Week 29: SUPER SICK WEEK!!!

As usual we had another crazy week :) 1/2 of the week was good 1/2 of the week was spent inside because we got sick :( but we still had some miracles and funny stories :) So P-day this week was also PIE DAY!!! So instead of buying a whole pie we didn't

Pie Day!

need we bought Oatmeal Cream Pies! They are so good!! After an awesome P-day we had dinner with a lady in our ward who is sisters with one of the best members in Campbell River so that was fun!!! She has an organ where you have to pump the peddles. It was so hard at first but after a few minutes I got the hang of it!! So cool!!! Monday night we were kind of confused as to what we should do! BUT the church just came out with the new Easter Video #Hallelujah so we decided to stop by some investigators and give them the new cards to watch it. Well we were able to get in contact with Kim and her kids that were supposed to be baptized last week but weren't! And we set up a return appointment which is so good because we have been trying to contact them FOREVER!!!! Tuesday we got to see another investigator who's husband isn't doing well and we walked in and she said she just didn't believe in God anymore. WOW...It's really hard to try to convince someone of God. I just KNOW there is a God and have never really doubted it. We really didn't know what to do

so we just testified of what we knew to be true and let the spirit do the rest! By the end she said she felt better and said she didn't know what had come over her. Phew....crisis averted! Still working with her though! She is going through such a hard time!!! We met up with Kim and her kids and it was CRAZY!!! There were so many kids because they were with cousins and friends! They all sat on the floor and listened to us tell about Joseph Smith. It was cool! Even though we thought they weren't listening they so were and learned a lot!!! That night we had dinner with a part-member family! LET ME TELL YOU OUT OF EVERYONE ON MY MISSION SO FAR I HAVE COME TO LOVE PART-MEMBER FAMILIES!!! I feel like it's my "duty" to teach them and help them! I just love them so much!!!!! Anywho...so this family they have a cat and they were telling us how it was 20 yrs old! I started busting up laughing and said Wow...Sister Hawke their CAT is older than YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHHAH it was

SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wednesday we had another awesome district meeting...no dinosaurs but it was still good. It was all about Charity and Love! That was something we needed to hear!!! Thursday was St. Patty's Day!!! It's not that big of a deal up here so I was really bummed :( We planned, visited a few people, and then we had dinner with a Less Active!! WE LOVE HER!!! she is so funny! She has her grandbabies with her and so we planned to teach them "Jesus Wants me For a Sunbeam" well our idea was shot down. HER OLDEST GRAND DAUGHTER IS A FREAKING GENIUS!!!! She told us the story of Noah in complete detail....told me things I didn't even know!!! Hahaha So we switched up our lesson and told her the story of Jonah! When Sister Hawke told her that Jonah was in the whale she looked at us like "you've got to be kidding me!" Hahahaha It was so funny!!! Anyway she's 5 and drew us the cutest little pictures of Jonah and the Whale. Thursday night we were also struggling as to what we should do so we just wandered around some stores...we were really frustrated that we weren't finding anyone to talk to THEN we walked past this lady and IT WAS ONE OF OUR INVESTIGATORS THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A HOLD OF !!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!

Sickies :(

MIRACLE!!!!!!!! She said she was still interested and that we could come back!!!! Whoohoo!!!! Friday was a crazy day!! We decided to do a Service Power Hour where we just walked around and tried to do as many random acts of kindness as possible. It would have turned out great but there wasn't a soul downtown...so it kinda failed!!!  BUT I STILL HAVE FAITH!! Hahaha We'll try it again next week!!! Basically everything we planned for Friday fell through...which was kind of a blessing because SISTER HAWKE GOT REALLY SICK!!! She had a terrible cough and fever! So we called Sister Burt and she told us to go home! :( Sad day!!! So we stayed in Friday night, all day Saturday. Then on Saturday I started to get sick :( and then we went to church on Sunday but slept all day after church!!! It was not fun!!! We're still sick, but today we went and got some medicine for Sister Hawke because she is so much worse!!!! Sunday was cool though!!!!! We dragged our sick selves to church and our investigators Kerry and Martin brought their family to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALL 6 OF THEM CAME!!! It was so cool!!!!! The ward here is so great! Everyone started talking to them and becoming friends, the

little kids showed their kids to primary....oh my goodness it was just so great!!!! They loved it too! They want to come next week!!! Tonight we are going to see them and talk to them about Baptism!!!! :) It's gonna be great!!!! The rest of Sunday was spent taking a nap and drinking lots of Gatorade and taking lots of medicine!! HOW FUN!!!! NOT!!! Hopefully this next week we can see lots of success and we can get better so we can get back to work!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you all have a WONDERFUL EASTER!!!!!!! Watch the video #Hallelujah SO GOOD!!!!
