This week has been a crazy one! We have had so much to do! And I am sorry to say that this email will not be as long as they usually are. We have so much to do today and we have hardly any time on the computers. Well, I got my new companion and she is awesome! I was suppose to get two but they are not sure what happened to the other one. She was a visa waiter and she just didnt show up at the mission home last Tuesday. So my new companion is Sister Madsen. She just turned 20. She is from Colorado and she is adorable. I will have to send you some pictures next week when I have more time.

Tomorrow we have zone conference and there are a lot of special musical numbers and guess who gets to play piano for them! ME!! :) I have been so stressed. I have to play for three special musical numbers, the prelude which the missionaries will be singing that and also the opening and closing songs. The special musical numbers are very hard and I only had one week to learn them and I dont have very much time to practice. So I have been stressing out about that and I will be so happy when it is over. Haha But I have been praying a lot and I have been receiving a lot of help. I know that if I was at home and had to learn these songs in just one week. It probably wouldnt happen. But I know that the Lord has been blessing me so much! :D
Well, Last Monday was crazy! We played Gator ball and I was so hyper! I was running up and down the court acting really crazy. Haha I am not sure why I was acting that way. but It made the game a lot more fun. But I have been super tired this past week and I am sure that that would be part of the reason why I have been so tired! And I want to say that I have been feeling very loved this week! I am still getting birthday cards and I have been really enjoying them! So thank you everyone so much! I plan on writing everyone back! But Thats a lot of writing so I will try and get them to you as soon as possible! :D
Tuesday was a lot of fun! We had district meeting and we played games the whole time. Just because mostly everyone was getting transfered. So we wanted to have a fun time with our district before everyone left. We had ice cream after and we used the ice cream toppings that Heather sent. Everyone loved it and they all say thank you! :D We didnt get a whole lot of other things done that day because I had to clean our house getting it ready for the other two sisters. But It turns out I only got one. So all of the rearanging and everythings was for nothing. Haha well, who knows, maybe I will be put in a trio here soon! :) Then Tuesday night was the night I got my daughter!
Wednesday we had transfers and so we went to the transfer site to drop off a sister then a lot of the missionaries went to iHop so we went with them and that was a lot of fun! Then we spent some time at the church so I could practice piano. Then we went out too see some people!
Well, I am going to jump to Saturday. That was a crazy day. We spent most of the day driving. Oh wait!! on Friday we had an inestigator come to a baptism with us! So, On Saturday we went back to see him and we talked about the baptism. And then the Zone Leaders called us asking if I would come play piano for their baptism at 1:00. it was 1:03. There was no way haha so we didnt go. But then at 2:45 they called again asking if we were coming to their baptism at 3:00 so I could play piano for them. So we rush over there and we find out that they already had someone playing piano. So we left and we went to the stake center to get ready for our zone practice that was going to happen at four. So we get there and we practice. Then 5:00 comes around and some sisters need a ride home. We had dinner at 5:30 So 5:15 rolls around and we take them home and that made us 20 min late to our dinner. Then after our dinner the Zone leaders call us again asking us to go to someones house to help them unload. So we drive around for 15 min trying to find this place and we finally find it and they didnt need our help any more. Haha so we go home and we change and go see one of our ward mission leaders. Saturday was a super crazy day! And It was full of pointless driving haha :) but It was kinda fun.
Well on Sunday we went to church with one of our investigators and then another showed up and then another investigator went to their ward with the bishop. So all of our investigators went to church! It was awesome! :) We were super excited about that! Well, I have run out of time. I will make sure that my email next week is better! I miss you all and love you all! And thank you so much for all of the love this past week! :)
Love,
