The day the Prophet called me

I will let you know on Saturday about the companion size because I don't know if I am staying or being transferred yet. I'm hoping to stay for one more transfer because usually when Sister missionaries get in an area, they stay longer than Elders. I saw the pictures and it looked like you all had a lot of fun at Grandma Nielsons! Its so weird that Christmas is coming up so soon! I am still working on Breks Christmas present. But don't worry, I'll get it done! I did get the scarf and hats as well as the snow boots! The hats are a little big but they're warm so that's nice! It hasn't been too cold here though so I haven't had much need to wear the hats and scarfs too much yet. For Thanksgiving we went over to a members house (the Bakers). They actually moved in in August but are so involved with missionary work so that's really nice! We actually don't have a car this week so Sister Baker picked us up and we were able to enjoy a few hours of Thanksg...

Funny thing happened this week to me...the momma.  Here's the story and then her response. Momma down I was in and out of the house all morning finally when I was taking a bowl of milk to the babies the stairs came out from underneath me.  So the milk went flying all over the garbage can and I was laying on my back groaning. And guess who was the first responder?? Not Eric not Bode not even Brek. It was Cody of course with his nose in my face. He carefully licked all the spilt milk from my face and hands and body. I was ok but I asked Bode to help me get the steps back up and he’s like where are one of the legs?  Mmmm I don’t know. There were only 3 legs under the steps. Then here comes a sheepish Eric with the 4th leg in his hand. He had used it under the car to jack it up, he’s changing the tires from the gold to the iron. Yeah so he was going to remember to but the 4th leg back but forgot and so I had been balancing on a tripod the whole morning. No wonder ...

Hey mom!! It's snowing way more in Washington right now than here in Michigan! It is getting colder though so I'm not sure I'm too excited about that. We went out knocking in the pouring rain the other day and when I knocked on the door, I looked at Sister Carroll and she said that it would soon be time for us to go and get a ping pong ball to help us knock on the frozen doors! But, also a really funny experience that happened that same day... As we were knocking in the pouring rain, Sister Carrolls umbrella broke. So, we knocked one more house, got into our car and went to meijer to buy a new umbrella for her as well as some gloves. Once we pulled into a parking space, we both looked at each other and said that after buying her an umbrella, it would most likely have stopped raining by the time that we got out of the store. Well, we went in, bought an umbrella and some gloves, and walked outside... Into the sun. Yeah, Michigan weather is sometimes predictable. But, we did e...
