Hello!!
I've officially completed my first
transfer! :) All 4 of us in the Webb Bridge ward are staying for at least
another 6 weeks! That was the best news. Really though. :)
Also, Sister Molly George (Her
roommate from college) is now in the mission!! I haven't seen her
personally, but one of the elders' investigators was helping someone move in
another ward, and he said that she was there!! Yay for familiar faces! :)
Mom, thank you so much for the package! Sister B has asked
us to sing at her baptism, so the Children's Songbook came just in time! Thank
you!!! :) The CD, Lamb of God is so great!!! Sister Loader actually had it but
didn't know what it was. When we opened the CD that you sent, there were 2
CDs!! Sister Loader said, "It's like finding out there's an 8th book to
Harry Potter!" Haha. We really love it! :)
I can't believe that you met up with Sister Loader's family!
(Her companion's family lives near us) We have
been talking about having Lexy look out for Amanda (companion's
sister) when school started, but it looks like you already got
that covered! Today when Sister Loader opened up her email she was like,
"Um... Sister Jacobs? Those are my parents." And I was like,
"what?! And those are *my* parents!" It was super weird to see you
all in a picture together. But super exciting at the same time :)
Okay. Highlight of the week was probably Wednesday-ish. We
were just finishing up lunch and someone knocked on our door. No one ever
knocks on our door. So... I looked through the peep-hole and there was a woman
I'd never seen before. I answered it and she's our upstairs neighbor! She came
to apologize for something that we didn't even notice. Anyway, she commented
"hallelujah!" on our Jesus picture that we have hanging in our
window! Haha. What a sweet lady :)
We met with Sister B again and because she's in a lot of
pain we can only meet for like 30 mins at a time. She's been through all the
lessons, but Elder Buhler wanted us to go over the last lesson and the
commandments with her just to refresh her memory. When we told her that, she
goes, "can we do that all at once?" Uh... So we did! Fastest lessons
of my life! When we got to the commandments it was like, "What do you
understand about tithing?" She'd answer with more understanding than I
have, haha. "... will you live it? What do you understand about the
word of wisdom? ... will you live it?" She's so great. August 16th is the
big day! She's excited, we're excited and the elders are excited! It's gonna be
a super tender experience :)
I love being a missionary! It gives
me the greatest opportunity to think of Christ and come closer to Him! I love
it! and I love you! :)

PS. The first picture is
one Tyler took as he was passing through Georgia and had to stop in a Target
store for something a few weeks ago. He sent a copy to Ashley. It was in her
mission boundaries.
The second picture is of
Ashley in the exact same location recently and she shared that with us.
Ashley's comment in finding that location: Best treasure hunt ever! Haha :)
