(We got to talk to Natalie on Mothers Day! She sounded so great! She is loving her new companion and loving life! Her and her companion probably have too much fun...They made up a rap about Kalamazoo and sang it for us over the phone. We were laughing way too hard. Hopefully you can understand some of the words. We were glad to see she is still the same ol' Natalie! )

This P-day has been very crazy! actually this whole week has been really crazy!! I love not having a car just because you get so many ITL's all the time but it is so stressful trying to figure things out and try to find members to take us places and work our schedule with the bus system. I cannot even begin to tell you how stressed I have been this week...good thing Sister Jensen has been very patient with me!

last p-day was crazy too! haha Sister Cox stayed with me after sister nuttall left and she was a massage therapist....so I was okay with that!! she was like wow...you have A LOT of knots! but I have been doing yoga and my back pain is going away! :) yay for yoga! but then we picked up Sister Jensen and oh my heck I love her so much! I am sad that this is my last transfer! so we will only be together for one transfer! She is the best! 

Tuesday was a good day! we went and saw Amanda again! but her boyfriend just got out of jail....so that will slow down the process a bit but she told him to leave so hopefully he doesn't come back! he is super weird....sooo.....yeahhhh 

I already talked to ya'll about Brother Betts a less active but we had a really good lesson with him on Tuesday and the spirit was so strong! we text him Saturday night to see if he would be coming to church and he said yes! but he didn't come! we were really sad because we would just be so much happier! :( but we are visiting him tonight to see what is up with that!

Then we had a member who had just completely bent over backward to come to a lesson with us and I realized just how much I love the members here! they are so wonderful! they are so willing to help out and I just am so grateful for the all they do for us!!! 

Lindsey is doing super awesome! we had a lesson with her  and she was praying about prophets the night before and what we had planned to teach her was exactly prophets!!!! It is crazy how Heavenly Father directs this work!!! Most of the time without even us knowing it! She committed to read the Book of Mormon by the end of may and is already through Mosiah and she started a week ago!? like what the heck!? And then we had another lesson with her that I think we pushed passed he biggest concern of being completely forgiven! that was the most spiritual lesson I have ever been in! and you can just see the change in her!! I absolutely love it so much! Then we met with a less active we found...well I guess you could say he found us! he pulled his car over and asked us to meet with him....that does NOT happen very often! He is sooo nice! everytime we bore our testimonies he would say "that was very nice! thank you!" haha I loved it!

We had a church tour on thursday with Lorie and it was fun! we sang for her in the chapel! It was so wonderful the spirit was there so strong!! I love lorie so much! We also had a lesson with her and she said she would be baptized when she knew the Book of Mormon was true :) 

then sunday before I called ya'll we door knocked from 1-8pm it was horrible! but we had 45 ITL's that is a lot by the way! especially since NOBODY was home!!! but hey! all our appointments fell through...

it was so nice talking to you guys! I loved every second of it and did not want to go! but I know this is where I am supposed to be! I love the people here so much and I am really scared that I might cry a lot and probably throw a fit when I have to leave....so be ready for that! :)Thank you so much for all your support it means absolutely the world to me!!! I just pray for you everynight and ask Heavenly Father to make sure you guys know how much I love each one of you so hopefully he is relaying the message! I know this church is true and it is exactly what each person needs!!! I am thankful to have been able to grow up in the church! :)

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!! and hope you are enjoying how WONDFERUL SISTER JENSEN AND I ARE! I love her so much....it seriously sucks we are only going to be one transfer together...but sister carter and I already planned that I am going to be companions with her next....sooooo...not a big deal!

love, sister oswald!
