Hey
Everyone,
The Lord truly
has his hand in our lives; especially here in the Lake Nokomis Ward!!!! I am so
grateful for the investigators he has blessed us with. He has led us to 4 of
his precious daughters who are ready to be baptized and have set a date!!!! I
am so excited…… I can't wait to help his daughter’s progress towards entering
into the waters of baptism!!! I know that Heavenly father truly blesses his
missionaries, and though I am not perfect I continue to strive to be the best
missionary I can be for my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for this gospel, for
prayer, and for the faith that the people here in Minnesota have to follow in
the Saviors footsteps.

So, we may or may not have seen a bed bug in our apartment and we
may or may not have an exterminator in our apartment killing them right now....
Don't have a cow Mom…… I won't bring any home. But, we saw one last week and
killed it. I was flipping out; called
the housing Elder in the MMM Elder Thompson and he got right on it. The
landlord called the exterminator and he came the next day. They said they found
some bed bugs but they were in the early stages of life and should be easier to
kill. So today we had to get up at 5 am so that they could heat our apartment
up to 140 deg. F' and spray to kill the little buggers. So rewinding to a few
days ago, the Elders had to come to our apartment to move all of our furniture
into the middle of the room, so that the pest people can do their job. So, we
kept the rule of 3! Don't worry…… but it was soo funny seeing Elders in our
apartment, haha! So anyways, we have slept on the floor the past few nights and
man is that rough when you are a
missionary!!!!! Last night when we got home we had to go through our apartment
and fill boxes with stuff and label it; “Do Not Heat.” We stayed up cleaning
until 1:15 am!!!! I don't remember the last time I stayed up that late. Then we
got up at 5am to let the guy in!!!!! We were so dead to the world!!!!! So we
have to leave the apartment obviously...so we went and got breakfast at
McDonalds, drove to the church and attempted to sleep on the couch.... now my
neck hurts and we were both freezing!!!! So we gave up on that and here I
am..... The Elders came to the church and just laughed at us because we had to
put stuff in our car so it looks like we live out of our car. We told them how
late/early we were up, we have ZERO makeup and our hair is well….. you've seen me in the am... they were cracking up
with how tired we are!!!!!! So yeah, bed bugs “bite!” lol

The Elders called us the other night. We
were talking and said goodnight; and they were like “Don't let the bed bugs
bite!!!” ooohhhhhh!!!! I could’ve slapped
them!!!! But, it was funny!! We saw the Lake Nokomis Elders a lot this week. We
had lunch with them at Panda and that was fun. Last Monday the Saratov Approach
was soooo good. It was weird watching a movie like that on your mission. I
could understand how the Elders felt love for the person who wanted to kill
them. It is kind of a bizarre feeling, but after I was so appreciative for my companion.
Let me tell ya those Elders had the longest comp inventory ever!!! hahaha I am
grateful; for Sister Hunt! She’s da best!
We had a miracle this week. Our Stake youth performed ‘Journey
with Joseph’. It was a play about Joseph Smith.
It was so good. We got to go and
Heavenly Father blessed us immensely there. TWO of our ‘gators were IN the play
and both set a date to be baptized! Summer is getting baptized this week and
then ANNIKA’S MOM WANTS to get baptized too. We taught her yesterday. She felt the Spirit and cried. She wants to
learn more #thechurchistrue.
