Getting Frisbees out of trees!

So nothing much happened this week. All of our investigator lessons
cancelled on us so we met with a bunch of less-actives this week.

Well there is a less-active that no one has heard from in a while and
out of no where she contacted us asking for help. So we have trying to
get an appointment set up and nothing has worked out. So we had an
appointment with our investigator Matthew but it cancelled last minute
and we had a member with us so we decided to just drop by her house.
Luckily she was there and she was so happy to see us. We talked with
her for a little bit and then we shared a nice message about the
blessings that come from keeping the commandments. She came to a
relief society activity the next day and came to church yesterday. It
was crazy to see how one drop in appointment can do miracles. Matthew
was obviously supposed to cancel on us for a reason although I might
not have seen that blessing right away.

The other big event that happened this week was a funny little service
activity. We were walking down the street and saw a lady pulling weeds
out front of her house. And her kids were running around screaming and
yelling and not helping her. So we stopped and asked if we could help
and she politely declined so we kept walking and then she yells out
"wait can you do something else for me?" We turned around and asked
what she needed done. She said her kids got there frisbee stuck in the
tree and she wanted us to get it down. So after a couple failed
attempts at throwing things up there to knock it down she went and got
a broom and handed it to me. So I got on Elder Butikofers shoulders
and was using the broom but we still couldn't reach it! So now it is
getting dark and we can't see so she gets me a flash light. And then
she got the crazy idea to pull her car into her front yard under the
tree so I can stand on it. So here is Elder Swisher standing on top of
an SUV at like 8:00 at night with a flash light and a broom trying to
javelin this frisbee out of a tree! Hahaha the lady thought it was so
funny she started taking pictures and laughing. Well after a little
bit I finally got the frisbee out of the tree. The kids went wild!!
Haha the lady offered us a fudge pop and we sat there and talked to
her for a little bit. Turns out she lived in Santa Cruz for a period
of time!! Found a new investigator through a crazy service project!
Best part of the week!

Well that was the two big moments of this week nothing else really
happened. One week until transfers and I'm freaking out to see what
happens!

Oh we also found a cool sit up thing that we now have to work out
with! We found it on the side of the road and brought it home!!

Thanks for all your support. I miss all of you. Have a good week.
