Parting is such sweet sorrow - especially after 6 months

Good Afternoon favorite family and friends!

This is my last p-day in Cheyenne, WY as I will be being transferred to Fort Collins, CO tomorrow. I will let you know for sure what ward next week. I didn't get a good listen of the transfer message when it came because of a few things: 1st - our phone exploded and 2nd - when we listened to the message we were with the Elders.

Anyways - so I will be leaving the Buffalo Ridge ward of the Cheyenne East Stake to go to a ward in Fort Collins. I am stoked! Most of the missionaries in this ward are leaving. Sister Christensen is ward hopping to the Cornerstone ward, and Elder Springer is moving on up to Laramie, WY.

So let me recap the week before I send some pictures.

Tuesday was Shellamae's baptism. I was so excited! She is the neatest lady ever. She was so prepared, and the Spirit was really strong. I am going to miss her. I can't wait for her to go to the temple to be sealed to her family. 

We also did some service for the Wardle family. They are trying to remove all of the rocks from their yard, and it is a mighty long process. 

On Wednesday, I got a few of my hairs cut. I like it. I'll send pictures for you all to judge. We also were able to visit quite a few people including the Smedly's and Emma C. We also ate with one of my favorite families in the ward - the Vuyk family. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!! Nuff said. Wednesday was also my 6 month mark. Happy anniversary to me! I have been out for 1/3 of my mission. Woohoo! :D

On Thursday, I learned all kinds of good things about the medicine of an old wives tale. Apparently: bleach is a really good remedy for poison ivy and vinegar works really well for burns. Thank you Sister Collins. Ben I think you should take note.

On Friday, we were able to visit my favorite lady Nancy. She is so cute. We have been helping her read the scriptures. She also really like to feed us which always makes my day.  We had a delicious lunch of Philly cheese steak sandwiches...home made. YUM!

We also were able to visit the Anadiotis family. I like them a lot. They are so cute - especially the 11 year old daughter.

Saturday was a really long day, and it was on Saturday that our phone went kablooey! So we have been phone less ever since. We also found out about transfers that day.

Sunday we did the bulk of our teaching. We taught 5 lessons which was a feat considering we had church and other blessed meetings that morning. We had a new Young Women's president called: Sister Baca. And we also had a new Ward Mission Leader called: Brother Pulver. Yippee!

We went over to the Vuyk's house Sunday night to sign journals and spend some time with them. Did I tell you I love them? I was really sad though because my favorite Vuyk boys weren't there. I think they must have had a football camp to go to or something. Oh well...

We need to go. Not only do we have more packing to do, but we also have lunch with the Cox's right now.

LOVE!!!!

Your favorite Sister Missionary

Ps. Dear Family - expect a package of nonsense shortly.
