How can I put it all into one subject line??

Family dearest!
What a crazy week! We had a baptism on Saturday, MLC on Tuesday, Zone conference on Friday morning Exchange awesomeness this friday, and guess what-- I'm getting my wisdom tooth out tomorrow! YAY!!

This morning I woke up with my mouth KILLING me- I guess that was a sign to call Sister Forbes :) Luckily we have a dentist in the ward (of course- gotta have a dentist) and he got me into an appointment lickity split- tomorrow at 10. For now it's Ibuprofen and prayers :P
I hope you guys are all staying safe both spiritually and physically! Stay away from ANY danger! Quick thought I had today- in the Ensign there's a great Family Home Evening thought we've been sharing with people. It's about Alma 48: 7-10. We drew a picture of a city and then little pictures of a fort and a wall and a dirt wall and a bunch of people. What are some things in our lives that could be like a small fort protecting our testimony?- something that 's not every day but really important? church? temple? what about the mound of dirt? everyday things- like prayer and scripture study. and the wall of stone? those would be things that REALLY fortify our testimonies- things like sharing the gospel, keeping the commandments. And all the people? Prophets, family, friends. There are so many things God has given us to protect our testimonies and our homes. Take advantage of them! They will get us through anything :)

The exchange with the St. Cloud sisters was great! They teach fluently and know their stuff. Something they are working on is teaching now with the spirit and being led by the spirit in all aspects of their work. We saw some wonderful miracles with them including both teams being able to teach someone the message of the restoration and teaching a long time investigator together. We had so much fun and it really encouraged me personally and I hope it did for them as well. They made us Panfrenchfles for breakfast: French toast dipped in pancake batter and cooked in a

waffle iron :) They were delicious! We played volleyball at the church, made funny faces at a camera, and felt the spirit the whole time!! I love them like crazy! I am really blessed to be able to work with them.

K.P. is so close to setting an actual baptism date! We talked to her about doing it at the end of September and she is thinking and praying about it. One of her biggest concerns right now is financial. We are working to help her connect the promises of baptism with her very real concern about money. 

Hopefully tomorrow I'll leave without a wisdom tooth- and hopefully without losing much wisdom. It's not holding me back at all, but I'll be grateful to have it taken care of.
 
Oh yeah and on the 13th I'll be 9 months old!!! YAY! craziness!
 

Love,
Sister Roberts
