This last week we have done so many things, but yet in very little time, since all day Wednesday I spent in my bed sleeping or watching church videos because I was sick. I still have a pretty bad cough, but I have regained my energy and don't have a headache anymore. So all is well!!
Tuesday we started bike week and it was super sunny outside and then within minutes a dark cloud came over us and poured on us for about 10 minutes and then was super sunny again. We were able to dry off mostly before we got to our appointment. (This elderly lady who just had 2 heart attacks and 1 stokes within the last 2 months.) However, this lady kept turning down her A/C. At one point she turned it all the way down to 64. She gave us an ice cream bar as we walked in, and then when we left she let us take another one for the road. We were sitting in there shivering. Yeah, that's probably what got me sick... but what can you do right?
Thursday we had our last zone conference with our mission president and his wife. It was so good! Things I will always remember from them will be to look at the positive and love to repent! I also earned my hold to the rod award! YEA!! (picture to come) This includes doing every activity (personal and companion activities at the end of each chapter as well) and memorizing 42 scriptures. 1 for each of the 42 points we teach as missionaries! YEAH!! After the conference we came back up to Russellville and had dinner at a members home. They have a pool in their back yard that had frogs in them. I wanted to catch one, so i scaled along the side of the pool and finally caught one. It's a good thing I didn't slip. The water did not look very sanitary.
Friday, ha, ok. We got a call in the morning from a member saying she had frozen chicken for us, and said she would bring it over a little later. Well not too long after she called us she came to our apartment and we opened the door to see the BIGGEST bag of frozen chicken I have ever seen. She was struggling to hold it, it was that heavy. AH. So we luckily fit it all in our freezer and then she invited us to go to lunch with her. We did. Ah. miracle right here. I was so nervous to go. I was still sick and didn't want to cough the entire time we were at a restaurant. I just prayed a few times before we went and while we were there, and those prayers were answered!! I survived without her even knowing I was sick!! Such a miracle. (maybe she did notice, because my voice did not sound normal... but didn't say anything.) We ended up giving tons of the chicken to the English and Spanish Elders because there is no way we could finish all that chicken, ever. So nice of her though! We have lots of chicken plants around this area and her daughter works at one, that's how she got it. So in another words we got all the reject chicken that didn't pass and cannot be sold, so workers take it home... I'm kidding. They have to take some of it sometimes just to check it and even if it is good, they can't put it back in. That is what we got!! NO WORRIES.
Well everything else is going good. We are still teaching Jere. She was suppose to get baptized this last weekend, but wasn't ready. We are hoping in the next few weeks she will be!!
Lastly, Happy FATHERS DAY yesterday to the greatest dad in the world! MY DAD. I will forever be grateful to YOU!
I love you all. Remember who you are!!

Pictures!!
All the chicken! I had to get a picture. So after we got home from lunch we packed up all the chicken again and took a picture. Then we put it all back in the fridge. So worth it!
Mom, I used those happy fruits and veggies for a lesson this past week! The kids absolutely loved them!! So, thanks!!
