The Fluffy Sisters

The Sisters have donned their fluffy scarves.

I think it is FALL!!!!

Blessings from Heaven

The Sisters were on their way out the door this morning.

They asked, "Do you like our sweaters?"



Last night they were in a laundry mat talking to people.

They struck up a conversation with a young married couple in their 20s 

who were youth ministers for the church they belonged to.

The Hermanas had commented on the woman's "style" in clothes

and how nice she looked. She told them she bought her clothes

at thrift stores. They talked for a while and before the Sisters left,

the lady gave them these cute sweaters...right out of the dryer.

The Hermanas were very touched.

They came right home telling me how good some people were.

They wore their sweaters today. They are having a good mission....

learning so many things about life as well as spreading the

true gospel. "By small and simple things are great things

brought to pass."

This is a Test

 Lest you think that all the missionaries do is make smoothies,

watch spiders, and act like Royalty.....

 

 I thought I would post a picture of these hard working feet.

 

The Sisters were on them today from 11:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m.

 

They taught 3 lessons and made at least 30 contacts

 (they didn't actually count them...this is an estimate).

They say they actually taught more lessons,

but they were not Spanish speaking people.

Can you guess which feet belong to hard-working Sister Padlock

and which belong to hard-working Sister Red Baron?

Spider Education

 This is the summer of missionary work and spider education.
The Spider of 2013 has been living here all summer.

 

She lives in our back yard.....on the patio.

 

 We like to watch her spin her web.

We like to watch her eat and grow.

We like to watch her clean her house.
We like to watch her write us messages.

(Here she is removing a leaf from her freshly built web)

 

 

Sister Red Baron is more interested in watching our Spider

than Sister Padlock.  I snapped this cute picture yesterday morning.

Thought you might enjoy it.



A Good Day

The Sisters both had a good day.

This morning Sister L baked blueberry muffins from her package.

It was a special day for Sister H. 

"It's all about orange and green," she says.

They are both excited about General Conference weekend.

Me, too!

Thanks Mom and Grandma!

Sister Red Baron says,

"I have the best mom and grandma in the world!"

She was so happy to get 2 packages in the mail today!

 



Happy One Year Anniversary

 Sister Red Baron has been on her mission for ONE YEAR today.

Happy Anniversary!

 

 I am so happy that she came into our lives while on her mission.

She is a wonderful, sensitive person....

and a great example of what every missionary should be!
This picture was taken as she studied this morning.
