Hello all,
I am doing great! This week flew by so fast as we were working so hard. It takes a lot of time and energy to be a missionary but I love it so much! Thank you for your advice (referring to role playing). I will take it to heart! It is hard sometimes not to get a little emotional when things are hard but I am putting the difficult things aside. You know how sometimes I would get emotional when we would talk or role play and it would get me out of it or avoid it. My companion gave me some advice and that is to just say you like it and just do it. I can't avoid role playing we do it everyday. I think Satan is trying to tell me I can't do this but I can. I just need to put my trust in the Lord and not myself and just do it. I know when I put my trust in the Lord He will help me to have confidence in what I am saying. Enough of that stuff, I wanted to talk about the call on Sunday. I am so excited to call you guys! All I really know is that we can call anytime on Sunday and we can talk for 40 minutes. We do have a cell phone but don't get the best service where we live so we might go to a member's house but I am not sure. I imagine I will call sometime after we get out of church. We have chuch from 9-12 the same as you guys do. My guess would be sometime between 12:15 and 12:30 MST. I am not sure if I will get to call on Saturday night to let you know an exact time for Sunday. My best advice is just to keep your cell phone with you and I will try to call you around that time.That storm that came through didn't touch South and North Carolina at all. We have not had any tornado training at all but the Relief Society is making me a 72 hour kit. We had a big rainstorm the other day that was pretty cool to watch. Jeff has written me one letter since I have been in South Carolina. That is the only letter I have recieved. I look forward to receiving your letter and pictures about the wedding!. We had an awesome miracle this week. We met this lady while out contacting the other day and had set up an appointment to meet with her but she later canceled as something came up. We were in the neighborhood a few days later and decided to see if she was home. We met with her and shared a lesson with her. She seemed very intersted in what we had to say. We invited her to come to church and gave her a Book of Mormon. She said she would come to church and would bring her sons. My companion asked her if would like to be baptized and she said yes and then asked if her sons could be baptized also! That is rare when you ask in a first lesson so we were very happy. We were so excited and said yes they could too! Her name is Zulema Jones and her sons are 9 and 10. She is black and has the most beautiful blue eyes. We also met her husband who was also intersted so we will teach them more this week. They didn't end up making it to church and we were sad but hopefully they will come next week. My brother Riley- I wanted to tell you that I gave away the Book of Mormon that you gave to me. I gave it to an investigator who we are working with. I told her who wrote in it and she thought that was pretty special. Please send more of those and encourage everyone to do the same. Those really are the best ones to give out. Mom, I was wondering if you could send me one of my journals that I left at home. I will be needing it soon. Also, I was wondering if I could get a picture of Bauer. I know that sounds strange but I would like to have a picture of him. I am glad you got the opportunity to relax after the wedding. Allison and Riley how was the honeymoon? I gave a good news minute in Relief Society and announced that my little sister got married. I was so excited to be able to do that! Did anyone watch the royal wedding? Well, I am down to my last few minutes so I should probably end. I look forward to talking to everyone on Sunday! I love you all and thank you for your continued love and support. I thank the Lord everyday for such a wonderful supportive family. I hope you have a great week. Talk to you soon!!! Love, Katelyn
