Blessings... 11-12-13

Happy Veterans Day everyone!

That's why I didn't email yesterday...

Anyways, How is everyone doing? This missionary is doing mighty fine! This week was really good. Remember how we were struggling with our numbers last week because our area is brand new? This week, we hit the standards of excellence (20 lessons and 140 contacts in a week) and then some! We are working hard and the Lord is blessing us!

I love my area more and more every day and Sister Bassett and I are still best friends. Like really, we're probably too good of friends ( :

We had an adventure this Sunday! So basically, Sister Bassett and I had been feeling sick since this transfer began and Sunday was the climax of it. We woke up and didn't even feel well enough to get ready for the day. So we prayed about it and decided that we needed sleep. We missed not one, not two, but three wards. We missed all of church. We felt terrible that we missed church, but we felt better because we had gotten a lot of rest. The whole rest of the day, we worked really hard. We dropped in on less-actives for 5 hours! And we did a lot of contacting. And all this time we were fasting. It's amazing how the Lord lifts us at our weakest moments.  So that was an adventure. We promised each other that we would never miss church again! haha!

The work is going well here. We are finding a lot of success and everyone is so excited to have sisters!

We've been doing a lot with music recently; Sister Bassett is an expert song-writer, so right now, we're working on putting the lessons to songs. It's going to be so cool when we can figure it out! We'll have to send a video or something! People here absolutely love the ukulele! It really is a great missionary tool!

Well, anyways, things are going really well and I'm loving every moment of my mission.

Oh, and by the way, TODAY is my 5 month mark! It's just flying by!

Love you all!
