Holy smokes, this is taking forever. It is one of those days where I think Satan is not going to email the family. We came at the original time that we usually come but every computer was taken. We came back in an hour and now it is taking a very long time to get onto the email. It is kind of frustrating. But I am going to be typing the letter on word and then attaching the letter to save some time.This week was pretty eventful. We were not able to teach a lot of lessons or find any new investigators but we had fun with the week.We went on a hike Halloween day and it was so much fun. I have not been hiking in such a long time. It was definitely worth it. We passed out some candy that we had gotten from other people that we really did not want to eat and it was fun to see all the trick of treaters.One day we were going to go teach Maryah and we walked to her house to find that her grandma’s car was not there and that meant we would not be able to meet with her even if she was home. We kept approaching the house and wouldn’t you know, the grandma pulls up. MIRACLE. J So then we stand there and wait for maryah to get out and her brother was yelling at her and for a moment I thought he was going to attack her and hurt her. I was going to jump in front of her if that happened. Her brother is one troubled boy and he is only 15 years old. I don’t really know how to help him. We also got to watch the Joseph Smith movie with her on Saturday and it went well. She colored her hair black and it looked so good. I was very surprised at how it made her look so much more mature. It was way cute.Thursday was wet and cold. It rained all day and we were out pretty much all day. We went around and passed our invitations to a lot of people. The invitations were for what took place yesterday and will tell you about that later. I don’t think that Sister Ford was too pleased to be going out but we went out anyways.Something else awesome happened on Thursday night. I figured out that I lost my wallet. How awesome is that? I am a nobody right now. Haha. No drivers license, no social security number, no nothing. It kind of feels weird to be going around being a random person. Sister Ford is driving now and I get to relax and be the passenger. It is pretty nice actually. Hopefully everything will work out in the end.We went to district meeting and I had a heart to heart with sister mikami and it felt so good to talk to her. She listened to all the stress I was feeling. The wallet being the top of the list. I didn’t feel all that worried about it but now today, I am very much getting stressed about it for some reason. Everything will be just great though. I know it will. But something cool happened after district meeting. We usually go to wende’s to eat and we were in line (six of us) and this guy comes up and says, “can I buy your food for you?” Sister Mikami and I looked dumb founded. Who would just come up to us and say if they could buy our food? The guy said that he was a member. Then all looks of confusing dashed from our faces. That was such a nice guy. I was thinking inside, “He knows I lost my wallet and don’t have any money.” Of course he didn’t but it is cool that he was part of a miracle and he has no idea. Later that day we tried to find the wallet again but no luck. I am sure I lost it on Wednesday when we got a card for an investigator who is going through a hard time. I think I tossed the wallet in the car and it feel out of the car onto the parking lot and I didn’t pay attention and then later on someone picked it up and is now having fun with it. Or maybe they are a trustworthy person and they saw my address on my drivers license and are sending in to the home. I am hoping for the second option.Sunday night we had a music fireside. It was a pretty good turnout. The songs were all wonderful and the spirit was very present in the songs that were played. I didn’t know it was so stressful until I came home from it and I felt like a burden was lifted. There were a couple non-members there and each one of them thoroughly enjoyed it. I am hoping that we will be able to teach them sometime soon. There were so many people there that I know that were not from the ward. Sister and Elder Foote from Tell City came. With them were sisters Waite and Goodman (two of my companions) and Daneen Hinkle. Daneen is going to be going on a mission and I am so excited to hear where she is going to go. It will be fun. I played a poor wayfaring man of grief by jon Schmidt. It turned out really well. I only messed up once because my hands were sweaty and they slipped of a note. Haha.I love you all very much. Nothing else has really happened. I can’t wait to see you December 21st!!!! Love, Amanda
