Familita,
Write Seth. He is such a good
Elder!! :) He's been out a month and a half.... WHAT?? His mission is splitting
July 1st. I hope he stays in the mission he is in... just for the sake of it's
name. I mean, it's his dad's mission. His mailing address is
Elder Setheroni 'n' Cheese
Carstens
1250 Main Street
Broomfield, Colorado 80020
This week we get to start
exchanges. Tonight I drive Sister Pence to Kingman to drop her off with Sister
Berger, and I pick up Sister Jenson-Coon. I am looking forward to learning how
to be a better "trainer" (really, Sister Pence is training me) from a
second opinion. Sister JCoon is such a funny girl, and it only lasts 24 hours
so I shouldn't get companion withdrawals too bad. I will report on
how that goes next week. Saturday we have our second exchange. We are the only
sisters out of valley, so it's just us four in a "sister
district."
I WANT TO SHARE A MISSIONARY POEM
WITH YOU, but I keep leaving it in the apartment. Mom, thank you for the little
notebook. It helps me to remember what I need to write about. and I will stick
the poem in it! :) Also, THANK YOU FOR THE PACKAGE!! I love Seeds of Change SO
MUCH. I am eating it right now... It's quick, portable, delicious
and nutritious. I enjoyed eating sugary cereal as well! :) My companion was
extremely entertained by the bacon in an envelope story I told her. Dad, you
are famous here. Thank you so much for the sticky note supply. i certainly will
use them ALL!! AND I LOVE BROCCOLI CHEESE SOUP!! It's 9007* here, but I am
always in the mood for a nice, warm cup of soup and a skillet toasted
tortilla.
On Saturday we had
an appointment every hour. It was the best. So packed full that we
had to rush out of people's houses. I love that. Our Heavenly Father is
blessing us, and allowing us to teach His children. We had planned to
talk to a street contact, Vicky. She was "confined to a power chair,"
but we found her power chair and not her... so... we knocked on the wrong door
in her apartment building but the lady we talked to ended up being really interested
and we gave her a Book of Mormon and she already started reading it! How crazy,
huh? It's amazing how He knew where we would be because we had planned it so He
put someone in our path to share the gospel with.
Friday night we had a Luau for the
ward, spearheaded by the Kalauli's. It lasted 2 hours and the entertainment and
food didn't run out. It was honestly the BEST ward function I've ever been to.
There were 14 non-members there and all of the ward members were talking to
them and caring about them, and inviting them over. It was SO GOOD. The next
day we had 5 non-members at church. WOOOO HOOOO! We invited the Elders and
their investigators and a few came. We contacted a man at Wal-Mart last Monday
and he and his wife and their two, teen-age sons came. It was successful and
fun. Plus it was only, like, 94* outside! All the prayers worked!! :)
Yesterday we sang in sacrament.
What an awesome experience. Since our Stake President cried I would say we
did a good job. I send Mom what the Relief Society President, Sister Petry (she
accompanied us) recorded when we were practicing. Hopefully it all goes
through.
I love you!! It's time to go
bowling. Yay for bowling in a skirt. :P Let me know if there is anything we can
do for you!
HUGS FROM HAVASU!!
