THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PICS!!!!! they were so wonderful I just cant say how much I loved it.
Every thing here is wonderful like normal. Mom Ether 12:4 is the scripture that I would like on my plaque. OH so the tape Lori sent me .. LOL there was a 45 second silent part so I thought it was done and It wasn't till I got Dad's letter and he said he talked on it that I went back and listened to the rest so Sunday I got a really nice treat to listen to the rest. It turned out to be so good I was having just a hard day and I was able to listened To Rebecca's part of the tape made me cry but made my day all the same and It was just when I really needed a pick me up. So thanks for sending it to me and showing all your love. And yes mom I did take the boots. My Comp told me I have to send them home, she was mortified that I took army boots... little does she know lol.
I know this church is so true and has blessed my life so much!! I have been pushed farther than I ever thought but once I put myself aside and let the Lord take the lead everything worked its self out! There is no doubt there is no fear. All feelings of being not good enough are gone. All that is not from the Savior but the adversary and once you command him out and make room for the Lord nothing else matters. It's all smooth sailing from there. I know that God will also bless you. I keep you all in my prayers and I feel close to you at all times. I truly feel the love of the Savior and know that his love is not just for me but for all of ya'll. I love you so much and hope that you all are happy and progressing in the church and in life. The Lord cant guide what’s not moving:) have a good week till next week .... Love Sister Ferguson
Hey when you write me could I maybe get the 5 day weather report that would be so helpful you have no idea. :) And Rebecca there's and Elder Mossner here from Switzerland, but he said If I could get you to write him a hand written letter he would give me Swiss chocolate so if you could help a sister out that would be nice:) Hey so package Ideas... Don’t feel the need but I've had people ask what to send. Gum is not allowed so mints, lifesaver mints, cinnamon rolls..., My immunization record so I don't have to get the shots again would be really really nice!!!!, Cookies are always welcome, Could I also get a ward directory and maybe a gray and Ferguson directory that would be nice to write the family.

week 2
Hey how is everything going on the home front???? Hope its all going well.
Time here flies so fast it seems like it was yesterday that I emailed so I'll try to remember what all happened. We saw Thurow Balley here he talked to the 6'9 elder in out district. Well we adopted a district that only had two people in it, Elder Gram and Warner. They are really fun and we all get along really well.
Oh so Gym is the best thing that has ever happened, We play kick ball, volleyball and basketball. All are good!!!! I got hit in the face with the volleyball again this week. This time I had blood in my mouth and a little shade of a bruise on my face. It went away really fast, like that day it was gone. The cool thing about that was I managed to hit it again with my face to keep it up in the air and my team mate hit it over the net and we got the point!!! When you have to wait in line for your turn because they play weird here (its called King of the court) you don't mess around with dropping the ball! Then the next day I was like Gym time again volleyball.. Heck no David Blane. I'm going to play kick ball ... I'm the pitcher... mostly because I can catch but any how the Elder kicking the ball set it right back to me and it hyper extended my fingers. I finished the game but it took a good two hours to get the feeling back in my middle finger lol. Thats been the only injuries that were caused by the Elders ... I however did hit the basketball in my own face and had to pop my jaw back into place. Maybe gym isn't my sport but I still love it!!!
So I have bruises on my knees with calluses to match !!! I'm a reall missionary now ... not that I wasn't before now I have bruises to prove it.
So in the morning we do SYL which is Speak your language it's so much fun we do it from 6:30 to 8 so through A-Bom reading and breakfast. Elder Reece (who is way funnier than I will or could ever be) always runs out of Armenian to say so randomly he will burst out with "I KNOW JOSEPH SMITH IS A PROPHET!!!" (in Armenian) as a desperation wanting to say something it's funny.
We get to see the spoken word on Sundays and they sang the Battle of Jerico. Now you must under stand we can't listen to music here .... so that was the closest thing to Babylon music I've came to in a long time. It was so wonderful!!!
We have really good spirit here, I have never felt so happy as I do here. Classes are wonderful the only time I'm not learning is when I sleep. We have the teachers for like 8 hrs a day and when they're not there we're studying. The only problem is there just isn't enough time so we study when we walk and eat and then when you brush your teeth and getting ready in the morning you put words through Genitive and Simple Present and on and on. No time to doubt all My efforts goes to the Lord, I don't have time to doubt for faith and doubt can't exist at the same time.
Know that I love you and think of you often. All my love
Sister Ferguson
