Cat Hair and Stuff like that

Man I do not know what to write. Well kind of I do, but as ush I don't know how to gather my thoughts here, so I'll just go :) This week. Great things. Always happening. It was transfers and a lot of people got moved around. Speaking of moving. We helped this member from Illinois move her non member mom who lives in our ward boundaries. To really describe the experience I'm just going to say 3 words. Cats. Hoarder. Shag-carpet. It was great :) haha! we spent all day helping and cleaning and didn't even get everything done because this sweet lady had way too much stuff for the moving truck. Way too much :) We had no one at church yesterday which is one of the most heart breaking things ever! We worked so hard to invite, follow up, arrange rides, and confirm that at least 5 people were going to be there. NONE! 0! wow! Sister Gunderson was so sad. But afterwords we had an appointment with Shonika and her family but She was sick, so we taught her 8 year old Jasmariah and 10 year old son Jaylin. We committed both kids to be baptized! WOO! They seemed so excited! Now we just have to get mama pumped! there 4 other girls that could potentially be baptized, Lashawnta, Shawn, KK and Bri Bri. We just have to get them to want to change. Saturday was really miracle day. We had a goal of 12 lessons taught with members present and only had 6 Friday night. So Saturday morning we called up a bunch of ladies and got one to come with us in the afternoon and another in the evening! Woah! We visited a bunch of less actives that we had never heard about or met and taught their neighbors and got 5 lessons!!! Miracle! One of the less active's non member husband talk to us on their porch. Yes he was shirtless and hairy. Yes he was super open and we were able to answer all of his questions and feel the spirit! Well besides that we didn't have a lot of really interesting stories. It was a bit of a tougher week but we manage pretty well :) Well thanks for everything fam and friends! I sure love you! Hope all is well and I can't wait to hear from you next week! :) Love, Sister Herrin P.s. Sorry this email's kind of lame. P.p.s. I'll send some pictures to make it better P.p.p.s In church we were asked to bare testimony of Christ as Mary Magdalene and a Nephite woman for primary. The kids loved it! One of them said "I knew it was the missionaries because they always have smiles on their faces!" So cute!
