Birthday Week!

Dear family and friends:

This week was pretty crazy!

Tuesday was my birthday!!! I can't believe i am 20!!! It is unreal.
So i got to open presents from my cute little fam(:  Then we had a
pretty good day.  Sister Hill made me a peanut butter chocolate
cheesecake.  It was so good!!!

We also met with Deon this week.  She is so cute!!! She came to the
relief society pool party and she loved it.  She made a lot of friends
with the members.  We went to see her on Sunday and her mom came over
and she said, "Hey mom, these are my sister missionaries that come
from my new church."  Then her mom looked at her for a second, looked
at the cupboard, took out the alchohol and said, "Well i guess you
won't be needing this anymore."  Then Deon just laughed.  It was
hilarious.  I am so happy.  She loves the church. She loves the
lessons and she always thanks us for coming and teach her.  She is
definitely ready to hear the gospel.

We also met with Shane again and we set a date with him for baptism.
For August 8.  At our last lesson, he said, "As i was leaving, my dad
said, 'You know Shane...they are just trying to indoctrinate you into
their church.' and i said, 'Yup. That is the goal."  He is so
funny!!!! He also is very prepared. He loves the gospel and he is
already in Alma.  We started teaching him 3 weeks ago.  I love
visiting with him!!!

We are trying to work hard and to continue finding new people to
teach. This week was weird, and i am learning a lot.

Sorry, this is so short.

I love you all!!!

See you next week. (:
