Dear Family,
Glad to hear
everyone is doing well. Oh my goodness there is a TON of change going on
in Morgan. They closed Steph's down?? Where am I going to get my
grasshopper shakes? Oh man. We have a Pretzel Maker? Soon enough our
little town will be huge. Why can't they have something cool like a
movie theater or a swimming pool? Ha oh well. Sounds like you had a cool
Stake Broadcast. I am kind of upset I will miss the Ogden Temple
dedication open house thing. But I'm excited for it to be opened again.
It's so funny that we complained about having that temple closed. And
here the nearest temple is like 50 miles away. We are so spoiled in
Utah.
But this week was really good. :) Sister McCauley got strep
throat though and we were stuck in for 3 days. That was not fun...I got
so stir crazy I made her sit on the stairs of our apartment while I ran
back and forth on the street. I don't do well being cooped up. Then
again I don't think anyone does.
I also had interviews with my mission president. No fear. All is well.
He almost made me cry. He told me that I have grown a lot and that it's
one of the most incredible changes he's ever seen. Which was super nice.
But now I'm like was I weird when I first got here?? But I"m sure
that's not what he meant. haha :)
We also had a lot of miracles happen this week. One we had a
member up and buy us bikes. They were used bikes but still. We had been
praying for bikes because they're evil when it comes to miles. Speaking
of miles we had a cool experience with that as well. So we were driving
our car to get it inspected and it was farther away then we had
expected. So we get the car back and we have 3 miles left of our
allotment. If we got over one mile then I get my driving privileges
taken away. Sister McCauley had already gotten hers taken away because
she went over 17 miles last transfer. We get them taken away for 2
transfers. So we were kind of freaking out a bit. So we prayed. We
thought of a member who was close by. She lived exactly 3 miles away. So
we get to her house and sure enough we made it without going over one
mile. Then that member preceded to take us out to lunch and she brought a
Less Active young lady with her. Members here are so amazing. They
always go above and beyond what we ask them to do. We just asked for a
ride home and we got lunch and we were able to teach a lesson. So great.
One of my favorite quotes is "Only the first mile is required." Just a
reminder to make sure to go the second mile when it comes to serving the
Lord. :)
Anyway. So we rode bikes the rest of the week. Now I notice the rolling hills of Nebraska...
Also
my bum really really hurts. But it's all good. We had to ride our bikes
to go pick up our car and it took us 4 hours to get there. One because
our area is huge. Two because the wind was blowing so hard in our faces
the whole time. So that was irritating. Three we may or may not have
read the map wrong. But whatevs. We both were pretty patient we didn't
even get upset. I was impressed with us. We were crazy tired, but we
made it! Riding a bike in a skirt is...weird. But not horrible.
But yeah we had a great week. :) We're trying our hardest to find
people to teach but for now we teach the members and find all of the
lost sheep. :) Love you all!
Love, Sister Curfew
