haha you can send them to the mission home or my flat what ever would be easier for you. I am going to the Dr. sometime this week or next. I don't want to go but my I had a prompting that I needed to go at the sisters training on Friday so Sister Preston is getting me an apt.
 
This week has been good. We have had quite a few meetings. But it has been good. We had a Sisters Training meeting and that was absolutely wonderful. Being able to see all of the sisters in the mission. We learned about modesty/virtue and how when we realize who we really are (Daughters Of God) then we hold ourselves differently. We learned about budgeting, diet and exercise, Obedience, and Stress Management. Sister Cola King from Rhyl came and talked about Stress Management. It was so good to see her I really missed her. And I was able to get a hug from her. I really miss Rhyl. I hope that I am able to go back one day.
 
The weather has been pretty good and decent but I think it is going to start going back to how it was when I first got here. But I am excited. You really feel like a missionary when you are standing out in the rain getting drenched trying to talk to people and tell them that there is a way that they can be happy in this weather. Funny thing is that they tell you that they don't want to know, but then they complain about how miserable the rain and cold is. Oh I miss the snow capped mountains.
 
I am really looking forward to the Relief Society Conference. And General Conference. I am just excited!!!!
 
That is good to hear that she is doing well. They are a great family. I don't know how or if I could handle it myself.
 
I am glad that he got his birthday card. Is he getting excited???? What is he going to do for his Birthday???
 
Oh I wish I could be there to see their primary program!!!!!! I don't know if they do them here which is sad because the primary have such beautiful testimonies and the are so pure. And you can always feel the spirit when they talk about Christ.
 
Oh I am glad that you enjoyed work. It will take some time but you will get the hang of it. You are a fast learner. Plus you have Heavenly Father on your side. He would not have you go to a new job and then not help you. Just learn all that you can and he will fill in the rest. It is just like missionary work. Do all you can and the Holy Ghost will do the rest. But we have to do our part. You will do great!!!! And I am glad that they are nice to you!!!
 
How is your health???? How is daddy????????????????
 
I am going to be making haystacks next week for a member here because she said that she would like to try them. I am so excited!!!
 
I love you all so much and I am so grateful for all that you do!!!!
 
Love
 
Sister Ballantyne
