We have been busy, busy, busy this week! It was certainly a roller coaster week. I am sorry, but this will be a quick e-mail because we are running a little behind. We have really been trying hard to talk to people this week about the gospel, which means a lot of tracting, but we have certainly been blessed for our efforts in some ways, even if we don't have any new investigators yet. We met with all of our regular investigators this week and that is amazing. I don't know; it feels like I had a million things to write this week, but suddenly I can't remember any of them. We tracted into some Jehovah's Witnesses who were actually willing to sit down with us. Usually they just try to get us to leave and won't accept our pamphlets or anything. But these ones actually took a copy of the Book of Mormon. Of course, they ended up doing most of the talking and would hardly let us get a word in edgewise.
Strange to hear about all the rain and lighting in Idaho, because we usually have a lot but for the last week it was mostly dry. It did rain for about twenty minutes on Saturday, but other than that, Sister Layton hadn't seen any Texas rain. She enjoyed it; she even wanted to get out of the car and run around in it, but we were enjoying a Sonic drink because Saturday was also her one month on the mission mark.
Okay, I just remembered something exciting to tell you. This weekend is stake conference for the Katy Texas Stake, and we have a special guest coming. You might even say a special witness. Elder Bednar will be here, and he is even having a special meeting for investigators and recent converts. I have no idea what he is going to say, but it is incredibly exciting. I'll keep you posted about what he says. I'm looking forward to it.
Yes, I am a trainer. I don't know; I never mention it like that because I know that trainers are no more important than any other missionaries. Sometimes it is tempting to think that training is more important because, especially for sisters, there aren't really any other official "leadership" positions. But I'm just glad President Hansen and the Lord feel they can trust me with someone who has such fresh passion and faith for missionary work, because it certainly helps me become a better missionary.
Man, it feels like there are so many more things to say, but I can't remember any of them. I'll just have to write you a letter this week and tell you what they are after I review my journal. Good to know Cody is doing great. I knew he would be. Is his address still the same? I haven't heard from him since he officially became Elder Jardine. I do like the dog's name, but you have to remember that I thought it's name was Spin for three days, so it was kind of a sudden change for me, and at that point I didn't even know what kind of dog it was. I can still hardly believe we have one. Weird.
Love you all, and sorry I can't write more. This will be an incredibly disappointing e-mail.
