Hello my oh so beautiful fam!

Hey it sounds like everything is going wonderfully. Tell Lex that I love her with all my heart and that she’s going to great! Yes I did watch the Relief Society Broadcast! It was great. I can not wait for General Conference. I have never been so excited in all my life. Thank you for the package! You are a doll. WHAT’S IN IT???????????????????????????????????????????????????? Yeah I am really not that excited 😉 Just kidding I AM!!!!

Anyway our recent convert is doing GREAT!!!!!!!! He loves the branch they all do well at welcoming him into the family. He actually blessed the sacrament yesterday for the first time. He did so good!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cried in the congregation like a proud mother :,) He is such a gem. He is actually about to finish reading the Book of Mormon as well! He is oh so awesome.

We has a really fantastic week.

Last Monday we did a family home evening with the branch. It was a lot of fun we were teaching the members about the work of salvation and trying to push the work along. 🙂

We had been looking for a Nursing home to go and do some service and we had been looking forever and we were out tracting one day and FOUND ONE!!!!!!! YAYY for old people 🙂

I went on exchange with Sister W. this week and it was fun to be in a new area for a day! We went and saw K. the one from the picture and he taught us a lesson on being humble! It was great and humbling!

As for big news this week. This lady (Member referral) who we have been teaching for a long time came to church! STORY TIME: SO this lady L. we started teaching her quite a while ago…. BUT she did not seem interested she seemed very closed off and really likes to talk…. like everyone else here…. And so we were maybe going to give her a drop lesson and one day we went back and she just had a change of heart and wanted to read the BOM and learn more. So we continued teaching her. We wanted her to come to church and maybe set a baptismal date but she was like talking about how she didn’t want to rush into things or be “pushed” into things… So we kept working slowly with her. She is in Mosiah in the BOM now. She has a strong testimony of it. SHE LOVES THE BOM!!! At church she felt very excepted and felt the spirit a lot. And so we met with her last night and she told us that she wants to be baptized. So we asked her when thinking she wanted some time… NO WAY! She said she wanted to be baptized in 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!! AWWWWWWWW……..

Man the Lord is blessing us and we are finding people who are just so prepared.

As for me I am just trying to keep up with them. I am def not the best teacher but I try my best. I have a lot to work on but I’ll continue on having faith that Heavenly Father will help me to help these people who need the gospel. Oh man the church is true.

Anyway sorry I am almost out of time since I sent pictures today! But I love you all.

I want you to all know that I have a burning testimony of this gospel. Everyday I feel more and more blessed to have the opportunity to share it and to have it in my life continually. And I am so very grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and My Heavenly Father they keep me going. Thanks for all of the support back home. I love and kinda miss you all!

Have an ever so wonderful week! Choose the right. Read your scriptures. Pray. Look for blessings they are all over the place. LOVE YOU ALL!! I’ll talk to you in another short week.

All of the love in the world, Sister Emily.

Hello family…. and stuff…. Hahaha!

AWWWW….. Yes Lex and I email occasionally and I just wrote her a letter! Tell her that I love her and I am so proud of her. She is going to do wonders I tell you. Tell Liz congrats and that I love her and Linds too!!!!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!! This is so exciting!!!! Give Tan and Gray mood a hug for muh.

In a package I would not mind if you sent me maybe a Mormon Tabernacle CD would be nice! Also in the next letter you send will you print off the talk by Jefferey R. Holland from the 2012 October Conference about Peter and The Savior!!!?? That talk I used to listen to all the time? I have been craving that! ALSO I wouldn’t mind if you sent a little bit of clothes! If there is room… If not then I can buy like five dollar undershirts here that I bought one of. I am going to buy a couple today so I’ll be taking some money out of the account. It has been exceedingly hot here and so I have been not wanting to layer things and that is basically all I have! And if you wanted to you could send me my TOMS but that is optional! Whatever works for you mama. Thank you ever so much. How can I ever repay you?

I seriously love that quote you sent. It is true I feel like we grow so much and learn so much from the trials we face and it all comes down to how we endure them. I am grateful for my trials as a missionary they have helped me to grow into a better person even just this long. And I have a lot more learning to do.

Ok so cool things that happened this week:

We were out contacting and we met this couple R. and N.! And they own pigs… That’s right PIGS!!!!!!! I love pigs. So we went back to meet the pigs and they was one named oinkie…. IT WAS THE SIZE OF A HIPPO! I am not even kidding. When we go back to visit I will take a picture and send it home to you.

Brother K. has now received the Priesthood!!!!!!!! Awwwwwww…. He is the best. If he was the only success out of my mission that’d be good enough for me. BUT I have lot more to do out here. It’s wonderful 🙂

We met this man E. and he is a rosta man! AND he had hair down to his thigh!!!!! It was insane. He said at one point his hair was down to his feet. Needless to say I asked him for hair growing tips.

On Saturday we had this service project called “clean up B.” and we all went the missionaries and members and had a section of B. to clean. It was great!

There is a lot more but I am going to send pictures so I got to keep this a little short! I hope everything goes well this week and I am looking forward to getting the package.

Anyway life is great! This transfer is flying by. We are just working hard and saving lives. That’s all. No big deal. 😉

Dad: You are wonderful! I am sure you did great on your testimony. Sounds like life is going good still. I sure do love you!

We are doing the puppet show again and we were practicing on Saturday and Sister T. and I wanted to practice so we took our puppets home and practiced. It’s pretty darn funny! We performed ” You Raise Me Up” by Josh Groban with me singing as Josh Groban of course and Sister T. as the back up black girl singer and we did it with the puppets it was super funny!

Anyway sorry this email is all over the place! Life as a missionary is so great! I love being a missionary here So much 🙂 I am grateful for every single one of you and your support! I miss you all but honestly no offense I rarely think about home! Which is wonderful 🙂 You all have a magnificent week. I LOVE ALL OF YOU!
