Totally "Fort Worth" It!

Mama,

Hola! Como estas? I hope you are doing well. That's good you've been looking for a job. I have been praying for you and I know that the Lord will bless you. Keep the faith and it'll all work out!

Thank you so much for the package! I got it the other day, and I was so excited. I won't be asking for much anymore though. I'm just so thankful for the shampoo! I needed it so bad. Muchas gracias!!

It is HOT here! I will give you some of our sun, if you give us some of your rain. We have been almost out of miles for the last week or so, so we've been walking and riding the bus a lot. It has been super hot and humid, so we are miserable the entire time. It is not fun, but I'm getting used to doing it so it's okay. Yesterday for p-day we played football outside. It was so fun! All the elders think I'm cool because I can actually play a little and throw pretty decent (thanks to dad :)). They chose me to be on their team before even some of the guys. It's awesome. 

Anyway, we have a baptism this Sunday! This guy A___ who has been meeting with the missionaries for like 2 1/2 years is finally getting baptized. He's pretty cool. It's exciting. I feel like I'm finally starting to get used to the work. But I'm a little worried because Sister Vaughn is leaving in a week (ish), and none of the other sisters that could be my companion have ever served in my area. I still don't know a lot of the people or the way to get around our area very well. I think we are going to get lost a lot. :( But it'll be okay I guess. Our branch is so great. They are pretty good with fellowshipping and becoming friends with our investigators. It's sad though because all our people who are really good at it will be leaving soon. We have a really cool member family, but the parents are getting deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan soon; the branch president's brother and sister, who come on exchanges with us, are leaving to go to Utah and Idaho soon. We aren't going to have many people to help us. But, it'll be alright. Esta bien!

That's crazy that Landon is coming home already! I swear it hasn't been two years. It'll seem like that with me I'm sure. :)

Hermana Vaughn is still cool. She's getting a little bit trunky now, but not too bad, and not more than is expected when you are going home in a week.

One of the things we have to do with investigators that have problems with the law of chastity is just wait it out. We can't really do anything to help them, because most of the time it has something to do with legal or money issues, and we don't have anything we can use to help them with those. It's kind of hard to watch, but we just pray for them a lot.

Anyway, I probably better go now. Love you lots. Keep doing good things.

Love, Hermana Kelsey

P.S. I'll hopefully send some pictures soon. I haven't printed any for a while (since I left the MTC to be exact), and I haven't really taken that many, but I'll try to get some to you.

Papi,

Howdy! How's it going? I hope things are good. That's crazy to hear about all the flooding. Hopefully our weather switches soon. We are also having a dry season. We could seriously use some rain. But I guess this is usual in Texas about this time.

In our combined meeting, we talked about keeping the chapel clean (by parents not having their kids drink red punch :)), and being member missionaries. It was a pretty cool meeting. :) Kind of. Anyway, I'm glad you are getting as much yard work and stuff doen as you can. Hopefully, the weather will work for you to be able to do all the things you need to.

Anyway, I better go now. Sorry this is so short, but I'm all out of time. Love you, bye.

Love, Hermana Kelsey

Emmysaurus Rex!

Hola mi hermana! Como estas?! Aren't you so glad school is out? I sure remember that. Although now I miss school It's funny how your out look changes depending on where you are in life. Anyway, that's also exciting you are finally getting your license. It is about dang time! Just kidding. But seriously. :)

Please write me a letter!!! Letters are so fun. Anyway, I better go now. Love you my little seester!

Love, Hermana Kelsey
