She's a real little missionary!

H'yall Happy Memorial day!! That is too bad the weather is being silly. It is nice and hot here today maybe you should all come out (just kidding)! The day has been nice so far and busy. We got a call from the mission office stating that they wanted us to clean out our car and bring it in. We went over to the neighbors and used their things to clean the car really nice inside and out. They cooked up some steaks and other stuff and we had a bbq for lunch. They are such great neighbors and are willing to do anything to help us out. We hardly ever leave a members home without them giving us some food item. They are the best! We went to the mission office and got our brand new car that is red! We love it so much already! We got to talk to President McConkie for awhile which was nice. We got invited over to the bishop's house for a bbq tonight so we are excited for that! Our district is just us and a pair of elders. One of them is the district leader and is great. We have district development meeting every Tuesday 11 at the church. There are three wards in our building and the elders take care of two and we the other one. We see them on Sundays and Tuesdays. Our zone leaders are both wonderful they are such great elders. They both work really hard so we can have a good zone. I have not met any of the other elders that are in our zone yet but I will at zone conference. We had a fireside yesterday where President McConkie spoke and it was wonderful. My companion sang a solo and did a great job. We had made fliers for it to invite everyone to it but nobody came except for two recent converts. We had a new convert move into our ward recently and he is awesome. He is from here but was living in Hawaii when he was baptized in March. We went over to his parents house this week and had dinner with them and they are the nicest people in the world. They live right by the lake and have a beautiful home. You will have to come see their place some day it was great. Brother Hensley is the new convert and his parents are not members so we will be working with them. We visited a recent media referral that we had gotten. We hadn't been able to meet with him before and almost did not get to this time. We were pulling away after knocking on the door and he came out from his backyard and asked who we were. We briefly met with him and shared a message on the plan of salvation. He asked if he could have a Book of Mormon so we gave him one and set up an appointment for later this week. We are so excited! While contacting yesterday we met this lady named Mary who is great and was interested in what we had to say. We also gave her a Book of Mormon and will meet with her this week. Our baptism is postponed again probably to the 11th. He has to keep going out of town to deal with some family problems.We are not worried about him though we know he will be baptized. We have this investigator named Shannon Mercer who we met awhile ago and had a wonderful plan of salvation lesson this week. He has a lot of property and has done a lot with it. He has a beautiful garden and we walk in it every time we go. He also takes pictures for a living which is pretty cool. I am glad seminary graduation went well for riley. I am so glad you had a missionary experience this week mom!! Keep those up! I know the missionaries in California will be happy to meet them. I really did go golfing last week and would have gone again except it was a holiday. I had so much fun out there putting the ball and driving the cart! They do have a lot of golf courses here so I guess it is popular especially in Mertyle Beach. I did here about the stake center being destroyed in Missouri. The bishop's wife showed us some pictures of it. That is sad when things like that happens. We heard about people getting sucked out of homes and vehicles which is so devastating. When Sister Riley takes us out she does pay for our meals which is so sweet of her. She is out of town in Utah for awhile so we will have to wait for her to come back. Well how do you feel having your last child graduate from high school this week? I am sure that feels pretty strange. It is cool that all six of us graduated from the same high school. I got his announcement this week and I was so excited and put it up on the fridge. I also got one from Scott so they are both up there. Cute pictures. Riley you are a really handsome brother. Me and my companion spoke in church yesterday and I was not as prepared as I would have liked to be but it was okay. We only had five minutes each anyways. I spoke on always being a member missionary throughout your life. It was an ensign article from September of 2008 by Elder Cook you should read it. Anyways it is time for me to go so y'all have a great week! Matt- Happy Birthday tomorrow! Good luck with graduation! I love y'all so much! I have the best family in the world! Always strive to find opportunities to share the gospel and plant those seeds in people for future missionaries. Love, Katelyn
