I Wouldn't Want To Be Anywhere Else

So sounds like you have had some fun this past week! Hahaha Oh Nik... What will we do with him?? I am so happy that I was able to hear about how he is doing. Oh and Dear Jace... I want a picture of you doing the fire dance! PRETTY PLEASE?!?! (Notice that I used pretty n front of the please... That means I am asking super nicely :) ) Have I mentioned that I really really miss all of our Provo adventures?? GARRETT HAWKINS. Yup, I really am serving in his ward and keep in contact with one of his friends who is totally adorable. She is brilliant! :) I got a letter from Mat Haskell! STEPH!!! I want to be there with you! Will you promise to tell me who wins the Utah vs BYU game?? I NEED TO KNOW!! Brigham City Temple with Mitch... Oh that was a great day!!!! I am just having oober amounts of fun lately and it really is sky rocketing my happiness!!

I really really miss you but on the bright side I am super happy and things are going great! :) Let's see... What to tell you about the mission so far. This past week we had 26 member lessons, which is a new record for us. That is actually really high and we are going to succeed past it! We also are teaching an awesome investigator who almost has a baptismal date. UMMMM..... We are going to go over on miles this month... Oops! We have already decided that we just need more miles because we cover two wards and we have less than everyone.. Hopefully our ZL's will get the picture. Soon.

Oh by the way.. I have eliminated cheese and milk from my diet.. My stomach stopped hurting and my headaches went away.. That means I am more than likely lactose intolerant... ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!! It's been so hard, since, well you know me, I drink a ton of milk. But all well I feel much better and all. I had the cool experience this morning to go to the sculpture gardens with a member and that was a blast! Yes a sculpture garden :) It was way fun and I got to be with two of the cutest little kids on the planet and Sister Ure. So it was a delightful experience. I really am in awe of what the Lord can do. Seriously his hand is in all things. Something that I have recognized more than anything out here though is that the Lord blesses so much and all he asks of us is to keep his commandments. That is so simple, yet so hard for us. But I know that when we do the simple things in life, the blessings poured out upon us reach much higher and bless us for eternity. I LOVE IT!! Steph, do you realize that a year ago today I had no idea I would be on a mission yet. Like I had no plans for one? Isn't it crazy how the Lord knows where he needs each of us and places people and opportunities in our path so that we are able to get where he needs us to be? I truly have such a testimony of the Lord knowing each of us individually. It has been shown to me more than once on my mission and I hope it continues to! I work so hard so that the Lord can shape me into the missionary I need to be. It's perfect. I have to go now because p-day is over at 6! But next week I shall have more updates for you :) I am having the time of my life and I really learn so much every day. I honestly love it. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else or do anything else at this time in my life. Talk to ya next week!

I love you and miss ya!!

I LOOOOOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!

HELLO ALL! :)

This week was transfers and I didn't get transferred! But I had an appointment with the doctor and BAM! On a diet :) Yes, I know what you all are thinking... I am going to be really bad at this whole diet thing. Well ya'll are right.. I totally am. I really can't do the whole diet thing... I am trying! But I just can't be on a diet!!

On to the work! We are sooooooooooooooooooooooo busy, like all the time! We barely have time to really do anything at all. It's been awesome! I LOOOOOVE BEING A MISSIONARY! Who knew that I would love this so much, SO intensely?? Sister Murray has been the best companion on the planet! she is amazing and her weaknesses are my strengths, then vice versa. so it truly has been great. We had the opportunity to teach SYC and that was superb! It was very spiritual and Sister Murray shared her conversion story. She is a convert of two years and no one else in her family is!

Today we are going to play kickball :) What else shall I tell ya'll.... sister Hoellein is still my friend out here and she wakes me up every morning to work out.. If I don't get up she punches me :) Yes, she truly is amazing... haha. The Ure's are an awesome family that is totally cool and they love us missionaries. They are members who pretty much are my favorite.. I know I shouldn't have favorites but I totally do :) OH and at Transfers.. Elder Bushnell is back! He was my district leader in the last area and now he is one of the Elders I work with. Yup, it's been fun. The weather has been pouring rain and very humid. It is awesome!! I love rain!! In fact, I love New Hampshire... I don't think there is anything else really to talk about... SO yeah!! I hope all is great!!! :)

LOVE, SISTER BOLDT!
