A lovely little Valentimes tree stump.
Sister Fantau of Twin Elms Deli and me.
A bunch of goons!
Family!
This week has been swell. First, I already told you about our Mandarin speaking Mongolian friend, who we'll be seeing tonight for our first official visit. I hope it goes well--I'm a little nervous! And we also saw Sister Fantau, a less active member who owns a deli and has super tasty ham and egg sandwiches. She always declines listening to a gospel message, but this week we slipped it in via talking technology. She loves her ipad, and I asked her if the scriptures were on it. "Oh yeah, I can look at them anytime!" "Wow, so you read them often on there?" "Yeah, it's so convenient." And then we continued talking about various apps and she now has the Ensign on there and the new Bible Videos thing! She's so great. Also, big news! When I first arrived in Fardale seven months ago, we tried arranging to teach a member's nanny who was interested in the Church. It kept falling through and never happened. Then on Sunday the member was having a baby blessing and their family was in town. The member's father came up to us and said we needed to teach their nanny Sara (rhymes with car), and we set up a time that night. And we did indeed get to see her! She told us she and her friend/member/employer Ryan talk about the gospel all the time. She loves how she feels with their family and when she comes to Church. And she'd love to be baptized. She just wants some more information. Eek! We're so excited! She seems really awesome and really prepared!
Also, if you get a card in the mail from a Bernice, she's the 93 year old we visit and when she heard what happened, she sent me a note to Utah, so that's from her. It may have gone to Sister Cope though. We're not sure which address she put on it. She's so sweet.
In other news, Sister Call is getting her hairs cut today!
Love you,
sister this one
