Dear Family,
Honestly this was probably the busiest week i have had my entire
mission! we literally had a dinner every single night! and sometimes
lunch appointments too. we found three new investigators this week
that's higher than normal! we worked our little touches off this week
and it all paid off this Sunday. we went to go wake up an investigator
that was coming to church but as we drove up he walked out, we were
completely shocked, because we honestly weren't sure if he was talking
it at all seriously. he had steam coming from his head because he had
showered and blood on his chin from shaving that morning. he was in
his nicest clothes, and as he walked out i was once again felt like a
proud mother! i seriously wanted to start dancing right there in the
parking lot, i would have to if i didn't have my badge on, good thing,
eh? but we waited for his ride to show up, and he got ini the car and
we followed behind! he was the only investigator at Church as we were
expecting two to be there we were happy with just him being there! as
if that wasn't enough though three of the less active family's that we
visit showed up and the chapel was full this sunday it was amazing. we
spoke again the branch president called us saturday night becuase
someone else bailed, so we got to pick our topic and i literally hate
speaking in front of people i have realized i would rather sing in
front of people than speak and we all know how well i sing in front of
people, but it went well. it was a great week!! the only sad thing is
one of our members is sort of on her death bed, well thats what it
looks like she has gone into the hospital countless times and each
time comes back worse than before, just this morning she asked us to
sing her a hymn and it seemed to be the only thing to relieve her of
pain she feel asleep afterwards but shes been down for weeks now. if
you could all keep her in your prayers i and her family would
appreciate it, her name is Juanita Harrington. i worry for her, if she
passes i dont think i could stay in this area much longer. i will keep
little sophia in my prayers! i went to vist a farm last monday for
preparation day, and it reminded me of home a little, it was
definitely set up a lot different than ours but cows are still cows
right? ill send pictures. every thing is going extremly well here, and
it sounds like evryone continues to grow back home. i love you all!!
love Sister Hadley
