Dearest family of mine,

Ok, so best P-Day ever! Ok, I dunno if it was the best, but it was fun. And it reminded me of being at home cooking with MY mom, so I think that's why I liked it. Anyway, we had this great idea all planned up with the elders in our district to go play basketball at the stake center and make breakfast and or lunch or something and it was going to be fun. But then we wanted to make something for our bishop and his family, but the only problem is that he is a baker and so we wanted to make something from the states that he doesn't make here. So we were thinking and i thought, "hmm...cinnamon rolls" but we would have to do it on P-Day because we can't waste that kind of time any other day. So then i was wondering how I would make cinnamon rolls, and i couldn't remember. Maybe I never really knew. But then I remembered that sister Carter (President's wife) has a pretty good recipe (because i asked him what his favorite sweet was that his wife makes and he told us cinnamon rolls). So we called her up to ask. She said she would call us later because she didn't have the recipe with her at the time, but she would call us. Then she called us like 5 min. later and said, "Do you want to come to the mission home tomorrow and we can make cinnamon rolls together?" haha we were so excited because we have never been to the mission home. The elders have a chance of going because they do leadership training here etc. However, sisters never get to go. And the funny thing was that we were just talking about how we wanted to go to the mission home. So, we cancelled on the Elders. Here are some pictures of our adventure...they turned out pretty good. And now I have the recipe. And i hope that story made sense... haha

Oh, and some other pictures of our other P-Day adventures the past couple weeks. I don't know why I uploaded my picture of my green and pink socks, but I liked them. Just to remind you that yes I am still weird, just trying to be more like Jesus is all... :)

Ok, this week was full of miracles. Miracle #1...I already wrote about. Miracle #2...turns out the bishop has a violin. he let me borrow it to play at a baptism. and when i tried to return it, he told me that i could keep in the apartment and use it until i was transfered...which might be in 2 weeks or longer. :)!!

Miracle #3... we have been trying to teach more people inside their homes because well, you can't feel the spirit as well outside when there are all sorts of things going on to distract you. So we have been praying to teach people in their homes the first time we talk to them. And it happened two times this week!! That never happens, so it really was a miracle. Prayers do get answered, just so you know. Even for the littlest things (like getting to go to the Mission home... haha).

Miracle #4... an 11 year old girl named Paola was baptized!!! :) She really was very prepared. And her inactive mom went to church this week too. her mom has really, really progressed. Sometimes I think that some children are to be baptized just to help their parents in the enduring to the end process. I get just as happy seeing someone come back to church as I do with a baptism. She was so happy, and the baptism was soo good. the spirit was really strong. and even though not very many people went to the baptism, it was perfect. I'm going to send some pictures of her now. Anyway, I have run out of time to write more.

Until next week,

Love Sister Sarah Anne Yingling
