Dear Familiar Units,
We've had another baptism this past week. Her name is Samantha Chilton and she’s nine years old. Sister Larson, the Primary President (and the Ward Mission Leader's wife) asked Anna, her mom, if we could come and teach Samantha the lessons. We set a date with Samantha the first lesson we had with her, and when we were planning out her program she didn't care who did what, she just wanted to be baptized. (How cool is that?) She also wanted it to be as short as it could (again so she could be baptized. Sam might have ADHD, or ADD, but she is SMART! She read everything we gave her, she drew pictures of what she had read, she was just soaking everything up like a sponge.
We had one of our investigators, who we've been trying to get to come to church, come. She LOVED it! She wants to come back next week. Ah, the miracles we're seeing. here in Murray, KY (I wanted to say Dickson, TN, MY area). I cannot wait until she and her husband, Jay get baptized. That reminds me, Bill's year is almost here, he and Renee can get sealed! Oh what joy there is in doing missionary work!
I love all of you!
Second Email
I was excited that you are excited about getting a second companion. Tell us about Sister Koford—where she's from, how long she's been out, what's her first name?
Sister Koford is a new missionary she's been out for a transfer, so this is her second one. Sister Koford is also my little sister. She's from Riverton (or some city by SLC). Her first name is Katie, and if you want to make her some labels I think she would like it, maybe for Christmas?
How are the three of you fitting in your apartment?
Well, the apartment is small. We switched rooms. The bedroom was in the smaller room and the study room is now in the old bedroom. There isn't a lot of room but we aren't as squashed as we could be.
Are you getting along well?
For the most part, yes, we are. I'm not very found of trios so I think that says a lot for how it may appear to y'all.
Do you have plans for Thanksgiving?
Yup, we're going to the Larsons for Thanksgivin' dinner.
How are the investigators?
They is good. They're progressing for the most part.
Do you still have anyone scheduled for baptism on the 30th?
Nope, it was dropped because they didn't come to church.
Does Murray get snow or just cold and wet?
It's getting cold. I don't know if it snows or not, but it does freeze over.
Did you do anything special to celebrate your one-year anniversary?
I blew fire. That was cool
Did you get the Thanksgiving card with your "present"? And I did send you the Ensign—it should arrive by tomorrow at the latest.
Yup I did and thank you for it.
Christmas gifts?
Cash and stamps, since transfers are three days after Christmas.
