Mom you are a facebook stalker!

First off....mom I cant believe you are stalking me on facebook!! Haha Yeah the boy that was in the picture with McKay is in my war..its the bishop's son. In fact the Hunt family actually lives here in Moorpark and are in my ward. I havent seen them yet. Small world. I think I will answer all your questions first because I always seem to forget them. Well reply to what you said. Lets see...ya the beach would be just fine as long as we go to church in Cali(what part of california is it in). Haha you said that Bentley was a little more filled out and said you cant wait to see me...hahahaha well you'll get the same effect..a little more filled out hahaha. ANYWAY. Uh, I will fill out this returned missionary sheet and send it to you. Dad told me to fax it but I dont really have the resources to do that. But ill send it good ol snailmail. Also I am pretty sure that is our address here in Moorpark. Well this week has been super great! I love Moorpark. At the begining of the week we went down to Ventura to have a meeting with President and then I worked with Hna Clark a little bit to plan the exchanges a little more. I know I said this last week but the youth here is SOO amazing. We were at the ward mission leaders house to have ward correlation and as we got there the girls from mutual were leaving and one of the young women introduced us to her friends and we were ableto get an appointment with both of them. They both have come to youth conference and participated in the road show! We taught 16 year old boy who wants to get baptized so bad but he can't because his parents have yet to sign the permission form but he was telling us how he has to hide his book of mormon under his mattress. He also said " I dont really understand all of this...but I know its true". He has such a strong testimony of the gospel. Its awesome! The bishop here is really great and has taken these boys in (there are this group of boys who are all learning about the gospel). It really reminds me of my group of friends growing up. We have been knocking a lot and Sister Bennett is really on fire. I know it must be hard to be in your first area and knock a ton but she is really just doing work!! I am so proud of her and know she is going to be an amazing missionary. Well she already is...but you know what I mean. Anyway as we have been knocking we have run into lots of people who dont want to talk to us but we have found a good hand full of people who want to learn more. We met this great family last week who invited us back and we have an appointment with them tonight. She is a former Jehovah's Witness and he grew up Catholic but doesnt really believe in religion. The wife doesnt even believe in God any more. However when we met him at the door he talked to us for a while and it was fgetting really good. Then his wife came ot give him dinner. She stepped outside and started talking to us and after a minute she let us in. We started teaching her about the plan of salvation because all of her doubts could be resolved by the plan. She talked a lot but the spirit was really strong. She believes in energy and told us that she felt "really good energy" with us. We told her that was the spirit. I am really excited to teach this family. We also are teaching a less active man and his family...well he is more of a returning member, but their family....namely his wife really warmed up during our lesson and came to church on Sunday! We are really laying a solid foundation here...not because we are great...but because President recieved inspiration that we needed to come here in this moment and the Lord has helped us do the rest. I love being a missionary. I love feeling the spirit so strongly every morning as we study and then being able to use what we study as we talk to people on the street. I only get a couple more weeks with Sister Bennett and I could really use some prayers to know how I can be the very best trainer for her. The mission is so important and I really want her to be able to have the tools to be a good and effective missionary! Thanks. The Lord is just blessing us with tender mercies every day and we have made it a goal (Sister Bennett and I) to write down our favorite thing that happened each day and it hjas really helped me to have even more joy. I invite you to do the same. Tell the nieces and nephews thanks for the little shout outs! Love them! Hope all is well! have a great week! Hermana Tippetts

Hello family from (Moorpark) which is very close to thousand oaks

Well...I did get your email mom and i didnt see anything attached to it so I am guessing that it will be coming in the mail this week. Ill wait for it. So to answer your question, yes I am in Moorpark, we live in an apartment and yes i will still be traveling. I will be traveling with Sister Clark! We wont be doing so many exchanges because of this being such a new thing but I am excited. Yesss... So I feel bad for Sister Bennett (my new companion!!) She had the craziest first week EVER! We had to stay in Ventura for a couple of days and we never really got to work together. Then we got here and had to figure this whole white washing thing. We didnt have any appointments and we knocked a lot. It has been really great though. Just really different but I guess she didnt know the diference. She is so great. We have a lot similarities. We LOVE cars. Its been kind of nice. Haha. she understands me. She knows Trevor Tippetts. Also at church on Sunday someone came up to me and told me they knew Tippetts in Vegas and she knew uncle Mark and aunt trudy and said she grew up with my cousins. That was pretty neat. We have a couple people with baptismal dates now..and a few new investigators. I just feel the spirit so much here. I can just feel that there is a huge reason we are here and this is where heavenly father wants us. Im not sure why but I was just thinking about all the things that had to happen so we could be here together and it just blows my mind and helps me know that this is really inspired. We talked to this family who the dad of the family isnt a member but comes to church every week and the wife is a convert and the son is about to go on a mission next month. So as we were there we invited the son to practice teaching the lessons with us to his mom and dad. When we invited them to do that we really felt the spirit and we have an appointment to do so this week. The youth in this ward/stake are AMAZING! There are so many converts who are in young mens and young womens and they are sharing the gospel with everyone. I am so impressed by them! I really feel like we are also here for the youth because they are so willing to open their mouths and share the gospel. I really love being a missionary and I have been reflecting on my mission and it really hit me this week that any of the success I have had on my mission had nothing to do with me, it was all just blessings of our Heavenly Father and from the Holy Ghost. presidente castro sent us this great quote this week: “I have felt impressed to speak today about the need for integrity—old-fashioned, personal, practical integrity. To me, integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences. It means being righteous from the very depth of our soul, not only in our actions but, more importantly, in our thoughts and in our hearts. Personal integrity implies such trustworthiness and incorruptibility that we are incapable of being false to a trust or covenant.” (Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, Ensign, May 1990, 30) I like because I feel that is what we are trying to develop every day! I hope that I can be that person. I also heard that they opened up Personal Progress to everyone and im really excited to get my medalion when I get home! Well life is great and the greatest joy is serving the LORD! LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Hermana Tippetts!

Soooo....I forgot today was transfer day

Haha or did I tell you today was transfers??? Well I guess I will get that out of the way first.............I am being transfered! Its crazy. So I will be white washing (which means there are Elders there right now and they will both be leaving) and training (in english ahh..) and I will keep my traveling sister assignment but the other Traveling Sister will be here in Ventura while I am in Moorpark!!! Im going back to the Thousand Oak area. CRAZY...but I wont lie I had like a mini revelation the night before so it wasnt a huge shock. BUT STILL. Crazy. I am super exciting but everything is going to be so new. Well....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!! I was thinking about you and was thinking about your birthday. Ha so I hope it went well. Also can you give a shout out to Lori and Vanessa for their birthdays! I thought about them as well. Life has just been so crazy and I didnt have time to go to the store and buy cards but I love you all the same. Lets see...this week was really good. Sister Thompson and I had so many miracles and she was a great missionary! I am excited to see her up at school. This week we talked about an inspired of way of teaching and we put it into practice in district meeting and asked got a baptismal date that day in a declaration on the front porch! I know our mission president is so inspired. I am also grateful that he is so focused on Preach My Gospel and doesnt feel the need to come up with all these fancy programs because Preach My Gospel is the Lord's way to do missionary work! Oh then before that we were leaving an investigators house but we started walking down the street and started talking to these 2 guys. They invited us to come and sit on the porch so we went up and taught them the Restoration and they both accepted baptismal dates!!! YA! The Lord is really preparing people and if we are willing to be bold and do work he will help. The Evangelista family is doing super great and so is Bro Wages. We finally saw the Fa family and taught them the Plan of Salvation. We invited her to be baptized and she is going to pray about being baptized. She is really so great and is putting everything into practice that she is learning. Now we just have to get her to church more often. She has a really crazy work schedule but we need to be more firm with her.. Sorry if this email is so crazy. My mind is all over the place. Everything is changing haha but it is going to be such an adventure! I got an email from Chrissy too and Im sorry to hear that both her and Jamie had little accidents! I hope they get better soon and I will keep them in my prayers! I was randomly studying in the for the strength of youth (the new one) and I noticed that every single section it mentions in some way that this principle will help you have the spirit to be with you and I think that it is so cool that we have some guidelines to better help us have the spirit to be with us. It just goes to show us how important having the spirit with us is. I love the gospel! Well really my mind is so crazy and we have to be in Oxnard at 3 to take the new sisters out so I have to let you go. Pray that I will be able to train in pure english! Im so excited to meet my new missionary. She is going to be great! I have always wanted to white wash. It is going to be such an adventure! YAY YAY YAY! All is well and we are working! It is so good to hear how everyone is doing. Im sorry this letter is so crazy. Haha love you all!

im not talking, im just complimenting the elders on their spanish

April 28, 2012 Good Morning Family on this beautiful Memorial Day weekend! It is so good to be here in Ventura. I am always so spoiled with wonderful weather. The sun is shining with a cool breeze...SOOO nice, but I have to remember that June gloom is coming. Anyway it sounds like you have had a great memorial day weekend! Was it some kind of joke to make dad the youth speaker? Hahaha. What did he speak about? Andres got baptized this saturday!!!!! Woo hoo (see attached picture). I was out of town thursday and friday doing exchanges in Oxnard and Newbury Park and when I got back...bam baptism. It was so crazy. I still can't believe that he is a member of the church already! I feel like the time went by so fast. He was so prepared and has such a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. The day before his baptism he finished reading the Book of Mormon for the second time! That is pretty amazing. The baptism was really simple but really beautiful. His wife and sister and law gave talks, his daughter and niece sang a special musical number, the bishop baptized him (in spanish...so precious). We watched some mormon.org videos between the baptism and the spirit was so strong during the temple one (also side note one of the videos we watched was a conversion story of two kids who played on rivalry football teams and at the baptism Bentley was there as a missionary! That was so cool). When we came back from being baptized he really was just glowing. Then on Sunday he was baptized by fire (he recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost). His daughter was talking about how excited she is to have the priesthood in her home. I love this family so much and I will always be grateful to our Heavenly Father who allowed us to be here to teach him. We had a really cool thing happen to us this week. So we were walking back from meeting this family (the little 14 year old boy reminded me so much of Joseph Smith) and we see this lady struggling to carry a car seat and some bags so we run up to her and carry her carseat. We then teach her a bit about the book of mormon and set a return appointment with her. She was really excited for us to come back. Before leaving we asked her if there was anyone she knew that might need some service. She said her father and mother would need some and she gave us their address. So then we get in the car and I check the phone to see that we have a text message from the referral center I noticed that it was the same street as her parents, when I checked further I realized that it was the same people! They called for a DVD (finding faith in Christ). SUCH a miracle. Unfortunatley we did not have finding faith in christ in the car so we had to wait until we saw the elders. We are really excited about it. We had training for this bike rodeo that the city is helping out with and we are volunteering to help. I will be putting helmets on kids. It sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun. We are doing it this saturday from 8 am to 2 pm. It was really fun to be at the meeting and all the missionaries (well a lot of them) saying that we could help in spanish and english...BECAUSE WE SPEAK BOTH. Pretty cool. Lets see...It was really fun being back in Newbury Park. I love that place so much. SO MANY PEOPLE TO TEACH. I felt like I knew everyone though. Oh yes...next week is transfers....BUT my companion has to leave this thursday (home) because of visa and school stuff. She will be at BYUI (and I would really like to live with her too). SOoooo...starting wednesday I will have a new companion...but who really knows who...these are the random things missionaries have guessed.. 1.companions with Sister Castro (I wish) 2. mini missionary (someone who isnt a missionary but gets set apart for a week) 3. solo sister in a tri-pan with the assistants (that is really a joke) 4. break up a tri pan that is in Bakersfield and bring one of them down here. Im guessing the mini missionary but I wont find out until tuesday. Either way it will be super great, I know it! I love the scriptures! I love reading them in english and in spanish and the depth that it brings. I love how simply the Book of Mormon testifies of Christ and I know all who read it will come to know who we worship. I know that reading the Book of Mormon helps us to change our desires and inline them with those of Christ. I love being one of the Lord's full time missionaries. I will use his time to the fullest. LOVE YOU ALL!! Hermana Tippetts

I CANNOT believe its Tuesday...

Wow, the last few days have been so great and so crazy. First let me explain why I am writting on Tuesday. We had zone conference this week and we had ours on Monday so we had to have pday on tuesday. No stress. So we had sisters conference last week and it went great. As we were driving away me and Sister Vasquez looked at eachother and said "is it already over? I can't believe that it already happened". They day went by TOO quickly. We had beautiful musical numbers by the sisters, classes taught by some of the sisters and I learned so much!!!, Sister Vasquez and I taught about finding and talking to everyone, President Castro talked about our theme "thou art an elect lady whom I have called"...it was amazing and totally what all the sisters needed to hear. We had workshops on learning how to meditate and how to be more organized and take care of ourselves. We had a yummy yummy lunch and ended the day with some beauty tips by one of the sisters. It really was a great day. It was so spiritually uplifting and so impowering to see all these beautiful sisters who have desires to serve the Lord. THEN.... The very next day we headed up to Bakersfield in the evening. It was a really fun ride and we arrived in east bakersfield. As we were getting close to Arvin you could smell the lovely stink that is the Arvin signature and I rolled down my window and took in a good wiff. That smell will always be pleasing to me. hahaha. We were in Bakersfield until Sunday morning when we drove back. Bakersfield was HOT but I LOVED IT. I was a little worried that I would die when I finally got back to Vegas but I think I will be able to handle it ok. So many great things happened in Bakersfield. We crashed an apartment bbq and they fed us and we taught them the gospel, we set like 6 people with baptismal dates, we met so many people who were prepared for the gospel, and at the end of the night I always got to end up with my companion. YAY! I left my books in south bakersfield and didnt realize it until we were in Taft, so we were planning on staying the night in Taft again before we drove to Bakersfield but we decided that it was important that I had my books so we drove back to South Bakersfield. As we were about 10 minutes outside of Taft we realized that sister Vasquez forgot the phone in Taft so we turned around to go get. Needless to say it was a late night. But as we were driving in the middle of no where Bakersfield I rolled the window down and was just taking it all in and (I admit it was a little smelly), and I said "I will never forget this moment", Sister Vasquez found that so funny and has become one of her newest catch phrases. While we were gone our area was just great. Andres talked to the bishop about his baptism and all is settled for him to get baptized excet for his interview that he will have with a missionary tonight. He will be baptized this Saturday and I am so excited. In Preach My Gospel under the section of "helping people prepare for baptism and confirmation" I was reading how our commitments that we extend are what will help them prepare to make covenants with God like baptism and every single thing we have invited Andres to do, he has done. I know that he is so ready to make covenants with God! Yay! Two funny stories: So one day we had a lesson with one our less actives Julie and as we were driving to her house, about to turn into her neighborhood we saw her parked at the stop light going to the other direction. As we were turning I rolled down the window and was like, "Julie, turn,,,turn Julie"...hahaha she did and sister Vasquez was like "she obeyed you". It was funny. Julie is so funny and we have been trying to help her so much. I really hope she can feel the love the savior has for sure. Other funny story...so for zone conference we have car checks and part of that car check is that we have enough air in our tires. Well I wont lie (sorry dad), I really have no idea how to use those tire pressure measurer thingys...but I was willing to try. So about an hour before we have to go to the meeting we texted our zone leaders saying something like "hey if you havent filled up your tires yet there is a great gas station by the church and if you happen to see two confused sisters there you could help them out". The thing is we feel like we are always asking for help so we were trying to be a little more discreat about it....well needless to say they never showed up and I thought I did it right...added air...checked it...got a different reading every time but figured it was ok. Well...it wasnt...we were like 5 pounds low. hahaha...we blamed our zone leaders and afterwards we brought up the text...and they were like "oh........". Life lesson learned...if you want men to do something, ask them directly. They were nice though and came outside and taught us how to use the tire pressure gauge. So yeah. Life is just great. We are teaching some great people but as well e really need to find more so I am excited for the next couple weeks to work so hard and gain the trust of the Lord that he will place more elect investigators in our path! I have been learning so much and it is so crazy that here at the last part of my mission (kill me) I am still learning so much and still have a lot to learn. As for you question Mom about disneyland...I really dont care when we go. Whatever will be best for everyone else. Love you all lots! May 22,2012

Well hello again...

Well Im glad after calls we still get the chance to email because just like you said mom you get kind of lost for words. I had no idea what to say to anyone haha. Sorry, but it was fun to hear from everyone. It was so fun to hear how the kids are growing, especially Brandon I cant believe he sounds like a little man...and SHAVES. That is so weird. For sure tell Jamie and Jeff I missed them there too. But I will be able to see them and talk to them and not have to have a awkward phone call. Haha I am so awkward. I do like the idea of the new plans. I hope you can get your money back and everyone. Sorry it has been such a hassel. So this week was pretty good. We had some great miracles bringing members out with us. We really noticed it was something that we needed to improve on this week and we were able to hit the standard of excellence. Yay. I read a really good scripture this week in the Bible, it will be familiar to all of you but it really hit home with me. I was studying to know how people will recognize us as servants of the Lord when I came across it. John 13:34-35 " a new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35. by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another". I have sang that primary song a billion times but it just really made me think about and reevalute how much others can feel my love or the love the Savior has when we are with them. In my Book of Mormon reading I really found an answer to my prayers and it just reaffirmed my testimony that when we read the scriptures and apply them to our lifes we will be guided. We have some investigators who have been learning for a while but in their situation right now they are lacking the desire to make preparing for baptism a number one priority, we have been recently counseled that we need to spend our time with those who are elect and who are easy to teach. We love this family but we feel like they need some time to reflect and ponder how the gospel of Jesus Christ fits into their lives. BUT we were getting some flack from people saying that we should just go over and maintain and "friendship" with them. That we didnt have to teach them things. That really bothered me but I wasnt sure what to think. So as I was reading in the scriptures I came across this verse. 2 nephi 9:48 "Behold if ye were hoy I would speak unto you of holiness but as ye are not holy, and ye look upon me as a teacher it must needs be expedient that I teach you the consequences of sin." We are teachers and we are here to help people understand what God expects for them and what he has in store for them, so that scripture really instructed me. LOVE THE SCRIPTURES!!!! So this week we have Sister's conference. All the sisters in the mission will be coming for a training from 10-5. It is going to be so great! I have to conduct the morning session and I am so nervous. I dont know how to conduct very well so after emails the zone leaders are going to practice with me. Hahaha. I feel so dumb but thats ok. Sister Vasquez and I will also be giving a training about finding people and we will be focusing on talking to everyone and also teaching as soon as we find people! We are super excited about it. It will be a great day. I love Hermana Vasquez (my companion) she really is just such a great person to be around. She will also be going to BYU-I so maybe next semester or something I can live with her. There are 3 other spanish sisters who will be going there and I think it would be so cool if eventually all 4 of us lived together. It would be so easy too since most of us have lived with eachother already. But yeah I think just talking to Vanessa would be great to figure out the whole housing situation. We got to do service this saturday washing cars for a school fundraiser (it was for President Castro's daughters school) It was really fun and we were even able to find a less active woman through it who has only been a member of the church for a couple of years. It was such a blessing. We even took advantage of it and washed our own car! Woo hoo. Less time on Pday that we have to spend cleaning. It was sooo cute too because the little kids who were cleaning were being really agressive with our car and the mission president's daughter was like "hey dont do that, that is the sisters car" Anyway I really love being a missionary. Right after our phone call we went to an appointmen with a lady we met the other day, it was one of those "sure I guess you can come back" and when we got there it looked like they were all running in trying to hide from us BUT we came up anyway and she let us teach her. As we were teaching her she had the question of "what is the true church, Ive always wanted to know so that I could fall God". She loved the restoration and without hesitation she said she would prepare to be baptized! yay! The EVANGELISTA FAMILY IS SO GREAT!!!! I love them. Hermano Evangelista (the one we are teaching), he knows the church is true and is preparing for his baptism and he even called his mom and family in Mexico and told them to find the missionaries and invite them to come over because he knows its true and he wants his family to know. How cool is that? It really goes to show you that when we are repenting and when we are trying to live the gospel as he is striving to do our desire to share the gospel grows. Well I love you all and hope you have a great week. Thanks for being such a great family! LOVE YOU!!!! Hermana Tippetts

Well its Monday again

May 7, 2012 Well...It has been a week. Haha Weeks go by WAY too fast. I am with my companion again (I just love her to pieces), Hna Vasquez. She never fails to make me laugh. She just said that you all are going to think she is a clown. Haha oh man...ANYWAY... So I guess first things first is orders of business....I can call home around 5 oclock on Mothers day. That will be the best time for my companions family (and they are all the way in honduras) So that will work out. Whoever can be there that would be great and whoever cant will be missed BUT itll all be good. Sooo we had transfer meeting this week (that is the meeting we have the first day of ever transfer and all the missionaries who are changing come to Ventura and the missionaries who are leaving bare their testimonies and the new missionaries get their trainers. President usually says a few words...we get to sing the mission song which is my FAVORITE, #41 let Zion in her beauty rise). They never cease to be inspiring, this transfer President left a blessing upon us that if we would go back to our new zone of proselyting with a renewed energy to do this work and that we would be successful. He also talked about how when we obey commandments we directly get the blessings and he invited us to really obey the commandments that we would like to see the blessings of. Its been a great week! On Monday we had this awesome miracle when we took the new sisters out for their first "declaring" experience. First one we saw the fruits immediatley...so we were about to go back to the mission home and we saw this lady sitting at the bus stop so we stopped and talked to her. She was really struggling the drug abuse and we promised her that if she read the Book of Mormon when she had a craving she would be able to stop. She was so excited and filled with joy. She lived in a different town near by so we got her information so the missionaries could visit her and she wanted them to come over that night! It was so cool. The second one we saw the fruits the day after. So we met this guy Cameron walking down the street and we started talking to him about the restored gospel and the Book of Mormon. Finally he said, Im really sorry sisters but Im already meeting with........SOME ELDERS. Haha. We were like OH..ok. We found out which Elders they were (our zone leaders), but then felt impressed to read in the introduction of the Book of Mormon with him and ask him if he knew it was true. He said yes! We committed him to be baptized and he accepted. We called the Elders that night to tell them about it and they said they had recently dropped him because he wasnt really progressing. Well the next day we get a phone call from them telling us that they followed up with him and were able to set him with a baptismal date and they said he was never willing to do that before. A huge part of it I think was one of the new missionaries is straight from Samoa and doesnt know much english and is a convert and she bore a powerful testimony. It was SO awesome. We met a really great couple...well they are kind of funny and have a billion questions but they are interested and are keeping committments. After we met them she said that she wanted to cancel but he wanted to hear us out. We had met them and taught them the Restoration the first time we met them and then we came back and taught the plan of salvation. They have really great questions but are really nervous that they are going to get brain washed. Its really funny and cute. She had some bad experiences with members of our church growing up and I am SO grateful that we are able to talk to her abut those things and get them straightened out. Im really excited about him. Ok another miracle...I dont know if I told you about this a while ago but when I was in Newbury Park...well actually the full story would be better to share in person because its kind of sacred. BUT we really started teaching this investigator Marcos that Sister Dalton and myself started teaching he came to the cinco de mayo party the branch put on (it was SO amazing) and then came to church the next day. He is planning on helping the members with a mother day activity this week. He is so great and the branch has been so good at fellowshipping him. We have such an amazing branch! Which is so great because member fellowship is so important, if these new members dont feel part of the ward family it is really hard for them. We saw Claire again (the lady who we knocked on her door when she was praying to find Jesus) and left for London on Sunday but we committed her to be baptized in London and we exchanged information. Im really excited for her. Hermano Evangelista is SO great. Wow. We taught him the Word of Wisdom last week and he has problems with coffee and seemed iffy on wanting to quit but we came back this week and he started drinking things like hot chocolate instead and he told us at church this week that he hasnt drank coffee at all!!!!!!! You can just see the light in people's faces when they are keeping committments and really repenting. They are preparing to make covenants with God which we know will purify us! Kristen is also moving along. We have had some really spiritual lessons with her and she really wants to get baptized she has some serious fears about going to church and water but I know she can work through them. I can see her pushing through her fears every day. She is such a great and strong woman and I love teaching her. We really just need to help her become more consistent. I love being a missionary. It is really so great. You would think by this time of my mission I would have spanish down perfectly and I would know exactly how to teach but its not true. I stll have so much that I could learn and Im really striving to learn more spanish and learn how to be a better teacher. It is super humbling to know that I will never have this totally figured out but thats ok! We have to cut our pday short again today so we can have a meeting with President and Sister Castro and plan for sisters conference which we will have this month!I love the Castro's sooooooo much! It is going to be a busy month! P.s. Mom yes I would like to visit the mission after. But we dont have to. We can talk about it laterrrrrr. Ive got lots of time here still. Love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hermana Tippetts
