Hermana Drew: I Love the Church!

MOM!

Can I just say that I LOVE the pictures that you sent! I laughed to hard at the picture of all of the kids in the Easter egg hunt. The last time we took the picture there weren't any babies....our families are growing so much! It looks like you guys had a blast this weekend! I am so glad that you are doing fun things at home!

This week was a roller coaster! We had to close an elders house and spent 6 hours cleaning and getting everything moved. Our house right now is a little bit unorganized but cleaning helps me de stress and I love organizing things! It was a fun adventure and now we are spending time washing the blankets and pillows...by hand.....It is a lot of work!

Saturday night I really loved the Women's conference! I don´t know what happens with me every year but I always seem to forget who I am and as I go to the conference I realize that I am a daughter of God and I get a real big spiritual boost! The talks were amazing and I am really excited to watch the rest of conference this weekend!

Sunday we baptized Sandy! She is 14 years old and had been going to church for about a year and a half. The elders had been trying to get permission from her mom but had failed many times. As we got to her house to ask for permission, my companion and I just thought that we just need to share our testimonies and that is what we did. Every single one of us shared our testimonies and the mom finally gave the permission! It was a great experience! Her baptismal service was amazing and very spiritual! Sandy gave her testimony at the end and said that before she was just an investigator but now she can say that she is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! She is amazing and I am glad that we could grant her wish!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Elder Kennington is my District leader! He is a great leader and really encourages us to work as hard as we can! Actually he will be going home with me in July. And speaking of the plane ticket.....well it is a little too late to switch. They already bought it and should be sending me the information soon.

I am so happy that Julia will be getting married! And even more happy that she is waiting until I am home! I am excited that I will have the time to be a part of this special moment!

The church is true! The book is blue! I am Hermana Drew!

LOVE YOU!

To answer some of your questions, I am about 3 1/2 hours from the mission home. My area is actually pretty close to Tenancingo and Valle de Bravo.

I only want cards for my birthday! and maybe a new dress. but I just think some really great hand written cards would be great!

My house is small but great! I love it!
