Well, it's the last day of September.

Do you know what that means? That means I have less than a year until I come home.
Yikes.

So there is a man in our ward that wanted to work on his home teaching list. He tried a couple of years ago, and all 4 families were inactive, and didn't want visits. But, said that they would be willing to accept a message in the mail. So, that's what he did. Well, our ward is doing a big focus on filling the empty chairs, and finding the one. So, this brother talked to us, and gave us the names of these individuals. one of which I had visited once, and knew that she had come to church a couple times, and wanted to become active! He was so surprised and excited! So we scheduled an appointment with her, and brought him with. It was perfect. When he introduced himself, the first thing she said was, "no way! It’s a pleasure to meet you! Thank you for those messages every month!" it was awesome :)
Quote from that night:

Sister Chatwin: So Corhior is what they call an anti-Christ
Woman: that's what I call Wal-Mart!

It was so funny! I love old ladies :)


This week has been really wonderful, as I hope yours has been. We did a lot of running around to help sisters. I actually finished weekly planning in one day, for the first time in probably, 2 months or so. Since I became an STL... that has been nearly an impossible feat. We are working on putting together a couple of white boards to keep our apartment and area more organized. It’s taken a lot of time, but i'm excited :)

On Wednesday I left the area to go on exchanges, and that was a blast :) we spent the morning at the beehive house- an old folk home. And it was so much fun! Wechatted with the cook, then sang and gave a short lesson to the 4 bodies there, only 2 of which could hear and respond. One of those two just wanted to sing us the song about black birds being bake din a pie. It was a blast :)

All the investigators are doing great. Again..... We are planning on seeing Emilio and his family tonight, and Cullen and his family tomorrow night. Fingers crossed. We really want to help them progress! This week kind of slowed down as far as people progressing... but I think this week we are going to try and step it up a notch. Or something..... We just have all of these people that are planning on getting baptized, but aren't progressing fully, because they are not reading, or didn't make it to church, or something. So, we're going to fix that this week I hope :)

Another adventure: Thursday night we were supposed to have dinner with a lady in our ward. Another old lady. (That always means adventure!) haha anyways, we heard stories from sister that had been there before, that this dinner was not generally a super positive experience. (House is just generally gross because of animals and things like that), and so eating the food wasn't the greatest experience because of the atmosphere. Admittedly it didn't smell that great. BUT, expecting the worst, we went. And we were surprised to have a lovely meal! Spaghetti, salad, breadsticks, pie... and all was edible and delicious actually. AND, she makes jewelry, and let us bring home a piece :) I was so excited! I ended up picking a beautiful little ring, that has a small green stone, and a small reddish stone (I think it's a garnet?). Anyways, I picked it because it's my NM chili ring. red or green? ;)

Friday after District Meeting, we always go to lunch. Well, we picked Panda Express. When we got there, there happened to be a member of the church there (I’m still not sure if any of the missionaries knew him) but he waited, and bought lunch for all of us. The total came to about $80. I can't tell you how amazed and grateful we all were for him to do that for us. It was great :)

Saturday we planned all day. And I rested. It was lovely :) then we went to the Relief Society Broadcast. There was a dinner before, and then the broadcast was wonderful. We had a new investigator there, and it was so cool to see her make friends, and ask questions, and really feel the spirit.  Then after the broadcast, we had to run over to another building for another missionary fireside. And that was super wonderful :) we got to hear from elder Richards, who helped put together PMG. And I got to see a lot of my old missionary friends. That was the greatest! The friends you make on your mission seriously become some of the closest people in your life.

And this Saturday, we get to help clean the temple. And Next Monday we get to finally go to the temple, AND it's conference weekend!
I’m so excited.


One day in my studies this week, I was reading in Alma 5:60-

"And now I say unto you that the good shepherd doth call after you; and if you will hearken unto his voice he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep; and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed."

Anyways, I just thought it was interesting that he used the word suffer. Like, it's a choice that we let in that wolf or not. We need to watch our flock (yourself, your family, church, etc.) and never let a weak point come so that the ravenous wolf (Satan, or sin) can come in. He is ready and waiting, circling relentlessly. We can never let down our guard, and suffer for the wolves to enter in. We must grasp and hold tightly to the iron rod; not just walk next to it. And then remember that we always have a shepherd to turn to. Our Savior is always there to comfort and guide us. Don't be afraid to turn to your shepherd for help. Live so you will know his voice, and always follow Him.


Well, I hope y'all have an excellent week!! Work hard, and find reasons to smile! Love you!

Love,

Sister Brown

Holy Moly

Hey all!

So, short on time again.  The kids are going to come in and take over the computers here in a sec...so we'll see how much I can fit in.

This week was excellent overall.  Everyone is doing really great.  :)  Well, everyone that we taught, that is.  We still haven't really been able to get a hold of Emilio and his family, or Cullen and his family.  Work and such, I guess.

But Max and Sandra met with Bishop last week, and are still planning on getting baptized with their little girl on October 26th, and getting married on the 12th!  So that's super exciting.  :)  Hopefully all of that will follow through like we want!  We are going to have an FHE  with them tonight at a member's, so I'm excited for that.

Amber and Phil made it to church yesterday with their family.  We had a lot of fun at a lesson last night...the secret is out of the bag.  Well, two secrets.  That I'm super jumpy and Halloween is Not my favorite holiday..  And they know my first name now.  Which...makes us feel closer somehow?  haha anyways, things are pretty good there.

Christina has been kind of difficult to get a hold of the lst couple of days too.  she still wasn't able to make it to church but we are teaching her tonight as well.  And we have a member that has been fellow shipping her and that is absolutely awesome.  : )

We had Zone Conference on Thursday!  I always love meetings like that.  We had a clothing swap, where the sisters can all bring and take whatever clothing they want.  I didn't grab anything this time, but we got to the meeting around 6:45 am to help set up, and do car inspections.  Then we were at the meeting until...like 4:15 or so.  It was great, and I learned all sorts of fun things!

Friday was planning all day.  And helping sisters and such.  We did a couple of exchanges this week.  Those are a little hard to just not be with your comp, or in your area so frequently, but overall it's way fun.  ; )  Again, learned lots of good things.  I went on a Spanish exchange.  I didn't know what was being said or going on at all most of the day.  But I learned some Spanish, so that's pretty fun!  I also got a hug from an old man.  it's always a little strange when that happens.  lol.

There was one night where I just wasn't sure what I was going to do with myself.  Things had been kind of hard...just emotionally and everything.  Anyways, I needed some kind of break and release.  So we ended up just buying some treats at the gas station across the street, and relaxing for about 4 mins.  I think I went a little overboard with the caffeine and treats, but I emotionally needed a break so I could actually focus.  It was good to just be weird for a night lol.

It rained a lot again.  We had a couple good storms...last night it just came out of no where, and hailed and it was awesome.  : )  I'm SO glad that it cooled down so much.

Anyways, that's about it for this week.  Love y'all bunches!  Keep working hard, and remember to always be happy!

Love,
Sister Brown

It's raining again

Well, this week was fabulous! It rained. A lot. Apparently it's because the state fair is here, and it always rains when the fair comes. Or at least that's the word on the street.

Amber and Phil and family- we didn't get to meet with them this week. Amber is working crazy hours still... so it's tough to ever get over there. And they were sick this weekend so they weren't at church... BUT other than that they are well, and we're still preparing for baptism this November :)

Emilio and Nichole... work is also busy, so we haven't seen them in like 2 weeks. Bummer deal.

Max and Sandra came to church again this week! (This time without their dog). They stayed for all 3 hours and seemed to like it a lot. They also had an interview with bishop about what to do to get ready for marriage and baptism in a few weeks :) so things are progressing.

Christina... SUPER AWESOME!! We went and taught the restoration, and things went super well. When I say her kids are crazy, I mean, literally climbing walls and hanging from ceilings, and running and screaming. Out. Of. Control. But we taught the restoration using a cup object lesson. They got to help, and it went pretty well. But the little one was still screaming the whole time. Well, when we got to telling the story of the first vision, suddenly the room was silent. For the entire story the room was quiet. The spirit filled the room, and it was incredible. At the end of the lesson, we all talked about how we loved being there, and how they loved having us there. They’re going to get baptized on Oct. 13 :)

Dolly is doing great! Again, progressing slowly. Some things just go way over her head and what she is used to. So she's not on date yet, but I know she will get baptized one day :) I love teaching her. She is so genuine and just way cool.
  
We didn't teach really very many lessons this week. A lot of people were sick/busy. But I think this next week will be great!!

I had a few adventures this week though!

1. So this was actually last week and I forgot. But we had a member out with us, and we were going to go visit a family, but they cancelled last minute. So we still went out with the member, and asked if she had anyone she wanted/needed to visit. We went to a lady's house that had been on her mind. When Wanda opened the door, she practically fell into sister Dodd’s arms. We walked her back to the couch, and after 30 mins or so of trying to find a pulse and keep her conscious, we called 911. Then after they got there and evaluated things, they were bringing her out to the gurney and her face was drooping. I had just watched someone have a stroke!! It was a miracle that we were even there to help. It was amazing
(ps- she's okay now)

2. A couple nights ago, it had been storming, and we were stressed, and so it took us a while to fall asleep anyways. We were both kind of restless. Then, at about 4:10 in the morning, we could hear alarms going off. Sure enough, the fire alarm for our building was going off!! We didn't smell smoke, so we grabbed shoes and sweatshirts, and I grabbed the phone and my BOM, and we walked outside. What was most alarming... was that no one else was leaving the building. But either way, we stayed outside. We walked off a little ways, and sat in the Laundromat for a bit... soon the fire department showed up. They inspected things, and then eventually came over to us and asked if we had a phone. I called the office emergency line and left a message saying that there wasn't a fire, but the firemen were there and the alarms wouldn't stop. So we got clearance from the firemen (that were much too happy for 4am) to go back to bed and try to sleep, and sorry that they couldn't turn off the alarm. We were so tired on Sunday let me tell you.


But I think my favorite parts of the week were the little things. Visiting all the sisters. Watching max and Sandra try not to fall asleep during the opening hymn. Coloring on white boards. Lots of rain.

Oh and last night we were the speakers for a single adult fireside 30+. (I never knew how much I LOVE public speaking! ...what?) Anyways, we taught about the joy in service and missionary work. It went really well :)

And I had SO many insights in my studies this week! I think my favorite was when I was studying Jacob this morning. In chapter 4:14, it's talking about how the people look over the simpleness of the word they have already been given, and desire more. Well, God tells them, "That’s not a very good idea". But they think they know best and ask for things that are more complicated. I think we do this a lot. We think we know best for our situation, and ask God for specific things, not just for what's best. And eventually God will say, "Fine. Let's see how you think things should be done." And usually, we fall on our faces, and then have to go back and say, "God, you were right." that's if we learned our lesson that is. Sometimes it becomes a vicious cycle.

Doesn't God have some awesome parenting skills? No wonder he is our Heavenly Father.

Have a fantastic week!!! Love y'all so much!!!

Love,
Sister Brown

Stress is...good?

So, this week has been pretty good.  A lot of really good things have happened, and a lot of moments where I want to pull all my hair out.  But I'm learning that that's normal.  : )

Amber and Phil are doing great.  They have both met with the Bishop, and are making a plan to progress towards baptism.  We were able to set a date for the whole family for baptism!  Because they need to get married and a few other things, the date is November 16th.  Lessons have been going so great, and we are SO excited to help them.  The boys are going to scouts this week, so we're excited for that too.  : )  And another fun thing?  They all walked into sacrament meeting yesterday, a little late, and all the girls had new dresses and the boys were in white shirts.  I had told them that the shirts didn't have to be white, so they've been wearing really nice light blue ones...but they wanted to fit in a little more and be more respectful, so they got white ones.  It made me smile.  : )


Max and Sandra...I don't rember if I've told y'all about them.  funny little couple.  They have been taking lessons for like, 2 years.  They just moved into our ward so we're teaching them now.  They are a little older, but have an 8 year old daughter.  They will be getting married at the beginning of next month, and hopefully baptized on Oct 26th!  Also funny...when they walked into church yesterday, a little late, Sandra was holding their little dog.  Not sure that I have ever seen a dog in the chapel before!  : )

Cullen...we're still working with.  We're really hoping that we can set a date for baptism here soon.  We just found out that Theresa (his fiance) is pregnant!  Which is super exciting, but may cause some complications as far as them  progressing towards marriage and things...like I said.  Mostly I can just tell you that it's really complicated, but with the Lord, it will work out.  : )

Emilio and Nichole and Candace are on date as well.!  (Cain didn't quite want to commit because he doesn't like water...we'll figure that one out soon.)  But they will be getting baptized on October 26th as well!  Emilio really wants to be able to be sealed to Nichole.  It's really sweet, so we're excited to help that along.

Basically, we should be having a lot of wedding and baptisms soon!  :D

Dolly is doing really well too.  She is progressing, slowly.  Like, we can tell she really wants this, but we have to teach her really simply because she doesn't really retain everything immediately.  But she is so sweet.  : )

We met with a lady named Christina...super cool.  She is a member referral and we are going back next week to teach the plan of salvation.  Can't wait. : )  But, her kids are super crazy.  So, sister Chatwin entertains while me and the member teach.  It's great.  haha!

So one of my goals this transfer is to finish the BOM in the transfer.  (remember how I had 6 weeks to read it before my mission and failed?  Well, I'm going to try again to redeem myself.)  I finished it once already, and it was SO good.  So, I'm reading it a little faster now, and it's just as good.  I'm learning so many new things every time.  I was thinking a lot about the story when Nephi and his brothers are going back to get the brass plates.  Nephi knows that they are being asked of the Lord, but he also learns that that doesn't mean that ti's going to happen on the first try.  The Lord's hand is leading but Nephi has to come up with several solutions on hi own and fails twice before anything actually works.  The Lord asked him to complete a task, but didn't give him all the answers right away.  How else is he supposed to learn and grow right?  So, same thing with us in this life.  We may be asked to do something.  And even if we are obedient, and go right away, doesn't mean that we are going to succeed the first time.  Sometimes we have to try different ways, and try different solutions before we know what we are to learn, and then go forward.

I hope that y'all are finding happy things in every day and loving life.  God is good, and I am so grateful to be able to see His hand in my daily life.

Love ya'll so much!!

Love,
Sister Brown

And all that jazz

SO, today's is going to have to be UBER short cause I’m out of time. I’ll just give you the quick low down of everything, and I’m really sorry that I didn't allow myself enough time today.....
Anyways. Transfers. I’m staying in Canyon Heights, and my new companion is Sister Chatwin! We were actually in the same MTC district, so I was beyond excited when I found out that we were going to be companions!! She is super smart and is basically a nurse in training... which is great because we have a lot of sisters that call us sick, and now someone can actually help them! ( I generally play tough love.... rest for a bit and go to work!)
Also, thank you all for the birthday wishes!! They were so great, and my day was wonderful!! It was supposed to mostly be planning... but of course it never goes that way. I woke up and sister Leonhardt had decorated the apartment with sweet notes and pictures and things, and we blew up some balloons. We spent the morning making calls to the sisters. We also usually expect a call from our ZL's to check up on us. Cool thing... they called and when I answered, they just started singing to me! I have the coolest ZL's ever :) then, because we didn't have enough planners for the next transfer, and the ZL's didn't have enough miles, we went to the mission office to pick up mail and supplies. That’s always an adventure :) Sister Dennis (an office lady) sang to me in her cute southern accent. And everyone wished me happy birthday :) we also went to lunch at waffle house, and it was delicious, and just like home haha. The new peach waffle? go buy it. Way good. AND, even though a couple of men said some... interesting things about the church. the cashier gave me 10% off for my birthday even though they usually don't. Score! :) Then that night Phil and I have the same birthday, so we went over there for a party. He made kind of a southern dinner with BBQ ribs and pulled pork and stuff like that. SO good. And then we had cake, and a lesson. It was fabulous :)
Over all everyone is still doing really well. We had a lot of people cancel on us this week, so actually not that many lessons.

Amber and Phil and family are doing great :) they are all coming to church and really loving it. Things are really looking good there..I mean, there are a few bumps in the road, but I think things will smooth out here soon.
Ashley and Tony.... dropped us this week. But just because they said that they want to get a firmer grasp on what they already do believe, and they will call us again when they want to meet.
Golda moved to Wyoming... :(
And we weren't able to meet with Emilio and Nichole and fam yet. Apparently it was a crazy week for everyone.
Also, check out the mission FB: NMAM lds
Sorry this week is brief. Love y'all!!

Love,
Sister Brown

5 new investigators, 2 exchanges, 1 new family, and 0 breaks...

But a lot of fun.  : )

Something I learned this week. To NEVER go on back to back exchanges ever again.  That was the most stressful time of my life.  (kay, maybe not of my life, but I don't want to do it again.)  I left on Monday night, and I spent Monday night and Tuesday in a singles branch with Sister Rosa.  I'm pretty sure that she and I were meant for each other, and I pray that we will gt to serve together one day.  We had so. much. fun.  And worked super hard too!  We always witness miracles on exchanges, and that's the best ever.  :)  Then, I came home Tuesday night, and immediately had to run to a youth night to teach the youth, and my companion left to another area.  I spent all day Wednesday with Sister Blake, whom I'm also pretty sure we were friends before this life. (In fact, when she and I met a couple transfers ago when she was a brand spankin' new missionary, those were her exact words to me.)  Anyways, that day was a little slow.  I felt sick, we went slow, and got to talk to a few people.  It was such a relief when I finally got my companion back Wednesday evening, and we then rushed to an appointment together.  I would rather be stressed and crazy with my companion.  (I really like to think that I won't be very awkward when I come home.  But then I realize I've developed weird habits of backing every car out of the parking spot.  I'm hearing music I've never heard before.  And when my companion steps away to talk to someone for a minute, even though she's still in sight and sound, I feel like I've lost a limb or something.  As much as I miss alone time...that will be really hard for me to get used to again when I get back.)

Well, we met with Golda on Wednesday.  She made dinner, but we didn't end up really having time for a lesson.  So we'll try again this Wednesday.  They are hopefully going to be moving, so that will be good. : )  They need a new place with more room desperately.

We met with Dawn briefly yesterday...Sis. Leonhardt was able to say goodbye. Things were fine, but we didn't really teach anything.  We'll give her some space and maybe try again for reals in a couple months or so.

Amber got a new job this week doing hospice.  She works crazy hours, so we weren't really able to have a lesson this week.  BUT, the whole family came to church yesterday, and really liked it.  We are seeing them on Tuesday and we're going to teach them a little more, answer questions, and get them more on the road to baptism.  Austin said yesterday that he really want to get baptized.  : )  We're also going over on Thursday for birthday things.  (Phil and I share a birthday.)  So they said that we would throw a party of sorts.  I'm excited.  : )

Emilio and Nichole are doing great!  They missed church yesterday because of a birthday party and such, but we did birthday things over there for Candace.  They are such a fun family.  : )  And we're going back a couple times this week.  They are reading the BOM, and I think they are starting to notice a difference in their lives.

A brother in our ward, Brother Dodds, referred us to another man.  He home teaches them, and the dad is not a member.  His name is Cullen, and he too is ready for baptism.  : )  Problem...there's a lot of drama that has to be worked out.  I won't tell the whole story because it's SUPER involved.  But basically, they are working a bunch of things out so that Cullen can enlist in the army.  When that happens, Theresa and Cullen can get married, and then Cullen can get baptized before he heads to boot camp.  So we have a small window to work with.  But, we asked him to read just a few verses, and he said that he reads anytime that he feels stressed or anything, and he has really liked it a lot. It helps.  And his prayers are getting a lot better.  He and Theresa came to church yesterday and had a good time.  : )

We got a media referral last Monday.  She got online and referred herself.  Her name is Ashley, and her husbands name is Tony.  They have had a lot of really good influences in their lives that have been Mormon.  Just a lot of people setting a really good example.  One thing that Tony said, is that he feels like Mormons are kind of the last civilization.  That we are holding the mantle for everyone else.  They just kept wondering what makes us different.  We're excited to keep teaching them too.  : )

And then finally, last night, we met a guy named Adam.  He is super active in his church, but likes to have us over.  He's headed to Utah next week for some training, so he's going to drop by Temple Square, and he'll probably go to one of our churches out there.  Good man.  : )

Anyways, that was the excitement for this week I think.  We have a lot of good things coming up too!  And it's Sister Leonhardt's last week.  Ever.  I am so distraught about that.

This morning I read a couple conference talks on peace.  The 3 most important things that we need to find that true, deep, inner peace (as compared to a contentment), is 1. Reading the scriptures.  Really feasting on them and studying them and taking them into your heart, and then applying them.  2. Praying.  And nothing rote, but a sincere conversation with your Father in Heaven.  You know how when you were a teenager, and Mom used to say, "call me when you get there!"  She wanted to know you were safe, what you were doing, how you were doing, etc. because she loves you.  It's the same way with God.  He sent us to Earth, and gave us the power of prayer so that we could, "call Him when we got here."  He loves us and wants to hear from us.  3. Take the sacrament weekly.  Go to church every week, and take the sacrament and remember the atoning sacrifice that our Father has given for us.  And with these three things, we will be able to build our lives on a solid foundation and find that true peace in our lives that we all yearn for.

Love ya'll!  Keep on smiling, and working hard!!

Love,
Sister Brown

Basically, life is grand!

So here's the thing, my life is just about the same. Insane.

We spent a lot of time working with the sister this week. We went on exchanges once, had a leadership meeting and got a lot of good inspiration there, and lots of other good things that keep us busy. Usually we do weekly planning on Thursdays, but we had a lot of appointments and things come up on Thursday, so we did weekly planning on Friday! (and District meeting was cancelled, so that was a bummer, but it finally gave us enough time to plan!) Also, we like to 'plan and tan'. We find a picnic table, or spread out blankets, and take all of our binders and such, and go plan outside. It’s the BEST :)

As I told you, we talked to Dawn on Monday, and she had completely given up her coffee and whatnot. She was struggling a lot, but she was dong alright. We called her on Wednesday, and set up a dinner for Thursday. Things sounded positive, and we weren't worried about her at all. But then, we received a call on Thursday morning, saying that she couldn't do it anymore. She said that she was done, and it was too hard. She went to her Lutheran church yesterday, and that she didn't want us to come and teach her anymore.

That was so hard to hear. Everything was going to go so well, and she knew that it was true, and then decided that things were too hard. That's another thing that I am learning on my mission. Sometimes things are really hard. Sometimes you feel sick, or your companion is lazy (not a problem I've ever had thank heavens), and no matter how you feel or what happens, the work still needs to happen. People still need to be taught, so you go and teach. And it's so hard to see when people know that this gospel is true. When they see that this is the path that they need to take, and then they give up. They don't cling to the truth, and they turn away. It’s so hard to watch.

We are going to go and visit her one more time this week to see how she is doing, and to take her a little gift, but I’m not sure what to expect.

Amber and Phil are doing great!! Amber and the kids came to church yesterday. It was a little long for them the first time, so they only stayed an hour. But next week they are planning on coming again, and I think that the kids will really enjoy primary and such. It was a good experience. We have been teaching them for only a couple weeks, but it feels like I have known them for a way long time, and I have been teaching them for a while. It’s weird to think that it's been such a short time.

We also had a really neat miracle story with them this last week. We went over a couple of times, and on Thursday we had a member with us, and we were going to review the Restoration because the boys had missed it the first time. When we got there, they had invited another friend, Amber (2), to come too. I think she had been staying at their house or something. Anyways, we were chatting, and as we were saying an opening prayer, Amber (2)'s baby (3 months old), started having a seizure. It was so sad. It was hard to watch her suffer when there wasn't really anything that we could do about it. We took the opportunity to teach about the priesthood, and we offered her a blessing of healing for her baby, and one of comfort for her. She accepted, and we called our District Leader, who came over right away. They blessed the baby, and Amber (2), and the spirit was SO powerful. It was incredible. They said that the baby would be healed, based on her mother's faith. She was busy this weekend, but we will try and send missionaries over to her house soon, and maybe she will come to church too.

Amelio and Nichole are doing wonderful! We left them with Moroni 10:3-5 to read. She said that when she read it, she really felt the spirit. It just kind of hit her. She read it to the whole family, and it was exactly what they needed at the time. We are going over on Thursday for a birthday party and another lesson this weekend. They are so neat, because they tell us about how ready they are to learn. They are so excited to learn more and feel the spirit. Such a neat family :)

Golda has had a pretty crazy week too. We taught the restoration on Wednesday, and we will teach again and have dinner with her on this Wednesday. It’s going to be great :) I love her so much!!


Ether 12 was my big study this week. Focus on faith. Miracles happen when we have faith, and we will receive no witness until after the trial of our faith.
"There is no growth in your comfort zone and no comfort in your growth zone".

Anyways, love y'all. You’re the greatest! Work hard this week, and make it a good one!

Love,
Sister Brown
