I hope this isn't becoming a habit...

So, Hermana Adams did not send anything for her blog this week.  Alas, she wrote woefully little to any of her family.  I will tell what little I know about her this week.

Transfers were this past week.  Her companion, Hermana K, completed her mission and went home.  She stayed in Oxford, and has a new companion.  She is Sister T.  She is not a Spanish speaking sister, but English.  When they put the languages together, they call them a zebra companionship.  Hermana Adams was able to watch the Women's Session of General Conference on Saturday night.  She loved it.  She especially liked the talk that quoted President Kimball's 1979 talk.  "Much of the major growth that is coming to the Church in the last days will come because many of the good women of the world (in whom there is often such an inner sense of spirituality) will be drawn to the Church in large numbers. This will happen to the degree that the women of the Church reflect righteousness and articulateness in their lives and to the degree that the women of the Church are seen as distinct and different—in happy ways—from the women of the world."

Marie would love to get a letter from you.  Her current address is:

A Road Trip and a Rainbow!

A few tidbits from other letters:

We keep knocking on doors that have cute little wooden 'happy fall y'all' on them. It makes for good conversation. 

 It was cold for a few days, I even wore a sweater once, but now it's back to HOT (Thanks to Irma)

We pranked the Elders here by putting glitter in their car vents and pointing them towards where there faces would be.  Then we all had a meeting last night, and I sat behind one of them and there was glitter all over them.  It was really funny.  They got us back though.  They got into our apartment and put glitter EVERYWHERE.  

And... what she wrote for the the blog:

Road trip.... for a meeting.

So we had to drive to Bessemer last night for a meeting. 
I took too long emailing others, and now I don't have enough time to finish this one. But enjoy the pictures!!! Have a good week!

Alabama!

I'm really bad at coming up with subject lines. Just pretend it's something clever. 

So this week we had a baptism!! A wonderful family has been coming back to church, and they had their 8 year old son baptized. I helped teach him some of the lessons. It is very different from teaching an adult. But on Saturday we came and filled up the baptismal font (and cleaned it. there were lots of spiders). It was so amazing. His dad baptized him and gave him the Holy Ghost, and he got all choked up during the blessing. The spirit was so strong there, it was amazing. So that was my first baptism!! 

Also this week, I HIT MY 9 MONTH MARK!! It is so crazy. I can't believe I've already been here for 9 months. I have learned so much here! I love meeting so many new people. This has been the most wonderful few months of my life :) I hope that the next are even better. Mom sent me a package full of camel stuff, so here I am with all of it on my half-way mark :)

I hope all of you are doing well and I hope that this week is amazing for all of you!! I love you!!
