hola familia!
yay i'm glad you got that letter! sorry it got there after fathers day...it would have been way better if it got there on time but whatever. oh man, you had me worried with pali's leg! another sadie hawaii experience. lucky its not broken! he would not have a fun time and the beach if he couldn't get in the water. hmm is the beach trip early this year? who are you going with again? aww the beach :( i hope you think of me when you eat donuts and fish tacos. oh well. i love being in New York! yyeeaauuhhh goin to church on vacay? dedication. that will be fun. hmm lets think of what happened this week. i'll start with the most exciting thing. i got to go on exchanges with sister stephens for a day! it was so fun to be with her again! she is seriously the nicest and most fun person ever! we talked about the Aumicks the whole time of course. i got to ride a bike on exchanges too! not as hard to ride a bike in a skirt as i thought it would be and it was fun too! i went on fort drum again for a dinner appointment and for an institute class. we met with one of their investigators and he had the coolest porch decorations ever. they were allll cowboy. i wan them all. also...more super exciting news....sister barley and I are training this upcoming transfer!! we get a new sister to be with us! we're so excited! also Aurora is getting baptized this Thursday. very exciting. Sister Barley and I have to do a musical number for that. we are not at all prepared. freaking out. We are planning on me playing that pretty piano solo arrangement of Come Follow Me and her figuring out how to sing along with it. will tell you how it goes...I also went to a baptist church bible study this week. everyone was nice but the pastor just outlined the book of Daniel. We had a Relief Society get together thing on saturday. you all will be so proud of me. i sewed my own apron all by myself. we made them out of men's button up shirts too! they are way cute i will have to take a picture of it and send it to you. Aurora is the best and has been giving us rides everywhere all week. Seriously i don't know how we got so lucky with her. she is so so so solid in her testimony and is always willing to help others get to church or other things and is just the best. we are having dinner with her family tonight :) also i went to a bluegrass concert this week! our cute cute "investigators" clem and doria have their own family blue grass band called "Matune Creek Band" and they performed at their little church this week. Aurora went with us and gave us a ride (obvi cause she's the best) and it was so fun! they were so cute! Clem is in his 80s and he was up there jamming on his mandolin and harmonica and singing! the people up here are so simple and i love it. hmm thats about it for me this week. write me more letters. please. have a super fun time in cali and take lots of pictures and send them to me. i'm loving missionary life. be a missionary at home. i love you all. 
lates,
sister quinn nilsson
