Well got transfer calls this week end! Im going to a little place called Monahans! Im actually pretty excited! I have wanted to serve there my whole mission! I hope I end my mission there that would be real nice... I hate packing. but thats okay its fun! Im gonna miss Brownwood its been real its been fun im sad to leave the people not so much the town. My two new companions seem cool. I came out with one of them and I thought she was hilarious even though she wasn't trying to be and the other one I met a few weeks ago and she seems pretty fun so im excited!

In other news John got baptized on saturday! Im still in shock. I will probably always be in shock with that kid... The baptism went well I gave a nice little talk on the Holy Ghost. Sometimes I forget how blessed I am to have the gift of the Holy Ghost in my life. Its crazy to me to once I start thinking of everything he does for each of us!

Im trying to thing back on what we did this week and a realize this may have been the longest week of my whole life! So on tuesday we did exchanges with the other sister. While I was with Sis. Dunham knocking it was pouring rain like cant see while driving rain and we were knocking a dirt/mud road. But it was probably one of the funnest knockings of my life! No one on the whole street answered be me and her sure did have a lot of fun!

Sorry this letter is so short... Im soooo tired my fingers can barley type... but hey the church is still true!

Love y'all!

SO hopefully these pictures send if not it will just be in a few different emails! One is our last night as companions and the picture really discribes our relationship. Then Johns baptism! Then Elders made me hold a trianchila! i dont think thats how you spell it but its all good.

People keep asking me where is this Monahans you speak of... I have now idea! I think its in the corner of texas by New Mexico... South of Odessa. Dont know where Odessa is... yeah me either. That is why I am super happy that I didn't have to find my way here. Its a smaller town about 7000 people so its rather nice. Im really excited to serve here the people we are working with seem really legit! The branch here is bigger than the "ward" I was just in. There are even pews in this church! I was in shock and so comfy! oh and my dearest sister cassi will love this story!

So Im walking into church first day in the new ward ya know got my cuttest frumpy missionary outfit on ready to own the world! Then all the sudden... well a goose was on the loose! I felt a goose and I looked back and this kid with blond hair gave me the look of death like this is my town back off! needless to say I stayed away from primary the rest of the day.

I also was driving and totally killed a racoon the other day.... cracked the car... it was awkward.

I really dont have much else to say its been a crazy week I honestly dont remember most of it. BUT!!!!! this thurday is going to be epic! we got a call last night that said we get to go to the temple! Im so excited its been waqy to long!

SOrry this letter is lame.... LOVE Y'all!

Well today is when I call a Utah day. Its nice a cool looks like it should snow but we all know it wont.... anyway

  This week we had some nice adventures! First we did service for one of my favorite people in the world! He name is Alma she is a member here in Brownwood. We helped her clean ehr house because she could not stand on her foot. Oh It was so funny! While we were cleaning we all hear Sis. Bradford scream bloody murder and we're all like what the heck... a Lizzard attacked her and fell into the strawberry kool-aid! It was hilarious!

  We also taught John this week! He is planning on getting baptized this saturday and I am so excited for him! He is just not the type of guy you would imagine being religious and we are always in shock after every lesson and the only explanation for it all is that the church has got to be true. Its crazy! but he really is so awesome! I probably told you this story because its probs my favorite ever but the day after we taught him the Word of Wisdom he was telling us his sister asked him why he wasn't drinking tea and he just said. Well I guess im mormon now... haha I love it so much!

   Another hilarious story! So one day this week I was too sick to go out and work but we had back to back appointments all day long. So another sister came and stayed home with me. Well that night an elder was asking how our day went and with out really thinking I just said well I was sick so I stayed home but my companions said the lessons went really well! then we continued our conversation. Anyway the next day I got a call... They thought I had stayed home alone and our District Leader was stressing out all night about it! haha oh it was so funny.

We also met a lot of really awesome people this week that we hope will turn into investigators next week. Thanks so much for all y'all do for me! I could really feel the power of your prayers this week! thank you so much! The church is true!

This is me after riding my bike. My companions were fixing a bike I decided I would just be in the way. So I took pictures of myself...

Fun fact I dont know if I have told y'all but if you say howdy about 9 times outta 10 the person will reply with howdy... it may just be in Texas but its fun to do!

So General Conference! Oh I love that stuff so much! Every talk had something that I am convinced was ment just for me! The first saturday session what fun for us here in Brownwood. The church was locked and we didn't have a key so the first 30 min we didn't get to hear. Then the satelight was broken so all the speakers looked like aliens but we still got to hear the messages and thats what is important! I really feel so blessed to have a prophet on the earth that is inspired by God. sidebar can I just say he is adorable the way he talks about his wife! I cried.... anywho

We were able to meet some awesome people this week! Roxxann and her daughter have been looking for the truth for a long time. After we shared teh first vision Roxxann looked at her daughter and said do you feel the spirit? Cause I do so you pay attention what these girls are saying is true..... I was in shock for about 30 seconds... but it was a good kind of shock! They are both so excited to come to church and to learn more! we are meeting with them on wednesday and Im really excited!

Other than that it was a pretty normal week. Had interviews with the mission president and they went really well. I know this church is true y'all and it always amazes me when im able to see the change in peoples lives because of it! Read your scriptures and pray everyday and you'll see miracles!
