Weekly Letter 10-27-14

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe it's already the start of week 5 of this transfer! The last couple of weeks have gone by so fast! Thankfully this week has been a little less eventful, though we did have one guy spray us with a hose. Never a boring day in mission life, seriously. :)

We've been doing a TON of tracting and contacting this week trying to look for new investigators! We've picked up a couple of new investigators, but we're hoping that this week we'll be able to find a solid family to teach.

This week we found out that most of Vacaville is haunted, haha. We were talking to a potential investigator and she was telling us about all of the paranormal activity going on on their street, and how all of those houses were built on a landfill...creepy! I've become a believer on my mission, stay away from the indian schools!! haha :)

I got to go back to Dixon on Saturday and see Cheryl get baptized! It was so exciting to see her make that commitment. She was so happy after she was baptized!

I love the ward members here in Vacaville! Last Monday a sister from another ward saw us checking out of WinCo and came up and payed for everything. She said that she had a daughter who was putting her papers in soon, and how she loves the missionaries. :) All of our ward members are so gun-ho on missionary work too! we've had so many members ask for Books of Mormon or pamphlets to hand out to friends and trying to share the gospel with everyone, it's great to see!

I hope that everyone is having a great week! I challenge all of you to read the Book of Mormon every day this week, even if it's just a couple of verses a day, and see how differently your week goes! do it! :)

Happy Halloween!

Love you all!

Love,
Sister Lesser

Mom:

Tell Grandpa to get better! Grandma says their going to Texas this week too! That sounds just like him...

Anyway, I'm glad that Dad and Tyson got back safe from hunting! I'm looking forward to that Jerky! Oh, poor daddy :( tell him to feel better! (and to make me some jerky, haha)

Mandee sent me some pictures of her costumes, they look good! You did a good job, like always :)  Also, whatever warm clothes are in mine or mandee's closets that I could possibly wear on a mission :) Thanks, love you lots!! have a great week!

Dad: 

What are you doing catching the flu?!?! Feel better, love you! :) hope you had lots of fun hunting! 

Mandee:

It sounds like you're doing awesome! That's great that everyone loves your voice so much, you should totally go pro! :) Why did they make it so you can only join productions or madrigals? That's a dumb rule! Which do you think you're going to go for? 

Thanks for finally telling me what day the play starts! (it took you long enough, haha!) November 14th is my 6 month mark, think of me while you're performing, I'll be there in spirit! Have a great week! Don't get sick! Take lots of airborn and essential oils :) Love you!

Tyson:

Congrats on the Deer! It sounds like you guys had tons of fun on your hunting trip! Make sure to send me lots of yummy jerky :)

How big is your deer? Are you going to hang it on your wall? How is school going? What has been the most exciting part of your week? 

Love you :)

Grandma Nanna:

Thanks for the letter and all of the pictures! I love seeing pictures of what's going on! So Tyson got a deer? How did everyone else do? Where did you go hunting at? That sounded like lots of fun :) 

Tell Marilyn happy Birthday for me! I'm jealous that you guys went to city creek! I'm glad you had lots of fun though! 

How is everything else going? How are the puppies? What are your plans for Halloween?

Love you, have a great week!

Grandma Bowcutt:

Yay, meet the Mormons!!! I love that movie! Elder Holland told all of the mission presidents that they had to show it to us, so we got to see it :) I love David Archuleta's song that he sings in it too :)

Tell Alicia congratulations on the new baby! That's so exciting! I haven't seen her in forever, I didn't even know she was pregnant! It's so weird to think that I've already been out 6 months! What's the baby's name?

I'm glad that you guys had a fun time at the Halloween party! I'm sad that I've missed it for two years in a row now! :( I'll make sure I'm there in 2016 :)

Have a great time in Texas! Take lots of pictures to send to me please :) Love you!!

PS Tell Grandpa to get better and to get that knee rested!
