#WHITE

Hello my people :)
 Just your weekly email from your favorite missionary ;) 

This week has been the best week on the mission thus far for sure :) 
 Amazing! I have no idea how else to express how amazing it has been.  It has been bomb!!  Yesterday, we had a baptism :) yup you read that right.. BAPTISM... so cool!

The baptism was for ____ and _____ they are 14, and 12!  They are awesome.  _____ already started saving up for his mission...  how crazy is that?  I just think about how many lives will be changed by just these two lives.. Their mom is working out a few things before she is baptized. She has such a strong testimony of the gospel. She was bawling her eyes out at their baptism. I was like wow this is so cool. Being a missionary is cool! Changing lives is even cooler! The baptism was amazing!

 Then PICO, my favorite person ever, (he was baptized in September) and he received the PRIESTHOOD yesterday too!  cool right?! He was so nervous and just had to be soooo prepared!  He was so ready and he is amazing.

This week has just been a week of miracles. It has been such an amazing week. The best week of the mission thus far! and I think I know why.. BECAUSE I AM GETTING TRANSFERRED :(  yup I am off to a whole new area with a new companion. I am so heart broken.  Sooo heart broken. So if you were going to send me love notes, I will send my new address next week ;) 

I have grown to love this area and the members of this ward and all the people! I am so happy I was able to teach those I came in contact with. However, I am NOT grateful for the dogs that have chased me in this area.. haha  

 One funny thing that happened.  Our zone leader Elder Dennis came with us to the families house to interview _____ and_ ____ for their baptisms. Well he went to go get a chair from the kitchen, and hes a tall kid, and the ceiling fan hit his head HAHAHAH and then we were just laughing so much, and then five minutes later he touches his head, and he is  bleeding! Its running down his neck.. hahah okay you just had to be there. but it was dang funny. So even though we are missionaries, bad stuff still happens. Like tall kids and ceiling fans. :)

An amazing week! and now I am leaving this area.. couldn't be more sad!  seriously.. so sad! 

I love my mission! I say it every week but I do.  I truly do. Lives are being changed and it is great to be part of that.

I hope everyone is doing well! Enjoy the snow where ever you may be! 

Oh my heck listen to this, so we have to bike once a week... and your girl doesn't have gloves, because I wasn't aware it gets freezing cold in Texas. So I rode my bike.. WITH SOCKS ON MY HANDS. hahah I didn't want cold hands. so yup, I had warm hands :) 


LOVE YOU ALL
Enjoy your week! Talk to you soon :) Thanks for all the support :)

SWAG FACTORY


First off, can everyone send me their addresses!? Por favor!! Especially if you want some love from your favorite missionary. ;) 

Okay, so much happened this week!!

The best thing that happened this week,
OUR INVESTIGATOR AND HER WHOLE FAMILY CAME TO CHURCH!!! What! What! so crazy awesome! we looked back, and she walked in with her kids. ahw such a blessing. So happy. Best day ever. So glad they came to church. She is making so much progress, it's so cool!!! Her kids have so many questions. I love teaching families, because it reminds me of my family! Go families!!!
Oh, but a huge bummer. I don't know when she will be able to get baptized. Because shes married to some guy who is in prison, and she has no idea what prison. She doesn't know how to get a divorce. ugh.. so basically mi comp and I are finding so much information about filling for a divorce hahaha fun. not. bummer. anyway, they are an awesome family!!

 We got to go to the temple on Tuesday with the mission! It was  amazing. So cool!! The president of the temple did the session with us and we got to have a Q&A with him afterwards too. So that was cool and confusing at the same time! Another thing that was cool was that my mission president said that during our session he felt like there were angels in the room, so he look around and was surprised he didn't see any. LIKE WHAT! that's so cool!!! 

I also got to do something super cool. I went on exchanges with another sister. SISTER HUNT! She is over a YSA branch, and yeah it was English speaking so that was super weird. We taught a guy who was on drugs too.. Oh and that was interesting for sure! on his door it said.. swag factory.. hahaha! 
Me and sister hunt went to lunch, and someone paid for our food!!! That was such a blessing! like amazing, such a cool feeling! So if you ever see missionaries, pay for them. You will receive blessings and they will feel your love. Because I felt like crying it was such an amazing feeling!! 

Another week! Crazy how fast time goes!!


LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Love,
Hermana Kaylee Widdison ;)
RITA'S... The best place ever!

BUMMER

It's already November!
It freaks me out how fast the weeks go by here.
Let me think of what even happened this week!
Oh biggest bummer this week  happened yesterday for sure. So a family that we are teaching struggle with a lot, so they didn't have enough money for gas to be able to drive the 35 miles to church this Sunday, so we were like hey we can find you a ride. So we found them a ride and she was so pumped. but then, at 10:30 she called us and told us her husband said no, and that their kitchen floor fell through. what?! How does a kitchen floor fall though?! I will tell you how. Satan! That's right! That's all I've got. We were super bummed she couldn't come to church!! Plus she wanted to come so bad!  So that's a BUMMER, but next Sunday she said she could come! So I am hoping she really can! Because church is great, and so confusing, because I don't know Spanish.  Hopefully they can come to church and receive all the lovely blessings of going to church! whoot go blessings :)

 Spanish, okay get this, I LOVE THE MEMBERS of my little ward! pretty sure it's about to be turned into a branch, but I love them. You may ask me why I love them so much, well let me tell you. They recognize I am learning Spanish for them, so they help me as much as they can. I practice Spanish and they practice English! plus my favorite person is Hermana Juarado! and get this, Hermana Taylor (mi companeria) says she has never fed the missionaries before and guess who shes feeding this week? yup us! Because Hermana Juarado loves me! whoot whoot!!

Oh and one thing, for Halloween, I was super sad because I couldn't have chili.. but hey get this, we had zone conference and for dinner a member of the English ward made CHILI and CORNBREAD. Awesome Halloween:) hahaha how silly am I?

The mission is great! I wish more happened this week but I am still doing work everyday, keeping busy, being humbled and learning lots :)

go missionaries!!
You love me and I love you!

LOVE,
HERMANA KAYLEE WIDDISON!!
