Hmm I can't even express how great of a month it's been. But
first and foremost:
Happy Birthday Grandpa Dalling!! I absolutely love you. More
than a million m&ms. You are such an incredible person. Thank you so much
for everything you are to me. I miss you a ton, but we both know I'm where I'm
meant to be. When I get back though, I owe you a huge birthday hug.
Promise!
And Happy Anniversary to my wonderful Leatham Grandparents.
My goodness, I have the best grandparents with the cutest love stories. You're
such an inspiration to me. What a legacy you've created simply by falling in
love more than 50 years ago. I love you both so much.
Byron's baptism was on Saturday! It was pretty amazing. The
really special thing about this baptism is I practically lived it a year ago.
It's strange being in the role of the missionary now with almost the same
story. Byron's girlfriend, Michelle, is just incredible! They both have spoiled
us so much. They work at Cheesecake Factory, so yes they definitely took us
there a couple weeks ago. Byron is so amazing. I feel so honored I've been able
to teach him and be apart of this experience for him. He's also an amazing
soccer player, so on Wednesday we are going to one of his games. His baptism
was so good! I sang "I Know that my Redeemer Lives" and Michelle and her
sister spoke. Michelle's brother in law baptized him. I love them! They took US
out to lunch after- they really do spoil us.
Sunday was a little crazy. We got John and Shirlene to
church! It was quite the task though. We had to go pick John up from the
rehabilitation center- they dressed him up for church, but Shirlene forgot his
black socks and suit jacket from home so we had to drive all the way back to
her house because he is super classy and refuses to go to church without them.
Anyways it took a really long time and we helped him get ready and we were only
20 minutes late for church. He still got the sacrament so that's the important
part! He absolutely loved church. And so did Shirlene! She hadn't been in a
church since she was a little girl. Earlier that week we went to spend some
time with her and listened to my favorite, Sonatra, on her record player. We
also looked through John's box of pictures/letters/keepsakes from the 1940s.
There's even a picture of Ray Evans! So many incredible things in that box. I'll
have to post pictures next week. I love that man. He's my marine! Speaking of
marines, keep my friend Jameson Mead in your prayers. He just got shipped off
to Afghanistan. :( John says he'll be fine. ;)
We are so super busy so the mission finally put in some
elders in Little Elm! So we are officially only covering The Colony again which
is good because we are drowning in work. One more fun thing before I have to go
to our district Halloween Party. Trunk or Treat was so fun! So I came up with
the ridiculous idea of dressing up as elders! We borrowed suits from our
district leader and his companion. Everyone absolutely loved it. I have to give
credit to this idea to Elizabeth and I (cantalina's for life).
Anyways I have a ton more to update but it will have to wait
til next week! I love you all! I love being a missionary. It's going to be
weird not having a baptism this week! ;)
Forever and Always,
Sister Dalling
