I’m glad to hear that your talks went so well! I was shaking pretty bad in my talk too haha it was funny because afterwards there was a family that had been visiting from Arizona and their son came and asked if I had ever been to Arizona because I looked familiar. I told him that I hadn’t and that he looked familiar too. Turns out they used to live in Leeds and I went to school with him for a year hahah crazy world. I’m a little nervous to see where I will be going. I’m not sure if I’m district leader anymore... Nobody has told me so there is a possibility I’m not in leadership anymore. But we will find out tomorrow. Oh I was going to tell you guys. There is a cool thing they do here in B on Fast Sunday they put out papers in the foyer with all the missionaries names on different papers and the ward can sign them and write little notes on them and send them to their missionaries. I think it’s a good idea 'wink wink' hahaha I’m glad to see them getting members involved though that really is the best way to do it.
So mom.... Michelle, Becky, and Dad have all made mormon.org profiles.... I’m still waiting to see yours ;) hahah
Also a lady from my ward here in B is going to St George on Saturday and she has my pants for you! They still have the tags on and everything. She will be giving you a call I’m sure in the next few days. She is an amazing lady and is quite spiritual giant.
Well I love you tons and miss you!! Hope you have an awesome week! I’ll let you know where I’m going next week!
To family: Welllll all I know is that for sure I am leaving. I got the call Saturday night. Something crazy is happening in B though. They are completely taking out the N S missionaries and now B B will cover N and B east and B A will cover B West and F I. I’m kinda jealous they didn’t do that sooner because F I is super cool and I would love to be able to do work there. It’s been kind of a crazy week. Not a ton of lessons again. But we were able to get in and teach some good lessons to people and I said my goodbyes to a lot of people throughout the week. Elder N and I had a pretty cool experience. We had an appointment with the V family again. And once again we got there and there were NO cars. We both got pretty bummed and went down the street and pulled out the ward list to try and see if we could find someone to go to. None of them felt right to us but when we started driving we had the feeling we should go back so we did and went and knocked on the doors even though there were no cars. Well the person who answered the door didn’t live there and was just watching the house but he just so happened to be a kid I recognized as the guy who is dating one of the youth in our ward. He let us in and we taught him a really powerful lesson on the Restoration and he said he would read the Book of Mormon. It turns out he has a lot of ties to the church that he didn’t even know about so hopefully that will work out and they will make progress. Other than that our week was pretty average. Yesterday was a pretty sad day. We all gave our talks starting with Elder N who spoke about Temples, then Elder G played the piano and sang, then Elder R talked about the Atonement and I ended by talking about Hope. I made copies of my talk and I’ll be sending one home for you guys. It was funny because the other day I realized that it was one year ago on Sunday that I was standing in front of our home ward giving my farewell. Well exactly one year later I gave my "farewell" from B. I had a lot of people come up to me after and tell me how much they enjoyed having me serve there and how much they have loved getting to know me and that they were going to miss me. It was crazy! There were people I didn’t even think liked me very much that did that. It is always sad to say goodbye.
After Church we went out to the H’s and did scripture reading with them then me and K made Brownies because of my birthday on the 13, her birthday on the 22, J’s Birthday which was that day, and sister H’s birthday on the 13 of Aug. so that was pretty fun and they turned out pretty good. after that we went to dinner at the R family and had a really good time and when I was leaving there youngest daughter gave me a little card and she said how much she was going to miss her "favorite missionary & best friend" it was super cute. Then we went to the E’s where earlier in the week we had gone and tie-dyed shirts and picked them up and relaxed for a bit. My shirt turned out pretty cool. I’ll send some pictures soon. It was super sad to say goodbye to them all though...
Well today was probably one of my favorite Pdays I’ve had so far. We went over to a family’s house we had only been to once because he said I could come by and play around on his guitars so I did and Elder N played on the drums a little and then Bro H played on the Bass and we just had a super good time! It was the first time I had played an electric guitar in a year. After that his wife asked if we would like to eat lunch with them so we all had PB&J and apples and then we played some games with their 8 year old and 11 year old kids. It was really fun and relaxing and it was good to get to know them better... now that I’m leaving. haha I wish we had gone over sooner. Yeah it’s been a pretty good week and I’m just excited for transfers and to see a new place... which will be down in the valley again! No more desert for now! haha well I love you all and miss you!
