Saw My First Flying Cow


6.1.15

Family and friends,

What a great week we had!! Lots of lessons and lots of progressing people. A couple funny stories from this week. So my companion does not like to eat meat because back at home pigs were her pets and she loves animals so she just can't do it. Anyways so we were in personal study and we heard a gunshot and we looked at each other and weren’t sure what it came from so we just went back to our studies. So we are in the middle of one of the best companion studies that we had ever had and all the sudden my companion was looking out the window and had a weird look on her face. The next thing I noticed was a flying cow, yes you read that right but after staring at it for a little while it was a cow being hung from a tractor and if we were not in some really good studies then I am pretty sure my companion would have lost it. I was laughing because she really thought she had seen a flying cow hahaha

The nights here are so pretty and in Elkins we are really blessed to not live in the middle of the city where there are a whole bunch of lights. One night this week we were able to go and catch fireflies and they were really pretty. Every night we drive home we see them all over and it just makes me think of the Hymn For the Beauty of the Earth:) In the middle of us catching fire flies there was this frog that came out of the middle of nowhere and scared us both so bad but we caught it to (NO I did NOT touch it, she did).

Sunday was missionary Sunday and all the missionaries had the opportunity to speak and we also had a special musical put together, "I'll go where you want me to go" and it turned out really nice. My talk was on the light of Christ and how as missionaries, both full time and as members, we are helping people to find their light of Christ and that light will be brought out when they hear the gospel. We also were very blessed to have 9 of our investigators come to church!!:D A full week and tiring but allllll worth it!! Hope you all have a great week and keep up the good work!

Love Sister Mauck
