L-O-V-E + M-I-R-A-C-L-E-S = Happy Mother's day!

Hello Favorites!
"Have I told you lately that I love you?" <-----PS. Those are song lyrics. I can't remember to which song because I've been a missionary way to long, but...in any case - they popped into my head and so I thought I would share.
You are all so great! And I miss you all tons. Thank you so very very much for all of the prayers and well wishes that you have sent in behalf of me, Elder Bryans and my family. I know that they have and are always much appreciated.
I hope all the Mom's reading this had a fantastic Mother's Day. I hope you know how grateful the Lord is for your service as a mother. And I want you to know that all of the babies, toddlers, kids and angsty teens you have helped grow into phenomenal adults love you too and are super grateful for all of the support and love you have shown to them. I know I'm super grateful! I couldn't have done diddly nothing without my Mom. THANKS MOM! I LOVE YOU!
This week it rained buckets. It rained cats and dogs. And it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Actually - not really all of those are exaggerations of the truth. But it did rain a lot this week. I can't even remember the last time I saw the sunshine. Well, other than right now. It finally stopped raining yesterday when the weather turned snowy and then cleared up quite nicely.
But in the rain, we continued to work. Thank goodness for a car - otherwise I would be exceedingly wet and cold. Sister Guymon and I did take the opportunity to dance around the church parking lot Friday night in the rain before we did our weekly planning. It was great fun. I LOVE RAIN SO MUCH! I probably would have stayed out there until I was soaked to the bone had we not had other things to do, and if our car didn't have a fabric interior.
This week was full of miracles! Aaron and Kendra came to church on Sunday with their two adorable kids. And they stayed for all 3 meetings. And they felt the Spirit. Laaaaaa! <----this is me singing in pure joy! It was the coolest experience ever! I am so happy that they came. Almost everything at church that was discussed was on the Book of Mormon and it's importance in our lives. It was amazing! I hope they will be able to come again soon.
Plus, Dillan blessed the sacrament for the first time. Gyah! I just love him so much! I am so proud of him. Seeing his dedication and love of the gospel and yet seeing how humble he is is SO cool! Anyone who looks at him can see how much he loves the Lord and how much the gospel has changed his life! I am so grateful that I was able to play a small role in his journey.
And Chris was at church too. We had a really good lesson with him Saturday night. He too feels the Spirit super strong! He wants to get baptized, he just needs to pray about and decide on a date. He can do it! He is super ready! I'm excited to see where this journey takes him.
Saturday we went to Cafe Rio for lunch and were surprised to see pretty much every member in Longmont there. :D not really but there were a decent amount of them. One family was kind enough to pay for us to eat and then invited us to sit with them - Brother and Sister Buhler. They are so cool! A year ago they were a senior couple serving in Spain. Currently they are in the Saddleback ward and are serving as the Stake wide Mission Prep instructors. That's how Sister Guymon and I met them was at Mission Prep one Sunday when we decided to go. Thank you Spirit for prompting us to go! They are the coolest ever! And you can tell just how much the missionaries mean to them. <3 It's so great! I just love them with all of my heart.
So, I think that's all of the really awesome and adventurous things to share with y'all this week.
OH! Sister Guymon and I are staying together another transfer. HUZZAH! I was sure I was going to be transferred, but they Lord has allowed me to stay here in Longmont. I'm so excited!
This transfer is going to be amazing! Not only is it going to be filled with some pretty darn amazing miracles, but it will also be exciting to watch the mission transition into being a tech mission when we get Ipads. I will be shocked if I get one, but it will be super awesome to see how it changes the dynamics of the mission and the work.
I LOVE THE GOSPEL SO MUCH!
Love,
Sister B
