Dear Family,

Good to hear that you had a good time in D.C. Sounds like a cool place. Jealous that you went to Lava Hot Springs and the temple in Idaho. Glad things are going well. I honestly don't remember my Skype name...or password...So yeah. I will probably just call you guys and then we can set it up. I will probably call in the evening sometime, but we haven't found a family to Skype with yet...so we're in the process. But yeah. I look forward to talking to you again!! :) Should be exciting.

This week was crazy. We went to the capital building in downtown Lincoln. It was gorgeous! Dad would have really liked it. I took a lot of pictures but it just doesn't do it justice. It's so cool. Very rich in American history. So the capital  building is super tall and you ride these really skinny elevators to the top and then there is this dome with some rockin acoustics. So we sang hymns in the middle of the dome. It was so pretty. I got almost everything on video. I'm a big fan of video logging. I think it's hilarious. :) My SD card is getting full so I will probably be sending it home soon, you'll have fun going through the videos.

So once upon a time Sister McCauley felt impressed to go see this Less Active. I have no idea why. But he answered the door. And for 5 minutes he just yelled and yelled at us. He basically told us that we were wasting 18 months of our life and that we were only doing this because it was what we grew up with. All we could do was testify and walk away. When we walked away he slammed the door and just kept yelling that we weren't saved and that we just young and knew nothing. It was kind of the worst experience ever. I sat and balled in the car for a good half and hour. We went to a members house and watched mormon.org videos and cried. Ha we're so pathetic. But we were very hurt. I was more upset that he rejected the truth. He was a life long member and he's has just completely rejected Jesus Christ. Ah man. That was horrible. But our week got much better after that..:) We still don't understand why we felt impressed to go see this guy.

We had members come out with us this week. It was amazing. This work goes so much better with members. It's exhausting doing it alone. Ha. :) It's like the prophet keeps telling us this! Weird. :)

We also had exchanges this week. They went really well. Yeah it was a good week.

We were a half and hour late for church yesterday...there was a marathon and we got stuck in traffic. Between the Elders and the members in our ward we got teased constantly for being late. Yeesh! So the Elders stuck Oreos all over car in Friday night and when we got to our car in the morning it was 80 degrees so we Oreo goo EVERYWHERE. It was hilarious cleaning that up. Any ideas on how we can get them back?? We 're thinking toothpaste and tinfoil?

Oh favorite quote from district meeting this week. "Missionary Work: If you're not laughing, you're doing it wrong." This really is a happy work. And I love every moment. That's a lie I hate doing the area book, but all is well.

Anyway. I love you all! Thanks for you love and support. Keep praying for us!

Love, Sister Curfew
