Dear Family,

WHAT. A. WEEK. Miracles all over the place, i wont share them all

because i don't have enough time for that, but there is this special

miracle i want to share. Her name is Wendy. Her story goes like this;

        One day two months ago when sister cross and i went on

exchanges she and sister arksey (her companion for the day) ran into a

woman named Wendy who was connected to a whole chain of people they

met that day. so when i got back sister cross and i we set up

appointments with these people but none of them held, they all bombed.

So we continued to call Wendy but we finally gave up because she would

never answer. Transfers came and sister cross left as well as all the

phone numbers of people we met on the street including Wendy's. But

one day i got this brilliant idea that we should tract this street

called Boswell because i have never been there and there were lots of

houses stacked in a row. Sister Ogden had this brilliant idea that we

should do surveys so we meshed it together and went to Boswell street

to do surveys. we stop in front of this random house that looks vacant

as we think that no one lives there we see clothes stacked in boxes

and knock on the door anyways for hope that someone will answer. a

woman comes to the window and shouts SIDE DOOR! so we go around to the

side and as soon as she opens the door she says come in come in, and

we chuckle and say well alright then! we get in and ask her name and

she replys Wendy, and i think to myself why is that sound so

familiar... she blurts out haven't i seen you two before and i say not

us but did you meet maybe a sister cross? and she says yes that was

it! and i couldn't believe it we finally made contact with Wendy! she

was so excited to come to church this week but couldn't due to her

husband landing in the hospital but she will be there next week, shes

such a character and fun to teach! The end. But what a miracle, eh?

This week really was amazing Friday the Harrington's, a family that

has become my family away from home, threw me a dinner party, they got

me a cake and everything. it was so sweet of them. Saturday  i watched

the women;s conference and never in my life have i felt so much love.

the top of my head to the tip of my toes was tingling when everyone

sang the second verse to teach me to walk in the light and it stopped

after the verse. it was the best feeling ever and it was so neat to

see all women of all ages at the conference center. IT was absolutely

amazing. sunday was a bit rough becuase i havebeen trying to get over

a cold and it all caught up with me by the end of the week but

nevertheless we were able to see miracles that day as well as we got

into the home of a woman who never comes out to chruch and comitted

her to coming next week for conference, so hopefully she will be

there!! IT was a good week but the best is yet to come!

you all sound like you are doing great! did sharia tryout for cheer?

how did that go? hows tennis going for pat?

LOVE YOU ALL!!

Love Sister Hadley
