Happy Mothers Day!!!!!
 
It was so good to talk to ya'll yesterday! And it was so fun to see all of the nieces and nephews. They were all adorable and all so grown up! I'm glad ya'll enjoyed the package, and I'm sorry I couldn't send something for everyone.  :(
 
Highlights from the week:
 
This last Saturday we went to downtown Skreveport and with washable chalk to draw out the Plan Of Salvation. While we were drawing it, a lot of people stopped to watch us and seemed really curious as to what we were drawing. When we finished, people started walking up to us asking what it was we had drawn on the pavement. To each person who asked, we walked to through the plan with them and taught them what it all meant. After awhile, we started walking up to people asking if they had two minutes that we could walk them through the Plan Of Salvation. Me and Sister Greenhalgh did it all separately so that we could talk to and teach more people. Over all, we taught around 40 lessons  and each were about 2-5 minutes long. It was sooo fun! Although some people tried to pinch and kiss my cheek, give Sister Greenhalgh a hug and/or take her home, and take us to the club, we found others who were actually interested in what we had to share. We gave lots of cards and plan pamphlets and several people who said they would be interested in missionaries coming over. By the end of it we were exhausted, just a little sunburnt, and very happy with how our morning had gone. We plan on doing it again soon, but next time it might the Restoration or gospel.
 
After calling ya'll yesterday me and Sister Greenhalgh spent the rest of the day heart attacking single women in our ward. It was super fun, and I hope it made some of the lady's day in the ward :D It's so weird that the next time I see you it will be in person!  Anyways, that's pretty much our week, and I'll talk to ya'll next Monday!:D
  
Love, Sister Keables
