Heroes!

An amazing hero of mine is Stephanie Neilson.

Watch the video the hear her story. She is an inspiration. She is an example that you can experience a most terrible tragedy and survive. She not only survives, but she has triumphed! She shares her feelings, struggles, life, and family with the world on her blog. You can read it here!

I am so thankful to have NieNie as a Hero!

Oh……. hi……

Ya know I am just doing fabulous. It’s been a really great week and life and mission life are just flying by so fast. Stop the world I wanna get off! Hahaha just kidding.

So. I am glad to hear that all is going well for you my cute fam. And Stake Conference sounded bomb.com! I really miss the temple, that is something I will never take for granted. The nearest one to here is the Dominican Republic or Venezuela. In August they’ll be going to the one in the DR!

Tell Sar Bear I say I am very proud of she and know she is going to do wonderful and Er bear too 🙂 I love they bad.

Tell Gramps that I love him and Happy Birthday 🙂

Awwwww that is fun to hear about Fam Hist and all those things.. (note to self don’t shorten hist)

Ok so. This week we did a few more puppet shows…. Prolly my last ones 🙁 I slyly told them that if super brain (my puppet friend) disappears, it’s because I couldn’t part with him so I took him to my next island 😉

Also this week our people we are teaching have been struggling pretty bad. Between Anti-Mormon sites online and other things….

We are doing our best to help them through it all.

Brother R. though is doing SO well. He has been coming to church and he loves it. He feels the spirit very strong. Also he may or may not choose to move his baptismal date to this Sunday!!! So then he will be baptized potentially my last Sunday. I keep saying potentially because there is still a small chance the Lord will decide to leave me here in this area. We get transfer calls on Friday or Saturday so in a few days…….. AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (girl scream)

We went on exchange this week and it was fun I am starting to get a little ill. Just a small cold. Also  we went and forked Bro. B.’s garden 🙂 It was fun. He calls me a “mad forker” Hahaha. Cool.

Ok so………… are you prepared for the funny story of the week??

FUNNY/COOL STORY OF THE WEEK: Alright on Saturday we were at Brother R.’s house and we had just started the lesson. (side note he has this computer right next to where we have our lessons) So he was telling us “SISTERS! I THINK I GOT MY ANSWER!” So we were like alright what happened?? (Another side note, he told us he gets answers in unique ways like through things he hears on the radio or random videos) “this is how God speaks to me” So all of the sudden he pulls up a video on the screen…. And at the top it says *drum roll please* Saturday Night Live……………. And I am thinking oh my gracious sakes this is disastrous… So he starts playing this video and Sis. H. and I are like we are not even supposed to be watching this… So it was a skit of SNL and there is man dressed up as Jesus and he is with this football team (it may or may not have been the Broncos) And this man is just being a very sacrilegious Jesus and then right when the video is about to end he was like “alright team I have to catch this cloud but before I go I have to tell you one thing…….. “Mormonism it’s the truth…!!!!!” And right there at that moment it took everything within myself not to laugh. But I mean hey if that helped him to get his answer… WHY NOT?!?  It was great though. SO he is still doing great 🙂

Love you mom!

Anyway to one and all I love you! I hope everyone has a blessed week and keeps being wonderful.

Read your scriptures, say fervent prayers and all that good stuff.

Love, love, love, Sister Emily!
