Dear family,

This week was good. :) The weeks just keep going by faster and faster. But yeah. We got to go to the temple!!! Wooo!!!! I love serving close enough to a temple! :) :) And I saw the newest video! It was even better than the other new video! Have you seen it? Oh my goodness when the movie was over I was like can we just restart it and watch it again?? So good. :) But yeah. It was a little awkward though because we rode up with 12 other Elders because the other Sisters were riding with members. So...they stuck us up front in this giant transfer van...and the Elders were like should we talk to them or should we not talk to the Sisters...then the Zone Leaders are just weird so it was just a whole bunch of Awko Taco the whole ride up and down...Boys are weird. Especially missionary boys...Anyway.

We honestly just tracted streets all day this week...people in this area are not receptive at all.  But that's alright. We show the Lord our faith by working and He will give us people to teach. :)

We have been getting to know all the members by going to their house and just talking with them and being like hey how's the work of salvation going for you guys? And if they aren't doing anything we kindly teach them how. :) Unless they whine about it then I am not so kind... So we have been teaching members this week on how to better their missionary work. We're excited because general conference is one of the greatest missionary tools ever. It's a lot easier to invite someone over to watch a session of General Conference than it is for them to be invited to meet with the missionaries or to go to church. So hopefully we'll expose more people to our wonderful Prophet and his Apostles. :)

Sis Sommers and I have a little "bet". Not a real bet because we're missionaries. But we think President Monson will extend Sister missions to 2 years. :) haha. Get pumped. I'll extend. :)

Oh we also had our first team up in the ward with the Relief Society president. She was hilarious and so much fun! Whenever she made a wrong turn...and she has lived in Lincoln most of her life she would say "Oh fiddlesticks" in this cute older lady kind of way. SO FUNNY! :)

I am doing well. Although we didn't have much success this week. I am happy. I love being here. I love the sun. I love doing the Lord's work. I am SUPER EXCITED for General Conference. I have a really great and loving companion. :) Couldn't be any better. :)

I hope ya'll have a great week.

Love ya,

Sister Curfew
