Week 43: March 20, 2017: Time is flying by...

I feel like this week flew by and I cant remember much of what

happened honestly but I know that we met with lost of less actives and

members to try and gain member trust and it is going really well! We

met with a woman named Jillian and she is so sweet! She is 8.5 months

pregnant and invited us to come back and have dinner with her and her

non member husband tomorrow night! It was crazy cause when we first

walked in there, she had these 2 big and CRAZY dogs that were just

jumping all over us and I thought I was going to die for a second haha

but we survived and she loves missionaries! I don't know how open she

is to coming back to church yet and her husband isn't interested in

religion but we'll see how dinner goes tomorrow!



We met with this super old couple in our ward who I think are the

sweetest people ever and it went super well! They just started coming

back to church because her health is improving and so we just went to

get to know them and share a message. It is so sad cause she is in a

wheelchair and can barely talk and he has super bad kyphosis and so

its sweet seeing them together and how much he loves her. They're the

best.



We did some service for another less active who is literally a

hoarder!! We had to go through her garage with her to try and get the

Easter and summer stuff out from the back and the Christmas back where

the summer stuff was. It was rough. Plus we think she has hand foot

and mouth disease and has been sick for the past almost month so

hopefully we don't get that...



We have transfers this Thursday and I don't know what is going to

happen. I have been in this area for 3 transfers now so we'll see what

happens cause I think it could go either way. I find out on Tuesday

night so stay tuned for next week! Also, with transfers this week it

could cause problems if you send anything for my birthday because I

may or may not still be living in this apartment...



Thanks so much for all of the emails and pictures that you send me! I

love hearing about all of you and seeing pictures! I hope that you

have a great week together in Texas and that all the kids fly in

safely today. Have fun at the rodeo and I hope that you have a great

birthday mom! I'm sure that you are happy almost all of your kids will

be in town for that! I hope that everything goes well with it being

the anniversary of Heidi's death this week too. I love and miss her so

much and I'm sure it will be hard but i hope that you do something fun

to remember her too :) She was always a party and I know she would

want us to be happy and celebrate her life rather than mourn her

death. I know we will see her again :) I am so grateful for the gospel

and for the blessing and hope that gives us. I love and miss you all

lots! Have a great week :)
