Letter 7-10-17

This week was a lot of finding. :)

But first, 4th of July! Well we were able to see fireworks through our window, because we had to be in by six. A family in the ward, gave us dinner, which we made to the next day's lunch because then the bishop and his wife came over and gave us this huge big warm meal! It was great! Bishop Garrett and Sister Garrett are amazing! They truly do love us! <3 :) We also go to make cheese cake from a box (thanks to Sister Coffey's family who sent it on her birthday in May) :) And we watched Legacy (Joseph smith in that movie is hilarious!! :P ) and we read some scriptures. We had a very spiritual 4th of July! :P haha
My health, is the same I'm not feeling any less tired, but that's not keeping me from working my very hardest where I don't have any regrets so far! :) I'm still tired, but ask mom what we are calling it till we find another name. :P

Our investigators, well, one of them, is in jail, one of them left for Seattle and won’t be back till mid this week, and the other one we had to drop, but we are having the faith to find new people. :)

My companion, Sister Coffey, is pretty awesome she has helped me through a lot, in ways that was hard to see in the moment, but she has helped me through a lot in the mission.

I love you always and forever!

Things I pieced together from other emails this week:

She lives with members who turned their garage into an apartment. The apartment is not connected to their house but is next to their Basketball court. They have a huge house and yard! Sometimes the owner will leave them little treats. The only thing she I misses from a normal apartment is the washer and dryer. She says they go to another member’s house to do their laundry.

Everyone that lives over here has a huge house and lots of farm land! There is so much grass and it's so beautiful!!! She saw a pig that's 350 lbs!!! There are lots of horses, cows, and alpacas that they get to pet as they walk around. She hasn’t gotten to milk a cow, but thinks she doesn’t want to. She was able to drink fresh (but cold) cow's milk and try goat cheese. Thumbs up to the milk, not so much for the cheese.

Best part of last week...was reading the book of Mormon with MJ (a returning less active young women) with her to help her complete her personal progress. :)

All tests have come back normal. The Doctor want her to spend a couple $100 on two different pills that MIGHT help her feel and sleep better. She said no thank you. We have decided that she has been blessed with TEMS (Typical Exhausted Missionary Syndrome). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for prayers on her behalf.
