Sister McKay Dickson: Week 75: Pretty Gnatsty

Yo yo everyone! My mom is sending this out yet again because I'll just be honest. I'm getting really tired of writing these after such a long time so I just keep procrastinating them until the end of pday.

Anyway! This was a super solid week. Sis Petey is a beast and Lewiston is the promised land as always. Except that there are gnats. EVERYWHERE. It was like this last year in Spokane in the fall but I swear there are literally so many here because its still so warm... So yeah its pretty gnatsty out here.

Things to know:

- REECE GOT BAPTIZED!!! It was so amazing. Her "not boyfriend" flew up from Twin Falls just to baptize her and he starts his mission today. It was precious. It was lowkey stressful bc I basically had to plan the baptism myself haha. We have like no coordination in the branch and it was transfers so Sis Mac was gonzo but I think it ended up okay.

- So yeah had to say bye to Sis Mac and I was #sad but its okay. I'll see her again someday. Said bye to a bunch of other friends that I probably won't see again for a fat minute either, so I'm playin #godbewithyoutilwemeetagain until then!

- Was in a little trio for a second until Hermana Wright got her trainee and that was lots of fun! She is a good sister :))

- Hit my 17 months..... AHHHH. So weird

- We moved our friend Brenas date to November 12th!!! She has work on Sundays so she hasn't been able to come to church yet, but she really wants to. So pray that she can get work off.

- I get to go to the temple this week for a convert in North named Deanna (only my favorite human in the entire universe) and I could not me more excited!!! And I'll get to see Sister Skinner who I literally have not seen in 6 months!!! Ahhh I cannot wait.

- Also Katee's baptism is this Saturday and I am soooo excited for her! Pray that everything will go well for it please.

- This one is literally just for my parents and Sis Mac: I ATE A WHOLE SAUSAGE THIS WEEK. A whole one. All by myself. No complaints too (at least outwardly). That's all. Haha I absolutely hate sausage.

Stories of the week:

- So here's the setting: We were at lunch in the boonies. At this tiny lil restaurant in Lapwai and we are the only customers. A tumbleweed rolls across the floor. Jk. But really. I'm in the middle of eating my delicious sandwich and this woman comes over (from where ??? I don't know) and says "I used to meet with the missionaries" and we were like "Oh thats pretty cool. Want to meet with them again?". Long story short she said yes #miraclesinthebooniesyoualreadyknow

- Also we met with the COOLEST referral this week!!! We go and teach her about the resto and she was so pumped during the lesson. Like not even kidding. She adds in "woah" or "that's awesome!" like every other word and then we gave her the Book of Mormon and she says "I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THIS". I have never met anyone so enthusiastic about reading the Book of Mormon. So yeah she's the coolest.

Spiritual thought:

- I'm so bad at these nowadays. Probably because I procrastinate my emails. Anywho. Currently reading the Index for the Book of Mormon and marking the names for Christ because why not?! Don't know if it's just because I want to be able to say I've read every single page of the Book of Mormon or to see how many pages talk of Christ. Either way, I'm feeling pretty stoked. I guess I'm officially a missionary if I'm stoked about reading the Index of the Book of Mormon Haha. But seriously. This Book has helped me more times than I can count on one hand. Please pick it up if you haven't in awhile, it's really good.

Love youuuu alllllll sooooo muchhhh

Thanks for all the letters

I'm never opposed to more

So write me before its too late
