June 30th- July 7th (LOTS of pictures!!!)

Hello all! How are y'all? I hope well!
I also hope you had a great week too.
Sister laws and I had such a good week! So many miracles happened. And
lots of photos to share with you guys. I took lots of pictures.
Monday, typical preparation day. Shopped, emailed, played volleyball.
All of the good stuff. It was a way good day! Sister laws and I got a
lot done, and then around 6:30pm we had a lesson with the Avery
family. We watched the restoration with them, which was really good!
Then after that we took care of some last minute stuff for Ashley's
baptism! Then planned.

Tuesday, July 1st.
A bit slow compared to the rest of the week, but it was still really
good. We had a lesson with cris, one of our investigators, and it was
a great lesson on why we really need the savior. Why he was the chosen
one. Did a lot of phone calls. And just planned for the night. Slow
day, but got a lot done.

Wednesday, July 2nd.
We had district meeting with our wonderful district. It was one of the
last ones before transfer calls. Then lunch then more finding...which
was really good.
Then we had an awesome lesson with tony, a friend of the Toveys, and
he is doing so well! We invited him to pray for a date for baptism and
he is going to be thinking about it...he has already agreed to the
idea of being baptized too! So that was fun!
Then we had dinner with the turners and it was good! Then we had some
awesome contacts with some members then planned.

Thursday, July 3rd.
It was super busy.
We had a lesson with Dottie, which was so good. She is doing well!
Then we had lunch, and updated everything in the Areabook.
Then we had a lesson with marque, a LA we are working with, and it was
a great read from the Book of Mormon. We also made more phone calls
and invited a lot of people to the baptism and went by to see most of
the people we have been blessed to work with. So that was really fun!
Then the night routine.

Friday, July 4th! It was such a GREAT DAY! So many miracles happened
and we got to spend a lot of time with investigators and members. We
got some really good pictures too!
Got to do some planning done too lol of course being a missionary has
it perks...we get to plan and serve The Lord while celebrating our
freedom in this wonderful country. It was such a great experience.
Then we had dinner with Avery's, Ashley's family, and got to meet her
cousin...Johnny who baptized her. We got to meet their family and
spend some part of the holiday with them! It was really good!
Then after that we were invited to go to a members house for a dessert
party. And we got to meet a bunch of people. Then went to the another
members house to start their fast with them so it was really good. We
also finalized everything for the baptism for Ashley on Saturday. And
then planned so that was our day! Lots of pictures.

Saturday, July 5th. BIG DAY GUYS.
We had so many good things happen.
Morning was making calls, getting ready, and then around noon we went
to the church to help set up everything for the baptism with the Avery
family, got Ashley ready, and then took pictures. THATS A MUST. Lots
of good pictures. Then sister laws and I, were given the chance to
give talks and that was really fun. There was at least 35-40 people
there, and it was such a big turnout. It was a beautiful baptism and
it was such a great experience to witness someone coming closer to
Christ. Then we all hung out for a little bit, got more pictures. AND.
we had some friends show up too! Remember, my last companion....sister
dyson? Well, she came to Ashely's baptism before she left to go home
tomorrow. So it was like a little reunion. And a bunch of other
sisters came too! So it was such a good treat.
Then after baptism, we went to a park in in Magalia with the Holmes
and they showed us around. SO MANY GOOD PICTURES. It was beautiful
park.
Then had dinner, and then planned. It was a great day!

Sunday, July 6th.
We had a really great church service. The brooks weren't there, but
the Avery's were. And Ashley was able to be confirmed so it was such a
great day! 3 people came to church, as well as a lot of members who
came back from vacation so it was such a great day.
Then went and visited more people. Then waited for transfer calls. I'm
staying....I'm surprised. Laws is getting transferred to cottonwood.
And I'm going to be serving with sister light. So a new adventure and
another chance to serve in paradise. Been here for 6 months, and now
I'll be here for another 6 weeks!
I loved serving with sister laws she is legit! I know she will do well
in her next area. And I love her so much!

And then Monday, July 7th.
Typical p-day.  It's going to be fun! Transfer day is tomorrow.  So
well be traveling. Fun. Will let ya know how it goes.
Time is short. Love you guys and pray for you guys always!
Until next week!
Sister matchett :)
