Things in California are pretty good. On Saturday Jeremy Scott (our recent convert) got to baptize his oldest daughter Lily, which was super exciting. She's so cute, she bore her testimony at the baptism and talked about how grateful she is for the sister missionaries and how she can't wait to be a missionary just like us! Haha. She's already being a missionary, she invited a bunch of kids in her class to come and all of her non-member family members, and it was really cool. I gave the talk (It's amazing how I can talk to people everyday, but being asked to give the talk at a baptism still gives me a heart attack!) But it turned out well, and Lily's non-member grandpa came up to me afterwards and told me that he felt the spirit during my talk and thanked me for being a good example to Lily :)
The temple was beautiful. One of our recent converts, Shelley Davis, drove us there and did baptisms while we were in the session. It's a really neat experience, and the peace that was there was unbelievable! It was a good recharge of the spiritual batteries. This was the first time that I've gone to the temple in the mission field, so it was really exciting.
This week we set two baptismal dates with our investigators, Cheryl and Steve. Cheryl is this cute little old lady. She was raised completely without religion and doesn't know a thing about Jesus or anything, but she is slowly learning and she really feels the spirit. She loves coming to church and to baptisms. At Lily's baptism she couldn't stop crying, and she said that she couldn't wait to get baptized herself! :)
How's everything going back home? Is there anything new going on? How's the ward? Has anyone had any missionary moments or opportunities to serve lately?
Love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Lesser
Mom:
I'm glad Daddy got back safely. I love those names for the puppies! That's cool that about delta, I can't wait to travel the world :) I'm so glad that you guys had family home evening with Grandma and Grandpa and that Daren joined in! That's awesome! Family Home Evening really brings the family together.
Have you guys been having family prayer and scripture study? The Book of Mormon is so amazing, my testimony of it has grown so strong on my mission. I know that if you guys read it together as a family every night that you will grow closer together and have more peace and happiness in the home.
Did you say that you ordered the Christmas CD's? They haven't come yet, so I'm hoping that you either didn't order them or that you had them sent to the house.
Thanks, Love you lots!!
PS. They recently changed the rules of the mission due to some disobedience somewhere in the mission, so we can no longer check e-mails during the week, and we're not going to be on facebook for quite a while. Just so you know :)
Mandee:
I'm so glad that you had such a good week :) Haha, I'm sure that you guys will get better by the time you actually perform les mis :) That's cool that Amber Johnson won. Do you know anything about anyone my age getting married or going on missions and stuff? I found out that Jenica Christensen is engaged to Joe Burgan, that was pretty exciting. Keep me updated on this stuff!
I thought you were going to send me a video of your recital?
Be careful, driving is dangerous! I can't believe you're old enough to drive! That's insane!
Oh! I've decided that the summer after I get home I want to do a bike trip all the way around Bear Lake and I'm taking you with me! Prepare yourself!
Anyway, have a great week! Love you!
Daddy:
Hi! I'm glad that you made it back safely from California! I can't believe you were so close! You're right, my mission is flying by! I can't believe I've been out almost 4 months. I'm loving it out here and I've really felt my testimony grow. You know what they say, the most important person you convert on a mission is yourself!
How has hunting been going? How's work? Have you started building the house in Corrine yet? How is everyone doing?
Love you! Be safe! Have a great week!
Grandpa and Grandma Bowcutt:
I'm glad you guys made it to Arizona safely and that everyone's doing well! I can't believe that little Roeroe is walking already!! Crazy!! I hope that you have a safe trip to Waco!
That's so cool that you got to see that sister again :) It sounds like you guys are doing great and having lots of fun adventures! Do you have anymore fun plans coming up? Have you had any missionary experiences lately? Love you! Be safe!
