Wed, 5 Aug 2009: Yeah, yeah.

Dear everybody,

I'm feeling lazy today, so you can just read my letter to the pres again.

"Dear President Beck,

Baptized/Confirmed: 1
Baptismal Date: 1
At Church: 7
Member Present Lessons: 0
New Investigators: 3

Tracting: 4 h 30 m
Lessons: 24
LA/RC Lessons: 4

This week has been good I think. I am really happy with studying at night--I think it will really help in the long run. I still have to get used to the schedule change though. [I had my morning schedule changed by the way--now I do personal study at night because of my medication, it's easier.]

The baptism went off perfectly--the Goodyear ward is really going to take care of this kid. He's 12, no real family, and they're all coming together to become his family. Someone took him to get school supplies, he has rides to mutual and church. . . It's a beautiful thing. Just so you know, the Goodyear ward is probably the best ward in the mission--my personal opinion. They really know what it's like to be as Zion--of one heart and one mind, dwelling in righteousness and taking care of any poor among them until there is none. This has been an amazing example to me.

President, just so you know, I know that you are called of God and that all the news on changes and things will be determined by revelation. I do hope that Hna. Walker and I get to stay together for her last transfer here in this area, but I understand that the Lord knows better than I do. So I accept whatever call you send us. [we're getting a surprise Hermana coming in this transfer, so everything is up in the air--she wasn't supposed to come til September, but I guess she's too smart to stay in the MTC. . .]

On that note, I have been working to try to rebuild Rio Vista. In our correlation meeting last night I realized that there is a lot of potential brimming right now for investigators and solid baptisms--it's all on the brink! We have a lot of people we have been working with that I feel will be able to continue to baptism. So Rio Vista, I believe, is in a good place.

Thank you for you love and support, I really feel it and appreciate it. This is not an easy life, but I do believe that I can do it.

We'll see you at the mission conference. Say hi to Sister Beck! And to the office staff.

Sincerely,
Hna. Crowley"

That's pretty much it. We had a delicious breakfast with the zone this morning, and went to a goodbye get-together for Hna. Corless--that's right--my momma's going home! Next week! Then Hna. Walker goes home in September, and then the next shift might be me. . . Weird. . . .

Anyway, I'm going to go. The computer makes me tired. Peace out.

Love,
Hna. Crowley.
