Week 16: Week One of Transfer Number Two

Hello everyone!

This week was rather uneventful after last week. The only real newsworthy things this week were the weather and our lessons.

So after the scorching heat, I think the weather realized it forgot about the April showers and that it shouldn't be summer quite yet, so it decided to turn the heat on the oven down a bit and cool it down with some rain. Sometimes that means downpour. We got caught in some rain a couple times throughout the week, sometimes with umbrellas, sometimes not. Thankfully, the one time it was bad and we didn't have umbrellas, a member gave us a small umbrella we struggled to fit under, but we were thankful nonetheless. On Sunday, we had decided to walk to church in the "light sprinkle" of rain. 10 minutes into our 45 minute walk I was soaked and I had water sloshing in and out of my shoes. We got to church and my hair was wild, curly and frizzy, I was drenched, and my feet were cold. All the International branch members Ubered so they were fine and the natives came to church after the rain stopped, so only Sister Sutton and I looked like a train wreck, and nobody said a thing about the obvious dishevelment.

We had another "lesson" with Olga this week. She is amazing and the only reason I say "lesson" is because she is a talker! She could go on for hours on end (she has had more near death experiences than anyone I ever met and she brings them up like it was just another casual day) and so we were only able to get two points in from our lesson, but honestly it was still a great lesson. This woman is so great and when we taught her about how proud Heavenly Father is of her, she got goosebumps. Yeah, that was the Spirit. It was so cool.

Sasha is doing great as always and is really excited for her baptism. She stayed for all three hours of church yesterday and that was awesome! She learned so much and even found out about Personal Progress and has a book now and wants to work on it. Also, somehow she's reading in Alma already. She's AMAZING.

That's all the time I have for today. I love you guys! Have a great week!

*Kaeleigh didn't have any pictures to send this week. Here is a picture of her zone prior to transfers:

Back row: Elder Uchytil, Elder Roberts, Brother Andrus, Brother Foley, Elder Read, Elder Hatch

Front row: Sister Sutton, Sister Andrus, Sister Foley, Sister Vehar

Mom- How old is Sasha? I had thought she was an adult. Maybe she’s a young woman.

Kaeleigh-She turns 32 tomorrow and has two kids. We told her that doing Personal Progress isn’t necessary for her, but that there is no harm in doing it, that she will only learn more doing it. She is soaking up this gospel like a SPONGE

Mom-Which new missionaries did you get in your area with transfers?

Kaeleigh-We got Elder Horton for Elder Hatch, and new office Elders Beckett and Dymock for our area. Sister Soucie is opening a new area in our zone now!
