Week #7

Hey Family!!!!!!

Thank you so much for your e-mails, Mom and Jace!!! It sound like everyone has a quite the week!!! Thank you mom for the fun Pixar stamps and for the box with the instant breakfast, bubbles and the shaker! Also THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the Cinnamon rolls! One of the sisters in our zone became sick on Sunday so intstead of going to breakfast that morning the rest of us sisters ate all of the cinnamon rolls. So they were very much needed, Thank You!. The nerf guns sound like fun and so do the stickers, also some fresh pinnapple or something like that would not be turned down.:) They food here just sits in your stomach like a lead balloon. It tastes okay but it always messes with me. I guess its just preparing me for Argentina!

So about Argentina, it is more and more for certain that we will be re-assigned. The travel office hasen't heard anything different. Brittany Pasquale said she heard they have stopped Visas entirely right now but I have heard so many different stories that I am just going to take what comes! I know that I will be going to Argentina some day but I may only have a year there. They really need missionaries down there and its just said that things a so messed up with the Visas. I just hope they works things out soon.

So I am so glad that you all have a great Mother's Day! Sounds like Sacrament meeting and the lessons in Church were great! It was weird being here and having the speakers in the Sunday night fireside talk about mother's but not getting to be with all of you.

Sunday was pretty great though, the only down size was that I have to give a talk in Sacrament meeting! We don't know until right after the sacrament prayers who will be giving a talk that day and I about died when I heard my name! it had been quite a rather difficult week previous and so I felt like I hadn't prepared as well I should have for my talk. I guess I did fine but there is a lot of room for improvement.

The Sunday night fireside was good, Brother Heaton spoke to us about where we need to have our investigators, and more importantly, ourselves look. He used the story of Moses and the Serpent on the Pole as his focus. So I really learned how simple and neccessary it is to look to The Savior. It was a great talk. That night we got to watch The Testaments!!!!! I was just a little excited for that.:) It is a good story except for the cheesy parts but it was a nice way to end the day with really driving home how much Jesus Christ has done for me.

On tuesday guess what............ Elder L. Tom Perry came and gave us the Devotional!!!! Ok I may just need to brag for a second. That is number 5!!!!!!:) He did an Awesome job. Since it was May 15, he talked about how the Priesthood had been restored exactly 183 years earlier. It was a great talk and his testimony was so Powerful and Sincere. They Devotional Review that we had after was also great! I love hearing my districts testimonies and the things that stuck out to them in the Devotional.

So last night as we got back to residency the fire alarm went off. I don't know if I told you all but my first few weeks here they alarm went off at 2 in the morning. It was so cold outside! I was just glad this time it happened at 9:30 at night. So I am sleeping this morning and all of a sudden I hear a light turn on and my companion Hna. Morgan basically yell at us, "Get up! We are late for the Temple!" I look at my clock and I said, "Hermana, its 4:40 in the morning!!!!" she then said, "oh, okay" and she went back to bed. She had heard someone moving in their sleep and so she look at her clock and saw that it was 40 on the minutes and assumed that we had slept in. It was quite funny but she was so mad when she thought we had slept in.

Well I loved hearing about the garden. It sounds like it is going to be beautiful this year, I hope that we have a wet summer. I hope you all have a great weekend and tell Derek and Kimberly to enjoy pelican and I hope dad can go up there with them! Enjoy the week with Uncle Bob and Mom, have a great last week in School! I hope everything goes great!

Thank you all for your wonder letters and for your words of love and advice. They really mean a lot to me! I hope you all have a great week and that maybe Kenai has a bath in sometime in his future! Give everyone lots of love from me!!!!

Love,

Hna. Alayna Flack
