Well all is well in Tiny town USA! :) I had a whole list of stuff to talk about but of course I left it at home. The wonderful Ingles are letting us use their computers and washer and dryer so we don't have to pay like $20 to do our laundry. Plus we usually email at the church and it's currently leaking gas or something and we had to cancel the last hour of church cause kids in primary we're getting light headed haha...ya. We could've died but it's ok! :) The baptisms went SOOOOOO GREAT!!!! We had a GREAT turn out. THe whole primary room was stuffed full of people. And the boys were so nervous haha. One of them had to wear a shirt and suit pants cause we only had two suits big enough for them. It was a great though. When we went by there house the next day they each looked so different! It was AMAZING! Just like I talked about with Ila back in Berryville, how there was a physical difference in the way she looked, like brighter, the same happened with these boys. It just made me want to jump up and down for joy haha...actually I did a little and clapped my hands haha. I asked them how they felt and how they thought it went. Andrew told me: "Honestly, I feel completely different. I see everything differently and I don't know. I just feel happy." Eek! And then Georgie told me in not so many words cause he's kinda quiet that he's never been more happy in his life and that he's so excited for the temple trip we've got scheduled for next month!!!! DAHHHH!!!! THEY'RE JUST SO WONDERFUL!!!! Everett is the quietest of them all and he just said he felt happy haha but their mom told us later that they couldn't stop smiling and they loved it. :) I can't even tell you how great it feels to SEE the Lord's influence in their lives. We literally didn't do anything but witness the cleansing power of the priesthood and boy did that strengthen me and their nonmember father who has now talked about meeting with us! These kids just blow my mind. They've strengthened me so much and they're like my little brothers. I told them that too haha:) Their littlest sister Bella was trying to come home with us last night. She put on my name tag and grabbed her lunch bag, threw it over her shoulder and slipped on some high heel dress up shoes and told us she wanted to be a missionary too. :) ADORABLE! I took a picture. I'll try to connect it. But ya that was the BEST day ever. AND! Then we went to the Veteran's colony like we always do on fri/sat and they are really starting to love us haha. Those grumpy old men can't help but love us. One of them, the grumpiest of them all has taken quite a liking to me haha. I can tell this because he constantly teases me and he slipped like $60 into my purse!! I tried to give it back to him but he just told me I can't boss him around and that he wanted to donate to my cause haha. Oh goodness. We're gonna go heart attack his house or something cause we know he'll need something else to complain about ;) I love that guy. Anyway, we get to hang out with the Vendels today cause Saturday was her birthday and they're only like an hour and a half away from two of their daughters haha. SIster Gee is awesome! She's super quirky and adorable. She bought me THE CUTEST Lisa Frank stickers today cause I LOVE them and so obviously she's my favorite :) I hope all of you have a great week and you drive carefully in the snow!!! Mom! I want you to know I used every single pair of my fleece lined tights you sent me this week cause it's FREEZING!!!! It's SO cold here and so THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! Also, what are the gas prices like up there? The lowest one we've seen was $1.79 but it's sitting comfortably at about $1.85 everywhere!!! I can live with that! Tell Grandpa I said hi and that I miss him A LOT!!!
Love you forever,
Sister Moreno
