President, halfway, springtime! April 21, 2014

Um, where did this week even go? I can't believe it's Monday again! It feels like I was just here. But hey! I'm not complaining! (: I'm glad to be emailing! YAY!

So ya, this week went by quickly. I can't even remember what happened..

I got to talk to President Porter on the phone this week! That was great! (: He is amazing. And super helpful. And full of inspiration and revelation. So I called him and had some things to tell him about, and then we started talking about my visa. I had mentioned to him a couple weeks ago in my email to him that I had been struggling with being out here. I was trying to figure out what I needed to do and where I needed to be. So I mentioned it to him to see what he said. And he responded that he loves me and that he needs me here. And that I am supposed to be serving a mission, that I'm doing what is right and I'm where I'm supposed to be. It was super comforting. I didn't mention much back after that, I just took his words and went on with my mission! And so on this phone call he said he was dying to know what I was thinking after he said that. Ha! So I told him he was right. And that I had been talking about it with my dad and that I should be here (Dad, I am so unbelievable grateful for all you do for me and help me with. Thank you. I love you). President then said that what I'm going through, with waiting for my visa, is very important and painful, and that he knows that, but he also knows that it will bring me much joy in my life. That I am learning so much here that will bless me in my life. He says that it's hard to see now, and he's not even sure why or how this will help me, but he knows that it's for a reason, that I will need the knowledge I'm gaining (and also the virtue of PATIENCE!) later on in my life. He said that it's tough, but that I am a gifted, brilliant and capable woman. He said that he's impressed and proud of how I've been handling it, and that if he was going through what I was that he couldn't handle it as well as I am (I think he's just saying that). (; He says that I obviously have much to do here in Ohio. So I'm gonna just keep working and trust in the Lord and know that he knows what he's doing. He knows better than I.. I guess (; I'm grateful for President Porter. And I'm also grateful for Dad. Because everything that President said, is exactly what Dad has told me. I'm surrounded by amazing Priesthood leaders! It's great! (:

Guess what?! Do you know what Thursday is?! ........ 9 months! AH! Can you believe it?! I'm halfway through my mission. Mind blown! I can't even believe that I have made it this far. All I have to do is do what I've already done and then I'm done! If that made any sense... I keep thinking about how Sydney is home for the summer. Then she goes to fall semester. Then I'm home! That's like no time at all! It's starting to scare me... I can't believe this! I'm freaking out a bit. I don't want it to come! Darn time. Haha. But it's exciting.

Here's a fun story! Kind of. Ha! Sister Lee bought some mouth numbing stuff because she bit her cheek real hard and it was hurting, so she bought something to help it. She gave me some just to try it out, so I numbed my tongue. Haha! Then we had the brilliant idea to see if when we put it on like chapstick if it numbed our lips. So we tried it! Oh gosh, it was hilarious. And it worked! It was a weird feeling! It reminded me of when I got my wisdom teeth out and thought I was fat. It felt like that. I thought my lips were huge! I couldn't feel them. So we had numb lips and went and knocked on someones door and I felt ridiculous. We couldn't talk very well. It was silly (: And fun!

It's spring time in Ohio! It's beautiful! The weather is great and trees are pretty! You know the trees that line our fence back in Oregon? I think they're pear trees.. Or something. I don't know. And they don't really smell super delicious? Well, I like them, it smells like childhood and playing in the backyard. But to others, it's kinda stinky. Sister Lee calls them "fish stick trees" cause that's what she thinks they smell like. Ha! Well, they're EVERYwhere here in Ohio! I cannot believe it! And this last week they all just exploded in blossoms! It was gorgeous! Although, they went quickly. They're already turning into leaves.. But they smelled like childhood and looked beautiful! Things are turning green here! Thank goodness. Everything looked dead before. Now it's living! Woohoo!

We got to check out YouTube yesterday, and on the home page, at the very top, the biggest ad, was the video "Because of Him!" WHAAAA?! COOL! Way to go church! It looked great! How exciting is that?! You guys. The work is hastening. It's begun! If you haven't seen that video yet, go watch. It's my favorite! I love it. I just think it's so cool (:

Well.... That's about it! Not much else happened. Just preaching the word and having fun (: The gospel is true, Christ lives, Joseph Smith is a prophet, the Book of Mormon is true, how blessed we are to know and have that in our lives. I loved being able to celebrate Easter! How blessed we are that Heavenly Father loves us so much that He gave His Son. And that Jesus Christ was so willing to lay down His life, for His friends, for us! And that we are able to repent and receive forgiveness and become better every day! Because of Him! It's a miracle. I love my Savior. He is always beside us, we are never alone.

I love you all SO much!

Send me mail! (:

Love,
Sister Clara Kay Dunn


P.S.
I guess the Easter Bunny doesn't like Ohio, cause I got nothin! (; But the members here in Milford are amazing! They gave us lots of candy. And now I feel sick. And fat. But it was delicious! We had dinner over at the Newberry's. It was fun. And the potatoes were delicious. She had family over, so it was fun to be with a bunch of family (: I hope your Easters all went well! I was thinking about you lots! I love you all so much! What a great and happy thought to know that we will be together forever! Yay! You're all stuck with me! (:
Amo vocĂȘs!

1.Pretty little place! So I got a picture in it! (:

2. Companionship! We asked a really nice old man to take our picture. He was cute. He was super shaky while trying to get it, and he took quite a few on accident. Then he told us that he and his wife took photos at that very spot with their family about 60 years ago! CUTE!

3. Pretty. Spring.

4. So Sister Lee and I are trying to plan a trip to the ZOO! YES! And I told her that I would love to ride an elephant. Or a giraffe! And she thought that was the funniest thing! To ride a giraffe. So she drew a picture of it. Hahah! Hopefully this will become real life when we go! (;

5.Saw this street sign and I made Sister Lee pull over so I could take a picture with it! Cool! Clarawill serve the Lord! (:



Well that's it. I love you (: All. Lots. And lots.
Thinking of you! And praying for you all too!

Food, famous, video (: April 14, 2014

Hello Family!

Today? I am emailing in the Family History Library! Fancy! (: And instead of looking up family history, I'm making it! Yay!

So.. Guess who had Five Guys this week?! .......... . . .... . .. .. .. ... .. ... .. ......... . . . ... ... .. .. . .. . .. ME! (: Uh yes. And it was super delicious! But then it was ruined by a creepy guy who started talking to us and asked what we thought about the women that work at night.. Uh.. CREEP! It was super weird and awkward, and kinda left a bad taste in our mouths.. But.. Five Guys is just so delicious, that it over powered it. Thank goodness! But it was delicious. Love it!

Also, I shook President Gordon B. Hinckley's son's hand! Ya I did! He was at our building and him and his wife went around and shook our hands and introduced ourselves, and then we found out that it was the son of President Hinckley! Cool! He even looked like his dad. It was exciting!

Okay. Ohio equals lots of nasty roadkill. Seriously! It's every where! And it's nasty. I do not like it. There are lots of dead squirrels and possums. Gross. And then! Sister Lee and I were driving and we saw a DEER! It was a full on deer lying on the side of the road in the ditch with it's neck broken and twisted backwards! I screamed! It was SO gross! And then the next day.. Another deer! This one was mauled a bit more and I saw muscle! And I just screamed! It was so gross! Oh gosh. Nasty.

My area covers quite a few trailer parks.. And they're not my favorite. They give me the willies. But we work in them. There was this guy playing the guitar, and we weren't going to talk to him, but then his friends kid started throwing rocks at us, so we decided, hey! ya, lets go talk to them! Haha. Well, the guy playing the guitar, Chris, was interested, and he didn't actually like in the trailer park but in some apartment in Milford, and he invited us back. So we went back the next day, and he didn't say which apartment number he was. But we just went and knocked on one of the doors and it was his! He has 5 children and is recently divorced, and we taught him and his children. It was incredible! The Spirit was strong. It was amazing. We went back the next day and taught more. Chris loved it. We're going back this week. I hope it works out. He's looking for happiness in all the wrong places, and he told us that he doesn't think it's a coincidence that we met in that trailer park. Amazing (:

An incredible video came out yesterday! It's called 'Because of Him." And on Easter, the church bought out the ad space on YouTube! CRAZY! Big deal right there. So we're wanting everyone to share it. It's really good! It can be found on momron.org. I was going to give you the link, but this computer isn't working quite right. So watch it and share it! It's really good, I love it!

(Click here to see the video Clara is talking about -----> http://easter.mormon.org/?cid=HPTU041514694)

That's about it. Sister Lee and I are working hard and having fun (: It's great!

Love you all!
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.

1.FIVE GUYS! Yummy.

2. Okay! Tender mercy right here! Walking down a trailer park road, and I look down and see a Brasilian flag! What?! It's just sitting there. We think it was from a soccer ball. But it was the greatest thing in the whole world! I was so happy! (: Maybe it's a sign!

3.The youth did a giant garage sale! They made $1000! We went an helped. The Chiapelli girls are adorable! They had a lemonade stand (: Natalie and Marina. I love them.

4. They wanted to make goofy faces (: They're so cute! Did I tell you that Marina, four years old, on the right, got the final 4 right in her bracket?! She was on Fox News! I wanna see it! So cute.

5. Sister Lee and I out in the boonies! (: It's been sunny and warm! And now it's rainy.. But still kinda warm!

6, 7. Just some pictures of good ol' Ohio!









Goodbyes, hello, conference, and popping. April 7, 2014

HELLO!

Well. Transfers were this week. Sister White left me... ): It was sad. I cried a lot. Ha! Classic. She told me not to, but that was a funny request! We all knew that wouldn't happen! Ha. I was doing really well, and then before we drove to transfers we knelt down for prayer and I offered to say it. And I say all my prayers in Portuguese, but this one I chose to say in English. I got in about 5 words and started bawling. But I got through the prayer and we both said amen and just looked at each other. Then we hugged. I love her so much. I was so sad to see her go.. The drive to transfers wasn't long enough. I just wanted to stay there. We were still just laughing and having fun and joking around. Then we got to transfers and she went and sat on the stand to say her departing testimony during the transfer meeting. Well, Elder Shirtz and Sister Beeson also gave departing testimonies because they were off to Brasil! Lets just say, I was a mess of tears! After the meeting I went up to Sister Beeson and hugged her and just started bawling! She's so cute. I just told her that I'm not sure how much longer I can do this and that I wish I was going to Brasil with her. She scolded me and said I can absolutely do this! And that we'll all be in Brasil together soon. She just said to keep pushing. I love her. I had kind of calmed down, then I went to Sister White and just started bawling while hugging her too! I love her so much! Man. Gosh dangit. So I was just a mess. Then an elder from my first area was there! That was happy, we're friends. He came up to me and asked if I had my visa. Ha! No.. He thought that's why I was crying. Haha! Nope. Just the opposite. So then Sister White and Sister Beeson and I kind of all hung around as long as we could before they had to leave... Then I was back to Milford to continue to work!

My new companion is Sister Lee. She has been out 14 months and was actually my Sister Training Leader! And so we were in the same zone, and she only hopped over districts. She was in her last area for 11 months! This is the longest I've been in one are, 3 months. Ha! But it's good. I had done an exchange with her in Milford, so she already knows a lot of the people here. She's a great missionary. She works hard and has fun. It's good (: I'm gonna learn lots from her. It's definitely weird adjusting though. I've never stayed in an area and received a new companion. It's somewhat strange. But we're figuring things out!

It's reallyy a lot stormy here. Like heavy rain, lightning and thunder. And I know understand the term, "rolling thunder." Didn't really get it before, and now I understand. It's just a long deep heavy thunder that lasts forever! It's scary.. But exciting! But everything is rain. It reminds me of Oregon (: It's a lot of fun, except that my boots don't keep water out... So that's no fun. My feet are wet a lot. It's just water though. And rather that than snow!

General Conference! Favorite thing ever! I LOVE conference weekend! And it was AMAZING! What great talks! I cannot wait for the Conference issue of the Ensign! My favorite was President Uchtdorf's talk. I went into Conference with questions and he answered them for me! I love when you feel like they're talking right at you. It's amazing. I did, however, miss our crepe tradition! It's crazy to think that everyone is somewhere else and so it's just mom and dad. So I hope you made crepes! Yum.

So Sister Lee had like a pinched nerve or something in her back, so we went to a member's house in Kentucky, who's a chiropractor to have him fix it. And he popped me too! First time ever going to a chiropractor! It was GREAT! Who knew that my neck could pop so much! I really needed a realignment. It felt SO good! He said that I should stop popping my own back and neck. So I'm gonna try that. But! He did say that popping my knuckles was okay! (: So yay! But it felt real good.

Does anyone remember the quote that we had by the kitchen walkway under that Peruvian picture that Dad had us memorize? I can't remember who it was from... Like C.S. Lewis or something. About trials. And it's not that they get easier, it's that we become stonger and can handle them. If someone could find that quote and send it to me, I'd be happy (:

That's about it! Know that I love you! Lots!

Sister Dunn

P.S. 2 General Conferences down on my mission, 1 more to go! Crazy! And before we know it, it'll be Mother's Day and I'll be calling home! AH! (:

LOVE YOU!


1.Right before the drive to transfers!

2. We're just best friends. It's hilarious! Milford, OH. January to April 2014. Best friends. Terminado e Branco! (Portuguese for 'done' and 'white')

3. Rock on Milford! (:


4. Milford, OH. January to April 2014. Best friends. Terminado e Branco! (Portuguese for 'done' and 'white')

5. A drawing Sister White made for me (: She's so cute and the best.

That's all for now! I love you!







News, baptism, and love. March 31, 2014

Hey family! Big week this was, big week!

So.. This last week Sister White will be going home.. Transfers are tomorrow, so she'll be leaving me tomorrow and flying home on Wednesday... ): It's the right thing. Everyone feels good about it. But it's just sad cause she's leaving everything. Like me. She's just leaving me. Our plans are for me to just join her, and go home with her, and then wait there for my visa and when I get it go to Brasil! YAY! I mentioned it to President in my email to him this week, so we'll see what he says! I'll bet he goes for it (; So because we knew that we enjoyed our last week together! And we did that by having a...

BAPTISM!

Linda was baptized this Saturday. It was great! It's been so neat to see her change and grow. It's been a miracle. Sister White and I had the opportunity to sing for her service! We sang, "Dear to the Heart of the Shepherd." It was so much fun! And we sounded really good together! It was good. When Linda came up out of the water, she just giggled! She laughed and had a huge smile on her face. It was the cutest thing ever! Then when she was changing she said that she hopes that Joe was watching. Joe was her husband who passed away about 6 years ago. It was sweet. And I know he was. We then got to talk more about temples. It was really neat!

So that's about it for this week. Sister White is leaving me and Linda was baptized and confirmed a member of Christ's church. It was a good way to finish off Sister White's service! (:

Transfers for me are: I am staying here in Milford and getting a new companion tomorrow! I'm nervous. Mainly because I knew Sister White was leaving and that I would have to start all over... Ugh. But it'll be good. Missions stretch people. I'm sure I'll learn lots!

Um! The Womans Broadcast was GREAT! Holy cow. How cool! And the talks were fabulous, and the video presentation totally made me cry! I loved it. But I have to admit. I really a whole lot missed mom. A lot. I just wanted to be sitting next to you. And I also wanted to hold your hand! I just started crying cause I missed you so much! Sad.. Ha. I just love you mom, you're great. And I look forward to the time I can hold your hand and give you hug! I'm excited for that (:

That's about it! Love you all! Thanks for the prayers!

Love,
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.

1.We're best friends! And we learned how to crochet and this is how we sat as we made our little projects. HA! Love her.


2. Seriously. Best friends (:


3. Linda May! In her cool hipster glasses! Yes!


4. All dressed in white, ready for baptism! What an honor to be a part of her conversion.


5. The Milford Crew! All those missionaries cover 1 ward! Can you believe that?! And it's a small ward. And that's our Ward Mission Leader to the left, Brother Scott Creer. Best WML EVER! He rocks it.


6. And this is the Milford District. And get this. All those missionaries, and we only cover 2 wards! WHA?!.. Crazy. I know. I can't believe it.


Love you all lots! Until next week! (:







Um batismo! frantic mission office ladies, dreams, disasters and more! March 24, 2014

Hello my dearest family!

Ready for the update of my week? Yay! This is probably the most favoritest part of your week, right here! (;

Guess what?! I'm just going to tell you, cause for me to wait for your guess and then to respond to tell you if you were right would take like 3 weeks. So I'll just skip all that and tell you! Linda is getting baptized this Saturday! (: It's a miracle! Really. About 3 weeks ago, she was not progressing, or understanding what we were teaching. We were close to dropping her.. But we didn't! We kept with her. And now look! She's getting baptized! I think it all happened when she decided that she could stay for all 3 hours of church. She had been to sacrament meeting about 4 times, and then one Sunday she said that she could finally stay for all 3 hours! And it made a difference. We went and met with her a couple days later, and she all of a sudden showed progression! She was understanding what we were teaching, she remembered things that we had taught her previously, and she was making changes in her life that brought her closer to her Father in Heaven. It's truly been a miracle. She is reading the Book of Mormon like crazy! She and I stay together, so it's kinda like I'm reading with her. And we're in Mosiah 10. She's doing great! She's cute, because she says that she can't always remember what she read, or fully understand, or keep all the "characters" in line, but she says that she feels the Spirit and likes reading. Neat! She's trying, and that's all the Lord asks of us. It's incredible. So she's getting baptized this Saturday (: I'm excited for her. This is really going to bless her life. Big deal right here.

I'm a missionary. And I help bring people to the waters of baptism. It's a blessing that I am able to do this.

Bahaha! So I get a call from the Mission Office, and they sound reallyy worried, and they ask me if I have a rash on my face and that I should have contacted our mission president's wife as soon as it happened! They were FAreaking out! Hahah! They thought I was having this terrible rash attack my face and that I was like dying! Uh.. no.. I'm alright. Ha. But it's funny, because since I mentioned it to you last week, it's starting to go away. It looks a bit better. So I'm gonna see if it kinda goes away. If it doesn't, I'm gonna contact our mission doctor, Doctor Dunn (uh... ya! The doctor is doctor Dunn! That's my name!), and have him set up an appointment for the dermatologist. Thanks mom for calling (: I now know what I need to do. You're the best mom in the world!

Went to Red Robin one day. That was delicious and happy!

I had the craziest dream a couple nights ago! Basically, Sydney was dying.. (I really hope that this isn't forshadowing life, cause usually my dreams do that.. So Sydney, you better be okay!) Well she was dying, and we all knew that it was coming up. But before you could die, the whole family had to go to the temple. And in my dream, that's how we were letting you go, to like pass on. So the whole family went through the temple together, and for Sydney, the transition of moving into the Celestial Room was her passing on.. And we all knew this. But we were all able to be in the Celestial Room together. And we stayed there for awhile, but then when it was time to go, everyone could leave but Sydney. And the whole time, it amazed me that we all knew and understood that this was how it worked. We were all at peace with it. And so we said our goodbyes and left. Then I woke up in a panic and I was afraid, and I missed you all so much. And more than anything I wanted to know that everything was okay. It was such a real dream, and it kind of put things into perspective. It was a neat thought as I look back on it, and peaceful when it was happening. But when I woke up I was worried. I hope everything is okay (: But there's my dream for you. I have crazy dreams! And seriously, a lot of them forshadow what is to happen. So that's why I was so nervous about this one.

Went to Walmart today. And me, being super buff, was carrying in my left hand my grocery bag (yes, just my one, I'm poor) and a gallon of water. And in my right hand a gallon of milk and a gallon of water. Two gallon jugs in one hand. Well I was buff for awhile, then my week forearms tried to adjust how I was holding and.... BAM! Dropped a jug of water. And it shattered. And spilled every where. Thank goodness it was the water and not the milk! I felt SO bad! But the people that worked there were so nice and funny. And we joked about it. Told them it was a free floor cleaning for them (; It was eventful.. Then the washing machine ate my money and it didn't even wash my clothes... SUCK! It's been an eventful day. Anxious to see what else it brings! Haha.

So that's my week (: Hope you enjoyed this "Update on Sister Dunn's Mission Life." It's not too exciting. But it's happening. It's been a rough week secretly. But I got letters from mom and a package from Lucy. And that made it happier. Thank you. I'm learning a lot about who I am, who I want to be, and how to handle situations and problems. Which is annoying at the time, but I know it'll help me later on in life.

Transfers are next Tuesday. So I'll find out if I'm staying or going next Monday (: Exciting! I have no idea, nor a guess. It'll be a surprise either way!

Love you all lots and lots!
Sister Clara Kay Dunn.

1. My Saint Patrick's day outfit (: I also wore a green cardigan, but had taken it off.

2. This is how I kill a spider! All cutesy. HA! That devil spider wouldn't die! I smashed it with the swiffer duster, then it crawled out from underneath it! And fell from off the ceiling. Then I couldn't find him.. Then I saw him move and squished him with the swiffer again and thought I had killed him. Then he started running AGAIN! I grabbed my shoe and smashed the crap out of it and told it to die! I do not like spiders.. If finally died. And I flushed the remains of him down the toilet. Ha!

3. This is the view from my desk! It's happy. Pictures of family and gospel things, and sticky notes with quotes and one liners that I like. I've started a thing where I will put up sticky notes with sayings and when I move areas I pack them all away and start over with new quotes that I find. It's neat to see how the quotes have changed and how some are similar (: It's helpful.

Sorry, didn't take lots of pictures this week. Not a lot happened.

Today is my 8 months! (: Yay! It went by real quickly. I can't believe it. In a month I'll be halfway done with my mission. CRAZY!

I love you all so much!
Sister Dunn.




Green, temple, singing, and progression. March 17, 2014

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! (: Don't worry guys, I'm wearing green. ALL green. Green shirt, cardigan, skirt, socks, necklace (courtesy of Tina Westlund) and eye shadow! Decked out! You better believe it! (;

And also. Happy Birthday Kylie! Hope your day is happy. I've been thinking about you this past week! (:

I forgot to tell you last week, but I'll tell you know, even though it's passed... I GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! (: Yepp. We went on Wednesday, and we went to the Columbus temple. It's a small one, so it was exactly like the Medford temple. Which was comforting, but also kind of sad. While sitting in the Celestial Room I just wanted to look over and see mom and dad sitting on the couch. But it never happened... So instead I sat and looked up at the chandelier in honor of dad. It was SO nice to be able to go, it was really a comfort and exactly what I needed. It was incredible. They showed the new new movie! And it was AMAZING! Oh my gosh. I thought the new one was good, but this new new one is great! I got so much out of it. It's cool cause each one has different aspects of what I get out of it. That sentence didn't make much sense.. My bad. ha. But it was great. Sister White and I were the last in the Celestial Room. I really didn't want to leave.. But eventually we had to. It was a great experience. I LOVE the temple. It's my favorite place. I'm glad I got to go. We'll get the chance to go every 6 months, so that'll have to hold me over until September (:

Then we had Zone Conference, which was amazing! I always learn so much! I love it. And Sister White and I had the opportunity to sing in the meeting! There were 4 of us girls, and we sang "Be Still My Soul." It was really pretty. And a lot of fun! I'm glad they asked me (:

Those were basically the 2 biggest things that happened this week! Oh! Wait! We have an investigator, Linda, and we've been working with her for about 2 months and she hasn't really been progressing. Then, all of a sudden, a miracle happened, our prayers were answered. She suddenly understood our teachings and remembered things we've taught and she showed progression! It was great! She is planning on being baptized on March 29 (: So we're working towards that! We're so excited. She's super sweet. She's about 65 and lives alone and in the same complex we live in. It's been neat to see this change in her. The church really is true and it blesses the lives of those it touches.

Hey, any news on my FBI clearance? It's been awhile, and so I'm hoping that it's come through. A girl told me that once hers went through that she got her visa not too long after. That doesn't make me anxious or anything! Hahah. So just let me know (:

Well! That's about it! Just know that I love you all SO much and you're all in my prayers (:

By the way. I'm doing good. I'm learning a lot about me and about who I want to be and how to handle myself. I've learned to just choose to be happy. Just be happy. It doesn't make since to wallow in my pain and be all "wo is me." Rather, I brush it off my shoulder and move on! It's been a real challenge, but real helpful! (: We endure to the end!

Love you all!
Sister Clara Kay Dunn
Irma Terminada (;

2. I shared with Sister White.

3. Shared a little tooo much obviously! (; Nah, I was just at the end of eating all of it.

4.Just being cute in the middle of the street on a very sunny day (: That was the cute old fashioned suitcase full of temple clothes from Sister Macy, the Relief Society President. She let me borrow them. It was cute (:

5. Sister White playing with a stick! It was a good stick. So we put it in our trunk and kept it. HA!

6 .Bahah! Mom! How was it getting a text at like 6 in the morning from a stranger with your daughter wearing a bath robe?! HAPPY! (: Sister Garcia came and forwarded your message and gave me a hug (: Sister White was being Mary Magdalene and I was a Nephite Woman. Or just comfy (;

7. So happy to be missionaries!
