I had a few minutes while waiting for the mailman and I thought I
would just write a letter to you. Sometimes on P-day there is so much to do and
so many emails to send that I feel I don't really get to let you know the
details of things. One major thing I forgot to tell you was I played the Organ
in church last Sunday. I came prepared when I went out on my mission but have
never been needed until now. The lady who usually plays was going to be out of
town, and I had shared in ward council a long time ago that if needed I could
play the Organ. All the other missionaries at the time and some of the ward
members scolded me on sharing that information saying "You should never have
said you knew how to play, now you will be playing the organ all the time".
Well of course, when I decided to learn to play the organ at 15 it was for the
sole purpose of being able to play the hymns in church!! The Bishop was good
about letting me know a few days ahead which songs to practice, but it was such
a busy week I only got to practice a small amount. Heavenly Father did bless me
I was able to play them just fine considering I have not played an organ in more
than a year! I played Hymn 78,195,339 & 156. All of our meetings on sunday
went really well, Bro. Carter asked Destini to say the opening prayer in Sunday
School that was a little alarming but she did great!! It's amazing the
difference in her and the progression since we first started teaching her, it
was really cool. That is an interesting story about the conversion of the Elder
that is in your ward, I am interested to know more about his conversion, maybe
sometime you can ask him the details. Sis. Sevy's twin brother is serving in
the St. George mission and right now he is in Manti, he says missions to Utah
are the best kept secret ever!!
I really like D&C 10:62-63 and you and dad's insights on
contention. I'm not sure what is the problem with Brandon. He definitely needs
to find some humbleness and let the spirit speak to his heart. It's almost like
he just can't handle that Sisters are teaching his family and that we have
knowledge that he does not have yet since he has only been a member less than a
year. He does have a problem though not seeing women as equals, which is
irritating! I think if I could take him trap shooting and beat the crap out of
him and then talk to him it might just make a difference! But I know I can't
because I am a missionary, oh well. I do have to say thanks to you Dad for
raising me like you did when we were doing things you didn't ever tell me there
was something I couldn't do because I was a girl! Out here is still so
old-fashioned, I'm constantly hearing "Oh you can't do that, it's a mans job".
You know how I feel about that!! Then I have to do it and do it well, so thank
you again Dad for never saying that to me and letting me know I was capable of
doing pretty much whatever I set my mind to.
Sis. Sevy and I were contemplating how to get Carrie to the Ogden
Temple open house. We were going to bring it up with her on Wednesday when we
see her. I'm glad we are on the same wavelength mom (yay, us). She does
really want to go to an open house somewhere. She is so cool!! She told us she
asked her friend in New Mexico for a blessing which we thought was neat, she is
just a really amazing person.
I do have a small blender, it is a travel size and converts into a
drink bottle, I bought it awhile back in Augusta. So allergy free but tasty
protein drinks would be great.
First "Cops" in Augusta and now "Cold Justice" in Columbus. Well that
is one way to see the areas I'm in! There is a huge train yard in Columbus and
none of the tracks have barriers, sometimes they have flashing lights. All of
the grass here is weird and brown and poky, even around the nice houses. I do
miss our lawn a lot and our garden with fresh produce. There are lots of things
I will be very grateful for when I get home. Sounds like Gage is having fun
being a Zone Leader. it is busy but can be fun also. Hopefully he is a little
more peppy than our Zone Leaders, they are kind of a drag, I think they don't
get along very well, Poor Guys!
I just your package from the mail man!! Yay! The card you all
recorded for me is pretty fabulous!! I quite like it!! So many presents that I
have to resist opening them until my Birthday!! It won't be to bad to wait
because I have exchanges and will be gone all day Tuesday and part of
Wednesday. I'm excited, it will be a great Birthday for me also because we get
to see and teach Carrie that day!! Well I will wrap it up, I feel like there is
more I want to share but I have missionary Alzheimers, hopefully it goes away
when I get home. Love you lots!! Love Sis. Price
