How are you my dears?? All is well here in St. L.!

It sounds like you all are having crazy awesome things happening and also like you all enjoyed Conference.

I am excited to see the baby and hear how everything goes.

So this week was yet another crazy week. We are having at least 4 hours of study everyday with training and language and all.

Sister K. is doing really well. Just jumps right into missionary work. She reminds me of a peculiar mixture of Aunt Tiffany, Sarah H., Rachael C., Kiera Knightly and Mulan. Go figure that one out!! She is a lot of fun. Such a doll. I love her a lot.

We are working hard and finding lot of “ripe fruits”. Hahaha I try and make it fun for her and we always pick a fruit for the day and we’ll watch for “ripe bananas or mangos” Or whatever fruit we feel like. (looking for people who are ready for the gospel) 🙂

2 Funny things that happened this week:

Us: “Good afternoon!” Little boy: “Hey babes!” Sister K.: “He’s like FIVE!!!”

Hahaha she’s still getting used to getting hit on All day ery day……

We also met this really nice and prepared man who has met the missionaries before, we walked away “Wow that was one righteous mango.” We have fun with the work… In fact most the time I like to think of it not as work at all!! “Missionary work”… psh… more like missionary service, missionary fun, or something like that 😉

Oh this week our bathroom got flooded, there is a leak and our water went out a few times! Adventures I tell you. Also we caught a giant Cockroach!!! There are too many awesome things happening.

Oh man General Conference was exactly what I needed. All of the questions I went in with were answered 🙂

In fact when cool story: The other day I was just thinking of how great the Lord is and how much he helps us! And I came across the scripture in Doctrine and Covenants 84:88 talking about how his angels are all around us bearing us up and that he’ll be right near us. And then someone mentioned that in their talk and it really was a tender mercy from the Lord.

I am not sure if I could pick only one talk that was my favorite but I noticed they talked about Love and Charity a ton. And also about how whatever struggle we have can be fixed by a positive attitude and the gospel 🙂 SO TRUE!!!!

I liked so many things though I can’t narrow it down. I took like 2 pages of notes on each talk 🙂 Ahhhhhh… It’s the best.

Ok so remember how I said before my mission that I wouldn’t get fat?? Well……… uh….. jokes on me!!!! I’m getting a little fluffy.

Um so pretty much there is quite a bit of drama that is going around the branch… But I really love the branch they are so wonderful!!!!

There are still some challenges but they can be fixed with love and patience 🙂

I almost missed Conference because of technical difficulties…

We are still working with L. trying to help her feel supported and loved and help her prepare to be baptized she is so great. LOVE HER BAD.

And also T. is the best. We are helping him. He wants to start teaching us and he shares the gospel with his friends!!!

Anyway Life is so lovely.

Life is great over here. Thank you everyone for your love and support.

God be with you till we meet again.

Love forever and always, Sister Emily
