Wow, this week was even crazier than last week. We got sick (earaches are not fun), got to call the police (long story short, someone gave us some information that we felt obligated to report. But we didn't really get involved at all. So don't freak out Mom), had this guy named Modesto from Puerto Rico come up to our car and talk to us in hard-to-understand Spanish for a while (it was really stressful, I could only understand maybe 40% of what he was saying), helped someone change their Gospel Library into Hindi, did a bunch of family history with people, tried to do service with one less active almost every day this week (it still hasn't happened), played the piano a lot (while we were sick, at a homebound sister's house, and in sacrament meeting yesterday), helped someone be able to read their patriarchal blessing for the first time in 20 years (we actually showed up at their house about 30 minutes after the bishop and stake president left), and helped out in nursery (not by ourselves, and mostly with crowd control, but they really needed help in there).
So yeah, crazy. But it was so good. We had so many people to plan for during weekly planning! It's awesome how many people we are working with! And a lot of less actives are starting to come back, so that is awesome! We have seen so many miracles! Sister Smith is amazing. Seriously, she is an amazing missionary. She has such a desire to help people progress. The members, and those we're teaching, trust her so much already. And she has so many good ideas! Chowchilla is so ready to grow! And it's going to be fun to see how the Lord will work miracles.
Love you, bye!

| We checked off one of the items on my mission bucket list: take pictures in an almond orchard (grove, forest, field???) |
 |
| We had just a bit of a stomach bug, so we didn't go out (so we didn't spread it), and Sister Smith had fun playing with my hair. |

| We put out a bowl of candy. And all that candy was in the apartment already. |
