Booty Socks & Shakin fists

Hi everyone, well its that time of the week again, when I try to give everyone an idea of how Laura is doing. The weather in Rochester is very hot and humid, so all the Sister Missionary's wear knee highs. Laura was in need of some knee highs in a hurry so she bought some cheapies from the dollar store. Thinking they would work, they kept rolling down around her ankles. So they called them the booty socks and laughed all day. A baptism might be going down this week. Kellie 12 years old, and smart as a whip, is so excited to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Sister's are very excited for this event. Laura had the opportunity of holding her ground and reminding everyone not to give up on a investigator. A very nice lady who has a few vices, was told by a inactive member that the Mormon Church would be a great place for her to start in her search for the truth. She looked up President Hemmingway 's phone number and told him she really needed to see the missionary's. He called Sisters's Burns and Ure and within 12 hours they gave the first lesson. Laura said and I quote" She is our miracle that God gave to us. She might not get baptized this month or next, or next year., But she was put in our path for a reason and God wants us to teach her, we are part of his plan for her and all we have to do is keep working with her and make sure that she is taken care of after we leave." With that said, cute little Sister Ure promptly added " ah, look at my Baby all grown up and being a missionary." We both hate to see those two crazy Sisters split up. They are doing such wonderful work together, the transfer could be this week. I will let you know who the new companion is, but it will be hard to replace such a special companion. Another story about Sis. Ure. Laura says that she shakes her fist, making a point. Then Kolakos started laughing and before you knew it, little Sis. Ure was arm wrestling a huge Liberian on the trunk of the car, she lost, but not without much laughter. Kolako is still taking lessons and always says how much he loves his family, and he would do anything for them. That is such a great lead in for the Sisters, because of Heavenly Father's plan for families. Laura's new favorite quote is " We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are Spiritual beings having a human experience". Laura had a meeting/interview with President Hemmingway, and he told her she is 18% done with her mission. He was very proud of Laura and Sis Ure. Their beautiful smiles and bright countenance that light the way, open doors that otherwise might stay closed. They are very successful in their work for the Lord. I am so proud of Laura and her decisions to serve, she is so happy doing the work that needs to be done. The other day they walked 10 miles to a home. It's days like those that warm your heart and make Mom's so proud. Thanks for your love and support to my Lolo, we love you, Stay on the right side of the light side Love the Missionary Mommie and little Roo.
