Dear Fam,
It sure was a nice Mother's Day. In church we had wonder talks about moms and two sisters in the ward were asked to bear their testimonies; it was awesome. The closing speaker gave a wonderful talk on biblical mothers, it was very insightful. The Dickson Ward gave every sister 18 and up flowers from the Primary; it was very nice of them. Sister Goff and I went to two sisters’ homes to deliver the gifts we had for them (a card and a rose). We first went to Angie's (Recent Convert) to see how she was doing—she didn't come to church and we were worried. She and Wade have been fighting and it isn't good. Anywhoo, when we showed up and gave her the presents she was happy. She was busy making dinner for her, Wade, Tim, and possibly Milton, who was asleep when we got there. Sister Goff shared a message from the BOM about Helaman's 2,000 sons. I think it really touched Angie's heart.
Mom, I'm sorry about the headache, sounds rough.
It's soo cool to hear about the wallpaper in the formal dinning room. [Lisa started ripping it down after dinner.] What color will you paint it?
I gotta go I still need to write to President Hutchings.
Love all y'all!

Transfer 3 Week 3, March 25, 2010
Have you figured out your address yet?
Yes, I sent home a letter, so you should get it soon. Anyway, I'll tell you now. It's 102 1/2 Poplar, Dickson, TN 37055.
So, have the Elders been able to forward your package yet, or have you even been able to send the address yet? It's important you get the tax papers inside.
No, they haven't. If I don't get it by the end of the week I'll tell somebody higher up who can do somefing about it. And will do, Mom.
Tell us about Wade. And how's his mom, Angie, doing?
Wade is cool. He's been a member for about two or so years. His story is this: he found a post-it note crumpled on the bottom of his shoe with the sister missionaries’ number on it. He took the initiative and called the number. The missionaries came over and taught him, and he was baptized. His mom, Angie, would sit in the living room while Wade was being taught in the kitchen. Her heart was being softened as she sat there overhearing what was being taught. Now she's being taught and will be baptized after church on Sunday, March 28, 2010, 13 1/2 years after I got baptized.
Any other investigator news?
Well, one of our potential investigators came to church yesterday. That was cool.
Are you still feeling ill? Are you going to see a doctor about it?
Yeah, I'm still kinda feeling iffy. This past week I've been okay, it wasn't too bad. Sunday though, my stomach really hurt, and it wasn't due to nerves about talking in church. About 7 o'clock last night my stomach and intestines really hurt, I felt like I was going to puke. I did eventually once we got home. It's still on the grass by where we park our car. hehehe.
I put your mission address and email address on your Facebook wall last week. So maybe some of your friends will see them again and write.
That's great. I really do hope some of my friends write me.
Have you received any letters from members of our Ward?
I did get something from members of the ward. 'Twas from the Davis clan. It was really nice of them to send the Easter card and treat.
Tell us something interesting that's happened in the last week.
idk. Oh, we met a family in the ward with the same last name as our mission president. . . . Which reminds me I gotta write him. So I'll talk to y'all next week.

Transfer 3 Week 2, 15 March 2010
So how did the transfer go for you and Sister Goff? Is it unusual for a companionship to get moved like that?
The transfer went well. The mission got one new sister, and the rest, of course, were Elders (I didn't count). I don't think President Hutchings moves sisters like he did with us that often if he does with Elders, I wouldn't know. So Dickson got whitewashed and so did my old area. Burgess Falls A really needed new eyes for the area.
Did someone take the two of you and all your stuff in a van or something to move you?
It wasn't just Sister Goff and I who were moving. The other set of sisters, one left for home, and one of the Spanish Elders also left for home. So we had a lot of stuff to take. The car Sister Goff and I got to use President moved to another area, so the sisters drove to Nashville in it. We did have a van for all the junk though.
I looked at a map and it looked to be about a 2-hour drive from Cookeville to Dickson. Was that about right?
It's about two hours from Cookeville to Nashville. Dickson is about an hour from Nashville. We're in the Franklin Zone, though.
What's the new area like?
Awesome. Since there haven't been sisters here for a while everyone is very warm to us. It's very nice. It's a part time car area so, I'm riding my bike. I haven't been feeling the best so Sister Hutchings thinks I might have an ulcer, dunno.
Are you starting from scratch to find people to teach?
Yes, and no. The Elders had people they were teaching, but the area book isn't the best.
How's the new apartment/house?
It's awesome. It belongs to a member so we kinda stay with them. It's a house by itself, but we're right "next door" so we can come over and talk wif 'em if we want/can.
What's your address there?
Don't know, gotta send me a letter for me to know.
How's the ward?
Great. We're sisters and they haven't had sisters for a while so they are just loving us. The bishop even told people to give us rides if they can.
You'll let me know when you receive the package I sent, right? We got the two boxes you sent. What are you using instead of the coat you sent home?
Of course I'll tell you when I get the package. I told the Elders to send it to me once they get it. I might have to send them a letter to let them know where to send the package, so once I know the address they can send it to me. And I'll let you know.
Tell us interesting things that happened during the week.
Well, nothing too exciting. We just set a baptismal date with a woman named Angie. She's really nice, has some WOW issues but is wonderful nevertheless. Her son, Wade, joined the church about two years ago and now she's going to be baptized. Wade's story is awesome I'll have to tell y'all it later. I gotta write President Hutchings.
Bye-bye for now.
P.S. Have Amanda WRITE ME, along with all my other friends.
From a second email:
I forgot to tell you why I sent the coat home. I bought a smaller jacket that should do just fine, for biking and perhaps even when it rains. I don't know. I haven't been feeling very well so I might have an ulcer. We'll see.
