Hello! Sorry for the late email...the power went out yesterday at the library. It was also district p-day yesterday, and BGOs day (BGO's is the Bargain Grocery Outlet. It is owned by a church member in Bellingham, and he gives each of the missionaries in our zone $20 there on the first Monday of the month)...so it was busy! Our district had lunch together and then we played games at our church building. It was interesting I suppose.
Saturday was Katie's baptism...it was really great. About half of our active members came out to support her, she really felt loved, and we were all very pleasantly surprised: we weren't expecting that many people! We loved it and appreciated it though! We had a meeting with her this morning; she's doing really good, getting ready to move and whatnot. She's really excited to be able to do baptisms for the dead in Provo. =)
My new companion is Sister Niu--the one I was having dreams that we would be companions! How funny! She is from West Valley, UT. She's 6th of 8 kids. Her parents are both from Tonga, but she was born and raised in Utah. (Sister Beckstrand is from Heber to answer your question...She'll be going back to Snow college when she's off her mission next March.) We're getting along really well. We can't believe we've only been all together for a week!
Let's see...what else is going on...Our investigators seem to be dropping like flies now that Katie is baptized......Erik dropped us...bunches of others, too.....Chris is still doing really well...except that she needs to have reconstructive surgery on her knee and so that's probably going to postpone her baptism until next spring so that she can recover!! =( bummer!
This coming Saturday is our mission conference with Elder Anderson--don't know if I mentioned that in my last email or not...if not...hey! guess what! Elder Anderson is coming to our mission...He's having a conference with the missionaries on Saturday and then on Sunday our stake is having a special stake conference with Elder Clayton and President and Sister Wilson...we're curious if Elder Anderson will be in attendance as well...Maybe! Who knows!?
Other than that...it's pretty much business as usual. Just trying our best here in Everson...The sun was setting around 5:30...so now it's setting at 4:30. Still taking the vitamin D.
Love you all! Miss you!
Sister Heather Holdsworth
