hello! how are you? happy fourth of July!! I'm so glad it's pday today :) we are having a bbq with our zone in Reading today, I'm so excited. then later today I'll be spending the day in Bracknell with the sisters there because we have zone training in Crawley tomorrow and we can't get there on time from High Wycombe. the trains in High Wycombe only go through London for some reason so we can't ever get anywhere without traveling out of the mission or traveling by bus for hours.
I can't believe another week has come and gone. it goes by soo fast! I hit NINE MONTHS this last week. that was so wierd. I can't believe it's been 9 months.
so, guess how many times Sister Keogh passed out this week? actually, I don't even know the answer to that, I lost track. it was a lot. I've gotten so good at catching her though :) we were at district meeting last week and she could barely stay consious, she doesnt' really remember any of it. it was so crazy. President almost sent her home again but Sister K talked to the mission psych and she said that it isn't so much a health problem, it is an anxiety problem. she gets really anxious, especially when it comes to finding and eventually that leads to her fainting or getting really ill. we still haven't done too much work. she was able to go to our appointments or do a little finding but she was sick almost everyday this week. there was one day where we spent almost the entire day in our flat. I was going crazy. by the end of the night I was craving a nice long run haha anyway, the mission doctor is going to be sending her some anti anxiety pills hopefully this week sometime so she should be doing much better and maybe now we will work a lot more. the area is doing ok considering but it can always be better.

everything is going really well. I'm having a lot of fun, when we're outside of the flat anyway :) but it is great. we were contacting the other day and it was so funny. you meet so many crazy people. this one guy saw us and he yelled from across the street 'christians!' so we went over to talk to him and he started telling us about this vision he had. he says 'I saw angels the other day, they were really tall and all wearing white...AND THEY WERE DRINKIN!' haha it was soo funny. I started crying from laughing so hard. we see him everywhere too. every time he sees us he yells 'christians!' he is so funny.
liana and andreas are doing so well. they love learning about the gospel and it is so fun to teach them. the hardest part is getting their mom more excited about it because they can't get baptized or come to church without her and it's not that she doesn't want to be part of it she is just so busy. she is a nurse and she works crazy hours. saturday nights she works all night so getting her motivated to come to church the next day is really hard.

Robert is still Robert. I don't know what it is but something wont let me give up on him. we aren't meeting with him too often anymore but we talk to him on the phone a lot and he always asks for chapters from the bom to read or he'll text us and ask for one. I don't get him. I tell him to get baptized every time I talk to him and this week he told me he would if he didn't have to quit smoking. he says it is too hard for him to give it up. he is a tough one. I don't know what to do for him or what to say for him that will make a difference. he likes church though. and he likes reading the bom and he prays everyday. sometimes I just want to shake him haha
Jannie is doing soo good. he's having ysa fhe at his house tonight :) we taught him about missionary work this week and we ordered him a PMG and he's super excited about it. we told him he should serve a mission and he said he's thought about it! then at the end of the lesson I asked him if he had any questions and he said 'where do I sign up??' he's totally going to serve a mission! I hope he does anyway, that would be amazing. and he would be such a great missionary.
well I gotta run, bbq time! love you guys so much! I hope everything is going well. thanks for the letters! enjoy the pics :) hahaha
I love you!
