3 MONTHS already!!!

Uhmm..so I hit my 3 month mark tomorrow. That's weird. 

It really only feels like I've been out for not even a month..

but it's been 3?! Cray. Straight up cray. 

Transfers are coming this next week, on the 7th..we'll find 

out who is being transferred on Sunday. It'll most likely be 

Sister Westbrook, because ya know, she's only been here 

for 6 months. I guess we'll see!

This week. What the hey happened this week? I can never 

remember when I sit down to email y'all.  We've been 

working with Emma, the 10 year old girl who is getting 

baptized THIS SATURDAY!! She just had her Baptismal

Interview yesterday, and she passed with flying colors! 

We are so excited. Her mom, Leslie, is growing so much 

because of this! AH! We were just at their house for dinner 

on Saturday, and Leslie told us her "ah ha!" moment. She 

said "I don't know if it was something you 2 said, or what..

but it really hit me. Ya know, on the Anti-Mormon websites 

people are on there saying how Joseph Smith was a con-

man.  Well, how could a con-man die for what he believed 

in? He was willing to die, for this gospel." I was really excited, 

because it was something I had said a few weeks ago in 

one of Emma's lessons while bearing my testimony of Joseph 

Smith. 

So, Leslie's baptism is up next ;) haha. 

(THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO OUR INQUIRY ABOUT MONEY 

BEING SPENT THAT IS UNUSUAL)

And yes. I'm aware of the $300. That won't be happening 

again, at least for awhile! I just needed new clothes. This 

week we're not even going grocery shopping because 

we've gotten a lot of food from members this week..so 

no need (: I did spend $30 on a birthday cake for Elder

Reber and Sister Westbrook, though. Their birthdays are 

on the same day, AND they're both from AZ, and only 

live 10 minutes away. WEIRD. hahaha. Oh and next week, 

I will be spending a bit of money, because we're going to 

Baltimore!! To the Baltimore Aquarium!! We are so excited!! 

We're going to 'step inside' of Forever 21, and H&M. But,

I promise I won't spend too much.  I'm still going to have 

fun though. I've been counciled to be the missionary who 

has fun on Preparation days..but of course, I won't go hog 

wild (:  Oh, get this. A member gave us $40 to buy new dresses. 

We tried to give it back, but she literally grabbed her kids 

and ran away. So, we couldn't deny her those blessings! haha. 

OKAY! So, we're at the Library emailing today, and this man 

named Matthew just started talking to us asking what we're 

doing out here and stuff. Totally just had a teaching moment! 

So awesome. I love this work. haha. 

(ABOUT WRITING LETTERS)

I'm going to try super hard today. I'm also wanting to send 

a letter to Wy. I just miss him, a lot. And yes, I am exhausted 

all day long! haha. But, every minute is worth it. 

I'm so excited to go to the Aquarium next monday! It's just 

our District going, so it's going to be so much fun!! Which, 

Baltimore is like an hour away, and we'll be there probably for 

a good while, and then an hour back, so if I don't get a chance

to email, don't panic! But, we're going to bust our butts back 

to email, even if it's just enough time to send a one liner. 

(I SENT HER PICS OF PROM DRESSES OF LULLABY 

AND KAYLEE... THIS IS HER RESPONSE)

HOLY COW. Lala,  What a gorgeous girl (: I miss her and 

her family. Tell them "Hey girl heyyyy!" haha.

Ahh! Kaylee! She's not old enough to go to Prom! NO NO.

I feel old. So old. She's so beautiful (:

That's bout it, Fam.

I love and miss you tons.

Know that I pray for you every night!
