P-Day Basketball!!

Hello Everyone,

It didn't snow at all up here this week, thank goodness. I rode my bike for the first time last week in almost 8 months!  However, we didn't really bike like we were going to because Sister Blackwell's bike had flat tires. Also, she was having a hard week. But we walked some and I am adamant about riding my bike this week!!

Last Monday Sister Blackwell and I played basketball with all the elders in our zone and it was SO much fun. They were all surprised about how well I can play basketball!  I loved seeing all of their surprised faces. ( :-o )  I miss playing basketball ~ I miss playing tennis ~ I miss playing sports!

Well not a whole lot happened this week. We had interviews on Tuesday with our Mission President and his wife. I know every missionary says this, but it is true in my case. I have the BEST mission president ever!

This week we found out that Ana might already be a member so we are looking up her records to see if she was baptized. Also Cori and Korielle are doing amazing! They have quit drinking coffee and tea and we only taught the word of wisdom to them last week. They were so tempted to drink that stuff but they did not succumb to those desires. I love them so much! They keep telling us that we are the nicest people they have ever met. Also they LOVE the chocolate chip cookies I make them. I have decided that part of their wedding present will be giving Korielle that cookie recipe. They are praying about their baptismal day for the 2nd of April! I am so excited for them. Every night they are saying family prayers with their 3 and 1 year old. They want to get baptized and they are so ready as well! The Lord has people prepared all over the world but it is up to us as members to find them and bring them unto Christ.

We are not teaching anybody new. We are working on that. But we are also working on getting our two wards up and functioning again. So many callings have yet to be filled and one of the wards doesn't even have  a ward mission leader.... SO ya life is crazy here but very fun! I love the local leaders here. I don't want to leave but I feel that after this transfer I will be leaving and going somewhere else! Sad day....  :-(

But this Sunday we have 5 hours of church and we have 2 ward council meetings..... All I can say is that it will be VERY righteous!  Well I love you all and I miss all of you! Oh and my recent convert, Brittany Harrison, she is doing amazing! She is strong and active! I heard from her today!

Toodaloo!
