I as able to have an interview with President Brough yesterday. HOLY COW: That man. He is powerful.

Here is the letter I just got this morning for this week! No photos - her camera isn't working! SO SAD! I hate that, and only 6 months in to her time! We will try and work that out!!

HAHAHAHA these fotos! I'm dying! so funny! But I like them!! Seriously it was SOOO fun to talk to you guys Sunday! I like this whole Skype thing. So fun!! Mom, hope you had a great day. I love you so much and I am so grateful for everything!! LOVE YOUUU!!

Hello,
I sent this at 7:30, but had the "Email # 28" wrong! So I resent it and fixed the photos too! Hope the work better!

I only received one email from you...but its all good, cause i received one. My companion hasn't received an email from her family in 2 weeks!!

Well, here you are on our end. This is what we did the whole time we talked to you. Funny photos Julie took for us.
photo 10---One with Grandma
photos 4 and 5---Two of my favorites
Photo 14---with Dad and I
photo 8---with Spencer
Photo 16---I wanted to send this to her mom, but I don't have her phone number or email anymore. an you remember her blog address? Dad just commented that we didn't know she was there with you. That's so fun.

I only got 6 fotos!  (That was all I sent!)

That Skype thing was awesome. I liked that. I didn't like only 40 minutes though. We got spoiled with Spencer. We never knew about time restraints. I did get an email the day after we talked and it said an hour i think, but we didn't know that ahead of time. Most people got an hour to talk or Skype I think. Morgan Evans called at 7 am. Holy cow, time differences.

In the white handbook it says 30-40 minutes...so thats why! I didn't like how fast it went, but it was still soo fun!!

Has Amy (Hermana Funk) moved yet?

No, still with us! Which is great, because she keeps me sane sometimes! Hahahaha we have fun together!!

I cannot stand that your camera isn't working. I will pray for your camera!! That's weird, I know, but I will. I'm so sad about it. I hope you can find one that will work. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE YOU SD CARD AND IF YOU BUY A NEW ONE, MAKE SURE IT IS AN SD CARD CAMERA. Have your companion make sure you aren't paying too much cuz your white!!!!

Ya, she will help me out with that, i am sure. but tomorrow for p day i think we are gong to a mall, so i will check it out and see what i can find. I am praying for my camera too. 

Have you been to the temple for the sealing yet? That will be so great! Can't wait to hear about it.

It is supposed to be the 21st of May. Who knows if it will really happen. (Her companions family is supposed to come and be sealed in the Guatemala temple and Morgan gets to go!)

Tell us about your week. I didn't even ask. I didn't feel like we had time. I wanted to you to be able to talk to Alex before he leaves, so I invited them to come over. I was glad. That was fun. I liked it. I hope that was okay with you. He said, when he left, okay, one year and you guys have to be at my house doing the same thing. Fun!!

He is so great. I am so glad he is so excited! It makes me so happy! Yes it was great to talk to all of them!! Give Blake a hard time for me...hahaha

I think the greatest thing was when you got some others to sing Happy Birthday with you to grandpa!! Thanks for doing that. It was perfect. I think he liked that. We had them for dinner later too, but it was fun for you to take time to sing to him.

It was fun. Give him a hug for me!!

Jeremy had his last Granite Youth Symphony concert. It was awesome. I went to the dance concert for Evergreen at 6 and it ended at about 7, when Jeremy's started so I ran to Taylorsville and was very glad I did. He did a great job. He had some solos he "forgot" to tell me about! The last song was from a movie it was better than sitting in a movie theater listening to it. 

Take care. Stay slathered in bug spray. Does the Terra Shield work for mosquitoes or just for bugs in the house, etc? I will forward the shoes as soon as I get them from Karen. Wish I knew someone who was going there who could take them for us.

I have been a bit better with the bugs...i try my hardest to remember bug spray...but with the rain coming, i need to be even better!!

We have had a cold week, even snow this past week in Cedar City. It has been crazy. It has been raining like crazy too. I don't think you have been cold.

No, we have had good weather! The rain will start soon though, and wont stop for 6 months!! hhahah

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Take care of Morgan. Be safe! Can't wait to send those shoes - Thanks, Aunt Karen!!!

LOVE YOU ALL!!! Thanks for talking to me yesterday! I loved it! You are all amazing. I am so grateful and feel so blessed to have a family like you. My companion said, I didn't understand what your family was saying but they are fun, and I can tell you love them!! 

Love, Mom

This week was kind of crazy. I as able to have an interview with President Brough yesterday. HOLY COW: That man. He is powerful. He started out and just thanked me for coming in to the mission diligent. He said that is something that lots of missionaries have to be taught, but that I will be blessed and my family for the eternities for my diligence. He told me he knows I can push my companion to be better and committed me to doing it. He helped me understand a little bit more about faith and hope. He is just a powerful man. I am sad he is ending his mission. He and his wife will leave june 27.....i think. You guys should go to their homecoming. I will let you know when and where. I think kaysville....i think!! 

My companion went to the doctor with Hermana Newman so I was able to do divisions in my area with the companion of the nurse. Hermana Tobar from Guartemala. It was a great day. It was only from the morning until like 2 in the afternoon. And in this time we had more lessons that I have ever had with my companion the whole time i have been with her. It felt SO good!! I felt like i was finally working how i want to work and how i feel like the savior wants me to work.

As for Christian, our investigator, he is doing great. Its kind of hard to get to him to teach. He lives about 15 minutes from us...in bus...so we do divisions to get to him, and its not very efficient. We are going to change the way we do things, because thats not working out too well. But he is great. 

President Brough told my companion that she will be leaving the area this next transfer and that means i get to stay. I am so glad. I feel like there are so many things I have to do here in this area, and I am excited to be able to stay. I LOVE THIS AREA. the members, and my investigators. I feel so grateful!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Keep being amazing. Please tell me you are doing your noche de hogares...aka family nights, and reading and praying together! PLEASE TELL ME!!

LOVE YOU!!!
HERMANA OLIPHANT
