SO this week's been pretty rough. My ankle doesn't hurt and I have had such a wonderful experience of seeing how Heavenly Father has helped me. My ankle doesn't hurt too much. I have been able to walk around and have it not hurt. Although....it is pretty swollen still and even more colorful than the pic I sent. Haha. It's all blue. My foot is an entire bruise! It makes me laugh. Every morning Sister Harbaugh come over and is like: "What color is it today?" BUT it doesn't hurt and I rest and ice it as much as possible so it's been fine! This one lady we met while knocking I could tell right away that she was a mother because as soon as she saw me she was like "ARE YOU WALKING around on a HURT ankle?" and I was like "...Well...yes." missionary work has to get done! she offered to drive us to the church and back to our car. She was so sweet. 

This week was crazy. ALL of our plans fell through. I don't think we had a single day that went according to plan. That was rough cause I kinda felt like we weren't doing enough. PL:US we had a family that was supposed to get baptized on saturday fall through. THey heard all kinds of Anti stuff from the mom's dad about the temple. Did you know that a video of the endowment is online? When they were telling us about that and even showed us it, it just made me sick and angry and sad. BUT they were still okay even trough that. What happened was that they didn't really understand the word of wisdom and the dad had a beer for his birthday. We were so dissapointed and they were so sad. BUT the good news is that they are still meeting with us and talking to us. They are still going to pray and read the Book of Mormon and I really feel good. they will be okay. Satan just loves to work on people, but the Lord knows what they need! BUT Heavenly Father knows what I need, too, and even through the stress and craziness of this whole week  I just kept remembering your voice telling me it's okay and not to be too hard on myself and then Heavenly Father gave me a hug and I also read D&C 6 (read the last 5 verses!!! They reminded me of you momma!). I also really saw the miracles that happened. We were able to talk to a lot of amazing people. Nothing came of it, really, but just planting seeds! Also: Sister Harbaugh was so postitive and happy this entire week and it helped me remember how loved and blessed I am. I have you guys at home. sure I miss you, but that's what the temple is about. I have an awesome companion and amazing investigators and an amazing ward. Plus, Sister Harbaugh is really good at studying the scriptures, and we've been able to have amazing amazing discussions and I've been able to learn a lot!

As far as investigators go:
We weren't able to get in touch with Matt so we are just hoping he gets in touch with us. We also weren't able to meet with Jenn because her dog got really hurt. BUT we are having dinner with her tonight and we are hopefully going to be planning a wedding! Fingers crossed! Also: we got to meet this funny less active member and her non member care taker. She had this little apartment and in there were 2 gods, 4 cats (one of whom had JUST had 5 kittens. like....that morning) and 2 ferrets. She doesn't have any food in her pantry but she told us that Jesus saved her life (everything you can imagine happening to someone happened to her, apparently) and she feels her job in life it to rescue animals! I was so amazed. PLUS we were able to tell her care taker about the restoration and give her a Book of Mormon, and she started reading it RIGHT there!!!! It was really cool. 

The Lord really knows what He's doing and I am so grateful to have Him guiding me because if I were alone in this....I couldn't do it.

I am so thankful for you. I love you so so much! You are so amazing at serving others and following the Lord. I know how proud he is of you adn how grateful he is to have you. Thank you for your support and for your packages and prayers and love. I love you tons!
Love,
Sister Kramer
