5/12/13 Mothers Day

Yes, it was a lovely time talking to all of you!! I miss you guys so much! I couldn't really talk as much as I would have liked cause the members were around ha. It was nothing bad but some stories I didn't want to say in front of them yet, haha. So sorry that I didn't have any investigator stories for you. I always feel guillty after skype cause I never have great stories haha. But you will get them all when I get home. I was so glad I got to talk to you guys all for such a long time!! I didn't think that I would get to but I am so glad that I did and it was nice to just have the fam at the end and I miss all you guys and weird things that you do haha. It was so great! I just felt so overwhelmed with how blessed I am to have such a wonderful relationship with all of my family and we all are so close. I just love it and am so glad that I am stuck with ya'll forever :) The gospel is so amazing and it always makes me so happy to see all of you guys! You are so amazing!! All of you!!
 
Also it was way cool cause I got to skype Patty as well!! As soon as i logged off with you she got on so I got to see her and Cordell which was awesome. Got to talk to them for 5 min. but I love you all so much!! can't wait till october.   LUV SYD

Hiya!!
 
Things are really good this week! Still loving it. Also the weather here has been amazing as well. Well I have a couple short things to tell you but then I have to go. So we met this African lady a week or so ago and got her details and what not and then we could never get a ahold of her and we were way sad. So one day we were stopping by a less active lady and then we had some time before our next appointment to knock the area, so we had a look at the map and we chose a street to knock. For the first little bit we were knocking we had no success and hardly anyone was home. But we just kept knocking and we get to this house and knock the door. (we knew they were home cause we saw them a little way off) Guess who answers the door? The African lady. We were so excited so we were able to see her and schedule an appointment for this week so we are pretty excited about that.
 
Then this morning we met with a lovely lady. She is a Christian and has a lot of the same beliefs that we do. We tried to meet her a couple of times but things came up and she had to cancel and so we finally saw her today. She is so nice and so open. She loves her family and we shared with her the story of the Restoration and gave her a Book of Mormon and we invited her to read and pray. She really has a close relationship with God and said that she goes with what she feels is right and so she was going to read and pray and she how she feels about the Book of Mormon. I know she will feel good about it because it is amazing. :) So it's been a really good start to our Pday and our week.
 
Me and my comp are doing good. We haven't taken a lot of pictures but we will take more this week so that I can send some. Dont know what time I will call but I will call you on the phone on saturday night and arrange it there. I love you all and miss you much.
