She's our southern gal!

Hey'all-
It was so great to be able to talk to everyone yesterday! It was the highlight of my day. Everyone sounded just the same so that made me happy. After we talked we went over to dinner at a member's house. It was really nice to have dinner with more people. It is usually just my companion and I sitting at the table by ourselves. We usually don't eat dinner until about 8:30 each night anyways. If we do it earlier it takes away from our proselyting time. Also more people are home at dinner time anyways so we can get more contacts. Dinner was so delicious! There was a lot of good food and I enjoyed it. Another lady and her husband came for dinner and brought the most delicious banana cake ever! Once I get the receipe I will send you a copy so you can make it. Apparently she makes a really good pumpkin cake just like yours that is famous and I can't wait to try. Dinner went a little long, but a new convert and his son were there and we gave a short message about faith. My poetry skills are coming in handy again. We wanted to do something special for our 2 "other " moms for mother's day. Sister Wright is an artist so she drew them a bouqet of flowers and I wrote them each a poem. All I have to say is that I got that talent from you. They were not home last night so we gave Sister Riley her poem this morning and she loved it so much. She told us that she was going to have it framed as it touched her so much. It made us happy that we were able to make her happy. We didn't have time to go out proselyting last night as we had to do comapnionship study. While I am being trained we have to do 2 hours of comanionship study everyday so it is a lot of fun. We had a great week this past week and remained optimistic and positive that miracles would happen. We were able to accomplish or come close to accomplishing all of our goals. I am continuing to learn so much each day about being an effective and obedient missionary.
When do Brad and Mandy find out what they are having? I hope it is soon! It is great that they got a new car so they can fit another car seat in it. When does Riley graduate? Are you going to have graduation party with the cousins since they are graduating? Allison, my companion wanted me to ask you if you would remember these people -Teisha Haskel or Courtney Calder. They were her roomates for a little while and then moved over to the front where you were. She can't remember the Bishop's name but if you said it, he would come to her. Do you remember it? I love how we all lived there at the same time and didn't know it. Thank you so much for telling me all about the wedding and the honeymoon I really enjoyed it. I got teary eyed but I did not cry while reading it. ;) I am so glad everything went well and that you had a nice time on your honeymoon. Did you get anything cool wedding gifts? Save something good for me! Dad- how was the rest of your birthday? What did you have for dinner? I missed having the ice cream cake with y'all. What did you get for your birthday? I am sure you had a great day and I was so glad I got to talk to you on your birthday! Mom- what did you get for mother's day? Did the primary sing in Sacrament meeting? Our's did and it was so cute. We got to go to Primary yesterday as they had something to give us. They had saved up their pennies so they could buy a Book of Mormon that we could give to someone. It was pretty cute! We stayed in there and got to sing songs with the kids. There was something else I wanted to tell you while we were on the phone yesterday. Happy Anniversary!!!! I believe this marks 31 years!! I am so glad I have faithful loving parents like you guys. So many people are missing that in thier lifes. You are the best people I know! I am so happy that we can be together forever! Anyways have a great anniversary tomorrow! I love y'all so much! Thank you for your continued love and support. Have a great week! I am fixin' to go soon so y'all have a great day! Love, Katelyn ( I hope you enjoyed the new Southern phrases that I have learned so far. It really is like a foriegn language sometimes!)
