Birthday follow-up

Enjoying my raspberry cheesecake from Wholly Cannoli
 
 
Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday, especially to my mom for her amazing surprise! She ordered me a cake and a dozen cannolis from this famous place here in Worcester called "Wholly Cannoli" - I definitely had to share all those delicious treats. It was a good birthday, especially since I didn't get to focus on myself too much. Life is happier when you spend your time serving others.
 
Happy Pioneer Day, as well! What a great heritage we have. I'm thankful for those early Saints and for the sacrifices they made to pave the way for the Kingdom of God to grow on the earth!
 
We found out this week that the 4 visa-waiting sisters in our mission got their visas! Sis. Telfer and Sis. Goodrich, who I've met and come to know, are 2 of them. It's sad to see them go but I'm exciting for them to finally be going to Argentina!
 
There was another fireside this past weekend - it went very well. It's been a privilege to be part of these firesides.
 
The work is good. Slowly progressing! Not a whole lot of time today, sorry everyone. Much love!
