Week 20!!! Cacti and Cars :)

Why hello everyone! 

This last week was the bees knees. We had some pretty great things go down here in the Chicago area.  :)

First of all, last week we got a phone call from our vehicle coordinator saying we were due for a new car... we were driving and ANCIENT one from 2014..... Dinosaur of a Chevy Cruze... ;) but they just bought brand new 2017 Chevy Malibu and 2017 Subaru...... we were SO PUMPED... so we get the Chevy Cruze all vacuumed out and looking great, went through the funnest car wash ever... it's like a conveyor belt you put your car in and it just goes! Coolest thing ever. Free vacuums. Best day of my life. Anyway, so we get to the mission office and are looking for the cool cars and we get handed new keys... we click the unlock button to hear it beep and guess what beeped... A 2017 TOYOTA SIENNA. AKA: MOM BUS. We fake loved it, but now it's actually rubbing off on us... we extra mom talk about our kids' soccer teams and how we are stressed out about our food storage. :)

Arthur is back on date!! Whoo! He is the greatest you guys. We also meet a lady named Gladys who is now an investigator!  YES! She is from Puerto Rico and always gives us orange Fanta when we go to teach her.  Rubby is the greatest person of my life. She came with us to 3 back to back lessons. Arthur, (we put him on date in that lesson....she was freaking out) then Gladys, who speaks Spanish so Rubby was a huge help, and then to C*'s... who's living situation is not the best and you come out smelling a little different than you did when you went in. But she was a CHAMP THROUGH IT ALL! She loves it! 

I spoke in sacrament again.... it went very well!  I love this ward so much.  They have truly changed my life.  We had interviews with president, that was the best.  I love being a missionary so much!  We come home dead tired and we always look way different than we did that morning,  but Heavenly Father still loves us! Right? Of course right.  ;) Transfers are this Saturday.  I do not want to be transferred. This last transfer has been SO fun.  We have worked so hard, played so hard... our goal and motto for this transfer the second sister Jardine walked through the door was WORK HARD- PLAY HARD and we have accomplished that goal. :)

I have such a testimony of the Savior.  I love Him.  I would be nothing without Him.  I know that our Father in Heaven loves us,  there is proof of that all around us. He gives us our families and those we love, He gives us a way to clean up after we mess up,  He gives us prayer, scriptures, prophets,  the priesthood,  His SON.  I could keep going.  I am so grateful for my patriarchal blessing.  That has been such a strength to me on my mission.  It's scripture JUST FOR YOU.  Heavenly Father makes us promises, and he NEVER breaks his promise.  "For I the Lord am bound when ye do what I say,  but when ye do not what I say ye have no promise." Read Mosiah 2:41!!!

Love you all a bushel and a peck!  

Love,  Sister Bair

P.S... I bought a cactus.  It's name is Ricardo.
