Happy Fathers Day!!! :) did you get my
card? I was thinking about you all day yesterday. Grateful for you. We
went to the Hills for dinner last night and after we shared out message
we went around and told everyone things that we are thankful for about
our dads. I told them about how that one time when I had made that
mistake and had to go talk to the Wilson parents, before we went you
had us kneel down and say a prayer. I started bawling and told them how
thankful I was that you were so faithful in the gospel. You are such a
HUGE example to me! I love you. missin my daddy.
I didn't know that Dustin had surgery! Did he tare it? Aww so sad from
him. I haven't got much update on them. Stephy hasn't written me for a
while. her sickness doing better? she due in August? or September? oooo
so excited for her :)
Looks like you and kylee have a blast at work together :) I love seeing my family being so close. its awesome.
This
week was kind of uneventful as well. haha. we had interviews with
president. I just love that man. He is amazing. I hope you have the
chance to meet him one day! A kid in our ward invited us over to see him
open his mission call. I got all nervous for him. haha reminded me of
how I felt! he got called to Ogden Utah!! The family just laughed. Hes
gonna do great!
Saturday
night we went to see one of our less active members. She broke down
crying and told us that her and the boys had nothing to eat and that
they would have to move into a shelter. Oh my goodness :( i just was
crying and crying I cant believe what the people we work with are
dealing with. It is sooo heart breaking. we called the RS president to
have her help out. But that night me and Sister Nielsen didn't have a
dinner appointment so we drove to wal-mart and got some pancakes, eggs
and milk. brought it over and made them dinner. They boys were SOO happy
and she couldn't stop thanking us. it feels so good to do things like
that for other people. Its so hard because I wish there was more that we
could do! But we promised her that if she continued to be obedient to
the Lord that he would provide away.
This
week me and sister Neilsen had an amazing growing experience with one
another. Sister Nielsen has a beautiful heart. She knows that she is a
daughter of God and she is ready to do this work. My eyes were opened
and my heart was filled! She cried and told me how things are sometimes
it is hard but how she knew everything would be okay. She has GREAT
faith! And I know that I had put up a wall. I wasn't willing to see the
inner of my sweet companion. And now that I have, I will never be able
to look at anyone the same! We never know until we are willing to open
up and LOVE them. I'm so grateful for that experience. I love her with
all my heart.
Shana wasn't able to be baptized this weekend. We sat down and talked with our bishop for a while and thought it would be better to wait a little while longer. All though I know this is best for Shana it was hard to tell her that her baptism would be postponed. Everything will work out for the best though :)
