dear everyone,
well. another crazy week. Greenies come tomorrow!! Im so nervous. so, since transfers were last week, and greenies come tomorrow, sister filoso and I have been companions for a whole week! its been awesome, though stamford is a little upset about the missionaries just coming and going. it makes sense, they've been through about five in one transfer now.
but sister filoso and I have had a crazy fun week, combining both peterborough and stamford areas this week. so its been fun, from gypsies to beaches.. and that's probably why we are only together for a week..
it sounds like you also had a pretty crazy week mom. maybe one day we'll find that arch. haha. I cant believe jesse is going on a mission. i would say i missed camping, but finding that beach was fun enough.. and not even beachy. sad. :(
so to answer your questions now,
*How is training? I'll let you know next week when I'm actually doing it.
*what was your favorite thing you ate last week? Who made it/ or gave it to you? the weirdest thing I ate this week was pizza, at a restaurant. we had a dinner appointment, but they couldn't make it, so they told us to go to this place and they would "treat" us to pizza. it was really good, though.
*Tell us about the strangest person you met or talked to. The strangest person I have met is.. elder hill. or the gypsies. from Slovak. peterborough is crazy.
funny story of the week, elder hill and his comp, elder bowen met a crazy white mage, who came to church on sunday, and elder hill got punched by him.... and we missed it because we went to church in stamford. sister filoso was so sad she missed it.
*How are you doing with your driving? Any close calls? I really only get honked at about once a day. sometimes less than that. :) but other than that, im getting a lot better.
*What lesson have you learned this week? life is crazy. and sometimes, even the beach stinks. (literally)
*What are you studying in the scriptures? Im reading in mosiah. about alma and abanadai and all that jazz. lots of lessons to be learned there too.
*Any miracles? we finally got to teach our investigator on a date. she's nine, but her parents keep postponing and cancelling lessons (life is a busy thing). but we taught her this week! one step closer to baptism.
that about sums up my week. love you all!
love,

Dear Parents and Stake Presidents:
We have had quite a few missionaries coming in the office this week for transfers and training. After chatting with them and over hearing some of their comments, I felt a need to write a little note to all of you at “home.”
Even though our missionaries’ lifeline is e-mail, and e-mail is the fastest way to share family news and updates, your missionaries still long for those letters in the mail. Some missionaries get “tons” of mail in a constant flow. Others sadly are happy just to get something in an envelope, even if it is just some paperwork from the office.
Please encourage extended family members to send a card, a brief note, or a chatty letter to your son or daughter. Share about family or church activities this summer, a church lesson or article you liked, or you can write to them about your testimony of particular points of doctrine. Ask ward members, home teachers, clerks, YM/YW advisors and classes, primary classes, just ask them to send something in the mail. Birthdays and holidays don’t come around often enough, and it lifts their spirits just to know someone is thinking of them and they haven’t been forgotten.
Thank you for all your support and for sharing them for a season while they serve the Lord.
Sincerely,
Sister Burt - Mission Secretary
