Hello!!
Haha no, I do not get tired of that greeting, it is
wonderful to hear from home :) Man, that little girl is spunky, I am glad to
hear that nothing has changed! I got your package of letters this week, thanks
so much! And I greatly appreciate the voting ballot! Although, I am regretably
not informed at all...haha such is the life of a missionary ;) I guess I'll
pray about it or something! It was perfect timing seeing as we heard about
voting from the first presidency in church. I have letters in the mail for the
kids, so Matthew is going to get a card at least :) But I will send him an
email. I can't believe he is so old, they all are looking so old! Grandma sent
me a picture from the adoption, it was great :) And I do quite like the
hair!
Guess what? Do you remember Sara Turner? Well...she is in my
district. Meaning that she is in the neighboring ward, and we will see each
other at least 4 times a week for a couple of hours! Isn't that crazy? I saw
her yesterday for the first time, and it was sort of strange, because sometimes
I forget that Utah exists, but it was really great to talk to her :) She is
really going to be an incredible missionary, I can tell already! And she has a
wonderful companion. We are going to carve pumpkins with them and a couple of
sisters in the surrounding areas today, I am quite excited! It is the first
time that Sister Huang has carved a pumpkin, so we went and picked some out
this morning from a stand on the side of the road. It reminded me of when I
grew pumpkins and sold them. Good times :)
I am glad that you had a good Stake Conference! I am sure
that was really neat to have Elder Nelson there! And I love that story about
visiting less active souls. Sometimes it does get sort of discouraging because
they don't seem to ever want to change, or they don't want to talk to you, but
it is really neat to see that we can have an impact, and make a difference. The
little things we do definitely make a big difference in the end! Even if we
feel like we did nothing, a seed was planted.
That remindes me of two of my favorite people in Austin! A
mother and her daughter that got baptized while we were there. I remember that
I was with Sister Amis, trying to find some less-active members. We went to one
house, and no one was there. After knocking, Sister Amis thought that we should
go try a yellow house across the street. We did, and found out that a
less-active family lived there. When we returned to see them again, we were
introduced to their cousins, the two who were baptized. They are amazing
people!! It was neat though that we were able to find them through less-active
members. I wear a braclet that the daughter made for me every day reminding
that the little things we do make a difference. Plus it is a really cute
braclet ;)
Haha oh goodness, I have read a bit of the Old Testament as
well, what a crazy book of scripture!! There are some amazing stories in there,
and then some that make you wonder!
I am sorry that you have had a headache, I have been having
some recently as well. They seem to hit me for 3 weeks or so, then I get a
little break. Isn't it funny how it makes you so much more grateful for a healthy
body when you have pains like that? It is sort of neat. It reminds me that
there really has to be opposition in all things!
Well,
Miracles happen!! I hope that you all have a lovely week :)
Love you lots!
