Oh man
how fast time is flying by! It's such a bittersweet feeling. I'm so
excited to see my family and friends and have the chance to attend the
temple, etc...but I'm going to miss being a "full time" missionary so
much. I'm going to miss Sister Verdejo very much! We've had so many good
moments! I have with all my companions! We had a pretty good week this
past week!
Tuesday we went and helped "Way of Hope" with painting their newly bought building for a thrift store. Was a BLAST! 
As
you can see...Sister Verdejo and I had kind of a paint war with each
other...and that's James, he's the owner of the store. His wife,
Michelle is taking the picture. They invited us for dinner at a church.
Saw Bernice and her neighbors there! Had a great time! Afterwards we
went back to the original "way of Hope" building and they gave us some
Italian Ice! YUM! They asked questions! oh the joys of service! Not
forceful! YAY! It was an ALL day experience!
Thursday
- Our mission got I-pads. We're not an ipad mission though, they're
just tools to help bring souls unto Christ! When we got back from the
Zone Conference, softball got cancelled, so we went over to a member's
house and he gave us some dinner. The thought came about a certain
family, so I suggested we go and invite them to the pie night Friday.
When we got there, all the kids were away swimming at their friends'
house. The mom, Dory invited us inside (dad was working outside) and
made us some herbal chamomile and peppermint tea. We started on a
discussion, and suddenly as Dory was talking, the story President shared
in Conference came to my mind about Peter on the water. They are big
bible people! It turned out great! Was a wonderful evening!
Friday
- Had a blast at Pie night! Lots of people came, and Brother Peterson had
me show off my piano skills. Was hilarious and fun!
Sunday
- Had a great day at church, the spirit was really strong! All the
Relief Society sang in Sacrament meeting, "Love at Home" for father's
day! Btw...HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Also, HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY ELDER
HOUGHTON!
I'm
very grateful for the Gospel. I know it is run by Christ and that if we
follow the will of the Father, we can't go wrong!

Also, please don't
send me any mail after Wednesday, because I might not get it in time
before I go home! I know there is still so much I can do here in this
next upcoming week and a half! Looking forward to it all!
Love,
Sista T.
