Walking around in the middle of nowhere!! Just kidding.
Just taking a
shortcut between neighborhoods

A lot happened this week I guess-
All the birthdays, illnesses and surgeries. Jamie really does look
like her brothers with all her hair in a cap. I had to do a double take.
I can't believe Grandma got an iPhone too, and the picture with her shirt
wouldn't load!! I bet she loves it though. It was nice to see the
picture of my friends. I miss them and all of you guys when I actually
have time to think about something other than missionary work, usually at
night. But I will just pull out our family picture and it will cheer me
right up!!
Tell Grace I really liked her card and
the picture she drew in it. It was my first letter I received while I
have been in Texas and it felt really good. I love the emails, but it
feels nice to get that surprise in the mail. I got a letter from Phil
this week too and that was a great surprise too!
This is right around the corner from where I live.
I guess when it rains a
lot it fills with water.
But this is what my area looks like. Houses and
drainage bogs

This week has been a little slow.
One of our investigators seemed to disappear. She didn't show up to
the baptism we were going to take her to so she could see one before her
baptism, her phone would go straight to voicemail, and she wouldn't answer her
door. We visited her house and called her every day for a week and still
nothing. We finally got to see her on Friday and it turns out she had
been so sick that it was the first time she had gotten out of bed all week.
She didn't even go to see her son at college so we know that she wasn't
blowing us off. We hope she will get better this week so we can go and
visit her, teach her all the lessons, and she can get baptized in October!
I read a really great article in this
month’s Ensign that I think everyone should read. It is called
"Rescued by the Gospel". It uses the poem about the old violin
and it was just so amazing. You got to check it out.
This cat followed us around a whole block that we tracted.
We named her
Pumpkin. I miss her

One of the sisters in our ward rode up to a RS board meeting in this sweet
bike.
Sister Seymour and I are jealous. We need to got us a bike like
this

Last week at P-Day we had a Nerf
war/capture the flag game and it was awesome. They had got PVC pipes that
were just big enough to fit a nerf dart in them and then we used them like blow
guns. It was super fun! It was funny because at first all the elders
wouldn't shoot me because I'm a sister. After I repeatedly shot them (one
elder in the part of his head sticking out from the barricade/table) they got
over that. It was fun though and I highly recommend it for any
activity.
I love you all and hope you are having
missionary experiences each day. It doesn't have to be big. Just exposing someone to the gospel helps out a lot. By small and simple
things are great things come to pass!!
