HENNEN FAM AND EXTENSIONS

"Do you want to be happy? Forget yourself and get lost in this great cause. Lend your efforts to helping people.... Stand higher, lift those with feeble knees, hold up the arms of those that hang down, live the gospel of Jesus Christ." -President Gordon B. Hinckley- 

It has been an amazing week:

Monday: PDAY best day of the week. I get to email and ZONE 6 SPORTS ^_^ love it!!! We were playing basketball, companions against companions and of course they decide to play man(companion guarding companion). Well everyone else is roughly the same size except me and my companion. I am ruffly 5' 11" without shoes but with my js I am 6', but my companion without shoes is 6' 5-6" with shoes he is 6'7" ya I'm like a fly compared to him!! So we played and he pulled his moves and tricks on me like I was not even there!! So its like 20 minutes in to our game and I am just fed up!! It's time to play my game!!! I tried bouncing it through his legs cause he is so tall and it worked but Elder Hicks got the ball who was on the opposite team then I was, goes for a three and Elder Hintze shoves it back down my throat. I go for a lay up and he does it again. So now I'm like anyone up for a little strobe light ultimate dodge ball? Everyone agreed and so we played. We start, 3 games into it Elder Hintze and I are left, Elder Pocheco shuts the lights off as Elder Hintze throws the ball and what do I do, I just stand there hoping and praying that he misses me but no, in the dark you hear from me "oooooh that hurts" and the light come back on with me in the fetal position, out of breath, trying to be tough!! Then we had dinner that night at the Febricis and we had challenged Sister Fabricis dad to read 1 Nephi 1... he didn't just read that, he read the entire book of Nephi. Omg my mouth dropped and that was one of our best lessons.

Tuesday: This is the day we have DM(district meetings). We went to the church and the sisters drove this time and Sister Mendoza pulls into the parking lot with 5 inches of snow at least. She presses the peddle to the metal, floors it, and pulls the e-break. We went almost 360, we seriously about died. We went and had our meeting till 1 and then went home fur lunch and studies. That night we went to the Handy's for DIN DIN, We had spinach soup and peanut butter cookies, ooohhh so good. We had a lesson and then went to Brother Bobs!! We watched a bible video and then helped him post it on his Facebook and then went home!!

Wednesday: We met with a less active member. It's Sister Bates, we met at the church and we started talking to her about life and then she brought up cruises and I was like I have never been on a cruise. Sister Bates and Elder Hintze both told me what goes on on a cruise and how much fun it is. I am going on a cruise when I get back after I get situated!! After, we went to help out the Spanish Elders in our zone, one was sick and they had appointments all day so we went with them and helped them out. I went with Elder Jones and we went Spanglish and it was quite awesome!! learning Poketo Espaniol!! hahaha fun day that was!!

Thursday:Weekly planning it takes 3 hours to do it!! then we went to Eddie Santiagos house, taught him about the restoration. Then went to Juanita Browns house taught her about obedience, Din Din time. After we went to Brother Vick's home, he went to France on his mission and so did his wife and they have been speaking to there kids in French and English and they are pros at it!! We went home after.

Friday: We got hair cuts and I just was sick of my hair  and told her military cut and my hair pretty much killed her clippers. She said my hair was supper thick! She was pulling hair with those clippers so many times that my eyes were watering up, Lol. We went back home to finish 12 week and then went and saw Brother Smith at a pizza place and we just read from the  B of M, talked a little then left to Toms, we taught Tom. We talked to Tom about priesthood and then missionary work and he is progressing well. We lost Bill that night, sad day but his choice. The Talbot's had us for dinner. We get there and all of a sudden you her Brother Talbot yell, "CRAP WE ARE FEEDING THE MISSIONARIES TONIGHT" Sister Talbot was like " This is the second time this has happened" he answers the door and says "guess what I forgot, looks like we are going out to get you guys something and bringing it back." So we went to a chinese restaurant and got some authentic food, Dog soup is what I got, that was the best soup I have ever had chinese wise!! Went back to the house and had a great time taught them the plan of salvation and what not!! Then home we went

Saturday: We went to Isibellas and talked with her and her parents. I CAN NOT BELIEVE ROMNEY DROPPED OUT BY THE WAY!!!! OK, then we learned that I was a mouse in the zodiac stuff and Elder Hintze was a dog and we both learned that anyone that is born in the year of the dragon, we are not suppose to get along with but if we were to marry one it would last forever!! Hahah to good to be true!!! We then went to Bobs again to help shovel his walk way, taught him another lesson watching "Lord, is it i?" and posted another post on Facebook. 

Sunday: Church got cancelled and so we went to Scotch Plains chapel after church, this older guy comes out and we start talking and he has a thick Jersey accent!! Omg I was laughing so hard. One of the brothers that spoke walked by and this older guy with the Jersey accent said "your talk was terribly boring" and the brother just laughed then I understanding the sarcasm was just laughing so hard I was crying and he just continued with the comments and I could not stop laughing!!! Gave me some tips on people like him then he left. Sure hope I get to be in that ward soon!!! Then we went home for studies till 5, then went to the Josephs and had dinner, taught them and then went home!!!
