Hola!
We weren't able to email Monday because it was Memorial day and the library was closed. So I'm going to do a quick update on what happened this past week!
We just keep finding more and more people to teach! It's not a problem trying to figure out who to see! Also we've been helping people move a lot this past week. We have one family that moved this morning to Utah. It's sad to see that family leave, they have 7 kids about ages 5-12 and they are all so adorable. Sister Poulson (the mom) even helped me sew a dress on several P-days. I'm actually wearing the dress that I made in the top picture. and a missionary couple in our ward (actually our ward mission leader) is leaving to Utah and then they're headed on their mission to Santiago, Chile West mission in August! Pretty soon another family in our ward will be moving to Ohio. One person in our ward joked that we need to baptize that amount of people in June to replace everyone who's leaving.
We drove up to Wichita for a training. We're getting Ipads soon! I loved the training because we talked about Ipads 10 percent of the time. We were mainly trained on how to raise our future families. I know that this mission isn't only for my Savior and to find those people who are prepared to hear his word; this mission is for me. I know that when we lose ourselves in the service of others we find ourselves. We recognize our weaknesses and seek to become better every day because of the atonement. We seek to be agents of the Lord. I took so many notes and learned so many things from Elder Clarke from the seventy! It was just like a flood of revelation on things that I had no idea and things that I know I need to change so that my future family will be strong in the gospel and be protected against the adversary.
On Sunday there was this crazy storm! Not to alarm you or anything! We're totally fine. The Elders were on the road coming back from Dodge city for a devotional and they saw a tornado about a mile wide. I'm not here to alarm you! It was out in the middle of nowhere around Plains. So when the rained started we were on the front porch talking to an investigator. Then it started hailing so we decided to go. We went to a less actives house and we heard the hail and the sirens and we were about to get pushed into the crawl space (because they didn't have a basement). But luckily the sirens stopped before we had to get our dresses all dirty. I actually don't get claustrophobic, but that crawl space looked scary to crawl into. Not to mention they were going to shove all of us in their with their dogs and cats. It was quite an interesting experience. But luckily we're alive and the only thing that was hurt was the poor car, which just got a little beat up from the hail. I have a picture at the bottom of this email so you can see how big the hail was.
I love you so much! Remember CPR. Go to Church, Pray, and Read. It keeps us spiritually alive! Also we need the temple and family home evening each week!
