Hi Aj!
It has been another crazy busy week but things are good. I saw the stake president today and he was asking about you. So was Brother Melessa. I told them you were doing awesome and loving it. So did you get transferred?
Do you read the lessons for Sunday school? This weeks lesson made me think of you. It was about the apostles going and serving the Lord and the blessings they would receive. It talked about how they don't take anything with them and they will be provided. It made me think of all the people that feed you each night and take care of your needs. If you haven't read it you should. I think it was lesson 5 or 6 out of the New Testament.
We had the worldwide training meeting last night and one thing that stuck out in my mind was "When you are about your Father's business, you can expect your father's blessings." How cool is that? Earlier I think it was said we had to ask for the blessings...so maybe there is some humbling necessary. So don't be afraid to ask and then you can expect blessings!
Things are moving slowly with Fellicity's baptism. She lives in the Buena Vista stake but comes to the Washington Stake. From what I am hearing they want her to go to her bishop there (who she doesn't know) and perform the ordinance there and then go to that ward (which she doesn't want to do.) We did get some Sister Missionaries -- which is AWESOME -- and they serve both Stakes so they will work things out I'm sure.
This week 4 of my non-member girls got "grounded from Mutual" for something they had done. One of my member girls said she would be "ground if she DIDN'T go". Ok, so it's punishment to NOT go if you are a non-member and punishment TO go if you are a member. What is wrong with this picture?!
Cristy was saying that burials of dead people are very strange in KOREA where her son served. She wondered if you had experienced any death yet and found any strange traditions? She said they just had one box that they did the viewing in and then after the funeral they opened up the ground (where many people were burried), opened up the box, rolled out the dead person and closed up the ground. The box was then taken back for use at the next funeral. She said it TOTALLY freaked out her son when they went to a funeral and witnessed all this.
Loved your pictures. Do you have some of the outside of your apartment and inside too? It is hard to picture where you live and what it is like. Does your apartment have a lock? Have you had any problems with theft?
Well things are staying the same here...just busy busy. We think of you and pray for you often. Thank you for bringing blessings into our lives. We love your letters and the stories you share. Your letters are the greatest. Keep up the good work! Love the details of all that is going on with you. Well I gotta run and get your 2 little sis' ready for church. Please let us know if you need anything.
Love you lots!!!! Mom.
