Katelyn the "greatlyn"

Hey'all,
How are y'all doing this week?(ha ha) I knew you would never forget to write me! I so look forward to your emails every week. I love hearing about home. I have been trying to learn "Southern" but it has not caught on yet. Anyways, I had a great week! The person we had on date to be baptized on May 14th is having to put it off until the 28th. We had no idea he had a smoking and drinking tea problem but he said it would be easy to stop. He said he doesn't smoke much but it might be harder to stop drinking tea. We look forward to the baptism on May 28th and we know he will be ready by then. We have been meeting with this girl who is named Jessica. She is the girlfriend of a recent convert. We met with her on Saturday and I put her on date for baptism for June 11! I was so excited as it was my first time doing so! She committed to come to church the next day and she was really looking forward to it. She was telling her sister about it and she brought over some anti-mormon material. She read it and it made her feel horrible. She still made it to church and we answered any questions she might have and plan to meet with her later this week. We know and she knows how great the church will feel in her life. Satan is definitely working hard on her so she needs to continue to study and pray. We had a special missionary fast and testimony meeting yesterday. It was 3 different zones missionary's testimonies. I am really glad I got to participate in it. My companion and some elders sang a musical number and it was really great. I haven't received my journal yet but I am sure I will get it soon. It could be stuck at the mission office or something who knows. I have paper to write on when I run out of pages. Thank you for sending it! You didn't tell me about the cute mail unit you did at school, but it sounds like fun! I know I enjoy getting pictures from Jane and Annie. They make me proud to be their aunt! I can't read blogs so if you ever want to copy and paste things from it I wouldn't mind! I enjoyed reading the one you sent to me. It made me laugh it was so cute. A member of the relief society presidency came up to me this week and told me something cool that she came across. She was looking on a friend's blog and saw that one of the blogs that they follow is Brad and Mandy's. She saw the last name and knew I had to be related. She said she looked at it and commented and told about me. I think you should all look at it if you have not. The connections you make when you are away from home- I love it! We go over to their house every once in awhile when we are in the neighborhood so we can use the restroom. The problem with living in the country is that there are not very many opportunities to use the restroom. Whenver we are out we have to remember where a member lives so we can go over there. Riley... good job on winning in the state tournament I am very proud. I heard your comment about the three pack being as strong as ever. I hope graduation goes well! Send me pictures and I will give them to all of the cute girls here in the south. The name Belinda doesn't sound familar. I hope you get the job though. Good luck and work hard. Kelli congratulations on your new calling! I am so happy for you and I know you will do a great job. Have fun with it! Thanks for the letter it was great! You are such a wonderful example to me. Anything new with Matt, Stacy and Graham? Brad and his family wrote me this week and told me that they find out tomorrow what they will be having. I am so excited. Let me know as soon as you know. Although I won't be able to read the email until next week. Allison, hope all is going well with you. Thank you for the emails I really appreciate them. A service opportunity you could do is to write your testimony in the Book of Mormon and sending them to missionaries just like me. I will think on more and get back to you. Mom you asked a question last week and I totally forgot to answer it and remembered later. You asked if I gotten any sun and I most definitely have. My face, arms, and legs are very tan. I have a cool tan line on my feet from my shoes. The weather is hot already and it is still May. We are in for a long hot and humid summer. We will probably just melt from the heat. We will stay cool by drinking lots of water and putting on sunscreen so don't worry. I will send you picutres soon. Well, my time is running out so I will have to say good-bye. Thank you for your prayers and support. I love knowing that my family loves and cares about me. Thank y'all for the wonderful examples you are to me. I love y'all so much. Love, Katelyn
