July 19: An email to the Thompsons

Hi grandma and grandpa!

I love you both!




So, this morning Elder Rayburn called us and said that we had to set some goals to have a productive week!  It was during companionship study, so Sister Robinson and I started thinking.  We definitely want this to be a good week.  I definitely want to see someone agree to be baptized this week.  We had a great planning session on Friday, and I feel like we received inspiration from some of the most random and interesting sources.  But, we have a new plan and I'm excited!

Sister Robinson and I had a great transfer together.  I am so sad that it is ending.  I learned a lot from her and we learned together to be more bold as we find and teach our brothers and sisters about the restored gospel.  Saturday we had such a lesson!  This week was busy!  I, however, want to know how to have more productive weeks.  I guess I feel like we did a lot, but I don't know if it really got a lot done.
I guess I'll just keep trying this week.  I hope I can handle L'viv without Sister Robinson.  She is a great missionary and has helped many people in this great city!

I am excited to serve the Lord.  I love this work!  I love L'viv!

So, this week was long and crazy!  We ate well!  We made a quische, bought a huge watermelon, and ate lots of peaches, plums (yellow and purple), blueberries, apricots, and nectarines!  Can you see how spoiled I am!  We also had a farewell for Elder Rayburn.  He is a music major from Kentucky, and we served together in my fist transfer and his last!  He was my district leader and a great elder.  Lots of work this week!  But, I love it!  Are you going to send me some pictures of you and your cute little puppies?  I hope you have a great trip to Idaho!  You are great and strong!  I love you both!

So, I have an amazing branch president.  He made us chili a couple of weeks ago!  IT was hilarious.  I went into their tiny kitchen to do dishes and immediately started sweating.  I thought I was having an allergic reaction.  But, He just used WAY to much chili pepper.
Well, I don't have much time today, but I love you!

You two are amazing and I am excited for your adventures!   Keep up the amazing work you are doing and I'll look forward to hearing all about your miraculous deeds!

Love you lots!

Sister Murphy
