Temple trips and Halloween masks

Happy (late) Easter everyone! 

The weather here in Kentucky has been so darn spankin' beautiful. :) 

I don't have a lot of time, but here are some of the updates from this past week. 

-On Tuesday we were able to go with sweet Brianna Trammell to the temple to do proxy baptisms, and it was her first time and she did "swimmingly" (ba doom ching). 

-We did some service for Christy Hammer and her father, and we were able to have a good conversation with her dad about our church and what we're all about. He told us that he would try to come to church "one of these days". THERE'S HOPE AFTER ALL. 

- We had a great meeting with some of the ward members this week on how we could hasten the work in the Tompkinsville Ward. We're trying to get the members pumped about missionary work, and so far it's kinda working... 

- On Friday we had "Movie Night" and there were 14 people... 14! It's the new record. We watched "Ephraim's Rescue" and the spirit was so strong. Luckily there were some investigators, and after the movie they had a lot of questions. Yay for church movies! :) 

- On Saturday we went out to lunch with Brianna and her great-grandpa and I ate my first catfish! It was pure southern deliciousness. (Here's the sad news...) Later that night we got transfer calls, and I'm being transferred to White House, TN. When we got the call, they said I was going from the "sticks" to the "STICKS". I'm definitely sad to leave this promised land, but am looking forward to the many adventures that await me! 

- Early Sunday morning we had a sunrise service and we had a pretty good turn-out. There were 36 people there and us three sisters did a musical performance of "I Know That My Redeemer Lives" and it was a great last performance. Later in Sacrament meeting I was asked to bare my testimony, and just looking out at all the marvelous people in our small little ward made me feel so grateful for being able to serve there. 

I sure hope everyone's week was just as wonderful as mine was. :) 

With all my love,
