Man, this week was a lot of work but SO much fun!! Many
wonderful things happened! We had a priesthood campout, a member get her
endowments and branch conference!

| Priesthood Campout |
The campout was so much fun; we camped with the boys and men
of the branch from Friday to Saturday on some beautiful property that Brother
Cheney owns just out of town. I was able to plan it and get everything going
for it which was stressful but well worth it. We all arrived there, set up camp
and ate a wonderful dutch oven dinner a high councilman and his brother made
for all of us. After that we had a short fireside devotional about the priesthood.
Then just partied! ahah well until 1030... Missionaries still have their
curfew, even camping! The next morning we cooked breakfast, lots of people went
fishing and one boy caught a pretty decent size fish! When breakfast was over we had a survivalist and a reservation ranger come and teach us some wildlife
survival things. It was kinda wet, sorta cold, but VERY fun. I feel like it was
a success because this Sunday we saw that that the men became closer and some
of them became a lot more excited about the Priesthood!

That Saturday afternoon, a couple of the other missionaries
and I had the privilege to accompany one of the members of our branch to go
through the temple for the first time! She is the first one to do so since we
have been here. It was so exciting! She is the first of many! One soul at a
time.
Branch conference was great too, every leader came down to
our building and they are working very well with us to integrate the branch
into really what an LDS Church should be like. A leader of each auxiliary will
be here at least twice a month for the next year to help this branch! They will
help with temple trips, youth activities and anything else! That makes us
missionaries very excited! That even if we all left, the branch will still be
taken care of!
We are working with a very sweet woman right now, she has
been less active for a while and just wants to change her life around and get
right with God again. She is doing very well. I love helping lost souls!
God is great!
