Behold, the field is white already to harvest;

Remember the Worth of Souls is Great in the sight of God.

I love the video! I couldn't help but laugh loud here in the library! I am just glad to hear that everything is going good there at home I am missing home but I am trying to be focused and not stressed out. and you and Syd are so awesome! I am so glad that you both are losing weight and feeling so much better about yourself! I feel like mine is fluctuating between gaining muscle and gaining a little bit of weight!

*When are transfers?  Do you think you will get transferred before Sister Clark has to go home?*
We just got the call and I am getting a new companion tomorrow! :( Her name is Sister Hinton and we already know because she is already in our zone and its called an in-zone transfer so we will drop Sister Clark off in Evansville and pick up Sister Hinton and go back and then I lead out the Area! :S and I am freaking out because I am not sure how to do it! but I have to apply 1 Nephi 3:7 into everything because without Heavenly Father I will fail.
*Is Sister Clark coming up to BYUI when she is done with her mission? - That would be awesome to meet her- have her over for dinner*  (BTW: Sister Gray went home this week.  I don't know if you remember her - but she was from Arizona, I didn't even realize she was done!  Her replacement is from New Zealand.)
She most likely wont because she wants to be closer to family down in Utah but she isn't sure yet. But I told her I would give her your address and if she wanted to visit you all that would be fine!
**What are you doing for you #100 Day out on your mission Celebration?  (we will celebrate by putting another sticker on your countdown chart:
Oh a hundred days? hmmm... I don't know probably proselyte or something-not much to do in Olney! haha but I will find something goofy to do!

I got a bike! Our branch mission leader was kind enough to give me his that he has had stored away for 5 years and so I will just have to clean it up and find a helmet and a U lock and hopefully when the weather gets even warmer we can save miles and bike around Olney.

The Ray family is getting so close mom! we probably will have four of them getting baptized on Feb 28th and I am excited because they want to be sealed as a family a year from their bap date and that means I can go back to see them get sealed! I haven't been in the temple in so long and I miss it  a lot ! and you and I will definitely go to the temple and get those 400 names done when I get back! And something interesting as Sister Clark and I have studied about when judgment happens it wont be a judgment based on our actions weaher they out-weigh one another but how righteous our hearts were. Whatever we do on this earth if it was in the direction of serving our God and we earnestly desire to follow Him and His commandments and thereby receive the Ordinances of the Gospel-then we are promised Everlasting life with our Heavenly Parents, Jesus Christ and families. I just am growing more and more each day and even though I get down and its hard to notice sometimes I have to remember the ending outlook on things and that I have done things that matter in the eyes of God. I love you all and pray that you will get school over, with the determination of enduring to the end!
Thank you for being a wonderful mom, I miss you!

Transfers verdict is!!!! I stay and Sister Clark leaves! :( I cant tell you all how much I will miss her! Things she has taught me?: Be genuine. Have common sense. Rely on the Lord. Be clean.
Sister Clark says how there is so much that we have both learned form each other and that it is inspired that the Lord would choose this time to change campanions so that I may not be a clone of everything that she is and can learn other ways to teach and study and preach the gospel! I know she says it however I truly cannot deny that I would love to keep her here and never change companions but we must go on!

This week was good! One of our investigators, His name is Chris, attended church yesterday and it was so cool because the entire Ray family came again and also many people that haven't been at church a couple weeks and holy crow the spirit definitely directed the meetings! Chris and his fiancé broke up- it was sad but we knew right off the bat that it was meant to happen because now he is zooming through the Book of Mormon. We kept talking with him last night and asked him to be baptized and he broke down crying and said "Yes, I will do that". He has been this beacon of light for both Sister Clark and I about how if we desire to be closer to God and we act on that desire that Heavenly FAther will welcome us with open arms and help us to feel the spirit.
   Also yesterday while we were in relief society Nikki Ray (we are teaching) and her 3 month old Daxton is screaming wanting a bottle so I offer to help and she hands me the botlle with water and the formula and asks me to put thre and a half scoops in while the lesson is going on and a lot starts to come out as I use the mentally challenging spoon to scoop it into the bottle and get a lot of our fingers and on her skirt! Her and I bust out laughing! The entire room (when we look up) is staring at us and only a few are truly snickering! We ended up laughing at a bunch of more things as class goes forward!
-Anyway the Ray's are still moving forward and have less than a month and a half left!
That's all for now, I love you all later!

The link to Syd's Wisdom teeth out that she was referring to.  If you haven't watched it - you'll laugh out loud!
