HOLA!

You all sound so great and busy! Dad..I am so glad you had a great bday! I had a great "your bday" day too! :) I thought of you a ton and couldn't believe my Daddio was 50! Wow... "Growing old is required, growing up is optional" :) 

Oh my..some times a 10 minute phone call would do better then an attempt to tell you how wonderful this week was..but here we go! 

So, we had transfers this week... I am blessed to be with my girl Sister Peel! She is so great! She has been out for a year and is from Alabama (not Utah...weird - right?) She is a great worker and is tough..my kind of girl! :) 

There are 16 sisters in our zone right now because of the temple and they are all so excited! I am grateful to be where I am at and at the timing I am at. This is going to be the best transfer ever! 

Everyone is progressing so well, literally I don't know even what is happening but I will continue to recognize who is doing it and be so very grateful. Crossroads is a miracle land and I could serve here for the rest of my life!! 

The Dennis family is on a baptismal date now and they are all doing so well! As we were teaching them this week, Daphne the Mama..told us she knew this was true and she has never felt the way she does and has in her entire life!! They committed to be baptized on August 8th and I am so excited for them. I LOVE THEM! Patricia and William are doing wonderful!! They too received their answer that they knew this was the true church. Patricia expressed how scared she was of water and how she is scared to get baptized but she knows it is something she needs to do so...will you all pray for her that she will not be afraid!? They are both progressing so well! She has read the Book of Mormon every single day since we committed them too, plus she hasn't missed church for a solid month and half! :) :)

Keli is incredible and is getting there with smoking..she needs ALL the prayers she can take...she needs to stop this week to make her date so please...put her in those prayers too! She is reading The Book of Mormon every day and being so faithful! 

Doug and Cherry made huge break throughs this week! They are getting so close to being able to commit to a date again. They are on the DIVING BOARD...now they just need to JUMP! :)  

7 people at church this week and they all loved church! I loved church! Sometime testimony meetings in the crossroads ward are very interesting but...this one was perfect! :) (this is the only Mormon church that I know that is allowed to say Amen, Hallelujah, and clap in sacrament meeting, and get away with it!?) There is a Baptist kind of feel to church and I LOVE it! haha!

Well, this week is going to be crazy! 

Tuesday- STL training meeting at the temple

Wednesday-All sister training meeting at the temple

Thursday- Zone meeting

Friday- Speaking at girls camp  

Sunday- All missionaries are getting a VIP tour of the temple with our investigators. (the temple open house hasn't even started yet...but the Temple President is giving permission to have all missionaries and their investigators go through early!)  We have 10 people committed to come already! 

I can not tell you how excited I am about the temple! I literally am like a little girl at Christmas! I have been tracking and contacting for a year and half (almost) about this beautiful building and the moment is finally here! AHHH! I cannot wait! I will make sure to write in my journal every night so I will never forget it! 

In the middle of all this goodness...we will strive to preach the gospel!  PRAY FOR ME! :) Its so busy and so great...and I have never been happier!!
I love you all and am thankful for you all! :)

Love,

P.S. We were able to see fireworks with our zone...we got to stay out til 10:30pm and it was wonderful to celebrate America!!!
