Dear family,
This week I have to say was difficult, mainly because of my wonderful Grandmother passing away. I was thinking about her all week, and had a feeling that any of these last 7 days she was going to pass away. Every day all day I have been thinking of her. She is such a wonderful person. I didn't have the chance to write my stories to Aunt Kathy, but if it's not too late I will share it now anyways.
Grandma Keller, the first think that comes to my mind when I think of Grandma is SMILE. I always can imagine her smiling and laughing all of the time. She is a perfect example of happiness, no matter what happens she always has something positive to say and laugh about. She has the loveliest sense of humor and is always up for a laugh or joke. I remember Hayle
igh and I growing up together always going to grandma and grandpas house for sleep overs and games. We always had a wonderful time putting puzzles together, watching old movies...and fighting for the banana chair she had in her old house. Grandma would always mention going out in her back yard to play baseball, us 3. We did so many times. I remember she would toss the ball to us and we would hit it with a bat of course, and one time I hit the ball and it hit grandma in the nose..........(it wasn't way way hard... I must have been like 5 years old.....) I felt so terrible, but she immediately forgave me and said its okay, and would always give me big hugs and kisses. I would have that Bright RED lipstick all over my face. Oh how much I miss those days. ;) I don't know why I always remembered this story...I guess I've learned how to love and be patient with people who make mistakes. Grandma is such a wonderful example to all of us, she has so many Christlike attributes that she has had her whole life. She is such a wonderful person. I love her so much.

Aren't we so blessed to have the restored Gospel that allows us to be sealed together for all time and eternity. The more I learn, the more I'm grateful and want to share this knowledge with others who don't know there is life after death. I'm so grateful that I KNOW I can be with my beautiful Grandmother again.
Ill be brief about what has happened this week.
Like I said it was hard...our baptismal dates are slipping away....Michael is smoking again and won't keep his commitments. And Maria just wants time on her own to quit smoking by herself, then she will be baptized...It's all frustrating at the moment. The light just won't turn on in their heads, but they will come around.
I forgot to tell you guys about the weather here in England...It has been the best weather for the last 3 weeks, the sun is always out, its really hot, but its so nice, I feel more alive. It is so beautiful here always looking at the ocean and the big green hills, I need to send more pictures of this place, but I never have time.
I spoke to Jacob Folkerson last night on the phone and we had a nice chat. We didn't get to see each other because we are so far away and he is leaving on Thursday. He gave me such wonderful advice, we are very similar in many ways. I look up to that kid so much, he was my first AP and he blew my mind how powerful and clear his teachings were for the mission.
He gave me advice on confidence about when he became a ZL he didn't really feel like he should be a leader... but President Shamo (pres at the time) told him "As if, Lead as if you knew the gospel better, act as if you were the man for the job" and so on. I can't really repeat all he said, but I know I felt the spirit and I need to work harder and do things "as if" the Lord was with me. The phone call really helped me out.
Anyways family, I hope everything is going well for all of you, I sure wish i was there with you for grandmas funeral, I know it will be a pretty day for grandma.
I love and miss all of you, thank you for your support.
