Short Email, Surpassing Goals...and BLUE IS HOME !

I'm at the library, so I don't get much time. This will have to be very short. 

This week we had a goal to have 20 lessons. Our numbers for this week were 6 member lessons, 17 others and 5 less active lessons !! We worked very hard and we are going to keep it up for the upcoming week. 

Because I'm on such a short time frame, I'll answer a few questions and then expound more next week as my week was Grand !

This is Blue

BLUE IS MINE WHEN I RETURN HOME !! (Blue is Elder Routledge's blue-tongued skink (lizard) and was with another family but has since been returned to us). I was actually missing her tons last week, so if you and Shel would be so kind as ot take care of her for me that would be perfect...love you hehehe (He knows I'm not a big fan of lizards...but she's growing on me lol). 


Mom, a prayer to the Lord is a prayer to the Lord whether it be 10 minutes or 10 seconds. He recognizes our efforts in calling upon Him and thanking Him. He loves to hear our prayer, big or small. Just remember if you open with, "Heavenly Father" and close in "Jesus name" there is no bad prayer. (This was directed to me as I gave the opening prayer in our Stake Conference. I'm quite sure it was the shortest opening prayer EVER as I forgot everything I was going to say until I sat down :-D).

Please make sure to tell everyone that the letters they received are not one and done. I'll keep sending them and I love pictures and love hearing from everyone so keep it up :)

Not sure who this Elder is :-) 

I got an email from (a couple friends) which made me miss home. I have to focus on my mission, but sometimes I get caught up just being in deep thought about home. I set a goal to think less about home during the week but sometimes it's hard. 

Well, I have to go but I love you soo much. I'll talk to you next week. Love you all and keep progressing forward :)
