A Happy Week!

HELLO famila and fwends :)

Thanks for the updates.

Sister Bee sure loves you all with her whole soul!!

I had a happy happy week here, and I pray and hope you all did too!

Ready for the spill from this week, and the missionary work?

Well... Monday we finally got in with a couple I have been praying

for. Yipee!! My first week here we tracked into them, and I felt such

a good feeling. We've tried back lots, and just weren't able to catch

them home at the same time. But we finally did Monday!! Had a very

good spiritual talk, and taught the restoration. It's moments and

lessons like these, that make being a missionary the best thing in the

world.

Sister Olsen, (From Utah!) came on exchanges with me here this week.

Monday through Wednesday. She is the biggest sweetheart, and we had

such a good time doing missionary work together. We got along so well,

and had so much in common. We went for a nice nice run one morning for

morning exercises and it was so great... Until two days later, when

the soreness set in! Haha I seriously felt like I was a 19 year old

living in a 93 year olds body!! We had a dinner both nights with two

great families in the ward, the Seavys and the Haraczkas. I'll put a

picture below of when we got caught in a HUGEdownpoor... Haha :)

Thursday we had a lesson/ pizza party with our friend Sally who had

questions about our church, she also had her curious friend Amanda and

their little boys with them. Both had some great questions about what

sets the Mormon church apart from the others, I find it such a

blessing when I am able to share with others what I love, and know to

be true. Sally could be my best friend, sometimes I wonder if I was

sent here to teach and meet her. She is just goofy, and has the gift

of gab like me! I wish we could meet with her more often, but she is

learning about the church nice and slow, which is perfect for her! She

did come to church, and bring her sweet little boy a few weeks ago

tho!

Friday's we do service at an assisting living home, called Wadleigh

house every Friday. We play hang man with all the oldies, and I'll tell

ya what.. it is a highlight of the day usually. I just love them all

so much!! They are so stinking funny!

Saturday the missionaries in our ward went up to the Zion Girls camp

with a few of the members to help get the camp grounds ready for girls

camp next week. It was the most beautiful 170 acres that the church

owns. So green, with a beautiful lake around it. In my head I was

imagining a good swim in the lake, or a good walk around the camp

ground, but in reality we helped clean the kitchen, lol!  All of us

missionaries helped with the dishes. Sister Payne and I washed from

9am to 2pm, haha talk about raisin fingers times 100!! It really was

enjoyable, and I hope and pray those sweet girls have a good time at

girls camp :)

Sunday was good, we were asked to to teach the 4 and 5 year olds in

primary. It was so fun!! So many fun kids in our ward. We were handed

the lesson right before we were supposed to teach it.. It was the

weirdest thing when I opened the lesson book, I recognized and

remembered the whole lesson from when I was in primary. I couldn't

help but be thankful for you mom and dad for taking me to primary all

those years, they really are such valuable years where we can learn so

much. I know that is where my testimony of this gospel began, and I

know how important primary is. PS... I'm not going to lie, I was

probably the most excited kid in the primary room when they started

sing "popcorn popping!" Yesterday We also did a lot of street

contacting in downtown Dover... That was so great, people were out and

weather was good!! We were even able to have a good conversation about

who we are, and what we do as missionaries with two different

families. It was all fun and games until one of the dads we were

talking to had this bug fly straight into his ear... He couldn't get

it out and it was really quite scary. I didn't know what to do, I had

so much concern for this man, but I wanted to laugh because I couldn't

believe it was actually happening. Needless to say, great family, but

our conversation ended a little earlier then planned because of a rude

bug.

Well that's about all I have to update on my week.. Love ya long time!

Have a fabulous week.

Sister Bee 💗💗💗💗

Some pictures below :) I might be looking a little chunky... The ward

and some friends of ours have dropped of bread, banana bread, Texas

sheet cake, and chocolate chip cookies, all this week!! It's just so

terrible, but so great at the same time. They might have to roll me

back to Utah next May ;) ps... Today is my 8 month mark, can ya

believe it!? Cause I sure can't!
