Skipped a week update.

Ok so sorry I didn't forward an email last week. I only got a quick note that she was mailing me a letter and out of time. She mentioned in her letter that brother Crummey passed away :( She also wrote to all of her siblings.

Then we got this email this week-

This week has been a rollercoaster... of emotions..I'm trying not to let my anxiety get the best of me... This week we met with our 94year old investigator twice... and she was so close to getting baptized then like a blink of an eye she said no...so that is discouraging.. but it's on the Lords times and not ours. . we threw a baby shower for our investigator so she could meet more sisters in the ward. I think she really enjoyed. it. She is so sweet. There has not been a baptism in 2
years... this area is really hard, and we are working hard too. We are all
trying our best and seeing no return of our labors... but we know that we
are just planting seeds for later missionaries to harevest... other than
that this week hasn't been too exciting.... thanks for the lanyard i get
the purpose now... I will try to send pictures home soon. Thanks for
sending me my blanket. and Yes i did get the candy you sent I will show you
how much candy i got this year it's a bit extrme... and i don't have the
heart to throw it out. I don't know what i want for christmas... maybe some
skirts or shirts? or socks.. or medicine.. like first aid kit... bandaids?
haha sorry mom I don't know... Next week is transfers... so We will know
next Sunday which one of us is getting transfered... we think at least one
of us will... they don't like to keep us in threes very long but maybe we
will get lucky and stay together. I really love my companions they are
great, and they help me so much. ps sidewalks here are dumb.... just stop
and start whenever...

She did send a couple of pictures. One is of how much candy they had. Maybe I should have not sent two bags, but she likes the non-chocolate , and I figured her companions might like kisses. I also ordered it a couple of weeks before Halloween, but it didn't get there until after. So they might have to hand it out at church. The next is on her pday in the cute purple bike she is is borrowing. She also had to take a picture of all of the mail she got, it's hard to believe she can be so moved by mail.
