April 8th

There's only so much you can do for your birthday on your mission, but it still turned out to be a really good day, AND it was sunny! What we couldn't do in celebration was made up in the numbers we ended up with that night, so it was worth it. Sister McQuivey made a carrot cake for me, and during the following days got packages and mail from friends and family, so thank you! I really appreciate it!

General Conference was super good, and we even got our investigator Brenda to watch it with us on session (her parents speak Cambodian, but she speaks English). She had a really old computer so it took awhile to download a faster browser, but we got through most of that session and she seemed to like it. As soon as conference ended the website stopped working, which was probably a good thing because Brenda was beginning to lose interest, and I was able to download the last three talks we missed on a memory stick to listen to later anyway.

Yesterday's zone activity was ultimate Frisbee which is Sister McQuivey's game. It's hilarious to see how competitive she gets during the game! I started to get into it and with good players on our team we won by one point, much to McQuivey's dismay. Afterwards one of the elders offered to lend his piano binder of sheet music I've openly coveted, so I got to play in the church building while the rest of the zone played basketball in the gym. (Well, the elders did. The sisters chatted awhile before joining us.) That was one of my favorite belated birthday presents.

Other than that, not a lot has happened this past week. We're back to walking for now, so even though all appointments are spread apart, at least we've been having some pretty nice weather.

Love you!
