So much has happened this week!!!! I got to speak at Courtney's Baptism,
which was incredible for for her, and a really significant event in my
mission too. WOOT!!! She's a wonderful woman, and I'm so glad to have
that connection with her through Margaret. haha. Small world..
Also, I got the Birthday package that mom sent me!! It was awesome!!! My
companions were mad at me... not mad... but yeah... so I get this
package from mom, and I got a package with a BAZILLION pictures from
Randi and Monie AND I got two letters that day... haha... Last week was
a good mail week. hahaha... So the chocolate chips in the package mom
sent me were all melted... so i dunno how well i can make cookies with
them, but they'll definitely get used one way or another. Thank you for
the runners too, and the pomade, and the birthday stuff and the Little
Mermaid card... basically that was awesome and i loved it. hahaha... and
also... The shirts... So I know i told you I've gained some weight...
but not THAT much weight!!!!!!! The shirts were cute, but they were
HUGE!!! I'll prolly be able to find someone to give them to or
something, but it made me laugh.
Also... I'm no longer so white... I'm slightly off white... haha... as
in... I'm beginning to get a tan. I already have a mary jane shoe tan
line on my feet. hahaha... it's really funny actually...
Speaking of sun.... IT'S SOOOOO INCREDIBLY HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like...
getting up to 95 degrees PLUS humidity, I'm beginning to feel like I'M
the one in Ecuador!!! (by the way... travel safe Randi. and send me
something cool. haha..) BUT SERIOUSLY!!!! IT'S SO REDICULOUSLY HOT!!!!!
Tracting is such a gong show because it's SOOOO humid that it makes you
sweat from every pore and you're perma-sticky. it's gross... and i have
to change at least once throughout the day... I'm gonna be doing a lot
of laundry this summer. Good thing we have a washing machine in our
apartment... ........ I miss snow.....
Also... THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING PART!!!!!!
WE COMMITTED LOUISE TO BE BAPTIZED ON JUNE 21!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's the one
who has an Athiest husband... but she's setting such a huge example to
him, and i KNOW that he's seeing her change and become this even more
incredible person because she's reading the Book of Mormon daily and
praying daily... its just incredible to see. and as if that's not cool
enough, her grandson, who's a member and serving a mission in California
gets to recieve a letter saying that his grandma is getting baptized and
that his grandpa will be following at any moment. MAN!!!!!!!!! THE
CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah!!! I wanted to congratulate Tat for her baptism too!! I'm so
happy for you!!! It's so incredible to see not only the people I'm
around gaining and strengthening their testimonies, but also to see
people back home who are doing the same. The work is progressing, and
it's miraculous.
This has really been an incredible week... i cant even express to you...
Thank you so much for all of your prayers... I feel them. This really is
Christ's church restored again to the earth in it's fullness. Joseph
Smith really was a Prophet, and through him, the church and the
priesthood was brought back. I belong to the same Church that Jesus
Christ organized during His ministry. He is my Savior, and I love him.
The least i can do is deal with this rediculous heat for a few months.
It's all worth it.
Love y'all!!!! Keep up the awesome!!! Miss you!!! and I pray for you!!!
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
