I hope everyone has an amazing 4th of July this week! I can't believe it's already July! I feel like the month of June went by so fast! 

This week has been an exciting one! ​President and Sister Dymock left on Saturday and President and Sister Thompson, our new mission president and wife arrived the same day with their 4 kids! Then there will be a what we are calling: "mission tour with the Thompsons" where they are coming to each of our area's and we get to know them and they introduce themselves!

Well, Monday was a blast! It was also very interesting. That morning we get a call from the Elders to come to Ihop. One of them got ET'ed (emergency transfers) and they wouldn't tell us who! We got to Ihop and they told us three of them were getting transfered and one was staying and training. We all started writing in transfer journals and talking. As we were  about to get in the car, they told it was all a lie and that only one of them was getting ET. We were so upset! They thought it was hilarious. 

We went to Couer D' Alene and it is so pretty! One of my favorite parts was when we got gooey's at the resort! If you dont know what a gooey is, its a ginormaus cup of yummy goodness! It was so big that sister Whitmer and I got one to share! After we walked around, did a little shopping and then went and saw the Lake! (Gorgeous!!) 

Tuesday we went to the mission home because a couple of days earlier Sister Call had accidentally washed her temple recommend. oops! We went and Sister Call had her temple recommend interview and sister Dymock needed some help so we helped her clean the mission home. It was fun, we organized the plates in the china closet. And I helped organize where everything should go like pots and pans, etc. We went and saw a potential investigator that we met at the ward BBQ. Shes moving so we helped her a little bit. She had the fattest cat I have ever seen! It was a real life Garfield! We then went to Dee's to see another Investigator that we help a lot. She's awesome though. She gave us some skirts that were not missionary friendly and we didn't want to seem rude so we took them anyway. Then a member brought pizza to our place because she forgot that she was feeding us that day! We then went in our apartment put on the restoration movie and ate pizza! It was really fun! 

Wednesday we went to Food for Thought. We bagged dog and cat food. After that we smelled like it. Which is always fun. We then invited the sisters from our apartment to go to Costa Vida with us. It was fun. There was this just returned missionary who had not been set apart yet and she talked to us for a while. It was really cool. That night for dinner we went to a members house and they fed us spaghetti. We then went to Newman Lake correlation. We took a sister who just put her papers in and we took her to Nancy's, a recent convert, and did some visits. It was cool, we got to tell her our scripture marking system and talked about missions. 

Thursday morning we thought we had bed bugs again. So we rushed to the mission office and they checked and we didn't, thankfully. (BLESSINGS!) They gave us some mattress covers to help with that so hopefully we won't get them anymore. Then after all that we had weekly planning. Weekly planning is my favorite. You receive so much revelation for your investigators. I'm so grateful for that. We then got to take Sherri, a recent convert, to the temple! It was so amazing! She had a boot on her foot but she took it off for the baptisms. It was so spiritual. We were all crying the spirit was so strong. We walked out the temple and we took a picture. I can't even begin to tell you how I felt. All I can say is that the spirit was so strong!  And after she said, I love that. I love that we get to help people. Then she told us her daughter is joining too. We were so happy. As we were driving home we cried happy tears because we knew that Heavenly Father was so proud of her and loved her. 

Friday we went to the food bank to help with packing food for seniors who can't get food for themselves. We then had district meeting and afterwards we went home to do companion study but Sister Whitmer started to not feel good and started getting really sick, so we called Sister Wilcox, the mission nurse, and she said just to sleep it off. So unfortunately, that was the end of our day. 

Saturday we got a new mission president! It will be a change but it will be good! We went and saw some investigators and none of them were home! We also went to the mission office and forgot they weren't usually open on Saturday's but we forgot because there were so many cars there. So, we stopped in to get some Book of Mormons and apparently they were open for the new mission president and we just missed him! After some studies, we  went to dinner at a members house and we had spaghetti with yummy homemade bread. I can't tell you how many times I have had spaghetti this week. Afterwards, we went to go see some potentials and we went to our old apartment complex and we knocked on the door and they opened the door and it was our old landlord that evicted us. He was really nice though and a Holly did not live there! Haha oops! 

Sunday was fast and testimony meeting. I love fast Sunday's as a missionary! It's a joy because we are encouraged to bear our testimony every month. And my testimony is constantly growing! We then went to a member's house for dinner and we had ravioli. Then we came home and did companion study and some online proselyting! The elders gave us referal for Newman Lake!!! Wahoo!!! We were so excited about that., We can't wait to meet her! 

This week has been amazing. I have felt the spirit so strong this week. I'm so grateful for our Savior and all that he has done for me. 

Have an amazing week! 

Love, 

Sister Call
