August 3, 2009 Email

Well hello dear family.....i have a few quick and important things to say. First off...i know this is crazy but Sister Oliver in the office has already made my flight plans! I wasnt sure what airport you want to pick me up at. I told her Las Vegas....it doesnt matter to me so if you want to pick me up in Salt Lake then you need to call the office and let her know please, and then let me know too! I know its wierd! i feel nervous. Also if you could let her know, or me know the Bishops address...i know i should remember it cuz i lived there...but nope.
Also if any of you get an invitation on facebook from a Jean-Robert(ITs french) then add him and do some missionary work! He is 15, adopted from Haite...we work with him at the food bank and we have alot of laughs together. we are teaching him about God and how to pray right now. i told him about my brothers and he wondered if they had facebook and im not sure so if you do...or mom if you do...then you can talk to him. He is hilarious, you will love him.
Next.....i cant remember when the deadline for efy counselor is. But if its soon will you let me know...or sign me up or something? Thank you.
OK and also if anyone heres anything about fires in Kelowna...do not worry. Yes the forrest all around us is burning, and our ward did a fast that we will be protected, but we are fine and probably will not be evacuated. The westbank elders were on alert but its now getting farther away. We have a red sun! Scary eh? and our car had a bit of ash on it yesterday morning....its so smoky that you cant see the mountains. In the meantime we are asking people to come to our stop-smoking workshop haha!
another thing to mention is the fruit here! wow! There is so much fresh fruit that members keep giving us! Everyone here has gardens and fruit trees! We are so blessed.
Well Keith passed the sacrament for the first time yesterday and i about cried. I felt like a mother or something. Im so proud of him:)
Well right now i am trying to up my faithfullness and dillegence. I want to be doing my very best till the end. I am overcomeing alot of weaknesses and trials right now. Heavenly Father is helping me improve as a person as much as i can before i get home. It kind of hurts.....but i know its what is best. I love this gospel! I know i cant express it the way i would like too....its just so precious to me. I love you!
love, sister flake
