Sister Torgerson repairing something that had come loose on our vehicle, with floss I happened to have with me! And it has held up quite nicely!

I saw this double-edged light saber at Wal-Mart and nearly dropped dead with excitement.
The blender exploded the other day while I was making my green smoothie--we've found green specs on our beds and in the closet.

Family Dearest!
Oh joy of joys, it's so fun to hear about the goings on over there! What with all the children and what they're up to.

Thanks Vances for the cards this week, how fun it was to get a whole bunch of artsy cards from you! Elder Christiansen from the mission office called me this week and asked if I go by Missy, because they got a card for a Sister Missy this week and they weren't sure who it was for, but that it was from an Issac Vance. So they opened it to see if the heading of the card gave more clues, and still nothin. I said that was my name and he said that someone sure does love me. That was fun!
This week has been pretty ok. The trees are changing, which is just superb. And the clouds are really wispy, curly, and cotton ball-ish. Dawn and Judy are doing well, as is Bill. He's still recovering from his surgery. Apparently he walked around Home Depot the other day, and that was quite a to do for him. Kevin broke his phone, so we haven't been able to get in touch with him to teach him. His baptism will be moved back, but that's ok. We want to make sure he's prepared for it. We helped a lady with hauling wood into her basement again. There's a whole bunch of it in a half shed thing in her backyard/forest. There are all number of creepy crawlies in that shed, and the wood on the bottom is all moldy and squishy. Ew! So my companions hauled the good wood into the basement, and I hauled the bad wood to the forest and chucked it in there. All in all, it was a pretty good day. Until Sister Torgerson saw a huge spider on my bag and started whacking me with her gloves. I did get bit by it though, so maybe I'll get neat supernatural powers and be able to swing over to people who are too far down the street and give them Books of Mormon that way. Only time will tell!
We also had a mormon.org referral from someone requesting a Book of Mormon. We met him at the Church, after him telling us he was disagreeable and we should just send the Book. But we were persistent and set an appointment. It's just so much better if we can explain the Book of Mormon and how one gains a testimony of it then bear our own testimonies. So we met him, and he was indeed quite disagreeable, but that's ok. He's staunchly Atheist, but enjoys reading religious books. He ordered this one because of Mitt Romney. For about an hour we talked to him about the Church, Gospel, God, Jesus Christ, the Plan of Happiness, etc. He was not gruntled, quite disgruntled in fact, but afterwards invited to buy us sandwidges. We agreed and continued our discussion. At the end of our rather awkward meeting, he told us he kept trying to find something wrong with us and our religion, and couldn't.
For fun, Sister Torgerson, Bell and I have been practicing comparing the Gospel to anything. So far we've succeeded with a box of chocolates, Cheetos, bug extermination, etc. And then it came in handy, because we were planning on teaching someone about the Restoration, specifically the Apostasy, and we weren't sure how to bring it up. She was talking about her cats and how they fight over the cat food she puts out. There you go! People fighting over plain and precious truths of Gospel and taking parts that they like best.
Well, I love you guys so much. And I'm excited to see you again, but until then "Para Siempre Dios este con vos!" (God be with you til we meet again, in espanish. And it was neat, the Elders invited our zone to their baptism yesterday and we sang two songs in Spanish for it, it was quite fun!)
Love ya,
sister meeso
