Howdy (I really like saying howdy)

That's cool that people read my blog. I'll try to say more inspiring things for them to read.

Hmm I'm trying to think of things I might need...Could you possibly send me my blue zip up hoodie? Its in the closet in, I think, the blue crate. That's all I can think of but I feel like there is something else I could really use...maybe I'll think of it by the end of this email.

The ward is really good about feeding and we have had a couple people invite to thanksgiving. Its kind of funny because we have a set of sisters and a set of elders in this ward and our calendar fills up significantly faster than the elders calender :) People like us. Families also send us home with left overs so we really don't do much cooking. Poor Cathy, how in the world does she only eat one meal a day? I have never been so hungry in my life. There is something about teaching the gospel that just makes you hungry. Can you send me her address? Also, how many stamps would I have to put on it?

So transfers are next week! I can't believe I am practically through my first transfer! I think that my companion and I will stay in Bryan because I'm still training, however, anything could happen. I definitely hope that I stay here. I think we actually find out Sunday night if we are transferring and then on Monday we find out if either of us are training (it seems crazy/scary but there is a possibility that I might train). With the last transfer our mission now has barely more sisters than elders, go sisters!

Next week is stake conference and all the missionaries in our zone and I think 2 other zones have been asked to sing. It'll be interesting.

The work has really slowed down, unfortunately. I don't know how but our investigator pool has slowly diminished. This past week was kind of rough because every single appointment with an investigator was canceled with the exception of one. The one appointment we were able to make it to however we're going to have to drop because we're just not making any progress. Its kind of discouraging because I know how important this message is but I can't force anyone to know its importance. So we are really focusing on finding people right now. My companion is more optimistic, she says that when things slow down like this it just means that good things are to coming. Looking back, we do have a couple potential investigators and the ward members we meet with always seem to be working with people they know.

Which London mission did Harrison serve in? It seems like everyone around here has a sibling that has served in London.

So what are Harrison, Rachel/Daniel, and Christian doing? Dad said that Christian is in the one acts? How is Jack (I really miss that guy, nobody here has a dog quite as cute)?

A lady in our ward works in a library and was telling me that high school librarians in Texas are librarians for more than one school and the person that worls in the library daily just has to have a high school degree. I thought you might find that interesting.

I love you!
