The West is the Best - Liberal and Garden City!
This past week, we had a dinner appointment with a member out in Hooker, Oklahoma. Beforehand, we called the member and asked if she knew anybody that we could go visit while we were down there because we have never been down that way before. She referred us to a gal named Angela who met with the missionaries a while back. We went and saw Angela after dinner and she is so awesome! She has 2 boys and her husband is disabled due to a work accident. But Angela is one of the strongest women that I have met and she is so positive! She is so much fun and really easy to talk to. We talked about the Restoration of the Gospel and were able to discuss a lot of the questions that she had. Later that night, we got a call from the member that we had dinner with and she said that Angela called her and was very pleased with the visit and that she would be coming to church on Sunday. She did come and she really enjoyed it! She already told us that she is planning on going next week as well! She works construction, loves biking (Harley's), and is very adventurous so we got along very well!
This week we had “Special Training” – and while we were in the training – they installed “TIWI” devices in our cars. Basically, it is a little device that yells at you when you do anything wrong (e.g., speeding, accelerating too fast, driving recklessly, and so forth). It will talk to you and say “Watch your speed!” The first time it talked to us, I almost had a heart attack and Sister Webb just laughed at me.
We had a member (Sister Hittle) at Stake Conference tell us that she wanted us to go visit her husband. She and her husband currently don't live together because he lives out in the country and works with cattle. His name is Gary and he is a true Rancher! He is so awesome and has so many great cow stories. Gary did not grow up with a religious background and has not really budged at all on the topic of religion. But, we were able to see many miracles this week, and he even came to dinner last night at the Bishop's house and he seemed to have had a great time! He is willing to try and open his heart because he really wants to see what it is that has truly helped out his wife. Today, we are going to go out to his ranch and help him with his calves. I am so excited! I always joke with him that I am from the city but it doesn't mean that I don't own a pair of cowgirl boots – he just laughs at me! I feel they are like my aunt and uncle with the relationship that we have now.
We met two gals from Cuba this week and they are absolutely adorable! They are learning English and are very good at it – especially for the short amount of time that they have been here. They came to church yesterday and it was a miracle because the speakers were actually talking in Spanish so they were able to understand everything. Also, the talks were translated into English so the rest of the congregation would understand. We are so excited for the upcoming visits with them. Yeney said the most beautiful prayer the last time that we were there and she just shared her gratitude about all the blessings that she has seen since coming over here to the United States.
