Woo Hoo!!!

Yay for pictures...I hope it isn't too big for the e-mail. The first pic is of Sis. Ewing and I when I picked her up from Richmond. The second is at the Princess Anne Chapel with my posterity! :) The third is from Paton's baptism. I don't know if I already sent this one. But the 4th is from my 1 year mark. Those are two elders that came out with me. We had zone meeting on our one year mark. The next is Sis. Ewing and I because her one month mark was on my one year mark! How cool is that?! And the last one is of Sis. James and I! (She is my step granddaughter!!!) She is Sis. Moss' new companion.

Anyway, I hope that is fun. We had a great week!!!! It has been a rough past couple of days... We had to drop a couple investigators and a couple dropped us. But we all feel that it is preparing us for something great! We were investing a lot of time into them and maybe the Lord needs us out finding more to find the elect who will recognize us as servants of the Lord!

We are pretty excited about what is about to happen...we don't know what it is, but we feel it.

Things are going well with the trio! I love trios. Training in a trio is interesting and hard, but it is good. I am grateful to have been able to train before so that I can recognize what is harder and make adjustments. This week we are focusing on teaching in greater unity. Sis. H and I had really started to get used to each other and now things are totally different...great, but different!

The ward here is soooooooo amazing!!! I feel so blessed to be able to serve in this ward. I have never seen a ward so willing and open to be a part of the work and not just feed the missionaries! They are concerned about the work and want to be a part of it! I LOVE IT!!!!!! I really hope that I get to finish my mission here!

Well, I don't really know what else is going on here.

I read the first part about Sam's e-mail. I totally know how that feels to question yourself even though you know that you are doing all you can do. It is hard. Does he have the talk Rise to your call from Pres. Eyring? If not, that would be a good one to send him. I find that I read it at least once every 2 weeks if not more often.

I hope that ya'lls missionary experiences are booming! Remember-- members are the full-time finders!!

Love,
Sister Abbott
