I'll start out with questions from my comp... She's from Southern California and wants to know Eileen's Wedding colors. You know how they can be... LOL LOL LOL no she's so cool no joke. She really has gotten after me for not knowing anything about the wedding. Sorry that it took my Comp hounding me to ask about it. I just figured I would get the invitation in the mail and the pics by email and I would see that colors that way. She was not happy with this plan... Hey Barker got married on the 21st I'm so excited for that boy. We had a wonderful week this week I can really testify that God is in this work and I'm really just sitting in for the ride. We have a baptism this Friday Naiver he is the 10 year old boy that I'm completely in love with! We met this lady and her Daughter at one of our new members house. There names are Valentina and Malena in one week they met with us 3 times in our last lesion we were going to teach them the 2nd and they decided that they wanted to talk about baptism so we did. Valentina the mom told us that her Daughter had not been baptised and needed to be. We taught about the Priesthood and that we all need to be baptised with the right power. The mom looked at us and said "oh then I need to be baptised again." I could have cried I've never seen anyone except the Gospel as well as thees two. They are getting harassed by there Neighbours for talking to us and yet they don't care. There neighbours say that were bad ppl and that were up to no good but Malena had a dream about us and in her Dream God tolled here to keep meeting with us and that we would show her the right path to take. That was all they needed they picked out a baptismal date for October and want to know all that they have to do to get baptised its really fun to see ppl that just get it so fast and love it. Ya know one thing that make a mission a little easier is the Elders here they remind me of my Dad sometimes. They are spiracle power houses and really just know the meaning of work and would do anything for a sister missionary. We had to have the Elders here walk us home last night, we didn't have a big problem we just ran into a creeper. It had gotten dark faster then it normally does and we got back later then we normally do. We had fun taking the long way home with the Elders. Showing all the neighborhood boys that the cute American girls have BIG American boys that watch out for them. Ok so it was funny picture this Elder Larson and Elder Chaney are 6`3 and 6`2 Chaney is 24 years old and Larson would have been a pro Hockey player if his lung wouldn't have given him problems... I don't think well have any problems here :) Sister Cornwell and I had fun watching the Elders puff up as we would walk past anyone. I have never seen Elders get so big as when they get to protect a Sister. (Dad Elder Chaney- his mom was in the 2nd ward in Lehi for a long time. I think his Grandma is still in that ward. His mom's last name is Gray she remembers Sherry and Anni) Well I'm excited for this week to come. This last week has not slowed down at all but it has gotten colder. I'm in a sweater today and who knows I'll probably in a short sleeve tomorrow burning up. I love the weather here its just like Utah. Dad you asked what kind of service do you do? If you have regular Church houses? We have Church house's ... they are different but still good. There good Church houses but nothing here is like it is in America. As for the service that we do, we pick up allot of trash!!! Every area I've served in has had something different. In Gyumri we chopped wood allot, in Nork we read to old ppl. Here in Vanadzor we pick up trash and pull weeds. We are trying to find a farmer to let us cut hay! they use a knife and gather it by hand and My Comp and I want to so bad!!!!!!! But one thing I've found here is that they are really far behind on what Women can do. They thought I was crazy when I started chopping wood tolled me its wasn't Woman's work... that didn't go over so well. I don't take ppl telling me I cant do something because I'm a girl well. It may have something to do with the Worlds best Dad teaching me that I (can/ is my job) to do things most the world thinks can only be done by men. Well I'm loving it here! I haven't gotten sick in a long time and that feels wonderful!!! thanks for all your prayers and letters they help a ton!! Pat your self's on the back for a job well done you all rock!!! LOVE LOVE Queer Fergie
