Hello all,
I am so glad the wedding went well! Allison- you looked so pretty from the pictures mom sent me. I couldn't be happier for you! Riley Wilson- I just wanted to say welcome to the family! I remembered you all day knowing that it was a special day for you. I told my companion about copsicus so we celebrated that! She made us some German pancakes and they were so good.Gilbert is just wonderful I love it a lot. We see so many animals on a daily basis. One time I kept track and I counted 15 different animals/insects. We see a lot of lizards too. Most of the time we run into some really nice people and every once in a while we don't. We had a lady open the door and then shut it in our face and all we did was laugh after because she didn't even give us a chance. I have not ridden the bike any this week. I am not sure why it is so sandy but I think it used to be riverbend or something. Anyways it makes it impossible to ride on a bike. There are a few residential areas that we try to go to but they are not close. I have not seen any hiibillies yet. The mobile home is so awesome I love it so much. I am glad you enjoyed the pictures I sent you. I wanted to reassure you that it was better than what you thought. We don't spend much time there as we are gone the entire day. We taught a lesson this week to this lady named Vickie who I told you about last week. The lesson went very well and I could feel the spirit so strong there. She said she and her husband would like to come to church but were nervous to do so. We took them on what they call a church tour on Saturday. We showed them everything in the building and explained everything. I told the First Vision which I finally had memorized. The spirit was once again with us there and they said they would come to church the next day. We had invited a few other investigators to come to church but nobody came and we were disappointed as it was the second week with no investigators there. We called Vickie and her husband and found out that they had slept in. So, next week they will be getting a wake up call. Of all weeks to sleep in and miss they missed Easter. Me and my companion sang in the ward choir as they needed more voices. We had some training this week in Columbia and I got to see my district from the MTC and all of their companions. It was really cool and the other sisters got to spend the night in our place. President McConkie is an amazing man. I really enjoy listening to everything he has to say. You know how much I hate role playing... well we had to do more while we were there. You also know that I struggle with eye contact. We were role playing with the other sisters and I had a hard time because of the stupid eye contact. I want so badly to look people in the eye but just can't do it all the time. I also struggle with my confidenceen when we practice teaching. I know what I want to say but just can't seem to be confident when we do that. Well, I know the Lord will help me out with the things that I am struggling with. He knows I am trying my best and He knows how hard it was for me to get out here on a mission. I am doing a lot better with my proselyting skills. The other day it was so hot and we were climbing up and down this long hill. We just laughed because it was so hot and we were still serving the Lord. When we were done we went to the gas station and got drinks. Easter was really good. We drove past a Catholic church and the parking lot was overflowing with cars which is not like it normally is. It just goes to show that they only go on holidays! Me and Sister Wright just laughed when we saw that. A nice couple had us over for dinner and it was so good. We practiced teaching them a lesson and it was a little rough. With more practice we will get better. Mom, I got the Easter package you sent to me. Thank you so much- it was so sweet. I loved how you put the candy in the eggs just like I like. Thank you Matt, Stacy and Graham for the package you sent. My companion was wondering if she could get the reciepe for the chocolate chip cookies. We both enjoyed them so much. I also enjoyed the pictures of Graham! Brad, Mandy, Jane and Annie thank you so much for the package and letters you sent. I especially loved your pictures! In a letter from Matt he said he got a detailed explanation of Brad's wedding so I would like one of Allison's. I want you mto give me every detail and also send me some more pictures when you can. Thank you all so much for all of your love and support. I am so grateful for a nice supportive family. I can't wait to talk to you on Mother's day! I will let you know the details of that later. We have this nice lady named Sister Riley who lives next door and she's so nice but very talkative. She takes us out on our P-day to lunch and then drives us to the library and then to the store so we can do our shopping. We went to this place today called Zaxby's and they have the best chicken around. I got a milkshake that tasted like cake batter which you know is my favorite kind! Thanks again for all that you do for me. I love you all so much! Love, Katelyn
