Hello Family! How I love you!
This week has been splendid!
On Monday we had our preparation day. We went to a park and played
ultimate Frisbee. I actually caught it, and threw it. So that's kind of a
huge deal. Then the Elders all tried their cool tricks-picture of one
included. Then on Monday night, we had to drop a bunch of our
investigators because they weren't progressing. That was hard because
you grow to love them SO much. But, I can still love them, and fulfill
my purpose by teaching people who are willing to progress.
Tuesday:We went to the Doctor's for a post-op and he said
everything was fine and I can go back to normal exercise on May 1st.
Wooo hooo.
Wednesday: He had district meeting and then we were out in our area
all day finding people. It was good. Sorry these are kind of lame, but I
was behind in my journal, so I just wrote the basics, so I don't really
have cool stories to tell you :(
Thursday; We were on exchanges and I went to Fairview with Sister
Jasper. It was fun. I like being with new missionaries because then you
can see the things that USED to bother you, and how you have overcome
them. It's a good thing (Said like Martha Stewart). Also, on Thursday, a
little birdie told me who my next companion is most likely going to be-
that little birdie was Elder Watson, and he said that it will probably
be Sister Hawkes!!! I will find out for sure tomorrow, but I am so
excited!!! It's her last transfer and so President let her request who
she wanted to be with. Incredible. Stay tuned next week to see if my
wildest dreams came true!
Friday: We were in our area all day long, but then Elder Watson
needed me at the Trail Center so I came in and helped out. Also, this
Sunday we are hosting a concert in the park. A bunch of the sisters will
be singing and it's gonna be huge. Sister Hawkes and I are singing come
thou fount, and then Sister Belka, Atkin and I wrote a mash-up thing of
the handcart song and come come ye saints. It's SOOOO Awesome! So we
will perform that, and then I'll be sure to record it and send you a
copy. After we were done at the TC, we took one of our investigators to a
baptism and she loved it. She is so excited for her own baptism, and so
are we! She is getting baptized May 12! When is Hannah getting
baptized? Then that night, since it was our 9 month mark, we decided to
take pictures. At your half way point, Elders usually burn a tie. But
apparently, sisters have a pregnant picture since it's 9 months haha.
Kind of funny. It looks real to me, and that is freaky. Anyway, kind of
funny.
Saturday: We were in the Trail Center and then we taught one of our
investigators and she is progressing a lot. She is from Venezuela and
she didn't grow up with any belief in God so her progression has been
slower, but she is doing so well!
Sunday: We were in the TC and then we got some great new
investigators. My favorite was when we handed the Book of Mormon to one
of them and she looked so excited to read it! It's like she was hungry
for the truth that she would find in it. I love that.
Monday: We had our last district meeting together and then we were
on chat. It was a lot of fun. The TC is getting an exhibit of Book of
Mormon paintings, I'll have to send pictures to you, they are really
cool!
Ok, now for the pictures:
My district from this transfer: Elders Dobesh, Nelson, Smith, Reese, Sisters Rhoades, Unice, Davis, Proctor
I can't believe it's just going to be Mom and Dad at home! That is so crazy! They will have fun.
Things with the belly button are just fine. It hasn't bothered me
and I can do everything normal, except for exercise until May. I'm glad
it's all over with. It was kind of fun though, I was thinking about
surgery this morning and I wanted to do it again just so I could be put
out hahaha. Anything for more sleep when you are on a mission :)
Yeah, so transfers are this week. Sister Davis has been here her
whole mission, so she's probably gone. We have had a really great time
together. I love being her companion. I am excited to see if Sister
Hawkes really is my companion. We'll have a total blast. It's my goal to
make this her best transfer of her mission since it's her last. I love
transfers!!! I love the drama of it all hahah. I love thinking of who is
going where and with whom. Hahah it's so fun. And, we get to be at the
Trail Center tomorrow morning which is the best, because then you hear
everything as it's happening hahhaa. Oh man, it's like a soap opera, but
it's the greatest.
Holy Cripes!!!! I can't believe Isaac got called to be in the
Bishopric! Good luck with that and having your first child at the same
time!! I will keep you in my prayers:) I am sad that I missed Taniel's
Baby shower. I bet it was way fun. Casey said she was gonna put my
number on the invites so they could RSVP to me, hahahah. So funny.
Yesterday, I was on chat and no one was coming on to talk with us,
so I looked at the 14th ward directory online with pictures. There are a
TON of new people in the ward that I don't even know. It's crazy.
Ok, so I am so excited for the concert in the park this weekend!
Seriously, it has been so much fun to make up songs and sing them with
sisters. It turns out that I really like composing stuff. Maybe I'll do
music stuff when I get back. Everyone always asks us about the school we
did and what we want to do when we get home. I am hoping that in the
next 8 1/2 months I get that figured out. I love medical stuff- but on a
scale of 1-10 I really don't want to do all that schooling. If one of
you could just figure out what I should do when I get home, that would
be great.
Well, dearest darlingest family, I love you all so much. I love
this gospel. Missions are SO MUCH FUN!!! It's so cool that I just get to
talk to people and bear my testimony to them all day long. It's so
awesome that I get to see people's hearts change. It's so awesome that
my heart is changed in the process!!! I just love being a missionary. I
can't believe how lucky I am. I love serving my Savior.
I love all of you and I am so grateful for everything that you do.
Keep up the good work. I heard Mom is going to go to the temple once a
week! What an awesome goal and I wish I could join you!!! Do everything
you can to be a little better, like President Hinckley said. This gospel
is amazing and our only source for true happiness and true peace. I
love you !!!
Love,
Sister Proctor
