Letter from 8.25.08

Hey family,

Wow, where do I begin. This week was interesting. We knew on Thursday that Sister Mecham was getting transferred so we have just been saying good-byes and preparing for all that. I will be getting two new companions; a trainer and a greenie. This should be really fun to see how everything will work out since Sister Mecham burnt the bed that was left over from the last three-sum that was here. We are scrambling to find a new bed for the new sister.

Last night we had dinner and a lesson with the Neas' and Nick. That was fun. We had a lesson on Alma 23 and 24 about burying your weapons of war. I realized that I have some really big shoe that I have to fill once Sister Mecham is gone. She has touched so many lives. Everyone here loves her.

We tracted into this couple last week that is so golden it is unbelievable. He is related to like half the branch. He sees how there could be so many churches and that there is a need for a restoration. When we knocked on their door it was like they were waiting for us or something. But there is a down side. They are moving out of our area. Yeah, we went over for our first lesson and they told us they had bought a house and that they would be moving, but still wants to hear the lessons. Sister Mecham knows that Elders in the area they are moving to. She said that they are really good missionaries and that they would take good care of them.

Last Sunday there was a couple there that hadn't been there before. At the beginning of the third hour Pres. Strout pulled us out to meet the wife. Her name is Sallie and she wants to start the lessons again and get baptized. I was thinking ok lets fill the font. She wants her husband, who is a member, to baptize her, but he has some word of wisdom issues to work through. The cool thing is that when we went over for our first lesson he was the one who acknowledged the fact he had a problem with the word of wisdom.

Nicole, the one who just got married has a request, could you get the scripture mastery scripture stickers? She has been hounding me for them. I guess I said that I would get them for her wedding present or something.

Love you all,

Sister Foy
