Sounds like you had a good week despite! I'm glad things turned out okay with your hotel and all. That's fun that the kids were able to come and go swimming there, I'm sure they enjoyed. That's great that Jaman is getting more and more used to you and wanting to play more! It seems like he is really coming out of his shell a lot. That stinks that your not looking forward to education week as much, but understandable with all that is going on! It's some busy times that's for sure! Hall's class on Nibley I'm sure will be excellent! That's fun that one of your trainees is LDS. Did you get a chance to talk to him much? I'm glad they were catching on pretty well and ended up being better than you expeceted. That's one good thing about expecting them to be awful, is that you can be pleasantly surprised if they aren't! I am starting to be from the middle east! DAH!!! scary huh! Next thing you know I'll be saying rubbish (I actually haven't heard that one yet!) and couple three! It's funny how different it is here. That's fun mom and Tracy are going to Disneyland, are they going for the whole week?! I enjoyed your thought this week, it is clear who we should follow and that we need to be like the widow and not hesitate, but know that the Lord will provide and if we are quick to listen and obey then things will work out just like they should! Sometimes that one is hard to remember though, so thank you for the reminder! This week has been good, I found out today I am not getting transfered and neither is Sister Hansen, but we are getting a new companion so I'll be in a 3 again! So it should be interesting, hopefully it turns out well! I'm excited that I'm not moving, with Bob's baptism lined up for the 28th and Sister Pruett hopefully being able to go to the Temple in the next few weeks and guess what....we finally got back ahold of Mary Beth!! I am so excited! She is doing a lot better, she quit her job and got a new one and will now be back to church everyweek. She just got her recommend for the Temple and for her Patriarchal Blessing. She appologized to us for everything and we had a nice talk with her. She came this past Sunday to church and just gave us the biggest hug, we needed it!! It was great to see that everything is getting better for her and that she wasn't upset with us at all. We took Bob to a Baptism this week, but the members who took us were late and so we missed the actual Baptism part, but made it for one of the talks so at least he was able to meet a few people. We had him talk to the man who got Baptized as well, so it was still a good experience. So it has been a pretty good week over all things are going well. So I hope that your week goes well this week! I love you Daddy! Love, Leslie


Hello Momma! Well I forgot to say in Dad's email that we will be having p-day on wednesdays every 6th week! So that will be something to keep you on your toes. I don't quite understand, but whatever it works! So that's why I am emailing today and will be every 6th week on Wednesday. We are going to Nauvoo today!!!!!! Yay! Heidi one of the new girls in the ward for the summer who has been coming with us to Bob's appts is taking us down there. We are going to go to the Temple, Carthage and to the Pagent! We are soo excited! And I will hopefully be able to run in to Sister Miller! What a great day! I was nervous about this transfer because I had the same thoughts, I could see myself staying and going so I didn't know what to expect. But I will end up serving almost 7 months here in Peoria, I love it! I'm grateful for that.  I'm glad that your primary lesson went well, I will be excited to hear about it from your letter. Your "Women of the Old Testament" Book sounds really good, I'll maybe have to borrow that one from you when I get back it sounds great. I love Preach My Gospel, I haven't studied "earnest" yet out of there I will have to look that up and perhaps study that tomorrow for my morning studies! I set a goal to be done with the Book of Mormon by the end of Aug! It shouldn't be a problem as I am almost through Alma, I think I am in ch.46. I like what you said about how the Lord gives us the Holy Ghost to show us or as evidance that He will fulfill His promises in this life and the next! That is beautiful. I hope you had/have fun in Disneyland, be safe! I love you! Love, Leslie
