Well, I WAS excited for a whole bunch of news... (8/16/2010)

Hi family!

First of all, Chels I'm so sorry that you are so miserable. I hope Coleman comes soon!!!!!!!!! He is just doing this so that he is born on a Monday night so that I can't find out for an entire week... geez coleman i thought you could love me a little even though i'm on a mission for the first year and a half of your life. oh well.

this week was so so so SOOOOOOOOOOOO good. it's just a really good time to be a missionary. we had a district meeting this week that really changed how sister de la mare and i are doing things. we figured out that we really need to find the elect and then just spend all of our time teaching them instead of getting stood up over and over again by people who don't really care about us. so we have and oh family, it's been good. i'm running out of time so this will probably be the shortest email ever. sorry.

this week we found out that sister de la mare is getting transferred, we are moving apartments and we found some really cool people and started teaching them. winford came to a baptism yesterday and asked if we had suits in his size :) oh yeah. i might have to sew one but whatever, i will do it. the president's wife came out with us one night and it was REALLY fun to have her. they sure do love us. and yeah. the work is AWESOME. we had a less-active that we have really been working with come to church yesterday and you could have broken my arm and i would still be smiling. her and winford combined made a REALLY good day.

i went to brooklyn bridge last week and it was SWEET!!!! i really do live in new york. that's weird. and yeah. new comp tomorrow. i have to be a big girl and navigate because she doesn't know the area. we might get lost a couple of times :) and it will be fine. we found a lady named wendy who is an elect and it was incredible. it was a miracle that we even found her and she had bruises all over her face and said she is going through some really rough times right now. we talked about the atonement and she started crying. a lot. and we will be going over tomorrow and a lot more days after that. and that was the week.

i love you all more than you can ever know and i love hearing from you!

love
sister mich
