I’m glad things are going great for all of you. So this week was great!!!! For reals!! We met a new investigator a couple weeks ago, and he is so legit is isn’t even funny! His name is J., and he has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot, and he told us yesterday that he has been talking to God, and that he knows it’s true. He also told us that he has a very strong desire to quit smoking, and to change his life completely. He gave us his cigarettes yesterday, and then he got a blessing to help him be strong and not go back to it. He just quit cold turkey! It was so great. He is AWESOME!! Very genuine and kind. He understands God’s hand in his life as well. He has seen and recognized the blessings that have come into his life since the elders first talked to him. He’ll get baptized for sure, and he’ll be a great member when he does get baptized. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Anyway, I think I’ll miss his baptism though, because we set his date for the 14th of April, and I feel like I’m going to get transferred this next transfer. 🙁 I hope not, but we’ll see what happens.

Other than that things are good. We are finding a lot of really elect people, which is great for us. A lot of times we meet people who seem nice and everything, but aren’t willing to do anything or change who they are. Lately, we have met a lot of great people who are willing to do things.

We will be having a baptism on Friday! Her name is H., and she is 78 years old. She is the sweetest little old lady! She is the mom of a recent convert that is from Peru. His name is J. 🙂 Anyway, she is so adorable. She will probably be the oldest person I will see get baptized. So that is something cool that will be coming up.

Just a little side note: We were told by our zone leaders that they write every week to President S. about us. So we asked them what they say about us (Sister V. and I), and they said, “We just tell him, ‘They are short in stature, strong in spirit.'” Ha ha ha. It was funny, and cute.

Mom:

Yes, I got the package. Thank you so much! I really needed my medicine. And you are an inspired woman! 🙂 I have been having allergies really bad lately, and the tissues were a life saver. And Sister V. and I have been enjoying the candy you sent. Also, who is that little chikadee in that picture you sent me? Oh wait, that’s my niece? What happened? She’s all grown up!! I couldn’t believe that was her. I seriously looked at that picture for 10 minutes straight trying to figure out how my sweet niece became that little girl. It’s crazy. And she’ll be even bigger when I get home. Weird. I’m glad she remembers me at least. 🙂 I miss her a lot. 🙁

Dad:

Man, that is so cool that you have memories like that with your extended family. Ha ha. And that is funny you destroyed a six pack of beer. We waste a lot of beer as well. Sometimes we find it and dump it out, so little kids don’t find it and drink it. I worry about that sometimes, because we have met people lately that are/were alcoholics, and they started drinking when they were like 5 or 6! That is crazy to me. But I guess if it is available, and your parents don’t care, then I can see how it happens.

Man, that is crazy about grandpa. He is a little troublemaker isn’t he? That’s scary though. I hope everything will be okay with him.

Emmy:

That’s awesome you are doing clinicals. Sister V. did nursing stuff before the mission, but now she decided she doesn’t want to do that, but that she wants to be a teacher. Go figure right? What a change in career field! But yeah things are great. I love being a missionary! I don’t want to come home! Well…like I do, but I don’t at the same time. It’s weird. When you go on your mission you will understand. 🙂

Well, I better go now. Be good. I miss you, but I’ll see y’all soon.

Love, Kelsey
