Wow Jonathan is driving now? Mom said he just got his wisdom teeth pulled...is that the best combination?? haha Glad to hear you're surviving though. I'll have to write him and ask him what he thinks about that.
I'm excited for football and I'm not even going to be watching it!!

This past week Sister Taua was pretty sick, so we thought we'd be doing almost nothing...but it turned out to be a great week anyways! We had a Relief Society dinner and activity last Saturday and one of our members brought a friend with her. She introduced us to her friend, Amy, and we sat with them and got to know her over dinner. We talked a lot about the gospel, and she said she'd love to learn more about the Church! She said her step-father was LDS and that she has always been impressed with how kind LDS people are. We invited her to come to church the next day...and she actually came! Amy had been really nervous about not having a skirt to come in, but we told her it would be okay, that people would still welcome her. She seemed okay, but then her friend was able to find a skirt of her own that would fit Amy, so she felt right at home! I love it! The members that we are able to work with are always sooooo helpful. All of our solid investigators right now were member referrals...it's so awesome!
We had an amazing lesson with Eric. We read Alma 32 with him...and he said that he's finally starting to understand what we're! The analogy of the seed really helped him. It helped him to see how the feelings he feels when he meets with us IS the Spirit that we keep describing to him. He made the connection all on his own to...so awesome! This weekend he's going on the regional single adults camp out with his girlfriend and her son (in separate tents...obviously. We keep having to specify that...like people think we'd tell them to do otherwise...sheesh...). That should be awesome for him! We're really excited to hear what he thinks of it.
Chris is just amazing. She just studies everything on her own and then teaches US the lessons. She's so great...!!!
If it appears that I'm using a lot of exclamation marks...I am! It's because we were so sure we were going to have a crummy week because we were doing so little work, but the Lord still blessed us so that the time we were able to spend out and about was GOOD time spent working! It was a miracle week!
This week we're having a special training meeting for using mormon.org in our finding efforts. We already are...so I'm not really sure what they're going to be teaching us, but I'm looking forward to it. We will also be getting a new ward mission leader...We kind of suspected it was coming after our last dinner with our Bishop (he talked a lot with us about what our area is like for missionary work and what it's like working with the members, etc...)...and we TOTALLY called it on who it's going to be! We're really excited to be working with him; we think he's really going to be a great help putting the finishing touches on getting this area back on track and alive again!
I am quite lucky to be receiving so many packages! Thank you for sending those! I definitely look forward to getting them!
Anyways...Mom's questions...
We don't teach any classes. We attend the gospel principles class with our investigators and returning members. Our teacher is really good at leading discussions from the manual, and a lot of times our investigators have said that's their favorite part of Church.
Have you gotten to see the new Relief Society book yet? Our Relief Society president said she only got 10 copies...I'm really excited to see what all is in it. It sounds like a really good book.
Our meals this week were really good. Some of our favorite members fed us this week, so that was really enjoyable.
For P-day today we don't really have anything planned. We're going to go into Bellingham to go to Wal-mart. Then we'll probably come home and take a long nap...then we'll go out to work at 6 as usual. Not too exciting.
The weather has been pretty good these past few weeks. It poured all day last Monday, and it's overcast again today, but other than that it's been sunny in the 80s. Sister Taua and I have certainly been enjoying the sun!
Well...I'm running out of time, the library is pretty busy today and they've got a really convoluted system for allowing people to reserve/use computers....anyways, I've got to go...but it was good to hear from you! Tell Kelly and Grandma I've been getting their letters and I'll try to write them back later today...I really appreciate all the mail I've been getting lately! =)
Love you all,
Sister Heather Holdsworth
