Breaking News:

On Thursday, at approximately 12:07 pm, President Miles delivered our baby in to Sister Fonda and I's arms. We made the decision to name her after my first baby Sister Fol-Lett, but by shortening it to just, Sister Lett.

BABY LETT!!

Sister Lett is enjoying all the "accents" and the cultural jargon up here. She is doing great and we love her greenie fire! Still debating which of us is the "fun parent...." but we'll let Sister Lett decide. Sister Fonda is pretty hilarious and goofy so that will be a hard call.

Another reason why I'm lovin the Hat is because of Marjorie! Marjorie is a MIRACLE that we tracted into a couple weeks ago. She is so prepared! Her daughter was baptized by the elders 3 weeks ago and lives in another part of the city-- when we showed up at her door she realzied God had given her too many signs now for this to be a coincidence!! Two lessons ago we invited her to be baptized, she said she is strongly considering it, but wanted to know more. Yesterday we taught her again and we had a goal to put her on date for baptism. No matter how long you have been on your mission, this is always a daunting task. BUT we were determined. The end of the lesson was nearing, Sister Fonda and I were exchanging nervous glances and Sister Lett was like a bewlidered porcupine, and then we did it. We asked if she would prepare herself to be baptized on May 19th. The spirit was strong and I knew Marjorie was feeling it. She said she would pray about the date and she didn't know why she kept procrastinating because she felt good about it! We asked when we could see her again and she said "How about next Thursday?" Then we did my favorite thing missionaries do and completely ignored her idea for a meeting far too in advance and said "How about this Saturday?" It worked and we're seeing her Saturday to hear an answer to her prayer that I know she will get!

I'm a little scatter brained right now, you know, being a mom and all, so that's it for this week! God is gooood! Love you all!!
