October 19, 2015

s lee and I in Tipton, a member lent sis lee a hello kitty umbrella
and she had to take a picture even though it didn't rain,





Hi mom! It's nice to hear from you! Thanks for the recipes. Can you send me one for biscuits and gravy? I got the funniest look from bishop when I told him I wanted to make that for a ward activity. :) it was the most American thing I could think of. 
 I don't think that I will ever feel like I know what I'm doing, but I'm really good with just rolling with it. I think that's a good skill to have in life. I got to teach sharing time too! But we had stake conference last week so it was about prophets. I had to do something in all three meetings. Primary was my favourite though. It's funny that I've been out over a month now and this is the first time I was in a ward setting. Because of general conference and stake conference. It was nice even though I had to bear my testimony in sacrament meeting, help teach gospel principles class, and teach sharing time. 
That's crazy that so many people have been sick this week! A lot of people have been sick here too but I've been okay so far. 
Tell the boys good luck in the rest of their football games maybe our football team will actually be good again! 
This week has been really long but at the same time it's already Monday again. I had my first exchange on Tuesday and that was really fun. I went to harbour new district with sis Powell and we taught these two people who had both just randomly called the sisters and wanted to talk. They were both really cool and awesome people. :) and Wednesday I went to my first zone meeting, which was also fun. We taught Bobby again on Thursday, and on Friday we met this really awesome less active named Lucy, and she fed us lunch. Maybe that's why I liked her so much. Saturday was another day of missionary work just like the day before. And I told you about Sunday already. It was a really bad week for finding potentials, but it was still a good week because two of our investigators came to church! Yay!  That s my miracle for this week! Also that my watch broke and I thought I lost it and was really sad, but I found it in my coat the next morning! Prayer works! 
I have bought tights, and I already need to buy more and I'll probably spend all of my money on stuff like that. It would be nice to have some left when I get back, but whatever it's England. :) 
Sister lee is still great and she still loves me for some reason.. :) she's the best. 
I don't know what else to tell you except that I love you, and I wish my brothers would write to me... 
Keep it up! The gospel is true! It's something that you should be using everyday- not just on Sunday's. Faith is an action word. 
Lots of love 
Sister Wadsworth:)

Dear Sister Wadsworth,
Well, another week.  You have been out over a month now.  Do you feel like you know what you are doing?  I got to talk about you in primary today.  Sharing time was about missionary work.  There wasn't a lot to tell since we have only had a couple of letters, but I showed them your picture. 
The Pearsons weren't there to talk about there two missionaries.  Otto had his appendix out Thursday morning, and he is still in the hospital.  It sounds like he had a close call.  The boys were out working on fence yesterday, and they said he should be home on Monday.  
This week has been pretty crazy here.  Natty was sick on Monday.  She didn't feel well, so she stayed home.  Threw up right after we drove away.  Good thing she wasn't in the car!  The new little boy I tend is a busy little guy.  He is 2 I think.  Austin and Jaime Cole are his parents.  He goes alllllll day long without a nap.  But he is a happy little guy and lots of fun.  Keldyn and Ashton had a rough Monday, then Keldyn was sick Tues. and Wed.  It sure was quiet without him.
The band concert was actually pretty good.  The 6th graders sounded good.  Better than the last 6th graders I sat through.  We stayed thru the whole thing; boy, was Benson mad.  He had stuff to do!
Jacques has had a cold all week, too.  It's been a sick week for us.   I hope you miss it.  You should be safe clear across the ocean.
The boys played in Needles on Friday.  They WON!!!  43-35.  They have 2 home games left, then playoffs.  
Ally ran in Elko on Thursday.  The cross country team got to stay with Peyton, Shawn's brother.  Ally was sick when she got home.  Cold and/or sinus stuff.  She got to stay home from church today.  
Church today was interesting.  It's been raining and storming since last night.  About the time Sunday School should have been ending, the power went off.  So Bishop just told everyone to go home.  We cooked dinner on my new/old camp stove. And just as we sat down to eat, the power came back on.  Now we have a fire going.  It has rained like crazy today.  There should be lots of flooding in the county.
Benson asked his date to homecoming.  She hasn't officially said yes yet, but he isn't worried.
Your dad got to be home for a while today.  He was too tired to drive home last night, so he drove this morning.  He got to church just in time to go home.
Natty is waiting for you to answer her "real" letter.  I'm sorry we haven't got one off to you yet.  You have a terrible mother.
I've been thinking ahead to Christmas.  What is something we can get you that you need? I don't want to send something that you just have to lug around, or can't use.  Give us a few ideas. . .
Natty went to the orthodontist on Friday in Caliente.  she has orange and black teeth.  
I can't think of anything else that has happened.  Hopefully this next week will go better for us.  I forgot that Natty was sick again Friday night, and most of Saturday.  
So, tell us more about you.  How is your investigator doing?  Are there places you can go to just buy some tights? It seems like it would be cheaper than mailing them.  
A few of the recipes you asked for:
cookies
1 cube (1/2 cup) butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
mix
add 3 eggs and vanilla
mix
add 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Stir
add in choc chips, or what ever you want.  You can add baking chocolate with the butter and sugar to make chocolate cookies, or add peanut butter with the butter to make pb cookies.
Bake 350 for 10-12 minutes.

Brownies
2 cubes butter melted
2 cups sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
mix
add in 4 eggs one at a time

stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups flour.
Bake 350 for 30 minutes.

Pizza dough
1 cup hot water
yeast
1 tbs sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
a glob of oil
mix/knead
let rise for 10-20 minuets
bake pizza 425 for 20 minutes.

If there are any others, I will send them next week.
That's about it.  Work hard. and be nice to your companion.  
I love you.  
Mom
