Hi Everyone!,
It was such a crazy week for us getting this baptism worked out. By the time Sunday came around we were so glad to finally have it all worked out and for them to feel ready. Sean and Marie were so fun to teach and I am so glad we can continue to work with them. President Mackay and his wife, came out with us on Friday to teach them with us and it went super well! We talked about the Atonement and how the gospel brings us joy! I loved it and she was like I am so ready! We even had our Stake President, President Anderson show up to our baptism! It all turned out well in the end. The Zone Leaders called us and were like Sisters give us advice. We were like focus on loving others! It is not about numbers it is about bringing back our family! Even though, Sean was super afraid of the water he finally did it but we had to talk him into it!

We got to celebrate Pioneer Day at the church and it was so much fun they had tons of carnival games and moon bounces.

We got to help out with one of the games and it was a good way to get to know everyone in the Hanford Stake! We had President Interviews this week too and it was way different than how President Clark did it. I really liked it though, we got to talk to him and his wife,and they talked a lot about how our focus should be building trust. We have loved our jam sessions in the car to EFY music. I realize how much good music can change you mood so quickly. It brings you up and uplifts your day. We went to Stratford which is apparently super ghetto and we brought a Return Sister Missionary, and she is like no worries we have Sister Pachner. haha I was like I am running!

It was a great, crazy, and stress filled week! However, super rewarding and I am ready for AUGUST! WAHOO! Almost forgot I am almost 20 and getting close to hitting my year mark! We are off to go Bowling as a district! SO EXCITED!

LETS GO FORTH AND FIND THIS WEEK!
Love you all!
