November 04, 2013


General Email: 

What a long week this one was. It has definitely gotten colder. Some ward members took pity on us unprepared Sisters and gave us some warm wool socks, boots, and a scarf. I just bought a coat and gloves. I love those gloves. My hands are pretty happy too. Now to find water proof boots. I was told that if boots are not water proof, they only take you so far. Water proof is a must.
One of our investigators, Wendy, agreed to be baptized this month. We are all so excited for her. Her husband is a less active. They have a daughter who is four. I hope he can resolve his doubts, do the baptizing, and then they can go to the temple and be sealed! Woo! Eternal families! Hopefully that will all happen. Two of my recent converts have grown so much and moved. I miss them. One moved to Provo!!!! I told him I hoped to run into him after my mission. :D
I have been experiencing some health trials as of late. For the past two months my hair has been falling out, I have only slept the entire night twice, my back is aching, and my shoulder is having problems. My sleep has been getting worse and is taking me down emotionally. I'll have to talk to Mission Presidents wife and find a way to stop this. It's taking it's toll. I'm very tired all the time now, and it's really hard to smile. I'm working on it though!!! Something else has happened. My addiction to cookie dough is coming back. I bought a little. It was so tasty, but I shouldn't be eating cookies or cookie dough. So unhealthy. I'm going to get fat! Oh well. I'm working on it!!! It's so cold in the mornings that it's hard to run, especially because my back and sleep are giving me so much grief. Oh well. Things can only get better, right? All will be well. Have a great day!

A note from Lacey: Just want you to know that at this time while you are on your mission certain things that are going on in the world (or at least Provo)- 

  • The New-skin convention center just finished being built down on Center Street in Provo. 
  • The beggars are all back and I feel like they're on every corner.
  • We've been having the prettiest fall I think Utah has seen in years. 
  • The Governments was shut down for awhile, but is now back up and running. 
  • Nowadays the subject of being Gay is no longer people are ashamed of and hide, but instead they actually use it gain more popularity. 
  • Grandma and Grandpa are putting in tons of effort to prepare for their mission that they leave to Dec 31st
  • Missionary work is constantly increasing! 
  • BYU built something in between the law building and the Wilkinson Center so you can no longer drive down that road, and the construction as been ridiculous to get around.  
  • Provo seems to the up and coming place to live. 
  • They just found a 5 year old little girl in Greece with Blond hair and Blue Eyes living with a Gypsy family and they have no idea where she is from, but she doesn't belong to them. She was being used to beg because she was so cute. But they seriously can't figure out what country she is even from. Poor girl. 
And in a nutshell that's all I can think of that is going on right now.
