Mother's Day

Well this week was a pretty good one. It was so good to Skype with my family yesterday and hear/see there faces. Now its back to work. You wouldn't think that talking to your family would be a distraction from the work but it is. As a missionary you are in the world but not really in the world. We are in a world of our own.

This week has been another great week. Guess what we set a baptismal date with someone the other day! So she is claustrophobic and she said she would get baptized but not in a font because it is to enclosed for her so we have to find a river or somewhere else. On monday we had an investigator come to FHE and dinner at a members house with us. It was such a great lesson! And that same investigator is progressing so well. We retaught the restoration lesson and she said that everything we taught made sense and she wants to learn more. We can tell she truly has a desire to learn more. This week we started doing service at the senior center here in town. They had us wash dishes and at first I wasn't super excited to wash dishes but all of people talked to us it was so much fun and they where so appreciative for us coming and helping them. There is a less active we visit pretty regually and Sister Minyard and I both didn't think she liked us that well because she always talks about one of the missionaries she had visiting her prior to us coming to the area she basically talks about how great that missionary is. Well as we where leaving we gave her a huge and she whispered in my ear. I just want to tell you I Love You. Ah that was so sweet I guess she does like me.

Oh friday we had a big storm (or at least I thought was a big storm). Both sister minyard and I thought that there was going to be a tornado we where a little scared. The sky was black and there was about nickle size hail and the locals kept saying well those kinda sky's look like they are the tornado maker sky's. Well we have a member who doesn't live to far from our apartment who said that if the sirens go off we can go over to her house and just come on in and get into her basement. Well sister minyard called them and to see if they thought there might be a tornado well they weren't worried at all and they just said oh its just a thunder storm don't worry. Well that didn't ease our minds at all. Would black sky's in the day POURING rain and hail about the size of a nickle tons of lightning with the thunder like a few seconds after seeing the lightening scar you well it scarred us!! Well we survived but the member did tell us she was surprised we didn't come over because it was kinda bad.

We have this amazing 92 year old woman in our branch that has a very special place in Sister Minyard and I heart we wanted to do something special for her on mothers day so we got her some pink roses, wrote her a note and made her favorite mac and cheese. We surprised her last night with them and she was so touched. It is hard to describe
​ but as we walked into her living room her face just light up. It was such a special thing to do for her.

I hope all of you have a great week! Get out and enjoy the sun before it gets to warm. Thanks everyone for all the support and prays. I love hearing from all of you and can't wait to hear you next week.

Love Sister Lynch
