It sounds like things are going great at home. You all sound very busy. Especially the Curtis's with the new baby. He is SOOOOO cute! Wow mom it sounds like you had quite the experience on Saturday, you gotta love travel. Did you ever find your luggage? I'm glad you arrived safely. Have you enjoyed this wonderful weather we are having? It's been pretty cold up north but it's warming up. It's suppose to be in the 50's later this week with a lot of rain.
As for things in the Ohio. It's transfer week. Sister Larson and I will be staying together so that's fun. We have a lot to do for our area. We have big plans. There is only one sister going home Sister Tokunaga from Hawaii. She is amazing and will be missed in Kirtland. We are not getting any new sisters at the VC but there are 5 full proselyting sisters coming out, all 19 year olds. The Sorenson's are awesome. He is very knowledgeable about the gospel and she is the sweetest thing ever. We miss the Edman's but change is good. We took them down to the Johnson Farm to meet the senior couples that live and serve there. Oh I sure love it down there. There is such a wonderful spirit there. I feel really scatter brained this week. We don't know how to be in two places at once, so we've been a little stressed out, but nothing a good dose of sleep can't fix :) Can you believe it's one year this week. CRAZY!!! Where does time go? We found out the other day that all of us will be getting released a week earlier, so my release date is now July 11. They will be having a 5 week transfer this round to get into the flow of the MTC being shortened, so everyone's dates got changed.
We have been teaching a lady named Sandy. The Elders found her tracting, and started teaching her, and then our boundaries got changed around so she ended up in our area. We taught her the Word of Wisdom. She referred to herself as an alcoholic. We had been planning on teaching her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and committing her to baptism, but as we were praying for her we felt that she needed the Word of Wisdom. It''s a little scary calling an alcoholic to repentance. Luckily the spirit was there and was able to teach her. We started teaching about it and she was told us that she has actually been praying for Heavenly Father to help her stop drinking for a while. NICE!!!! We taught her the why of the Word of Wisdom and committed her to live it. We called her yesterday because she wasn't at church, turns out she almost had a heart attack, not really, but it freaked her out so she stayed in bed. We asked if she was living it and she said she only had 1 beer. She said she usually drinks Vodka but decided it wasn't worth it. definite progress. She is amazing. She wants to be baptized and we are working on a date for her but it may be a while.
Life is good. The gospel is still true. I love it here! See you all in 5 months!
Love,
Sister Hillman
