Dear Wonderful, splendid, Impressive, fantastic, talented, crafty amazingly beautiful Mother,

Hi mom! Wow it sounds like you are crazy. What would life be like in our house if it wasnt crazy though? Could you even imagine! We go over to families houses and they always apologize for the craziness of their house and I am like dont I love craziness it makes me feel like home! I miss the craziness sometimes! Its weird the things you miss. So I want pictures of Lauren going to Prom! I want to see this oh wow! Seriously its annoying not seeing things. I feel super our of the loop. I am a sister too! Come on peeps. :)

Well we have had a crazy week. We got bashed on....ALOT. Gotta love the bashers. We had one that was super bad though! We knocked on this house and this guy answered. You could tell they were having a party so we contacted him he leaned in and asked if anyone was interested, they all said no. So we offered him a card and left. We knocked on the next house, he wasnt interested either....lame. Well we turn to leave and a couple from the previous house is standing right there. I am thinking in my head sweet maybe they are interested in learning more! We are so gonna dunk these people! Well they offer us this economic pamphlet his friend made...im pretty sure it has nothing to do with economics but anyway, they ask us so what do you believe? And Im like yes! We are super gonna dunk these people! Well I dont know why they asked because after we started talking they lady just dug into us! She told us that Joseph Smith was known for telling tall tells and that he was a liar. She said that she read on the Internet (dont ask me why they dont tell us but they will put it on the Internet!) that the higher ups in our church believe that when they die they get their own planets and their own virgins. But they dont tell us that. She just went on and on and was super rude. Finally we were just like look you have called a man that we believe to be a prophet of God a liar. Someone we respect as a servant of the Lord. I know these things are true. I know he didnt lie but that he did bring back Christs church. And we just continued to testify. It was crazy. At one point...i think it must be almost girlie time for me...I wanted to cry because she was being mean! She told us that she really hopes we search out the truth. It was stupid. We finally got out of there. it took some trying. Ps the whole time they had us cornered on someone elses front porch! And as we walked away Sister Reynolds said to me did you feel that? I said what? She said I swear I felt angels next to us. It was wow.

Another lady condemned you and Dad for teaching me the gospel. She said that it was wrong for our parents to teach us these things but that they should have let us figure our for ourselves. I was annoyed with that lady. Its ok for her to teach her kids about her religion but my parents are awful people because they taught me what they believe? Baptists......She was crazy too. She went off about Adam and Eve and sex....we were grossed out about that one.

The other great story! Man so many good stories this week...thank you tracting in the bible belt! We knocked on this guys door and he answered...he was super nasty...sorry thats not kind to say about a son of God, but he had his button up shirt hanging open with his big ol' beer belly covered in hair and the really gross gold chain. Yeah it was just not pretty. He looks at us and I can tell he was upset. We asked him how he was he waited for like 20 seconds and then answered fine. We started to say something else and he stopped us and said "ladies let me try to say this nicely. What your doing is gold proselytizing and in the Arab world you would be shot on sight if they didnt haul you of to jail and shoot you then. My property extends to the middle of that road right there. Get off it." We looked at each other said have a blessed day and got off his property! We were like oh my gosh we just got threatened! Elders say that stuff never happens to sisters...bam. We kept tracting that street until we ran into another man who yelled at us. Then we decided we needed to find a new street.

So we have had alot of craziness happen to us. Its been fun though. Those are the fun stories that you love. Thats what makes missionary work missionary work. And secretly I love it when people bash on us because 1 they just sound silly! and 2. It just reconfirms to me what is true. All these people telling me to seek out the truth and Im like I have found it! Its strange that they can tell me to seek for truth but they wont do it themselves.
Poor people. Someday they will find the truth! And then they will be happy because their family will be eternal like mine is.

That is crazy about Micahs dad! I hope Michah is doing ok, and that his dad keeps getting better.

Can I please tell you that I randomly just this moment craved an eclair from dicks.

Well mother I love you so much! I miss you like crazy. I think you are super amazing!! I loves loves you! Thanks for everything you do.

loves loves kisses hugs

love you always and forever!!

love. sister bailey....you favorite....missionary. :)

Dear Wonderful, crafty, smart, talented, splendid, Best Mother ever,

Yes we had quite the storm here! It was so funny we were out walking around and we stopped to talk to this lady, she was very rude and said she was tying things down because there was a storm coming in. We were like hmmm mean because storm to us means thunder storm so I didnt even know why she was so worried. Then we go and knock on a members door and they are running down the stairs. They open up the door and say "What are you doing out there?!" We looked at each other and then at them and said "Going around and meeting people!" They thought we were crazy. They were like " Dont you know there is a tornado!?" We didn't. So they let us in and talk to us for a bit..yeah we thought that was funny too. And then they kicked us out and said go home and stay there! Now at this point it is raining torrential amounts of rain, we run to our car, and flip on the windshield wipers to find out...oh perfect one of them is broken! Yeah it was awesome. So we start driving home we made it alive! We walk inside and decide well I guess we better get in the closet. Oh also our phone wasnt working. We couldnt call anyone and the last phone call we received was from President Sagers looking for the Zone leaders. (I was like hello you are talking to them!) So we knew it must be slightly bad. So we grab some chips and queso and pop corn, some phamplets to personalize, our blankets and pillows and we go into our closet. Luckily for us its HUGE! So we now lovingly refer to our closet as the bunker. We finally get a call from the Zone leaders and they ask where are you? We told them our closet and they said good stay there! And hung up. So we looked at each other shrugged our shoulders and spent the next 2 hours in our closet. Its a good thing we are friends. If we werent before we would have been after the bunker. We bonded. And we survived. No tornado touch downs here I wont lie I was a little disappointed because I kinda want to be in one but Im not going to go praying for it or anything.

So I am assuming that Landon Simonsen left on his mission. I am sitting at Saturday conference and the MTC choir is singing when all of a sudden I see this kid who looks suspiciously like Landon Simonsen. So was it him or am I crazy? If so where is he going?

I am jealous that Tosha and Eric are there! I saw this little girl in one of our wards yesterday who looked like my nna. It made me miss her and then I wanted to kidnap the little girl! She was so precious! It was a close call but I didnt take her home with us.

Im glad that yall had a good easter. We had a delicious dinner...have any of you ever had Ham Jerky? Well we have! I don't think our dinner was supposed to consist of Ham Jerky but it did, we also had mashed broccoli...you know its kinda like mashed potatoes but instead they use broccoli, I dont think that was intentional either. It was probably one of the funniest dinners of my life! I was laughing so hard because the husband and kids were all mocking it as we ate. Oh man. It was good.

Mckay had better be back in Utah by the time a certain someone gets home from a certain place or else that certain someone is going to be greatly upset. End of story.

That is fun about Jarelle I will make sure to keep them in my prayers!

Thank you so much for the package! It was so stinking cute! Did you really get that stuff from Wal Mart? I am shocked!! It was adorable. I loved it all.

Well not much else is going on here. Thanks for the Pictures of Lauren. She is so pretty its disgusting! I cant wait to see her prom pictures. I bet she looks beautiful! Don't forget to send them to me! Sometimes I think I get forgotten in the hustle and bustle of ya'alls crazy lives. Ok just kidding I know I don't. How could anyone forget the favorite?!

Well I love yall so so so much! Thanks for everything mother. You are so amazing!! I love love love love you!!

loves loves hugs and kisses,

love your favorite missionary

Dear Most Wonderful, Perfect, Kind, Sweet, Loving mother

Hi Mom! Well my week has been crazy!!!! Holy cow!! So many funny stories from just 5 days. First, I loved conference as well! I will admit it was a little sad. President Monson closed the conference and the thought hit me...thats it, thats the last time I will hear the prophets voice with my tag on. I got a little teary eyed. It was weird and sad.I loved all the talks they were amazing! Family isnt it about...time? Ok sorry lame mormon joke. I feel like God was talking to me. For some reason I have become so independent thinking on my mission. I have set all these goals and things I want to do and suddenly I started thinking I can wait for a family and all that jazz. I can have that later but some things I can only do right now! Then conference happened...and I felt guilty. We will see what happenes. Im still hanging on to my goals.

Second I am glad to hear everyone is doing so well. If you would like to hear my thoughts on everyone read Fathers email!

So there are still Elders in our Zone, just not in this ward anymore. As a matter of fact, we are only sisters in the zone. We have some damage control to do seeing as the last sisters in the zone didn't leave a very good mark on the Elders. We will see what happens.

For JaRelle: Sister Reynolds is from Orangeville UTAH! Yep another Utahn its a good thing too. We Utahns are awesome. She is alot of fun. We have had some crazy times already together which leads perfectly into my funny story moments:

First: Well we got into the area and realized our car only had 40 miles on it. Yep, that left us a whopping 10 miles a day! No good. So we got to walk alot! Which isn't an issue except for the fact that we have NO IDEA where we are! So one day we start walking in this neighborhood and we are walking down this road and we get to the end and the house we are looking for is not on it. So I whip out our handy, but sometimes incorrect map (as you will see as the story unfolds) and look at it. I perceive that the road continues across the small river. We look and lo and behold there is the road! And the river has a little path with rocks that cross it. ( I will send you pictures next week) So we cross the river and it opens up into this huge neighborhood. We were like "What the?! Where did this come from?" So we start walking down the road in constant amazement at the gianormica houses on either side of us. We contact the person we are looking for, they aren't interested. So we start walking back and on our way back we see a bridge! We are like Oh Perfect! We dont need to cross the rocks because there is a bridge. So we cross the bridge and go down this path and it opens up into....not the area we were in before...its ANOTHER gianormica neighborhood! We are like what the devil? How can all these big neighborhoods exist in this small of a space..this makes no logical sense! So we then decided we had found Narnia. We then preceded to talk to each other in British accents because that was the only logical thing to do.(please start reading the email from this point on in a British accent to add to the effect) So we look at the map realize where we are and discover that a family who has been working with their neighbors lives here. Turns out to be a good thing because now Sister Reynolds has to use the potty. So we look for the house, find it, knock...no answer...knock again....no answer. Yes they are not home. So we look at the map to find the fastest way back to our car. (this is the part where the map lies) we see a road that connects and we start walking down it. Well the road doesn't actually connect, BUT there is a path so of course we follow it. It opens up into another neighborhood...not the one we need! So rather than continue to pursue that course we decide to just turn around and retrace our steps. We start heading back and we find our way by finding a lamp post. It was just like Narnia!!!! So we cross the bridge, walk over a couple steps and cross the small rocks back into the neighborhood we originally started in (you may now stop reading in a British accent as we have now left Narnia) We got to our car finally, looked at the clock it was 6....we got there at 2. Yep 4 hours. 4 hours of being lost. It was probably the funniest 4 hours of my life...except for every hour spent with dad. :)

Well then on Sunday, Sister Reynolds once again has to pee (this is a usual occurrence for her), so we look at our GPS to find a house. We see there is a part-member family that lives pretty close by and think perfect we will kill 2 birds with one stone. Find a place to use the potty and find a new investigator score!! So we head out knowing absolutely nothing about this family but determined to find the non-member! We get to the house and knock, the dad answers the door and is super friendly we are like ok perfect, he must be the member. He invites us in and his wife comes in the room and introduces herself as Sister so and so. She is also super friendly so we start thinking, ok he just must be nice and she must be the member. Well we start going back and forth on who is who. Finally one hour later, and mission stories from both the parents we decide the map lied and they are both members. It was so funny! We sat there and debated the same things in our heads the whole time trying to decide who is who! We laughed so hard when we got into the car. It was a pretty funny day.

Well that is all I have time for! More adventures to come next week I am sure! There is never a dull moment with Sister Reynolds and I! I love you so so much mom! I think you are amazing!!

thanks for everything!!

loves loves kisses hugs!!

love you forever!!!

love. Sister bailey

Dear wonderful amazing, splendid, rocking, talented, hard working mother,

Man you are such a good example to me. I just want you to know that. Well its transfer week already. Can you believe that? Does anyone feel like it has already been six weeks? Pretty dang crazy! I am leaving the good old town of Denton. Yep, I have out lived my last shinanagans here. It's a good thing too! I love this place, but it is crazy. There is definitely something in the water! I will be pink washing (that means we are kicking elders out!!!) into Flowermound with Sister Reynolds. I hear Flowermound is a pretty wealthy area...I'm nervous about that. And I am back in a family ward! I am happy but a little nervous! I have gotten used to young people. Families are intimidating. My new address is:

5210 Long Prarie Rd.

#1626

Flowermound, TX 76039

I am nervous but excited. It is going to be good. But still.....slightly nervous.

Well bad news bares. The Ex didnt get baptized. It was the biggest bummer ever! He went to Padre last week and when he came back he told us he didn't feel ready for baptism. It was depressing. Stupid Satan and stupid vacation! He hadn't told his parents yet and I think that was a really big factor. He is really afraid of that. I feel like he let fear govern his choice. I hate fear! I hate that it stops people from doing what they should. I am so grateful that I didn't let my own fears keep me from serving a mission. It has been the best ever. Man I have learned a lot. The sad thing is I feel like I haven't changed as much as I should. I still feel like silly little imperfect me. Aren't I supposed to feel all righteous and good? Well I'm still not. I guess it's a constant work in progress. If we all became perfect on our missions no one would ever go home...we would all be translated!

Well other than that, nothing to crazy is going on. This is so funny about little Peyton. She is a kindred spirit to her Aunt Nunu. Suz did both of those things. I still remember when she came out and shouted "I'm Mulan!!" Oh man....I thought I was in trouble. Her hair turned out cute. Whatever you do, do not let JaRelle cut Peyton's hair in a nasty mullet like a certain someone we all knew....man I felt bad for that kid. That mullet was disgusting! Oh man, see I am so unchristlike!! I will repent...but I am leaving that in my email because It is true...sorry I will repent.

I am glad to hear everyone is doing well. You are amazing mother! I am sorry you have to work so much. If you weren't so talented and such a good worker they wouldnt have you work so much! What is the project you are working on? I am glad to hear that dad is still a rocking golfer! I think I could be good at golf..it's not a height biased sport thing (is golf a sport?) so maybe....I dont know if I want to learn though....I don't know if Dad would teach me...hmmm that could get sketchy.....

I am glad that Anna is ok I have prayed for her all week!

Well I will let you know how things are next week. For now I am hating my life...packing stinks! And I feel ADD so packing REALLY Stinks! That might be why this letter is short...ADD. It's no bueno. I blame Dad. :)

Well mother, I love you too much and I miss you lots! Let me know if you need anything! I love love love love you and thank you for everything that you do for me! Thanks a bazillion!

loves hugs and kisses,

love. sister bailey

Dear wonderful, fantastic, talented, hard working, problem solving ;), best mother in the whole world!

Hi mom! Haha, so I got the problem solving from your title. Wow, you sound so fancy--you are an executive assistant & problem solver. That sounds fancy (said in Wisconsin accent) You are pretty amazing.

Well I am glad to hear that everyone is doing so good. I can't believe Lauren is going to Prom. That is crazy! I still haven't seen pictures from when she went to Christmas! (yes that is a hint that you should send more pictures! ) She is getting so old. When did that happen? It's strange. Has she figured out what she is going to do next year? Is she for sure not doing cheer?

I hope everything is ok with Anna. I think it will all be ok. I will keep her in my prayers though. Tosha is so funny. Have her just tell Anna that if she doesnt start listening better she will shock her. Thats always seemed to work when she was in the belly.

I got some really cute pictures of Peyton and Jarelle and Dave. They are so fun! They all look so different. It's weird. Why is everyone changing?

PS how did Aunt Lori get pictures of me? What pictures are they? I am sure they are so pretty because I take so many good pictures...:) I finally got a charger for my camera!!! I am so happy! My camera has been dead for the last 3 months. I can finally take pictures again, I jumped for joy when it charged. It was one of the happy days.

Lets see...anything exciting going on here. Ex is getting baptized this week! We are so excited! I feel like it really is going ot happen. We have waited forever and a half for this! He still hasn't told his parents which is slightly no good. But I know that it is all going to work out.

Its spring break this week so it looks like a ghost town again. Its amazing how quickly this place can clear out! That takes talent.

Oh also tell the Fergusons that there is an unhappy missionary! Ok don't tell them that...I am happy I really am. I am just sad that I am going to miss it. Grandma spilled the beans about Ferg. Thats pretty fun. And weird. I feel so weird that my friend is getting married. I don't know why it's weird for me to have her get married. It just is.

Hmm...I dont think I have any funny stories from this week. Oh yeah, so yesterday I was feeling a little pissy, and during personal study I flip open my preach my gospel. I knew that I wanted to study christlike attributes (because I stink at them), but I didnt know which one I wanted to study. So I flip open to that chapter close my eyes and pick a random page. Then I sit there with my eyes closed turn my preach my gospel over, and then open my eyes. Guess what I picked? Yep...charity and love. God really does have a sense of humor. And he loves to pick on me. I told him I got the hint but it wasn't helping any. I had to laugh a little bit about that.

Also I had a dream one night that I was home from my mission and I was driving somewhere with Lauren. She did something and I yelled at her. I felt so bad in my dream. I was like I shouldn't be yelling at my little sister--that's not very Christlike. I need to go study preach my gospel more. I woke up from the dream and was like what the? Apparently I am not getting the hint! Still so much to work on.....somedays I contemplate why I cant be perfect? Wouldn't that just make life easier?

Well thats about it. Nothing too crazy. Maybe we will have a more exciting week this week. We will see. Everyday is different here. Its strange.

Well thanks for everything you do! I love you so much and miss you like crazy! I think you are the best mother ever!!

loves loves you!!

loves loves hugs kisses

love. sister bailey

Dear poetic, bright, beautiful, wonderful example to me mother,

Hi mom! I did have a great week! Did you have a good week? It sounds like it was good! Today I am feeling very un typingy. Sometimes I look forward to when I dont have to sum up everything in emails. Talking is so much easier and we all know I am way more proficient at talking! :) I do have a mouth....sometimes I think I talk to much. Oh well.

That is such a neat story about Tyson. He is such a good boy. I hate the feeling of knowing you did something wrong. But what a good learning experience for him! You are such a great teacher mom. I love how you taught all of us. Repenting is so much fun too. Even though its hard in the moment isnt it amazing that we have a way that we can be forgiven of our sins and are able to feel clean again? Can you imagine if we didnt have repentance? How awful would that be. Something I have learned about Repentance as I have studied it is that its not just something we do. Repentance shapes us into what God wants us to become. Repenting is literally turning our heart to God. Giving him our will and as we give our will to him we lose our desire to sin again and become a little bit more like the Savior. Isnt that so neat. Its like what Elder oaks said about when we are judged its not just a sum total of the good and bad things we have done it is what we have become. Repenting is what helps us become what we should be. I love that. It makes repentance seem so much better doesnt it? God really does love us. Its so great that sweet cute Tyson gets to learn that. And you are amazing for teaching him. I hope I can be as good a mom as you someday.

Whose marriage did Dad preform? There is someone learning about the lessons in our ward? How cool! That is so neat to hear about the gospel being spread in our area. Its so funny how before my mission I never thought about our home area being apart of a mission. I never thought about finding people to learn. I just wandered around in my own little bubble thinking everyone was a mormon and happy. Now I think about all the people who arent and all the people who are but dont have the happiness it brings. Its so great to hear someone is finding it right now where we live. And that you get to be a part of it! You are so amazing mom! Keep being a good friend because that is what she really needs. I love it when ward members just walk up to investigatos and sit by them and really befriend them. Its exactly what should happen.

I am sad to hear about toshas knee. I hope she is ok! Wow she really is turning into a runner! She was going 7 miles....dang gina! I gotta get doing better. I will keep her in my prayers. I will also pray for you and your vegetarian son. Oh my goodness. Will you tell him to not be one anymore. That boy is such a dork. What made him decide to be a vegetarian? I love him so much. I am super glad you "didnt" tell me about Dave and JaRelle because they didnt email me to tell me! I would have been so annoyed to have to wait another week to find out if I am having a niece or nephew! That is so fun! What are they going to name her?

Ok well fun things from here...we went on exchange with the Spanish sisters this week. It was alot of fun! I went into their area and prayed for the gift of tongues and then guess what happened.....I still didnt understand it! I guess I need more faith or something! We taught this guy and as we taught him he started to tell us about this roof he had to fix. He was saying that it was a brand new roof, they had just put it on last year and it was already leaking again! Then he said " it must be a really chitty roof." (picture it in a heavy spanish accent) Oh man it took everything we had to not start laughing right then and there! We waited and laughed in the car. He also told us that he used to think beer was proof that God loves us.The things people say. We told him its not.

We got to sit down and have lunch with a baptist preacher. It was really neat. He was super nice and we got to talk to him about what he believes and how he became a preacher. Its all really interesting. It doesnt make any sense to me but whatever. He was talking about predestination...who honestly believes that God predestined some of his children to go to Hell. Really? Wow super loving right? People....

Ex is doing really good and I am so certain that he is going to get baptized on the 25th it is going to be such a good day! I am super excited for it. Did I tell yall about the new people we are teaching? I dont remember but I will just tell you now one is named free spirit. She is definitely a free spirit...she wants to live out of her car someday just so she can experience it. Pretty awesome. But she is amazing and is currently praying about a day for her baptism. She knows its what she needs to do she just needs to know the date. YAY! The other one is named Waiting. Waiting knows she should be baptized but her family told her if she still wants to be baptized in a couple months it will still be here for her. She shouldnt rush into anything. It would really stink to rush into all the blessings of baptism.....Man I am sounding so sarcastic today. I am sorry! I will repent. :) See Tyson your not alone I have alot to repent for too!!

It rained like crazy the past couple days and was in the 40s...it was awful! But dont worry it should be mid 70s again this week...whew I was getting worried there with that cold weather! ;)

I love you so much mom! I miss you lots! You are the bestest mother in the whole wide world!! Thanks for everything you do for me! I love love love love love you!!

love. sister bailey...your favorite missionary

Dear most wonderful, lovely, kind,caring, funny, talented, movie star mother,

Hi Mom! So Dad wrote me last week and said you are a movie star...he said it in his usual dad fashion...you know with some reference to him sleeping with a movie star. Yep thats my father! I know exactly where I get my sense of humor. Its awful. Why did I get to be so blessed with his sense of humor? Im awful. Our investigator Ex is alot of fun, he always gets me started on things. Like last night we called him to set up an appt. with him and he answered in a chinese voice...so of course I had to pretend like I was an Asian lady from china star and I took his order. After a couple of minutes of me convincing him he wanted the general tsos chicken he stopped and said those are the jokes we always take to far. I laughed and said yeah your right...sorry about that. Hahha I am awful. I cant help it. I just get on kicks. I think the real issue is I think I am so funny...its hard not to when you are as funny as i am :) Just kidding....sorta. :)

So yes I do know the Hansen kid. His name is Daniel or Danny I dont know what he goes by now. Tell him hi for me if you go back over there and see them. That is so sad about his Dad. I hope he is ok. That is awful. Tell him sorry for me as well and that I hope he is doing ok. He was supposed to serve his mission in Russia and then a week before he reported to the MTC they called him and told him his mission call was changing to Chili. So he went to Chili instead! Isnt that crazy? He is a nice kid I liked him....why did I only date one person in High school? Oh the things I did....Oh well cant change it.

I heard about Taras wedding. That is so fun. I am sure it was fabulous if aunt Lori had anything to do with it. She is amazing! We are lucky to have so many talented people in our family. I have heard how amazing Mckays pictures are. I want him to send me some that he took of Tara and her husband so I can know what they look like. Plus I want to see Mckays pictures. I have heard how amazing they are and I am bummed I dont ever get to see any! It is not making me happy! He is so cute. Is Tater tot dating anyone? How is school going? He is so smart.

Well life here is crazy as always! We had a good surprise! elder Tad R. Callister from the Presidency of the 70 was here and he wanted to meet with the missionaries. So yesterday we got to go and listen to him teach us.. He was so funny and the meeting was amazing. They did such a good job of building us up but letting us know what we can work on. He trained us on the Plan of Salvation which was amazing! and then after others trained us he finished with becoming a consecrated missionary. It was so good. There were so many great things I needed to hear. I was so grateful that I could be there. we got to see other missionaries and It was so fun. I got to see Sister Mortensen...oh man I was so happy!! I have missed her. I love seeing other missionaries. It just makes me so happy.

We taught alot of great people this week! We are seeing the work really move forward. We are taking one or two things every week that we need to work on and trying to fix it. I feel like the Lord is really blessing us as we attempt to become more obedient. It has been a little hard this week. I started to get a little sick but its not too bad. It just makes me a little more tired. But we still get out and work. That is the best feeling. We can only expect the Lord to bless us when we are doing our part.

Hmm...I dont know if I have any funny stories. While we were teaching the other day Sister Bickley started teaching about the Saviors Earthly Ministry and Atonement. She is doing great, teaching really well, and then she says "He preformed so many miracles and did alot of good like; blinding the sick, and healing the sick." It took everything I had not to giggle. Then as we walked home I was like you know sister after alot of thought and prayer I have decided that my favorite miracle He ever preformed is when He Blinded the Sick. She was like " OH MY!" It was pretty funny. We got super lost and spent an hour walking to an appt. that is only 30 minutes away. Umm....I cant think of anything else though. Nothing to crazy really.

thanks for all that you do mom! You are the best mother ever! I am so glad that I have you as my mom! i love you lots and lots! Let me know if there is anything I can do for you! I love love you!!

loves loves hugs kisses

love. sister bailey
