Worked right through her shoes!

Sweet Carley...she didn't have time for much of an e-mail this week because she sent about a dozen pictures each with a long caption for the photo. So, without further adieu, here's her update this week. Make sure you read her captions! They are pretty much her e-mail.

"Thank you [everyone] for the prayers offered in behalf of me, I feel their strength as I go throughout the day. I don't know quite how to describe it but I feel like the spirit lets me know who/where my source of spiritual power derives from sometimes. It's like getting a second wind. In the scriptures it says that His grace is sufficient after all we can do [2 Nephi 25:23 - found in the Book of Mormon] I know this to be true and it makes trusting the Lord so much easier because I don't have to feel like I am ever on my own. But we also have each other for sources of strength to propel us forward."

Poor unfortunate souls!!! They bit the dust. Could I please have another pair that look EXACTLY like these somehow? They were so perfect.

My 'nother pair of shoes also broke....I feel like Dallas going through shoes so quick! But I don't need another pair like these as much. I am down to one pair of shoes-the wonderful black ones Auntie Barbara got  me.

All the Polski sisters, they have been so welcoming

All the Polskis

The Czech Sestri

Dallas!! I found your future language book in a classroom!!

I may or may not LOVE this stuff. True story. (Courtney's note: I had to zoom in really close to see what she is holding...it's the Walmart Brand sugar-free Cherry Pomegranate water bottle drink mix...can you say "easy to please?")

Me and Siostra H (Courtney's note: Yep, "siostra" not "sestra", I guess "siostra" means "sister" in Polish?)

Me and Siostra M. She's leaving Monday, so sad for me, happy for her!

Me and the Czech Republic in our room. It shows all the castles

Me with Siostra O, Love her!!!  (Polish)

My fellow Texans, going to the Adriatic North Mission. Sister P (blonde) and Sister M (brunette)

Siostra W, She is hysterical!!!

Oh, and if you want a real treat, Carley sang in the choir at yesterday's broadcast, "The Work of Salvation"!  I couldn't find her in the sea of choir members and missionaries, (sheesh, there were a TON!), but if you want to see just how many missionaries are in the Provo MTC, click this link and it'll take you to the broadcast (or just look at the screen shot I took below).
