"Spit Fire!"

So the blessings of conference are still pouring in! Man, I am seeing so many miracles from the referrals the saints gave during conference! I am so proud of my friends specifically who gave us referrals! Brett Mortimer, for example, gave a us a name of a kid from high school and we are now teaching him and he's going to meet with the missionaries! So far the referrals have been keepers!

So the other day on the square we visited with some members who brought their friend. We ask all their names and the friend says in all seriousness, "Spit Fire....they call me Spit Fire." Let me give you a visual......about 5 foot, frizzy fire red hair, purple eye shadow,  65ish, 3 inch heels, and southern. Well we get to the "Handcart Monument" and I tell her that it was made after a man name John Rowe Moyle and the next thing I know this lady has jumped up onto the monument and has her arms around John Rowe Moyle and is posing with him!  At this point I feel like I am going to pee in my pants... maybe I did.  She is up their chilling and just going on and on about how she believes she is related to this man (pretty agile for a 65 year old lady if you ask me).  I tell her that we can look up her family history at the computer and then she tells me how she is not allowed to touch computers because she has so much energy running through her body that she blows up computers if she touches them!  In the end she tells me about all the dates she goes on and about this man who tried to kiss her the other day and she told him, "Never ever shall a man kiss these lips unless he's sitting across from me at the altar!"  Anyway, it was a very entertaining  tour - what a blessing;)  She used to be a Baptist preacher.....and I am pretty sure her makeup bag weighs at least 10lbs!

I saw Janna, Aunt Sally, Uncle Adam and Bailey this last week! It was so good to get a good laugh from family....awe, we have the best sense of humor:) I got great family! At first when I had visitors that I knew it was throwing me off my groove, but now it happens so often it's become  part of my mission. That's just the way things are.  I see friends and family and it doesn't really throw me off anymore. It is good to see family and friends! Its reminds me of why I love the gospel so much! It is because of the gospel that I am associated with all these lovely friends and family!

Yesterday was Easter right, so S. Kleine and I decided it would be a good time to hit up "Music and the Spoken word."  It really was a good idea because guess who else decided to show up? The Prophet...............and his wife...........and Richard G. Scott!  It was AMAZING!   I am so anxious to hear conference! I still haven't listen to it...I don't know when I will.

So family, it sounds like EFY was awesome! I would love to see a video of Scotty bugs singing or something! Sounds like everyone is still playing dominion! Sounds like a blast

 We are hiking Ensign peak today !!!!!!!! woot woot!!!!!! So excited! We are going as a zone!

 Give me some ideas this next week of what you want me to tell about. I knew letters home were going to be a struggle for me on the mission..........I don't know what to tell you. Too much stuff to write and not enough time.

Love you all! The mission is the best!
