Hey. How is everyone??? I miss you all. Thanks
for all the birthday wishes and packages and things!! I sure appreciate
everything you all do for me. Thanks so much!
Also Happy St.
Patricks Day!! I feel ashamed though.. I forgot to wear a green
tie...... oops. There is always next year right??
Well cool. This week was flippin sweet. Seriously.
We saw some amazing miracles. We did exchanges with a district leader
over in Lyman. I stayed in our area and we were able to pick up a new
investigator and it turns out that she has a pet Racoon! So she let us
touch it and pet it and it was like licking our hands! It was nuts! We
took some pictures of it, but they are on another missionaries camera,
so i'll send them next week! We also taught some great lessons that
night and put another person named Theron on date to be baptized on the
13th of April. The work is moving forward very quickly! We have 3
baptisms this week! Its going to be awesome!
As a zone this week we hit the Dry SOE. Which means that we hit the
standard of excellence as a zone except for in baptisms. Next week we
should have 13 baptisms as a zone. So we will hit the Standard of
Excellence which is (as a zone) 8 baptisms, 24 people on date, 40 people
at church, 64 lessons with a member present, and 24 new investigators.
It is so exciting!
Well hmm what else happened this week. I am just
jumping all over the place in this email... but on my birthday we went
to Salt Lake for an all day training. It was pretty good. Then we had
dinner with Elder Edstrom's family because they were in town and his
sister was going into the MTC the next day. It was great. Olive
Garden. Mmmmm. Then we went back to the Winn's house and they made me
brownies for my birthday, got me a tie that matched President Winn's,
and a really soft blanket. It was very nice of them. I am so grateful
to have such an awesome mission president and his wife!
Well the last thing is the pictures this week! Sooo
YES! It is real! Those are REAL academy awards. This man who is
letting us teach his friend in his home pulled them out yesterday. They
were given to his Grandfather. His Grandfather got 7 Oscars! He has
three of them. He got them in set decoration! And guess what movies
for? Hello Dolly, Cleopatra, and one other one I can't remember. It
was sooo cool!! The only time I'll ever get to hold a real Oscar!! I
bet you are jealous Jennie... :) ha ha it made me think of you. ha ha
So yeah. Just another random cool thing that happens to us. I love
being a missionary. And the man we are teaching in his home should be
getting baptized this weekend. His name is Billy. Im excited.
Well I think that is it! I love you all! Miss you tons. Hope you have an awesome week!
The church is true.
Word.
Godspeed,
