Dear Family & Friends,

Hey Hey, how is everyone up down and all-around - wherever you are?! haha :) Hope you are doing Great! I heard you are getting a couple of snow flurries up there.. HAHA! oh what a laugh! it is gonna snow till Christmas!So we had President Interviews this week and when we got there Sis. Reeves had a movie there for us... Planet Earth .. haha she was freaking out on how amazing it was - And it kind of was! The Video was about amazing things and creatures on the Earth and how great Gods creations are. Wow, I miss watching TV! but hey, it was good stuff. So Sis. Reeves gave a really good training to us on how much God really loves each and every one of us. She told us about how there daughter who was about 13 died about 3 years ago in a car accident and how she could still feel her daughters presence at hard times in her life. And that she knew that she would be able to see her again. It was really sad, I really don't know if I could be as strong as she was about it... Everone better stay SAFE at home!!!So happy day... Pres Reeves said that I could play card games like 5 Crowns - he basically said the only thing I can't play is poker and gambling. And I asked him about disney music and he said that it was fine. :) So wahoo for me - I will be sending you MY score-sheets!! Muahhahahaha! So this week has been good. I told you about Ruby Bonilla right.. If not then bah ram me! She said she wants to be baptized on this coming Saturday... but her inlaws are springing a surprize baby shower for her that day.. then she might go out of town.. but she said she for sure would the next week and anytime durring the week too........ lets just hope I'm here though.. and don't get transfered... [President Reeves said Pres. Monson wants missionaries to stay in an area for at least 6 months, but he will transfer me if he thinks he needs me somewhere else.. so I really don't know.. 50:50 {transfers are next monday} ~wahoo how many fun symbols can I put~]I'm still trying to get the hang of playing the piano... I really forgot everything!! UGHH! why did I ever quit? WHY!!!! President Miller was right on the money with what he said before he set me apart as a missionary.. Obedience is Everything! So I am striving to be the best that I can be and follow all the rules as best as I can so that I can have the Spirit with me!So I had no idea about how big my testimony/feelings were about the temple! We have been trying to activate this elderly woman so we can get her into the temple and sealed to her husband. So we went over and talked to her and she was having problems with excepting that she had to wear garments FOREVER.. haha we told her that she would be doing it to show her love for God, and she said that all she wanted to do was get in and get sealed than get out and never go again... It really made me feel bad about how she didn't even care about what the Temple means!! Well I hope all is well back at home.Hope you are having a great start of the summer!Good luck Nicole on the Race! You're my #1!! I'll be rooting for ya!Thanks again for all the prayers and everything you do for me, Stay safe!Love Elder McBride
