Preparing for a baptism.... January 31, 2011

Oh my gosh Arizona Seemed like a blast. I'm so jealous! I've always wanted to go to Arizona when I was older. I miss Tyler too. We have always got along and had so much fun together. I have written him three times and he is in trouble for only writing me twice. I'm still waiting on my third letter. Lol. I guess it will come when it comes.

That's funny that Brandon reminds you so much of Christopher. Shanna always thought that. I think that's why Shanna and Brandon got along so well.  I have no doubt in my mind that she will get pregnant soon. I heard a story the other day about this woman who tried to get pregnant for 5 years and finally at the end of the fifth year it happened. Thank heaven she is not like that yet. She needs to just de-stress and it will happen. It's like that old movie you and I watched with Doris Day. The older woman who finally got pregnant and she was so happy. The doctor's advice was to go on a cruise. relax and it happened. They will be just fine. I have all the faith in the world. They will be so cute when they do. That's crazy that Maren in pregnant. All my friends will be married and pregnant when I get home. Lol How fun!

I'm so excited for Nancy and Emma. Emma and McKenna's pictures were so cute! They are so cute together. They need to be together more. She needs a cousin on dad's side to play with. Maybe they can start writing letters to each other, like pen pals. What an amazing experience to be a part of. I love baptisms!

Oh, I'm sending a birthday gift home for Kellin and Kenny, nothing big. I will also try to send letters (Dad I sent a lot more picture than Christopher, he just sends them more frequent ;)

That Relief Society lesson sounded like it was perfect for Nancy.

Well things have been going really good here. We are just preparing for a baptism for the Toms this weekend. It is going to be great. Keep praying for them. Other than that nothing new is going on. Transfers aren't for another four weeks so we don't have to worry about that. We have a lot of work to do here before that happens. It's been really fun to be in this area. The ward is just fantastic! I love it! I truly believe as I commit myself to this work and give it all I got, I will see great miracles like I have seen but they will come tenfold. I will not have room enough to receive them. I know that, I feel it and I've prayed about it. This work is so exciting and I hope we can bring many more back to the fold, less-active or non-member.

I'm sorry this letter is so short but I hope everything is going great at home and I'm sending off the package today, I hope. It's hard when you have to travel so far to do anything. SO I hope I get it sent off. I love you all so much. Lot of kisses and hugs!

Your Sister Pedersen~

P.S. I'm not worried about EFY. It will work out. I hope. If not I'll do something else. I just really thought that would be something great to do.
