Hey mom! SO SISTER JENSEN IS GETTING TRANSFERRED!!!!! I am really excited for her! I am staying here in springfield! I'll be honest with you I am freaking out a bit, but I know that I can do it and I'll be ok! because I will have a companion that knows what she's doing adn is willing to work hard as well! I am really excited!!!!!! I love sister jensen, but we both need a break! It will be sooooo good! Please pray that I can keep the area going though! I am going to need all the help I can get! :) 

This week has been pretty great!!! :) personally I have found myself being more motivated and more into the work than I have been in a while which is a great thing. I am starting to really improve my confidence and put my full effort into the work. Not that I wasn't working hard before or had the desire, it is just greater and I am more dedicated to it than I have been.

Companionship wise we have been communicating a lot more and our teaching has been more unified. we are also starting to share more equal responsibility with leadership as well. I am really excited about the change though so we can both grow more in our new situations. .

Finding in our area hasn't been all that great this week. We are continuing to work with some part members and are finding great success with that as well! We were able to have a baptism this week with Brielle. She was finally able to be baptized, but not without difficulty. We have been trying to get her baptized for 3 weeks now, and with help from her grandparents and prayer and fasting it was able to happen. She woke up sick that day, and all through church she didn't feel well. but after she was baptized she felt so much better. I know that Satan didn't want her to be baptized and was working so hard on her. But she was able to overcome and now she is so happy.

We have been working with the chaffee family, he is going to be friending me so it's ok to friend him he's not a creeper! anyone else that friends me especially if they are from Springfield go ahead and friend them! :)

But the chaffee's are a family that are basically are members but they go to a different church and are very set in their ways. They are best friends with the vandifords and they know a TON about the church. They have been involved with the church for a long time but no missionary has ever offered to teach them more, not just so that they can learn more. They are amazing! so we've been teaching them for the last few weeks and they are loving it! we have been able to answer a few of their questions and help them to feel the spirit! it's been great! :)

We had a really fun day today! we went to another zone's p-day we were in fairborn on exchanges yesterday to today and we were able to go to and play with the whole zone! oh man it was so great!!!!! we played doge ball, scratch, and chair dodge ball! it was so great! I love that zone, but now I am not over the sisters there anymore because they are getting stl's in every zone now!

so anyways life is great! it's going to be a hectic couple of days but it's going to be great!!!!

I'll let you know what's going on monday!!! Love you! :)

This week has been a pretty great week. Finding this week hasn't been quite as great as last, but we are having a lot more lessons than we normally do because of how many people we found last week. It feels really good to be teaching a lot of people! We were blessed to have 2 people at church this week which is more than we have been having!

I have been growing a lot this week in being bold. Sister Jensen is really good for me this way! She is bold and says what she thinks and I am learning how to do that. You always told me to be the boldest sister in the mission and that is what I am working on. Things with being a sister training leader are going better as well. I am getting the hang of things and starting to feel like I know what I'm doing which is great!

I lost our phone earlier this week so that has been a struggle for us, but we have been able to use the resources we have to get things done. I am so grateful that we have phones so that we can communicate! I don't know how missionaries did it without phones! I am anxiously awaiting our phone to come on Tuesday hopefully!

Brielle will be baptized this week. She was supposed to be baptized last week, but she really wanted her sister to be there so we moved it to this week. She is so excited! Everything is in place for her to be baptized!

so remember Phil that we found on the bus? We went to go teach him again and he wasn't there...we were so bummed, we went back the next day and the apartment manager said that the apartment was empty and they moved out....crap! so because I lost the phone and don't have his number...we have no way to get a hold of him and we have no idea where he's at....we were praying that somehow he would show up to church yesterday...but he didn't. I'm sure the lord will help him find hes way because he was sooooooooooooo ready. we probably could have extended a date to him and he would have accepted it first lesson! he is amazing!

Sorry for the not a lot of details this week...I don't have a ton of time! I wish I had more, but these computers like to turn off after an hour!
I love you so much!

That's awesome that you got a letter from pres. Nilsen, and that he was able to talk to Cyndi! what a coincidence!...we not really but that's so great! :) anyways! we have the winter olympics today that we are having with all the missionaries it's going to be fun! then we have another Mission Leadership Counsel tomorrow! I love being in leadership! I am so blessed right now!

have a great week! :)

Love you
