Kate's an angel!

Hey'all,
I hope you have all had a great week! Sorry the letter was a little shorter last week. We got back late from golfing and had to get out by 6pm. I will try to type faster so I can say more. First and foremost we had a baptism on Saturday!!! Yeah we were so excited!! Joe Spires II was baptized. He was interviewed on Thursday and then baptized. We had to set the time 3 different times because of conflicting things. He is the last one in his family to be baptized and in 1 year he can go to the temple with his family. I will still be out in the mission field so I should be able to come back and be a part of it. I am so excited and happy to be a missionary and watch people change their lives. We contacted this lady named Karen who is 50 years old a little while ago who was semi interested in talking with us. We stopped by another time and found out she had just lost her job and was pretty upset. We talked with her again and gave her a Book of Mormon with a list of comforting scriptures to read. She calls us her angels which is cute. She came to church on Sunday and brought her mom with her. She had read all of the scriptures we had left with her and couldn't wait to read more. We are going to meet with her tonight and will teach her a first lesson and commit her to baptism. She is a great lady and will probably be baptized. We need to have a word of wisdom and law of chasity lesson soon since we know she has some issues with those. It is a miracle the difference the gospel has made in her life so far. Another girl we are working with named Jess is doing great. We had a word of wisdom lesson with her and she has already stopped her coffee addiction. She has been to church twice and has loved it both times. We are working with her husband who is okay with her going but hasn't had any interest yet to come. Actually it is a common law marriage which technically is not being married. We need to get them married before she can get baptized. I am sure she will be baptized I am just not sure how soon. We met this other girl named Mary who is 22 years old and lives at home, and is working towards being a CNA and works a lot. We have taught her a first lesson and gave her a Book of Mormon. She was going to come to church but was tired from working all night to come. She did text us though and said she did start reading the Book of Mormon so we are happy she is making some progress. My companion came up with an idea to help me with my eye contact. We started having staring contests with each other and that is pretty hard. Also when we are knocking doors I try to have one with each person. It is not my favorite thing to do but I think it will help. I am excited for you to head out to Kansas that will be fun. You will have to go to the Nifty Nut house it is a great place. What are you guys going to do while you are there? I wanted to share with you my missionary humor. We were helping build a shelf for an investigator which was pretty easy to do. We got the bottom off and I said that "we have a good foundation" my companion thought t that was pretty funny. You know me I laugh at my own jokes. Well, I hope all is going well there at home. Continue the missionary work and the Lord will bless you. Have a great week and I will write again soon. Happy Father's day dad! A card will soon be arriving there this week. Thank you for your continued love and support. Love, Katelyn
