March 16: Obsessed with ChickFilA

What a good week! Obviously, it was my 
birthday this week. Which was amazing!
The Frosts had us over that day, specifically 
because it was my birthday (: haha They 
were amazing. They decorated with pink 
and navy blue (my favorite colors), we had 
pizza (my favorite food) and Chocolate 
Peanut Butter cake.  OH. MY. GOODNESS. 
It was AMAZING!!! I felt so loved, and at
home. Pictures included, at the bottom! 


They were so sweet, too...they even bought 
me a very thoughtful gift. It's a bracelet that 
I'm in love with. It has a tree on the charm..
which is perfect. Because I have an obsession 
with the Tree of Life. Sister Frost didn't know 
that either! She was so happy when she found 
that out (: Okay, moving on..(: A miracle this 
week was even though I was sick for 2 1/2 
days, the work still moved on! 


We were able to receive 4 referrals in those 2 
days. What?! Awesome! Also, on the day of 
my birthday, right before dinner, we met a guy 
named Al, who lives in our apartment building. 
He is the coolest individual, ever. He told us 
"Yeah, I was raised catholic, so I'm a heathen..
"haha..uhhh. What do we say to that? We just 
started laughing.  We had the best conversation 
with him. For at least a half hour, we talked to 
him about Christ, and our purpose here. He was 
diggin' it! Unfortunately, he's single. So, we can't 
teach him. But! He wants the Elders to come over! 
Sweet, huh? We're excited to see him progress in 
the gospel (: 

Oh, update on Melinda...she definitely dropped us. 
She's kind of giving us the cold shoulder..which is 
weird. But, really..she's awesome. She just needs 
a little bit more preparation! The weather is 
FABULOUS right now. So thankful it's warming up. 
The winters here...man, they ain't no joke! haha. 
I'm excited for the work to pick up now that the 
weather is warmer..people are out! And want 
strangers in their homes! :D That's bout it for this 
week. 

I love you all!Keep up the good work, stay true to 
who you are, and remember...THE CHURCH IS TRUE!
Love, Sister Casidee Brinkerhoff


P.S.Thank you so much for all the Birthday stuff!The 
Elders helped us eat the cakes ;)
I love the baby scriptures!! I already made a case for them (:
I love them!
Oh! And the biggest birthday card, ever!Every time I
look through it I can't help but laugh!
haha. I love it so much.
