She kills the bugs, I park the car.

Hey Family!

Okay, first. Could Wyatt be any taller?! Or look any older?! And could 

he smile any bigger when girls are talking to him? haha. Oh man. I 

can't even believe it! What a stud.  I'm a little bummed I'm missing out, 

but, I'll be there next year to see it all! 

This week has been sweet. 

Alright, so the miracle and the funny story run together..

Here we go..

So. To start off...the whole mission had a 'Car Fast' on Thursday. 

Meaning, no one drives cars. We walk or ride bikes. Sister 

Anderson and I, did both!  In the evening we decided to walk, so our 

thighs wouldn't be worthless the next day, so we walked to people 

who were near home. 

We decided to go to a member's home we didn't know. His name 

was Brother C.   We get there, and his truck out front has a BYU 

sticker, and an 'Equality' sticker underneath it..  obviously, this is 

confusing. Whatevs. We continue.

We knock on the door, and he was so excited to see us! We talk to him 

for a bit, get to know him, ya know..the usual.  I could tell both Sister 

Anderson and I, were confused..  He kept saying 'We..', for example, 

we asked..  "How long have you been in the area?"  He said "Oh, we've 

been here for awhile.."  When finally, he says, "Yeah! Me and Chad..

something something something..."  And then I see a picture of him 

and Chad....  literally, I could feel both Sister Anderson and I mentally 

go "oooooooh.."  So, we're awkwardly trying to get out because we're 

realizing he is technically single, and we shouldn't be there!  But, what was 

cool...is we both had an amazing eye opener...

As we were talking, Brother C kept saying how Heavenly Father had 

answered his prayers, and had given him so many blessings.  We both 

realized, Wow. No matter what sin we are actively doing, or have done, 

or will do,  Heavenly Father still loves each and every one of us! He loves

the sinner, but hates the sin.  I mean, I already knew that God loves EVERYONE. 

But, the phrase is sometimes over used, so it loses it's meaning...but when you 

see it, right before your eyes...it's really something else.  It was one of the most 

amazing spiritual experiences I've had, ever. 

Anyway, there are a ton of other miracles that happen daily. 

But that one, was definitely one of my favorites! 

Welp. That's it folks!

The Church is true!!

I love you!

<3/Your Sister Missionary

(The following is the email she replied to me <MOM> after I inquired 

about how she is "really" doing. I would normally just file this, but it's 

a lovely testament so I thought I would share.)

I'm doing fine. I've been a little homesick this week, but nothing I can't handle 

with some prayer. Don't worry about it...it's just the trial I have during my 

mission.   Everyone has their one trial they have to get through, homesickness 

is mine. But, I know I'm strong enough to deal with it, and it's not forever. And 

honestly, what I'm doing now, is a lot more important. I know I have a family, 

and I love them, but I love Heavenly Father and Christ, too. I need them to know 

that. I need to keep going.  Don't worry Mama, I love my mission so much! Even 

though sometimes it's really hard, and sometimes I have days, just like every other 

missionary, when I just want a break....but, I know what's really important and why

I'm here.  I know that this is exactly where Heavenly Father wants me...here in the MBM.
