I THINK THAT I'M GOING TO WRITE IN CAPS, BECAUSE THEN I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CAPITALIZING THINGS... ;) IT SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE FINALLY LIGHTENING UP AT HOME... I'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU SO HARD!! I JUST HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING MYSELF THAT WHATEVER HAPPENS (AS LONG AS WE ARE TRYING TO BE RIGHTEOUS) THE LORD IS IN IT AND IT IS HIS WILL!! THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING!!
TUESDAY – WE HAD JANNA AND TOM'S BAPTISM INTERVIEW AND IT WENT SO WELL!! SIS. ALLRED AND I WERE VISITING WITH ELDER MILLER (THE ZONE LEADER) AND WHEN HE FIRST WALKED UP TO ME HE SHOWED ME A BOOK THAT HE AND ELDER LYSENKO HAD BORROWED FROM THE INSTITUTE!! IT WAS THE EXACT SAME CLASSICAL BOOK THAT I HAVE AT HOME!! SO I GAVE AN IMPROMPTU RECITAL AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO BE ABLE TO PLAY MUSIC OTHER THAN THE HYMNS AGAIN (ON A RANDOM NOTE, I JUST WROTE HUMMS... HA HA... HYMNS AND HUMMS!!) ELDER MILLER SAID THAT IT LOOKS LIKED MY HANDS WERE SPIDERS AND THEN HE STARTED RATING THE SONGS “OH, THAT WAS A 5 SPIDER SONG!” OR “NO THAT WASN'T TOO AMAZING, IT WAS ONLY A 3 SPIDER SONG” IT WAS GREAT FUN, AND I HAD A VERY CAPTIVE AUDIENCE!!
WEDNESDAY – WE GOT HAIRCUTS!! WE ALSO HAD AN AMAZING LESSON WITH JANNA AND TOM AND THEIR FRIENDS. KAREN'S HUSBAND CAME AND HE SEEMS GOLDEN!! I'M GOING TO MISS THEM!! I'M SURE THAT THEY'LL GET BAPTIZED SOON!!!
THURSDAY – I MADE A MILLION PHONE CALLS TO FIND A RIDE TO NEW CASTLE!! I WAS SO WORRIED THAT WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIND A RIDE... I THOUGHT IT WAS A HOPELESS CAUSE, BUT WE FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE!! I HAD TO PAY FOR GAS THOUGH, BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!
FRIDAY – WE VISITED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE, AND THEN SPENT 5 HOURS ON THE ROAD!! IT WAS SO WORTH IT THOUGH!!! ASHLEY WAS SO EXCITED AND SHE SAID THAT SHE FELT LIKE A NEW PERSON!!! I ACTUALLY SANG AT THE BAPTISM, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS GOING TO UNTIL I GOT THERE... A LITTLE BIT OF MISCOMMUNICATION!!!
SATURDAY – CONFERENCE!! IT WAS SO AMAZING AND I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT WHAT I LOVED AND LIKED ABOUT IT... I definitely CAME OUT A BETTER PERSON MORE COMMITTED TO FOLLOWING CHRIST! AND I EXCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE MOM!!! I ALMOST GOT THE ENSIGN READ BEFORE CONFERENCE... I JUST NEEDED TO READ ABOUT 10 MORE!!
SUNDAY WAS EQUALLY AMAZING! WE BELONG TO THE BEST CHURCH!!!!!!!!!
MONDAY WE HAD AN AMAZING DINNER WITH SOME HAWAIIAN MEMBERS... IT WAS so GOOD... THANK GOODNESS I'M NOT SERVING ON AN ISLAND... I'D COME BACK A MILLION POUNDS!!!!
SORRY THIS EMAIL IS SO SHORT... IT WAS A GREAT WEEK AND I'M SURE THAT THIS WEEK WILL BE EVEN BETTER!! WHITE RIVER IS GOING TO BE A GREAT AREA!! I'LL LIVE 1 MILE AWAY FROM THE RACE TRACK!! THIS WEEK I'VE LEARNED THAT I REALLY JUST NEED TO TRUST IN HEAVENLY FATHER... HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING... I'M SURE I'LL CONTINUE TO LEARN THAT LESSON OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
LOVE,
SIS. ALEX
Pictures for the week
#1 - SUNDAY - this is what I did during conference break!!! Janna and I organized the spoon drawer... the other drawers were already organized, so we decided to finish the drawers.
#2 SATURDAY - Sis. Allred and I during break again. The bag that she's holding is the best bread in the world. We went to lunch there and it was beyond good!! They use all natural and some organic ingredients (just thought you'd want to know!).
#3 ASHLEY'S BAPTISM!!!!!!! Isn't she cute??
#4 My new haircut!! Sis. Allred got about 9 inches chopped off, but I just got a trim and bangs. You can't really tell from this picture but there are a lot more than that!! The girl who cut my hair also straightened it, it looks a LOT different doesn't it!!
