Hi Family!
How's everything going? Everything has been fantastic here! I've officially reached the 1 month mark as of Saturday! Elder Falabella from the quorum of the 70 came on Friday and now we're really pumped up and ready to work hard and work smart! We picked up like 4 new investigators this week, including this super cute family, the Scotts. It's a really cool story! A member from like Vacaville or something called us and was telling us about this guy that he works with who lives in Dixon and has been taking missionary discussions by phone. So we agreed to give him a call, and when we did Jeremy (the Scott dad) was like,"yeah I would love to meet you, can you come over now?" So we met him on Saturday, his whole family (a wife and 3 kids under age 8) came to church on Sunday, and then he texted us today and was like "I really loved church so much yesterday, I've never known something is so true in my life as this Gospel!" We were literally screaming! Things like that just don't happen in real life! but it did, and we're trying to figure out a baptismal date for them now :). The days are starting to all blend together, I'm half asleep most of the time, yet somehow manage to keep walking and preaching all day long. Hopefully it gets easier because this whole 6:30 thing is still really ridiculous. The ward here is super great, they are always wanting to help and feed the missionaries, and we have some of the best member missionaries I've ever seen here! We like to joke that Dixon is going to get translated like the city of Enoch soon, so if I stop replying to e-mails you'll know why :) Well, I hope everything is going great at home! How is everyone? How has your summer been so far? Any fun plans?
Mom:
Thanks! I will look forward to that package this week then. I'm serious though, I would love some cute t-shirts or something, all I have is sweaters and I'm melting! Just have mandee try them on if you ever get around to shopping or something :) I'm glad that everything is going okay and that your listings went through. Did you get the father's day card that I sent to dad? We have a new system on our I-pads, so I can read your e-mails every day, sadly I can't write back, but please let me know if you got it. How is everything going at home? Anything fun happening? How was father's day without dad? Have you been exercising? I've lost 5 lbs! Love you and hope everything is going well :)
Mandee:
Good to hear that you're keeping busy. My companion freaked at your towel picture, immodesty! :) Have you talked to your future husband again lately? Thanks for the picture of Titan, next time maybe a cuter one though :) Don't tell mom but I'm going to chop my hair off next week, I was going to do it this week but I didn't make an appointment in time! How is everything going? how have les mis practices been? what do you do at the practices? What are they for? Have a great summer! Use time wisely!
Kari:
Thanks for the card, I laughed like crazy! I'm glad everything has been going good for you guys and that you got the corn planted. I'm sad that I cant be there to husk it and wash it for hours this year ;) How has everything been going? Do you guys have any fun plans for the summer? Love you, keep in touch!
Libby:
It was so good to hear from you! Thanks so much for writing me and for keeping me in your prayers. How has everything been going? are you still in Florida? how is your family? Love you guys!
Grandma and Grandpa Bowcutt:
I'm super jealous! Tuacahn and musicals are things that I really do miss a lot. We were visiting one of the less active sisters in the ward, and she was telling us all about how she had gone to see Wicked that day for her son's graduation and for her birthday, it was so not fair! But all in good time I suppose. I'm trying to stay focused on the work, and I have been getting a lot better at talking to people and giving the lessons. I know that the Lord has been helping me and comforting me. I also know that I was sent here to Dixon (the greatest place in the mission!) and also to my companion, Sister Hamilton, for a reason. I'm not going to say that it's easy, because it's not, but it has been exactly what I needed to help me grow while not overwhelming me, and my companion is super patient and really cool, so it has been great. Thank you for all of the uplifting messages :) Has anything else fun happened? How many more people have been coming now that school is out? Love you guys, hope you're having fun in the heat too!
Love you lots!
