Mom, I'm happy that you still get to see my friends. Tell them to send me pictures of them doing stuff!!
I am so happy that the ward is getting sisters!!! With all the new missionaries it is not surprising and I think the goal is to have elders and sisters in every ward. Sisters are awesome anyway. Love the elders, but sisters are better!!
For P-day we went to the stake center to play basketball and dodge ball. My companion made it

Bikes aren't that bad, I am getting used to it and getting to enjoy it! I might need a few more looser skirts though, because biking in a pencil skirt is really

This week was a week of miracles!!
Miracle #1 In the middle of the week we were
out contacting in Cottage Gardens, all of the people we wanted to visit not
being home. We were a little disappointed and decided to go visit one more less
active, not really thinking they would be home. We were almost there when I saw
a boy on his porch and waved, just trying to be friendly. Then to our surprise
he said, "You the Mormons?" Startled we replied yes and immediately
turned around and walked up to talk to him. Turns out this 17 year old boy had
been baptized a few years ago, but moved or something and didn't want to go
back by himself. We didn't even have his records in our ward! No one would ever
had known he was there if we hadn't been led to try and go visit someone we
hadn't even really believed would be there.
Miracle #2 After finding Drekell (the 17
year old), we were feeling giddy off the spirit. We went to visit a member,
but they weren't home. Then it started to pour, and I had forgotten the wise
words of Sister Seymour to always carry an umbrella, so I was

quickly soaked.
Kind of enjoyed it, it was better than the sweat that was soaking me before.
Anyway, we decided to visit a sister who was getting ready to go to the temple
that lived relatively close and get out of the rain. Turns out she wasn't home,
so we talked to her husband on the front porch for an hour. He has struggled
with activity and his faith for a long time and being able to help him and just
talk to him was a blessing.
Miracle #3 Two guys just walked into church!!
The members are great and a few immediately walked over and started talking
with them and got to know them and exchanged information. One was given a
blessing and both were given copies of the Book of Mormon. One even asked is he
could come back next week and bring his friends. It was so exciting!
Miracle #4 We found a family! We were out
contacting in our normal dinner to dark hours. There was two women talking
outside and we started a conversation. I didn't think it was going to go
anywhere and then the husband came out. He told us to tell him what we believed
and we prepared ourselves for what we thought was going to be a bible bash. But
he really wanted to know! So we taught him and his family for like forty
minutes, handed out some copies of the Book of Mormon and made an appointment
for a return visit. Afterward we were so happy and excited that we had been
able to experience so many miracles!!
Happy Birthday Mom!
Love
Sister Hudgens
