Hey'all-
How are you all this week? I think I have a lot to catch you up on. The companion I got last week Sister Jakob had been having some health problems for over a year and went home to get them taken care of. They had to emergency transfer some sisters in with me until the end of this transfer. I got to spend the day with Sister Holm (the new mission president's wife) after my companion left for the airport and it was great. We ran a few errands and then she took me out to lunch. What they did is take Sister Wright and her companion Sister Namutebi from Augusta to come to Gilbert. So I am with Sister Wright again which is great! Sister Namutebi is from Uganda in Africa. She is a wonderful person and I hope to get to know her better. She is great and is very spiritual. She talks to everyone regardless if they can understand her or not. She speaks english great but just has a quiet voice. It is interesting working in a threesome I definitely have to speak up more but I am working on that. I promise to send pictures soon so you can see my hair better, My hair is definitely easier to fix and I am grateful for it in this weather. It takes a lot for me to go up and approach people and just start talking to them. It is something I am working on. We role play everyday to get practice in. Sister Wright had asked Sister McConkie when she was here and she said it was okay to wear sandals from April to October. I am not sure if that still applies but I stick to the shoes that I have. Sandals are uncomfortable if you are going to be doing a lot of walking. I do enjoy it when you send parts of blog posts. I am sure it is okay that I look at them. It helps me to stay up to date with the family. The pictures you sent with this email didn't come so if you could try and send them again I would appreciate that. We have been working hard this week in our new companionship. It is a bit more crowded in the trailer but we have a lot of fun together. It was really hot this past week and people thought we were crazy for being out in the weather. It reached 103 degrees but we had plenty of water and gatorade with us. Our recent convert Karen Lanz is planning a birthday party for me on Saturday and has invited the whole ward. It should be a great day! Her daughter went to youth conference this past week and had a wonderful experience. She is going to girl's camp this week and we know she will have a great time there. She was going to be baptized on my birthday but she arrives home from camp that day so we are pushing off until the 6th. She is doing well in the church already and has made some wonderful friends. She got a personal progress book yesterday and is excited to get started. Two of my recent converts got temple recommends yesterday so they are making progress towards the temple. That make me happy! Thanks for the package this week you know me well. Thank you so much. I feel so lucky to have a wonderful supportive family. Everytime I receive mail it is from a loving family member. I enjoy hearing all about what is happening in your life. I hope it is alright that I gave the newlywed converts your number. They could tell you all about me. We are going to be emailing earlier now at about 10:30am EST so you should see an email at around 8:30 or 9 your time. I hope you all have a wonderful week! Tell Tim and Nickie congratulations on their wedding and they chose a good day to married (my birthday!!!!). Next time I write to you I will be 24 years old which sounds so old. Anyways I have got to be going! I love you all so much!
Love, Katelyn
