Totally "Fort Worth" It!

Mama,

 

I hope thing are bien for you. I an doing pretty fantastico. We had my first baptism yesterday. It was pretty freakin' AWESOME! He is a cool guy. We could tell he was nervous, and then while we were waiting, he started crying. But not just crying. He was BAWLING! We asked him if he was okay and he told us he was just really happy. We did it at 9 in the morning, and he got confirmed during our sacrament meeting at 11. It was really cool.

 

Sister Vaughn is going home this week. We got our transfer calls this morning, and my new companion is going to be Sister Summers, who actually was roommates with Sister Vaughn before they both came out on their missions. She sounds pretty cool. Sister Vaughn wants to stay another transfer now, and be in a trio with us, because she has always wanted to serve with Sister Summers. So that's exciting. I'm sad Sister Vaughn is leaving, but at the same time, it is time to move on.

 

Anyway, our Sunday was great too. We have 6 investigators at church, and one of them we just barely met yesterday, and he got up and bore his testimony! Kind of. As much as someone who doesn't know how to do it can. But it was really cool.

 

Anyway, I probably better go now. Love you lots. Be strong!

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

XOXOXOXOX

 

P.S. Wasn't Riley going to write me a letter and send it with that package you sent?!

 

Papi,

 

I learned a new thing in spanish. It is about fathers, so I'll tell it to you.

 

"Yo como una papa, no como a mi papa (accent on a)

(I eat a potato, I don't eat my dad)

Una papa es comida, un papa (accent on a) es mi padre"

(A potato is food, a papa is a father)

 

It's funny in spanish, but not really in english so it's okay if you don't laugh or anything. :)

 

Anyway, this week has been pretty good. Is it still raining a lot there? That's crazy that Brad's house got flooded. Is our house doing okay? I hope so, cause I sure don't want to move!

 

Anyway, I better go now. Love you lots. Sorry these are so short, but time just doesn't mean the same thing it used to. Bye.

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

Emmysaurus Rex!

 

JA JA JA JA JA JA!! You have to be in summer school?!?! That's so funny. I did that too, once upon a time. But it was pretty much the easiest class I ever took, so I didn't mind.

 

It is really really hot down here. It was been within a few degrees of 100 all week! It's craziness!!! Muy loco!! Pero, esta bien. (I hope you can understand my spanish) 

 

But anyways, Por que did you corto su pelo?! We were supposed to be having a contest! JK JK, it's all good. I'm just going to win. :)

 

What kind of changes are happening in your life? Are you're friends still moving away? I will tell you one good things about that. I know it is really hard (trust me, I REALLY do know), but when friends leave, you get to make new ones! It was super, super hard for me at the MTC when the older districts would leave, because we became such good friends with them, but then new people would come and we would be friends with them. So them you have lots and lots of friends. So it's okay. I'm pretty sure most of the people I met at the MTC will be my life long friends. :)

 

BYE. Love you lots.

 

Love, Hermana Kelsey

 

P.S. You are never too busy to write a letter. I am one of the busiest people I know and I can still write letters to people. I'm actually better at writing letters than anyone that I am writing to. :)
