Here is the letter we got from Sister Goodrich today. Her siblings all got an email too :). 

Her mailing address is at the bottom.  Keep up with her and other Missionaries on our blog thefathersstory.blogspot.com

Hello Everyone!

I finally got the bike from Sister Rackleff she is so sweet, and nice. I think I've told her a million times thank you now. o so my bike is purple, and it looks like a beach cruser but not so low.. It's so cute! I don't have a picture but I will take one soon. I get to ride it for the first time tomorrow. yay! we can't really ride it in most of our area because 3/4ths of your area is on the other side of 249 and the bishop forbade us from riding or walking on that road.. it's just not safe. at all and people here drive crazy!! so we can only ride to one little neighborhood that's not too far. but it's also the area where it's really run down, and old, and scary at night.. actually all of houston is scary at night.. we don't stay out most nights past 7:15 so that's good. This week was hard, and more difficult. but I hope my attitude will change. I've been stuck in a rut. and depressed, and sad.. but I'm trying to look for the positive things. I know that my companions must really love me to put up with me this week, I haven't been the most agreeable person.i'm tired and grumpy most of the time because i can't sleep at night.. but don't worry! I'm not given up. So last Monday we did a gift exchange, and pinata with the rest of our zone it was fun! I got a toy truck out of the gift exchange, but i donated it to the nursery. Tuesday we went and cleaned Ms. Smileys house for our weekly service project. Ms. Smiley is a grumpy old woman.., and has two broken feet ( which i accidently kicked twice) she is a non member but her son is a member his name is Brother Crummey it's kind of ironic that Ms. Smiley who has a crummey attitude all the time, has a son named Crummey, who always smiles he is the nicest person ever. But he is not doing well he is down at the hospital waiting for a heart transplant.. he is a recent convert. him and his wife joined about a year and a half ago, and they were getting ready to go to the temple when bro crummey got sick.. We met a new investigator on tuesday too, his name is William Compton I knocked on the door, and asked if he had heard of the church, and the book of mormon, and he said no, but that he wanted to learn more so we gave him a copy and he said we could come back so that's exciting! My first good door approach! yay! Wednesday we had exchanges with Sister Folsom who is the great granddaughter of President HInkley she doesn't like to talk about it though so yeah... but still pretty cool we walked a lot and we went and saw our 94 year old investigator who we commited again to pray to know if she should be baptized.  We also had zone conference on Thursday and it was really good! I learned a lot and it was very uplifting.. Saturday we went and saw Marian who is a Luthern and not interested in joining but we stop by and visit her once in a while. She taught us lot about the luthern church and what she believed, and after all i could think about was how much i know that This is the true church, and that it is Christs church. A lady brought us over a casserole and bread for dinner.. but the bread was moldy.. but that was the only time i have questioned the food here.  Yesterday during companion study I fell asleep how embarrassing right? haha oh well... i won't live that one down. I'm just so tired all the time! being a missionary is physically exhausting, mentally exhausting, and spiritually exhausting.. but it's all good. I love you so much, and hope you are having a good day! and a great week! can't wait to hear back from you!

I love you!

kaylee!
