a fillion investigators

Ok… that took so long I don’t know if I’m going to be able to send more than one… but I figured I’d send some pictures so I don’t have to write since pictures count for a thousand or two thousand words or something like that–I figure you guys wouldn’t want to read two thousand words from me so a couple pictures must be good… plus this comp is uber slow and I just spent forever sending for refunds so my poor comp doesn’t starve in March…

V-day P-day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I want you all to know that in celebration I am wearing my pink skirt.
Yesterday we got a new district with twelve people six of them being Hermanas! crazy. Also you’ll never guess who is in the district. Good old Matt King. I’m pretty excited about it, he is going to Lubbock Texas. The Hermanas seem pretty great, so I’m very excited to have them. Yesterday I did what is called “coaching” with one of my teachers. It was the first time I’ve done it since being in the MTC, and I wasn’t scheduled, but I just started asking him questions, because I had a few things I really needed to talk with someone about, outside of my companion. So we had a really uplifting “coaching session” and I think that I have gotten a few things figured out of what to do better with my companionship and teaching. I’m really looking forward to that. Then during comp study Hermana Williams and I set some good goals and had a nice heart to heart about improving. Then the best thing was because I was in meetings and different things all day I didn’t prepare anything for the TRC, but she did, so we practiced  doing the TRC together a few times, and for the first time since getting to the MTC our lesson was almost equally split up. I was very excited about it.

a really long prayer

Well, it’s been an eventful week, I must say.  Sister Olga is driving me nuts.  She insists that she “doesn’t have time” for us to visit during the week–and yeah–she’s super, super, busy, but REALLY?  We only need to visit seguido for like a couple weeks and you can get baptized, jeez.  Sometimes people think we must have nothing better to do than visit them–but the truth is–missionaries are the busiest people in the world.

The Book is Blue

Hi beautiful family,
First thing, I am sending to James@holladays .org so I don’t know if that is working for you.. lemme know the correct email.
Two: thank you for the two packages since I’ve gotten here they have been greatly appreciated and the food is now fully consumed.
Three: Dad! I love getting your missionary journal entries, it’s one of my favorite things, so thank you for that.
Four: Matt, a lesson I learned a while ago, the road/sidewalk always wins the fight.
Five: If you see sister Hamilton tell her I love her and thank her so much, I will try to write her a note today, but we will see.

blood pressure

Well folks… we’re all still alive out here…

beeep… beep… beep… baaaaaaaaaaaah.

I occasionally get really stressed when I think about how soon I’m going home.  I wouldn’t say I freak out, but I feel like my blood pressure goes up to about 5000… and then I’m like, yeah, whatever, I still have time… I think…
