Sister Edholm -- week 68

I am staying in Pollok and finishing training Sister Lagaaia, we are excited to see the miracles this transfer!

This week has been so so good!!
We were so pumped to go find after our district council on Tuesday, so we were chapping and we ran into this girl named Mary. We asked if we could come inside and she said YES and then without us even really teaching her yet, she started crying and said, "I just really want to be baptised" it was so cool!!! We set her with a baptismal date and she is so excited for the 21 April!! We are so happy for her too!!! MIRACLES REALLY DO HAPPEN

ALSO!! We had a competition for our flat checks this week and we won for the cleanest flat!! "all we do is win win win no matter what!!" 

Have a great day/week!

Sister Edholm -- week 67

HEYY

We found a girl named Emma this week!! We are teaching her tonight, but she has a got to be cool to have my name. 

We were feeling a lot better this week and Sister Lagaaia is really starting to love missionary work!

We were at District Council on Tuesday and we were all ready to leave, but Sister Lagaaia couldn't find her glasses. We were going crazy looking through the church for a good 30 minutes and then Elder O'Connor said, "Have you looked in your hoodie??" Her glasses were literally in the hood of her hoodie...

Have a good week!!
Love you all!

Stake Basketball -- Worland wins the Consolation Bracket

The Warriors had high hopes going into the State Basketball tournament in Casper but they lost their first game to Wheatland even though they were ahead for much of the game. But the boys rallied and won their next two to win the Consolation Bracket and come in 5th. They ended the season with a great win over Pinedale.  Andy played well and we will miss watching him on play. Palmer drove up from Logan to watch and we had a good couple of days together in Casper.


Andy is on the back row, #12

(some of us have issues with a camera, or maybe it's on purpose?)
 This was Andy's last high school basketball game and it was a little bittersweet. Here are some videos I caught of this last game.












Elder Edholm, you are assigned to labor in...

Andrew received his mission call on March 5th, Brian's birthday. He was able to read it in a text message which is pretty incredible!  He will be serving in the Bolivia Santa Cruz Mission and will enter the Mexico MTC on July 9, 2019!  He is very excited and we are very proud of him!

Here is the video footage on YouTube:

Andrew's mission call
