Week 9: Visions.....

HELLO!!

This week has been nothing short of amazing.  First of all I just want to say I am sooo sorry i have been horrible at writing!  Things have just been crazy.  BUT I'm back..so is the work.  So..plan on hearing from me.. :)  aaaand.. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the letters, the packages, and the love. It really means so much.  It has truly helped!  If only you could all just stay here with me..things would be perfect.  So things in Skyline have been pretty slow..so Sister Larson and I decided to do a SERIOUS 24 hour fast.  The miracles are STILL being thrown our way.  There is so much power in fasting and prayer.  We are teaching a new girl..and shes DARLING.  She reminds me soo much of Kimi. Sara, the girl that was just baptized..her mother came to church with her this week!  TWO of our recent converts have decided to go missions...and we are having great success with our less actives!  Things are so good!  Transfers are next week!  I can't believe it!!!  I've already been out 2 months!  CRAZY!!!  (my p day will be Wednesday next week...fyi)

So.. cool things that have happened this week...

1. Uncle Fred.  He is one of the Senior Couples here.. and he is HILARIOUS!  He is old and walks slow..and is pretty fragile.. and he thinks its funny to pretend falling.. and well.. I guess it is funny. /absolutely terrifying. he just laughs.

2. I thought I lost my scriptures at the Library last week..and cried by brains out.  I begged Sis Larsen to take me back the next day..and they were THERE!!!  so... false alarm.  My scriptures are back!  woohoo!

3. We got lost. Around a lake.  Don't ask me how that happens... its round. I know this..but neither of us had our glasses on..and there were all these forks on the trail!!  and it started getting dark!  I kept seeing fireflies in the dark bushes and there were huge trees everywhere..no civilization to be seen...and it made me think of Harry Potter.. and I started freaking myself out.. and then a HUGE deer jump in front of us!! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!!  but i guess its funny now.. sort of.

4. I have been having visions. of cinnamon rolls. for like 3 days.  i smell them everywhere i go.  this is NOT a hint to send me some.. heaven knows that is NOT what i need.. :)  THANKS for the healthy treats though!!  I LOVED THEM!! 

5. I always thought I was patient...until I started taking tours with children. Oh. My. GOSH!!  I can't do kids. It's bad news. Sorry mom and dad...... :) 

Ok.. I think this is long enough..Just remember...you get blessings for writing missionaries... you know who you are...  :)

Love you all so so so much! 

Give em' Heaven..
