1. This is when we went to Top Golf. It was so much fun! I
really hope I can find a Top Golf again someday. I miss those missionaries!

2.Sister Erickson and I in a gated community we just
happened to slip into! Luckily the security person was helping someone with a
problem, so he just let us on through.

3.The temple with my favorite district! Sister Stephenson
and I are hopefully going to the temple this week! I LOVE THE TEMPLE.

| Pei and her family! Oh my goodness I miss them! This is the Chinese family I was able to teach for a while. Loved their food! |
 |
| The only bright side to transfers is being able to see old mission friends. Elder Walters- awesome friend! |
HALFway done?!?!?
Oh my goodness, it hasn't even hit me. I have no concept of
time whatsoever since my mission. The past nine months seem to have went by
like a blink of an eye, but yet it also feels as if my life didn't even exist
before my mission. Weirdest feeling ever! But I'm lovin' it!
By the way, I love my family! Congratulations Katie
for your performance in Guys & Dolls. I'm so sad I couldn't be there
to see it, but I'm sure it was incredible. Annnnnd it's almost my Jacob and
Sara's birthday! Wow, I have a great family.
This past week was a little slower because of the ice day.
By the way today is bright and shiny again.. Texas is crazy! Jeremy is getting
baptized this week and I am SO happy. I'm so sad I won't be able to go.. It is
far away and the timing doesn't work out with Stake Conference. I'll make sure
to get pictures of it though from Sister Erickson! The Davis family makes me so
happy! Jeremy sent me a note this past week, telling me about the news and that
he's sad I won't be able to go but knows I'll be there in spirit. I definitely
will be! And hopefully I'll be at their temple sealing in a year.
We had a huge miracle this past week! A member in Wylie 2
ward asked a friend at the gym the 'willing and brief' invitation. At first she
politely declined, but then a couple of weeks later she told this member to
give us her contact info and that she'd love to meet! Apparently she hasn't
been able to find a church that fits her family. Her husband isn't really
interested yet, but she has 2 boys, ages 3 and 5. She hasn't been real active
in a church since childhood, but she's felt the impression that she needs to
make God more a part of her life. She's been attending a Baptist church,
and had a really spiritual experience as the pastor was talking about the
Creation and God's plan for us. Because of that experience she wanted to meet
with us! She is awesome! Sister Barch, the member, came
with us to the first lesson. The lesson went incredibly! She was really curious
and trying to understand. She seems to love the idea of the Restored Gospel on
the Earth. When we invited her to be baptized, she said, "Of
course!". So Sachse might have it's first baptism very soon! She most
definitely has high potential. Too often, when we find people like this, Satan
gets in there right quick and ruins everything, so we are going to be praying
hard the whole way.
Also we had another animal companion! Sunday night was
absolutely freezing cold. It was raining, we didn't have umbrellas at the time,
we were tracting, and life just honestly seemed temporarily miserable.. So I
said a prayer. There's a super great Mormon message titled 'Hope you know we
had a hard time'. So that was my inspiration for that prayer. I told God
'hope you know I'm having a rough night, please help me out'. Then he sent us a
cat! Almost immediately, in fact, the sweetest cat came up to us and wouldn't
leave our side the rest of the night. She was the cutest thing, entertaining us
by constantly trying to trip us. And just like the dog, people are a lot more
receptive with an animal. God knows me pretty well, and it's so comforting that
He cares about the smallest things in my life, too.
I'm loving my mission! Even the cold, rainy parts! Even the
'stuck inside all day because of the ice' parts! It's the best. God's hand is
in my life every single moment, and I couldn't be happier. I'm so looking
forward to the next 9 months. It's just me, The Lord, and Texas, and it
couldn't be any better.
I love y'all!
