Dear Mommy!!

Haha transfers were this Wednesday!! Sooo guess what?? Elder Burton and I are staying in Reading for another 6 weeks! I’m happy we didn’t get moved. Our work isn’t finished together.. We are planning to work extra hard these next 6 weeks! We are doing a lot better towards obedience. It’s hard when you’re tired haha but it doesn’t bother me as much as it used to. I’m going to do better each day. I hope you are up when you get this email. So we were at a members house the other day talking about deep doctrine stuff.. He said a good book to buy is -(Encyclopedia Of Joseph Smiths Teaching- Larry E Dholl Donald Cannon) I was wondering if you could buy that and when I get home I could have it. You could read it as much as you want but when I get home it all mine :). Also my lips are getting really dry and they - (hurt real bad- napoleon) could you send me a couple of sticks of Softlips chapstick!! :D that would be great:) Also if it would be possible if you could send me 17 miracles... I miss that movie. So I will share a miracle with you okay. It’s a small one. Anyways we had an ex-change with the other missionaries so I ended up staying in Reading and Burton went to Woodley. I decided to knock some doors close to a member’s house. I said hey lets go down this street and before we do let’s say a prayer. We prayed that someone would let us in and we will begin teaching them and others they will let us plant that seed in their heart. We walked up to the 1st door and a lady came out of her house. She then let us come in and we taught her the Plan of Salvation. Her husband was very nice and she had 2 kids. They had a nice home. Usually the more well off of the people they choose not to listen, but they listened to us. She said she was going to read the pamphlet and get on the church website. She said come around Thursday sometime. So hopefully we will see what happens! Isn’t that cool :) others just asked us to come around some other time! I haven’t yet written it in my journal but I will today! I’m hoping all goes well with them :) 

I love you!
