I am glad Haylee's birthday went so well. That is so fun. The house is darling friends!
Well, I am glad to hear that everyone is in such great spirits there! Things are going well here.
I am glad that you took the computer to Best Buy. I have a three year warranty that I bought so I am glad that you were able to use it. It is under your name madre.
Um....So J. got baptized on Saturday. That was fun. It went well. I enjoyed the service. Here is a picture of the baptism...Well, his family and us.
We are teaching two families currently that are making good progress. One of the families is coming to church and the other will follow shortly I'm sure. One fam is Catholic and the other is Baptist. The Baptist family is super active in their church. It was cool because Sister W. and I saw them outside a few months ago and got an appt with them. Sis. P. and I have gone over a couple of times. Last night Sister F. told Sister P. that she has been praying and the answer is that she needs to keep listening to her....she told me no offense....haha. I am ok with that as long as the answer is to keep listening. We tag team taught them because the husband is ready for different doctrine than she is. I taught him the Plan of Salvation while Sis. P. taught her the Restoration using blocks to build a church. So fun, right? We had a good time.
Tracting here is ridiculous because of how hot it is. People tell us we are crazy....We think they should let us in. I carry a sweater however because when we do get in we freeze because of the sweat that is all over. It is really disgusting actually, but we survive.
Ummmm....transfers are at the end of the week. The ward has been wondering how long I've been here....yeah...just six months, but I'm not ready to leave. They think I might so people are offering to feed us. I'm getting BBQ Ribs on Friday with the G....I'm stoked! I really don't think I will leave. Bro. M. said he was going to call Pres. M.. He said, "I just got you trained.... I will tell Pres. that if you leave I will take my family and leave the church....He won't do that with a family of 8!" (Jokingly of course!) But really, I have good rapor with the ward.
It was really cool because on Sunday, Pres. J. (of the H.T. Presidency) was in our ward (he is in it, but they don't come a lot).. He told Sis. P. that she had a really good companion. He looked at me and smiled. I was super happy. The first Sunday we were here he had us come to his house. He told us if we kept working hard and having faith we would see much success here....he is right! Woot! The bapt. goal for the ward is going to be moved up since we've accomplished it already.
I am going to send home my camera card. I bought a flash drive today since the pic place at Walmart was broken....I haven't been able to get pics of all these fun things so I just will send the card home and keep my flash drive with all the pictures.....
Oh, last time I took my computer to best buy, K.(F.) put on one of those stickers and I totally froke out. I actually had to go home and scrub it gently for a long time to get all the gunk off. I told him that. He just laughed at me....I told him he couldn't put it on the next time I brought it in...haha (so you are right...I do freak out about that). I am glad they are taking good care of it.
Sister M. goes home this week. I am super sad. We've been so busy (and so has she) that we've not been able to get over there to see her. I hope she looks ya'll up...She is planning on it.
I wish I could say that all of the success in the ward is from me but really, it isn't. We have been working our tails off and that helps, but it isn't just us. I have been trying so hard to be obedient and FAITHFUL. It is easy to just go through the motions of missionary work, but it isn't as easy to have faith to find those who are prepared. I have been working on my prayers and I've seen an increased opportunity to listen to the Spirit and an increased senstivity to Him. I am so grateful for that. It helps me a lot.
My comp is great. I've been praying to understand where she is coming from more and I've been talking to her about things. She will become more confident because I'm making her...haha....She will appreciate it though. She is cool. We get along fairly well....
Well, I love you guys so much and I hope everything is going ok! I will probably be emailing you from A. next week, but in the off chance I don't, know that I am sad about it! ;)
P.S. Thanks for your prayers! I enjoy that. It is helping! Pray we can find and baptize those families who are ready. I'll go find em!
Oh yeah, I forgot about the whole dizziness....Well, things are going ok. It is betterish. I just try not to think about it. I'm trying to eat more regularly. The dizziness isn't as often or intense now. I'm still trying to figure it out. Don't worry. I'll be ok. I promise it probably isn't as bad as you all think....I don't think it is bad. It is livable....as in livable with...I can live with it.... I don't think you really want to call the mission office or Sis. M....then they'll just check up on me. I will be ok. I'll email president...haha
Sorry this email is so sporadic. I am not really thinking straightly....Hm.....I don't know why. Maybe because today was super frustrating as a P-Day....but all is well. Life will go on and I will go eat some Chili's or some random pasta salad.
I love you all so much!
Jackie
