Dear Everyone, this has been such a weird week.. between bible bashing and actually doing some tracting, and the sun shining, its just put us out of the swing of things. but I was super excited for the WAY spiritual experience of general conference to put me right back! Just how did we get there though? that was a really big question weighing on sister woolsey's and my minds all week. most of the members here decided to watch it at home in their jammies.. and we could not find a lift there or back at all. the worst part is that the trains run differently on sunday, so we would end up waiting at the train station for an hour or two to get home. it was stressful. but *miracle* we went on saturday with a prayer that we would be able to make it in by 9, and we got there, (not really the problem) though an hour early.. the session was great. It is still weird to only watch on session on saturday night (the sat. morning session) and thankfully it ended a bit early and we left straightaway and walked to the train station- if we had been even a minute later, there would have been no train for another hour. we made it home just fine and on time. :) Getting there sunday was the worst part. we did end up waiting for a train for an hour when we had to change, but there was no rush and we still were way early for the sat. afternoon session. but this time the church was unlocked from the priesthood session. sunday was great. and during the last session we were able to watch (sunday morning) some of the members from our ward offered us a lift home! it was the miracle we had been praying for and what we had been stressing out about all week. so, miralces happen, prayers are answered and We go to listen to ALL of general conference (well, most of it.. they dont show the last session because of the time difference)!!! and be uplifted by the words of our living and breathing prophet on the earth today. it was great. other highlights of the week were some other miracles like the miracles of allergy pills at dinner appointments. and that one of the less actives we are working with is excited to do missionary work! now if only we could get him to church.... I love the gospel, I love what it teaches and that we as people can live for better tomorrows because of it. :) its so amazing. and I loved listening to the prophets and apostles speak and my favorite speaker was the Holy ghost because He was the one doing all of the teaching. I love you all and hope you have a great week! and do something fun like eat some tacos or ice cream, or even chocolate and sing frozen songs at the top of your lungs because I love all of those things. :) do something to make you happy because i love you and you deserve it. :) Love, sister wadsworth Dear mom, I'll let you know when I meet the other sister wadsworth. transfers are weird now so it could be a while. but I will take a picture of elder halverson and I just for you because we're serving in the same ward! the first time you mentioned it, I thought I would probably never actually meet the greenie, (even though he is not training anymore, he still is green) but here I am, and so your prayers have been answered. haha love you loads! rachel On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 6:23 AM, kelly wadsworth wrote: Dear Rachel and Chelsey, Did you get any good April Fool's jokes? The only good one I heard about was on Facebook. It was an LDS magazine or something. They announced a 6th session of conference for Sunday evening. There was another one that announced a temple in Disneyland, but it wasn't as believable. Grandpa Frehner didn't even get us this year. So how has your week been? I hope you had a better one than I did. After working on Monday, I ended up sick, sick, sick. I think it was the actual flu that people get the flu shot for. Oh, it was no fun at all. Then Wednesday afternoon, it was like someone flipped a switch, and poof! I felt better. So weird. So I got to take Tuesday and Wednesday off. Natty had half days on Wed. and Thursday. I told Keldyn last week that he would get to play with Natty, and he was sooooo excited! I was really hoping that I would be better so he could get at least one day to play with her. Natty rode home with Grandma on Thursday, and there was much rejoicing when she got here. Then since I didn't have Reiko, and didn't have to run down to Panaca, Remi got to come out and play with Natty too. The little kids sure love her. Natty got to go to her first official Wednesday night Young Womens' at the church. Ally taught about Family history, and now Natty is excited to get started on hers. Except that she signed up for her lds account, and now can't remember her username and password. Friday that boys had a trackmeet in Boulder City. They left at 9 in the morning, and didn't get home until 4 am. ShaRee offered to bring them home. I love ShaRee!! Natty had her orthodontist appt. Friday morning after we dropped the boys off. She got green and teal. When we got home, we just had a relaxing day. A little mending and sweeping. Natty mowed the one little lawn. We are pretty boring, remember. Saturday was Jr/Sr Prom. Ally went with Andrew Hansen, and Jacques took Josee Burgess. They were in the same group with Jesse and Derek and Asia. Jacques hasn't said much (does he ever?), but Ally said she had fun. Dad was here to be her escort for the promenade. The Jr's didn't do the promenade, so I was off the hook. You should be home next year, Rachel, so I hope you will be Jacques' escort, and I don't have to. We had a birthday/adoption day party for Pants on Thursday. Can you believe it's been a year? Can you believe she is still alive? I had my doubts when we brought her home, but she belongs now. Saturday we watched conference. I started a puzzle, but then Natty started her own. she is doing the one Kelsey gave you. Neither of us finished, but Natty got more done than me. We all watched together today. I think everyone mostly stayed awake. Even the boys. Even dad! We had biscuits and gravy between sessions. Dad just left for work, and everyone else is going to bed. Next week should be a little easier. No more prom stress. I hope everyone stays healthy. Back to normal. I will send the pics from the prom. and forward Chelsey's letters. Have you met the other Sister Wadsworth yet? That is so funny that there are two of you in the same mission. If you ever run into the red headed missionary that looks like Andrew, can you get a picture with him? Chelsey, have you met anyone over there that you know, or that knows someone you know? It's so funny that we meet people all over the world that way. Anyway, I had better get some sleep. I love you. You are on my list of heroes. Just thought you'd like to know that. Loveyou mom hpaich on
