HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! My bestest friend and sister. I love
you SO much! You're turning 18!!!!!! Oh my heck. I still feel like I'm 18. I'm
so excited to see you again very very soon!:) You're such an amazing young
woman. You've always been like a big sister to me and you always will be.
Thanks for everything! And Happy Birthday! Expect a package, my love :)
My goodness, I can't believe I'm already at this point. I'm
excited for what these last 4 months hold in store though!
Honestly it was kind of a hard week, especially compared to
the last 2 weeks. Y'all know by now, that's just how it goes. Up and down, but
it's all good! This week we already have 10 LTMPs planned. Last week we only
had 3 allll week. And it was hot. We tracted 6 hours almost every day. I think
that is mainly because I've just been here so long, I'm simply out of ideas.
Transfers will be a good change as hard as it will be to leave.
So sorry there's so much bad news! I'll quickly go through
it.
One of our investigators is only common law married and her husband basically
believes in having a mistress. She allows it because she loves and needs him so
much. It's super complicated and nothing I've ever
had to deal with!
Jacob :( We've called a few times this week and he sounds so
sad! His wife won't allow us to come over. This week we're planning on having a
lesson with him at the Brownings house so that's good. But still so hard.
He's one of my favorite people. Kind of like my younger John Cook.
The Carrillos fed us dinner with the Evans! That was fun. It
was super authentic Mexican food. So good! But sadly they didn't come to
church. I still have high hopes for them though! It feels pretty lonely in that
chapel without our investigators though.
On Thursday we went back to this one family we randomly
found last week. They told us they wanted to feed us dinner but we didn't have
their phone number or anything. We crossed our fingers, hoping they'd remember
and they did! It was so sweet too. They smoked pork, had potatoes and rolls for
us. They even made crepes for desert. They are very active in their church but
said they were just so touched by what we were out doing all day. It was so
touching.
Also Blake is doing pretty well. He's still super intellectual
and scared of emotional promptings being the spirit, but he's taking
steps.
Also God is just taking such good care of me. It will be
super hot to the point where I don't know if I can knock another house, then He
sends just enough rain to cool things down. Not even joking! It happened twice
this week.
Our apartment might have been haunted for a night or two...
but we got it taken care of!
It will be so hard leaving Sachse, lemme tell you. I love
the people SO much. I love having this connection with them. I have been
blessed tremendously to have served here. I find out Saturday where I'm going!
I really want to go to Heath or out east somewhere!
Have a great birthday Kate, and a wonderful week my awesome
family and friends :)
I love you all!
