It is HOT HOT HOT! June 6, 2016

So sister Hobbs and I love to bike and walk everywhere! Today we actually didn't get to run this morning so we decided to go after we do our laundry. Ya bad idea..... we were dying from the Heat! We stopped at a members to get some water and cool down and then ran the rest of our run. It was crazy. Heat+Humidity= 

We have had a very successful week. We have a baptismal date for one of our investigators for this month. And she is awesome. She is the only one in her family interested and she is 14 years old. Pray that she will continue to be that example and have that family support:) 

She is doing great! 

We do a lot around the community! We go up to Quanah twice a week because most of our investigators are up there and they are awesome! We have like 6 more potential baptisms. Ya I know. Miracles are happening. We have this really fun job at the Hospital where we make a survey call to those who had something done and we check-up and follow-up on them. It is the funnest thing in the world and the people just love us there. People in Quanah used to hate mormons but now if anyone says anything bad about us they get in trouble with everyone backing us up. It is so awesome:)

In every area i have been in, So many people rely on us at food banks, thrift shops, hospitals, ect. Because they can definitely tell a difference when we aren't there. We bring the power of God with us to get the job done joyfully:) We bring that special light. 

We seriously just go, go, go. We love it! and Sister Hobbs and I are both giving a little spiel at district meeting. (Wish us luck:) Sister Hobbs is speaking on Faith and I am speaking on Patience. Which being 13 months out on a mission is have learned a lot of! And still continue to learn. But it is a lot easier with the most awesome companion ever! We have the same exact mind like no joke. We don't even have to ask each other stuff because we already know what the other is thinking. We laugh so much too:) That is key to missionary work because if you don't, you'll just go all crazy.

"PATIENCE is the ability to do Gods will and accept his timing." "Its related to hope and Faith- you must wait for the Lords promised blessings to be fulfilled." Mosiah 24:13-16 (Preach my Gospel)

I know that this church is true. The standards that we have make us who we are and help us to become better children of God. These standards come from our Heavenly Father. Show the Love of Christ to others this week! Because that will soften their hearts to want to learn more about what makes you that way which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank y'all for everything you do!

Ten Cuidado! Estamos hablando con muchas personas en espanol! Y investigadores potentiales! Nos Espera suerte!

Love you all!

We had hard core rain! The roads were flooded! That didnt stop the Gospel from being spread so our neighbors (who adore us) gave us garbage bags to walk through the rivers ahah!
