First of all, I'd like to extend a happy Birthday to JESSIE!!!!!!

You have something coming in the mail, but it's going to be late...so
in the mean time, gonna send a video to you!
Wednesday we helped K by cleaning her trailer that she used to live
in 5 years ago. She moved out because holes were developing in the
floor, so animals were coming in and out. She left when her bathtub
fell through. We helped her take everything in the living room and
kitchen areas out by the side of the road to be dumped, and scavenging
through books to find her family history research so she can scan it.
I can see why it would occupy her kind a lot. She doesn't own the land
and the owners want to demolish the trailer. She seemed really
relieved! I'm so glad we could help her.

The Big 18th Birthday!

Hello everyone!!
 Sorry I forgot to mention that this week is transfers. I got to read

> Normandy Sisters are being transferred, but Elder Weaver (our ZL) is
> going to Arlington and be a ZL in JAX East. Sister McCann and I
> actually knew we weren't leaving before the transfer call. Sister
> McCann and I had to drive to the Mission Office to pick up her new
> Pross Card from Bank of America. While we were there we ran into
> President! It was really weird because he wasn't wearing a suit
> jacket. First time I saw him without one on. We asked him about what
> his p-day is like and how they do their laundry. They use Saturday as
> their p-day, but a laundromat washes and irons their stuff. He showed

Happy St. Patricks day!!
Happy Birthday Jake!!! (You got something coming in the mail)
That's so cool to hear about Michael! He's gonna make a great missionary :)
It's been a great week! E got a job interview. K came to
Church!! She seemed to like it. This week has been really busy. The
iPad says that we have 13 new investigators this week, but we really
only have 7 or 8. I LOVE daylight savings! The sun stays up till 7:30
instead of going town at 5 - right when prime pross starts.
You remember when we helped an old lady move in last month? February
and 95 degrees outside. Anyway, she's a darling. She has stage 4
breast cancer and is moving in with her grandson so he can take care
of her. He was unfortunately hit by a drunk driver and can't do much
either. So we go over to help her out. She gave us Florida license
plates. She's probably 4 feet tall. Love her!
My poor companion...misplaced...her wallet. So sad. Don't know where
it went. We are now going about the process of replacing the contents.
Kind of stressful.. But we're singing lots of primary songs.
Not much else this week... Love ya!!

Dear Family,
That's so cool to hear about Trevor!!! The Philippines sounds pretty
epic. What do they speak there, Tagalog or something?
This week seemed really long. But at the same time I can't really
think of what we did. We called a bunch of people and set up
appointments and stuff for next week...
We did teach our first lesson on Skype the other day! Remember that
Jamaican lady who moved out of our complex last week? Well, this week
we taught the first lesson to her on Skype. K is going to read
and pray about the Book of Mormon! She's super sweet and I know that
if she does this with real intent, she'll feel the Spirit. She is way
versed with the Bible and knows what the Fruits of the Spirit are
already, and how to recognize its promptings. It was a really fun
lesson. Took us 30 minutes to set it up though. These Sister
missionaries are not the most tech savvy people of God around. The
Spirit can only guide you so far.
I don't know if I've written that much about my companion. Sister
Molly McCann is from Fairfield, California. Around the San Francisco
Bay Area. She is very easily scared, but loves banana bread. When she
thinks that something is cute, she calls it "tiny" in a weird baby
voice that makes me laugh. All of her friends at home are getting
married and she's kind of sad that she isn't going to be there for any
if their weddings.
Ward Conference was this past Sunday! There was "dinner" on the
grounds after the block of meetings in the cultural hall. So good!
Sister A came to church and E was there too. Bishop was
re-sustained interestingly. He kept talking about how he was going to
be released. I kind of feel bad for him. The food was really good.
We're going to drop E this week. He almost moved out last Monday,
but that fell through. It's basically just a waiting game until he can
more out. It's good that he is still going to scripture study class
Wednesday nights and goes to church every week.
I've got to go! Sister Clendon's hair needs to be straightened.
Love,
Sister Carlson

M'dear Family, In two days, I'll have been out for a year! It only feels like I've been out like a couple of months or something. We met this really nice Jamaican woman when we were dumping our trash. She asked us if we had another trash bag she could use. We quickly zipped home and got her two "fresh scented" trash bags that the Vans (the senior couple) had given us. We got to talking to her a little more. She'd never heard of the Book of Mormon before! Sister McCann has this great way of introducing the book with the pictures in the front that she did. We invited her to be baptized! She seemed really open to the idea! Totally elect! But then she's moving to South JAX, which is 45 minutes away. :( I hope she starts talking to the missionaries down there.
