Belated 4th of July!

Did you notice that I hit 5 months this last week? I'm almost a third of the way through my mission..... Yeah, still not sure how I feel about the whole appartment thing.... :| But whatever, can't live in luxury forever... until I marry a billionare, but that may take some time...

Megan D. (I've been reminded that I am not supposed to use last names online, which is dumb because in real life I'm not supposed to use first names.... *rolls eyes*) Is pretty much the most amazing person ever. She wants to hang out with all the time, and she wants to help with missionary work, and she's asking all of her friends and family to take lessons, and get baptized, and she wants to feed us and drive us places... She's just too darn perfect. However, I found out, she's not the only Upcoming baptism to look forward to! Kelly M.  who I taught in the 2nd Ward, back when it was part of my area is getting baptised this Weekend!!!!! and Brother S.  is get baptized the first week of August! Elder Sorenson (I can use missionaries last names... I think...), who took over the 2nd ward is a really great missionary. His current companion- Elder Berentzen- is a dork, but I guess he's not too bad, because he's taking care of my people. AND, Elder Berentzen has a bad habbit of leaving their phone on the counter when we do service, so I've gotten revenge on them TWICE this week. 1:05 AM cat-call alarms, for the win.

We plan on setting a few more baptismal dates this week, so pray for us on that. I did memorize Alma 29:10, thanks! This week I think I'm going to work on Titus 2:11-12.

Maggie is finally 16??? That's so great! 

My fourth of July was AMAZING~~~ can't even express it! We had so many miracles, I had to put an extra sticky note in my planner to have room for them all (Every night we write the miracles we saw in our planner) I don't think I have enough time to explain all of them in detail, so I'll come back to this topic if I can...
We haven't had any storms for a while, but the tempurature has been pretty nice. In the low 80's all week. PERFECT for the 4th BTW. That's awesome that Jacob applied for a job! I hope he gets it!!! Did you get any pictures of Eliza's baby? How is she doing? Does she have an address? 

Thanks for the updates, hopefully we won't have to dip into personal funds for food too much this month (but with moving into an appartment we are now going to have to buy our own TP and laundry soap, and things like that.... so... ha. Pray for us? :P)

 Recently it's been emphazied the importance of communicating with family and encouraging them to choose the right. I've tried emailing Dad... no response. 

I have about a hundred more things I want to say, but I am almost out of time. I'm glad to hear Starla is continuing to go to church. Send her my love. :) Exciting new calling! Tell the fam I love them (extended, since you mentioned them.) I will pray for Lydia and Calebs baby (what's her name???)

 

Love you all a ton!!!! I would have Sister C. Hug me, but she's a germaphobe and despised physical contact with other living beings. So I'll just imagine a hug from you.

LOTS OF LOVEEE!!!~~
