April 11, 2011

Hey everybody!

Well, me and Sister Bowden got transferred.........PSYCH!!!!! We´re together again! Can you believe it?! We were so excited, we had the phone on speaker phone when the elder was talking to us and when he said we were staying together we freaked out!!! It was probably a little over the top, but we were super excited! So yesterday on the way to church we met up with our recent convert, Sandrinha and our friend Silvinha. We played it up a bit and told them that we were both leaving. It looked like they were going to cry so when we got to the church we told them we were just kidding. Sandrinha was so cute, she said she was about to cry and was thinking that she didn´t pray enough last night and that she needed to have more faith! It blew me awaay. We talked to a lot of the kids at church and I guess there were a lot of prayers said saturday night in our behalf. The members here really love us. And me and Sis. Bowden were talking when we got home sunday night that if it wasn´t for any other reason that we stayed, it was because of the prayers and faith of the kids that prayed for us. I felt really loved after yesterday. It was an amazing day at church too! It was fast and testimony meeting and Sandrinha and our other convert Davi were sitting with us and we were trying to get them to go bare their testimonies. So we decided all of us would go up at once......what a blessing to see the fruits of our labors! It was so neat to hear their testimonies, both of them were just wonderful!!!!!! I can´t even describe the feeling that i had. It was amazing!

Oh so I´ve been meaning to tell you guys for awhile now, but I always forget....me and sis. Bowden argue quite often. We´re getting better though, we´re goign on 3 transfers together now and we´re just barely starting to figure things out. We fight over doing the dishes!!! Haha She always thinks I do them more than she does, but we´ve decided to make a dishes chart to keep track of who´s turn it is. It´s a little out of control, and that´s usually not what comps fight over, but in our case....it´s quite a BIG deal.

Wow so you guys would not believe this!!! We were at the church saturday night to teach piano and english and a lady was throwing a birthday party for her one year old......it was off the top!!!! This is a party I´d never seen before for a 1 yr old. It was "The Little Mermaid" theme because the baby´s name is Arielly and holy cow!!!! I can´t even explain to you what it looked like the entire place was covered with decorations, had a cotton candy machine, food, cake, pop, candy, the works. And Arielly was dressed up as the little mermaid. She was really cute, but wow!!!! I´ll send pics :)

How was Alaska?! I bet it was super fun! But yeah, I think Brett is doing good, I guess he´s really busy working right now, he´s done with school for now and he´ll be going to Utah. I was hoping to be able to talk to him on mother´s day, but it sounds like he´ll be in utah. Maybe he´ll come home that weekend though, not sure, i´ll have to ask him. Is mother´s day may 8th?? And you guys should probably put more minutes on that card that I have. I don´t know how many its got left. Have you guys heard anything else on coming down here, plans, flight tickets, visas and what not??? And does my pres need to talk to the church or somehting about me coming home iin august or have you guys called the church or anything. Maybe you already did, im not sure. And mom can you find out when i need to have papers in to cbc for fall 2011??? I need to make sure i can get signed in for fall.

Well, i gotta go but i hope all goes well this week for everyone!!!!! I love you all and i miss you tons!!!!
Love, Sister Salisbury
