May 27- we moved this week!

We moved this week! Our new house has lots of Cockroaches and spiders. Sister Divis has a really hard time with them, so I am the official bug killer. I kill them all day erry day. Our water heater doesn't work, so I take cold showers each morning! But its ok. I honestly really like our house.

 I GOT YOUR PACKAGE this week mom!! Thank you for sending all of that, my comforter is awesome. I LOVE YOU!! This week I experienced a lot of high high's and low low's! It gives me a lot of comfort to know that Heavenly Father knows my heart and He knows my mind. When I have faith in Him, He can help me bear any burden. Christ knows all my pains and my worries and everything!! I am not alone. Alma 7:11-12. I am realizing that I have relied a lot on Tonya, and on being able to call you Mom or call you Dad from Hawaii or Montana. Not having any contact with you all (especially when you don't write! ;) ) has made me really rely on God for strength. A mission isn't easy, but LIFE isn't easy! Just wait til I have 4 kids and my husband works long hours or whatever haha there are always going to be hard circumstances, but once we accept that God can help us get through those moments if we have patience and faith, we will be ok. We have to keep praying and keep relying on God because He is the only one that can give us strength and true personal peace as we strive to obey His commandments.

 Tracey and Quay and Tiger are getting baptized!!! AHHHHH! On June 16th :)
 We had a lesson with them and it was so amazing as she told her story. She has been homeless with her sons and worked her way up. Now she has a home, and 2 jobs. She keeps the boys so well dressed and well behaved. They know how to pray, they know that God loves them. As we taught the lesson, she told us that she knew our church was true when she came to church. I talked to her about the temple and she said how excited she was to go there. We taught about Joseph Smith and when we told her that he was answered that none of the churches were true, and that this was God's restored church, she said "ooooh my goodness, I feel like Joseph Smith." We taught her that this gospel will make her happier than she has ever been, it will give her TRUE peace like she can't find anywhere else.

We invited her to be baptized and she accepted! :) So did Tiger and Quay. It was amazing!! Please pray for them that their baptismal date of June 16th will happen! Zone Conference was this week, it was really really good. I love President Barry and Sister Barry!! They are called to this mission for a reason. They are done in 5 weeks and then President Craig takes over!! I am scared to death that they are going to ask me to train someone and I am going to mess up their whole mission haha.
 Love you all, talk to you later.
 Love, Sister Dodd
