Dear Family,
So my world is in a spin right now... I can not believe that Riann is in college, Raddon started High School and Mom is teaching Kindergarten! I also can't believe that our green and white chouch is not at our house anymore :) What happened? What are you using in the living room in it's place? I can't believe how much everything is changing! It is so cool!
This week has been crazy! We have been doing a lot of service in the community and in people's homes who are not members of the church. As you are well aware, this is my favorite kind of missionary work. It is one thing for us to say that we follow Christ and we obey His teachings but when we are actually doing it and people in the community see that and feel of the love the Savior has for them through acts of service... that is when we are able to "Bring the name of the church out of obscurity" and help people grow so much! It's like Brother Riley told us before we left "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." What great advice!
We are having a musical fireside next month and I am so excited for it! We had our first rehearsal for it yesterday and I am so impressed with the musical talent in the Bay Shore ward. There were only a few people in the choir but we sounded like THE Mormon Tabernacle Choir! It was awesome! We have an awesome director, her name is Sister Jo-Marie Burgess and she, along with her husband Brother Bradley Burgess (the pianist) are from South Africa! They are so talented and quite famous where they come from as I understand it. She has sung for The Queen of England and Michelle Obama and we are just really lucky to have them! We are really excited about this event. The ward members are helping us advertise it on Facebook and Eventbrite and Twitter, and Instagram and everywhere! Ha ha it's going to be so awesome!
We have a zone conference this week and I am so excited about it! Sister Kapisi is playing the piano at it and she is so nervous. She is really great at the piano though so I don't know why she is so worried.
Well now I'm not sure what I am going to write about in my letter but I hope you all are having a great time! I miss you all so much!
Please let me know how everyone is doing. Like Sisters Blake and Rachel Hamblin and Elders Graham and Hunter and Rex Hamblin. I just don't hear back from them as often as I would like.... I'm just selfish :)
You are all so great! I love you so much!
Kale- Hang in there girl, it's comming. God is just preparing your area of service for the best sister missionary that area has EVER seen!
Love,
The Oldest Sister Hamblin :)
