Dear family,

I am attaching a photo of a big ugly toad that we had in our back yard.

Also, during one of our lessons on Friday, we were joined by a bat! I've seen bats swooping around at night, but this was the first time I saw one in daylight and crawling around. Maybe its wings were hurt or maybe it just liked the song, because it crawled right through our lesson as we were singing ''Families Can Be Together Forever.'' I wish I would have had my camera! But after some excitement chasing the bat around, we recovered and had a good lesson.

Sunday we had our first coordination meeting with our new ward mission leader. While we were discussing how to further the work in our ward (in the Bishop's office which has air conditioning!), a large storm rolled in. It was still pouring, complete with thunder and lightning, when we finished. The thunder and lightning were really close together, so we waited until the lightning was a little farther away. Then we ran home, getting soaked and laughing all the way, because there is really nothing else to do. I like getting soaked, as long as it's right before going home.

Changes week is always an interruption. And you can lose a fair amount of time with all the necessary good-byes. Going into Wednesday night, we had very few lessons for the week, but Sister Hill and I worked like crazy. We contacted lots of new people and taught lots of lessons. We even worked really hard to have members in as many lessons as possible. Friday was an exceptional day. Saturday was really rough, as we were just ready to throw in the towel for the day. Sunday we saw miracles again--six lessons in the afternoon, and each one of them with a member. (We took one of the YW with us for two hours, then a returned missionary, and finally we dragged an investigator to the house of a member family.)

I am going to send this fast because there is a thunderstorm rolling in. As long as the power doesn't go out, I will send a little more!

I love you all!

And just so you know what the other picture is...We cleaned our house this morning, and I defrosted our freezer. I was just about to give up, when the ice came out in several big chunks! I put a small ruler so that you can get a sense of scale ;).

Well that is just about it for the week. I love you all! Keep reading your scriptures, saying your prayers, and going to church, and we'll all be doing the same things!

And if you really want to, you can go knock on doors too and share the gospel ;)

I love you!
