Erika's 5/29/17 Letter

I love you soooo much!!! And, I think as far as complaining goes, what I really want to cut is the mental laziness that comes from mental complaining. Especially in this heat! It's super easy to complain if I'm not watching it. We literally stepped outside the other day, and it was so humid and hot that my sunglasses fogged up immediately! I didn't even know that was possible! Ech. However, I am starting to like this humidity a bit, it's kinda nice. At least, that's what I'm telling myself....

The Smiths are still doing great! Getting baptized is Brody, his dad, Derrell, and Derrell’s mom, Ouida. The mom, Mary, said she's not quite ready yet, but she is okay with baptism, just not now. We're hoping that the next three weeks will help her, and she will be able to be baptized with her family after all. We'll be teaching them tonight about the priesthood, and that Darrell or Brody could baptize her after a few more weeks.

It's all looking so pretty up there! Man, that looks like it would have been so fun to work on. And I love the bear rock. It's Awesome! J Also, the shop looks great! And Garrett is such a trooper. I hope everything with school and his papers and stuff goes smoothly. Including the dentist! I loved going to Dr. Hull for my wisdom teeth, and I hope he can do Garrett's without having to go to a surgeon... ew. He's in my prayers that it will all work out smoothly... Man, y'all are going to be empty nesters soon if you don't watch it.

And no, I can't go on facebook.... haha. Memorial Day should be amazing. I love this day. Tell everyone how much I love them, and feel free to brag about me a bit - hahahaha JJJ enjoy the Dutch oven chicken!

I can't believe Reba secretly got married! ... I hope she and her husband have a successful marriage and that everything works out okay.

So, transfers are this week! As we expected, neither of us got transferred, however, we are whitewashing again!!! They're combining Trophy Club and Roanoke wards into one area, so now we have two wards. I've never done two wards before, so this will be a learning curve. Should be good! Plus, now we have all the learning to do with a new bishop and ward council. New members, and new ward mission leader. Not to mention all the extra investigators! I'm so excited!

Anyway, I hope you have a great week. I love you soooo much!
