Hi everyone,

How are you all doing? I am pooped!!! We woke up early today and went to the temple for the 7:30 session and then we went and did this workout call the P90X which is all pliometrix so like jump squats and other jumping exercises, pretty much just a ton of jumping, plus I played a little bit of basketball, then we went and played pool and round the world Ping pong and this awesome game named Ninga which I will have to show you when I get home becuase its the best game ever! Then we had lunch and now I am here so my eyes are struggling to stay open! I am in serious need of a siesta!

I attached some photos from in the MTC, me being silly and my companions and my district. I would have attached more but my cameras battery just went flat! I

Being a missionary is so awesome! Man! We had some amazingly spiritual lessons this past week and we found 5 new investigators which means we are going to be even more busy this coming week!
We had a baptism on Friday night and that is the coolest thing ever! I was only there for half of their lessons but still it was an amazing experience to watch their changes and how happy they are because they have the Gospel in their life. I had a photo of them but I guess that will have to wait
So one of the investigators that we found this week is totally golden.. the first time we met her she asked.. "so what do I have to do to be baptised?" Cool huh and she is 23 and she has 2 kids. She looks kinda like Beth and is one of those people were you can just tell that you will get along great. Her 3 year old daughter is blind and she has just gotten a divorce. She was a foster child when she was 12 in an LDS family for only 60days and they stayed in contact with her! I'm really excited to teach her!

It is amazing when you are in a lesson when you can feel Gods love for that person! We had two great lessons with Diane this week who is committed to baptism. She is struggling with Joseph Smith as a prophet, which is kinda important to know when you are getting baptised lol! She is progressing really well though. We had a lesson on Friday and then again yesterday and Heavenly Father seriously wants her in his church. She is the one that has been investigating for 8 years. We were seriously being inspired and we found out a ton of her fears and other things that are holding her back and all of us (me sister Thomas, the member that came (there are two different members who are being her fellowshippers) and myself) had the confirmation that she knows its true. But she is still holding onto her fears but I think next lesson there will be good news. The lessons have been so specific and indepth. She had a priesthood blessing that just blew us away also! On Friday we left the room and she prayed for the answer and then when she went home she had some personal revelations about some of her situations, at church she had a million questions ansered and she went to a fireside and the person speakings grandfather or great grandfather personally knew Joseph Smith!!! She was just like.. wow, wow! Then on Monday as we were teaching her she was just so happy! She is nearly there. She is working with Sister Belnap who does counselling kind of like Kinesthesiology and they are working through her fears. We had dinner with Sister Belnap last night and her family (we had the best chicken ever PS) and she said that she thinks they have worked out why she is the only one that has worked out that she knows its true yet. It's interesting but I am going to leave that part of the story out! But trust me Satan knows our Weaknesses better than we do!!!! I'm telling you stay away from him!! Diane is such an awesome Lady. I can't wait to see the blessings she receives from being baptised!

We get texted referrals occasionally and we got a ton last week. We had time on Sunday night to go see one so we prayed and one of the names popped into my head that we had visited previously but weren't home. We got there and they invited us straight in! It was a family of 6 and the parents are on drugs I am pretty sure and they are inactive members but they want us to teach their 4 kids, 3 of which are of baptismable age. So that is kinda weird but we are planning on getting members to pick them up and take them elsewhere to teach them rather than in that home. The dad just got out of jail like 6 months ago too which is awkward. I think he said it was something drug related and he has track marks on his arms which tells me he is still on drugs. The poor kids!

Stacks of people that we meet have been in jail or just got out of jail! It is crazy and there is a guy that we are teaching who just got out and he is on parole so he won't be able to be baptised for a while. You can't be approved for baptism if you are on parole.

So we go to three different wards every Sunday and its the Bom!! I love it. The people here are so great and it is just amazing the support that they provide each other and us! Dinners are so good, we get a Sunday night dinner like everynight! We had a night last week where the members forgot about us and we decided we would just go get a Salad.... that was paid for buy random members there too. And that was a treat for us to not have to eat a heavy meal for once but I loooove dinners too cause it tastes so good!

So my food alergies are awesome! I am eternally bloated! Milk and me aren't friends but members seem to put it in everything. I had no idea how much people use it outside of our family! I have these tablet thingos that help a little though.

Wow tired!

Can someone please send these emails to Grandma and Nanny or send me their email addresses because I had them on a peice of paper but I'm not sure where that is anymore and I would love for them to talk to me sometimes too... Also Mary's email?

Thanks for the emails that I got today but I can only send this one. I will get back to you better next week! We still have a ton to do and I must nap as it is the one day in the week I can and I really need to!

Oh and Josh I got your letter on saturday! Thank you! Those quotes are amazing. I will get one back to you soon!

I love you all and miss you! I hope you are all doing ok!

Love Sister Natalie Huckfeldt
