Hello again (11/30/15 email)

Wow it's been so long. I completely forgot to send a group email last
week haha my bad!

Well this week we finished planning R's wedding and baptism! His
fiancé wants to sing "Families Can Be Together Forever" with us at his
baptism <3. They just melt my heart! Their wedding is Friday, then his
baptism is on Saturday.

Also this guy, TR, has met with us twice and he's getting baptized on
December 19. He was so ready to meet us! He grew up Catholic but has
recently been wondering what the truth is, so he started looking into
different churches and has already received the answer that this is
God's church. It's amazing how quickly your prayers can be answered
when you have an open heart.

Awk story: Our district leader was on the phone with us the other day
and (oh background info - Sister Reeves can't have gluten) he randomly
said, "Oh I was gonna tell you this today, but I forgot! I just bought
some Nutella and it says it's gluten free!" We immediately started
freaking out and saying, "Oh my gosh yesssss! We love Nutella! Haven't
had it in so long! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Then he just said,
"Umm...I only bought one for me...I just was excited to tell you it's
gluten free." We were honestly so embarrassed after that - too
embarrassed to even laugh at ourselves in front of them, but then
right after we hung up we started cracking up. Ughh...why did we just
assume he bought us Nutella??

These cute girls in the ward gave us some of her Halloween candy and
made us cards - honestly the cutest!

Sister Reeves is always taking sunset pictures haha like constantly. Here's one with me & my cute helmet.

Oh my goodness this made my day. We looked up the house where we're staying on Google maps and found Penny mowing her lawn!

Well I am loving the opportunity I have to serve here. It's amazing the difference it can make when you're living without all the distractions of the real world (not gonna lie I really miss certain distractions like Snapchat and Netflix, but for the time being it's all worth it haha) because I'm able to completely focus on God and my purpose here and learn so much from the scriptures. It really is such a blessing! I love y'all and I hope everyone's enjoying their Cyber Monday.
