June 1, 2015~ "The weather here is crazy!"

Hi everybody!:D 

Awwww Hollly is so cute!! You have to send me pictures of Holly and Tyler and Natalie with Holly! She has so much hair.  I wonder where the dark hair comes from That's so cool that her b-day is on Tyler's anniversary of his accident. Also dad sent me some pictures on his ipad and if you could send me those as well, that would be really great! thank you!:) Congrats mom, you finished Butte!:D Tell Ryan and Tyler congrats too please! Have Dad and Tyler started working together yet? or does dad have to wait tell after he's finished at Safeway? 

Yesterday me and Sister Moffet had one hour of knocking doors (we have to do 7 hours a week) and we were determined that the first two houses we were going to teach the Restoration and set two baptisms dates, the first house we met this guy in his 50's named Brother Clark. At first when we started talking to him i didn't think it was going to go anywhere, because he started talking about his dogs and when we mentioned sharing a message or scripture he didn't seem too interested. After about 5 minutes we were able to bring back the conversion to what we wanted to share and he said we could talk to his wife. He turned to Sister Moffett and said "She's your color" He let us in and we taught the restoration to him and his wife. The lesson went well and it was kinda hard to keep them from going off on tangents:D People in the South love to talk.. and talk:Dlol When we got to the Book Of Mormon, Sister Clark said she'd read it before in three days and she really liked it. Then she asked where she could get one, I love it when people say that:D Me and Sister Moffett always carry two Book of Mormons in our bags, so when she asked that, we smiled and said we actually had a couple of copies they could have. We gave her and Brother Clark Book Of Mormons and Sister Clark was looking through it and she stopped on the King Benjamin speech. She said I'm going to start here, we also marked the same chapter for Brother Clark so he could read with his wife. I LOVE THEM!!! They are very sweet and have been so prepared by Heavenly Father. Me and Sister Moffett always start with a prayer before we start knocking doors and Heavenly Father blesses us every time whether not people get baptized or even want to meet with us again at least were planting seeds and I'm happy doing whatever Heavenly Father wants me to do:D

Sad news Tim did not get baptized this last weekend, but we changed it to this Saturday because a girl named Afton, who had cancer, died last week on Sunday morning. Afton's funeral was the same time as Tim's baptism and we didn't think people would want to come so we change it to this Saturday. Tim didn't mind, he understood and is looking forward to getting baptism this Saturday. 

This Saturday there's also a ward barbeque right after Tim's baptism. And after the barbeque there's going to be a church tour. Me and Sister Moffett are literally inviting everyone!:D And we really hope people will come, we even telling the people we know they can invite whoever they want too. 

The weather here is crazy! it rains randomly and I always carry an umbrella with me. One minute it will be hot and the next it will be pouring rain. I never know what to wear in the morning because the weather here changes all the time lol 

Love, Sister Keables
