Hello Family!

I hope you have all had a fantastic week. I cannot believe it is time for lexie to leave on her mission. Time just flies by out here. At first I never thought my mission was going to end. Now it seems like I am swimming against the current trying to make my time last longer. I just want to thank all of you for your love and support while I have been out here. I feel like one of the most blessed missionaries in the world to have such an amazing family behind me.

 

This week has been great. Sister Hoffman reminds me so much of Cassidy. Its probably one of the sweetest tender mercies of the lord I have recieved on my mission. The first day she got here she quoted the Ellen Here and Now movie and I almost died. I have been crackin those jokes since I came out here and no one gets them. Needless to say it makes tracting a lot more entertaining. Its so fun to be around her cause She really just reminds me of cassi, But it makes me miss her so so much more.

 

So In the Ensign this last month there was a talk about always being in the middle. Thats how I am looking at my mission. No Need to talk about me coming home :)

 

So Sister Hoffman came and we got to work. It was hard at first being the leader/ strong pull of the companionship cause Read was that for me. We set some awesome companionship goals and got to work. We met with Buddy and Claudia and a few things are holding them back from being baptized. So we are continuing to work with them to help them build a strong foundation of faith. Please keep them in your prayers.

 

We are also working with 3 other people and preparing them for baptism in the next few weeks- months. Its interesting how some people are so ready adn some need time.

 

Its been a blessing to be back here in Medford. My testimony that the Lord knows each of us and know specifically what we need has been stregnthened. There is no way this is just by chance.

 

I cannot believe summer is always over. I dont like the end of summer because a lot less people are outside and not as many people to talk to. I wont mind the heat leaving. It was 105 this past week with a lot of Humidity. I felt like I had been in a sauna all day. I dont know how Whitney is doing the New Mexico Heat, and Good Luck Lexie!! You go girls.

 

Well This stinks, I just tried to hook my camera up cause I had great pictures, but the camera is dead. Next week will be a picture letter.

 

I hope things are going well and I love you all. I pray for you daily and hope you will continue to be blessed.

 

Love Sister Rose
