Hey Y'all!! 

Happy JUNE! What in the world?! How is it June already? Thank you so much for all of the emails and pictures! 

This was a quick week for us, but definitely eventful :) We started off the week by driving to Clayton, NM to teach G and on the way back, we took pictures by the "Welcome to Texas" sign and then got back on the road. Shortly after, I looked in the side mirror and saw red and blue lights coming up on us and said, "Sister Ludwinski, I'm pretty sure you are getting pulled over!" hahaha... That's right! We got stopped by a Texas State Trooper for going like 6 or 7 over- all is well, she got off with a warning! 

We taught M and C this week who are returning less-actives and we felt so strongly that we needed to teach them the Plan of Salvation. The only problem? We don't have a strong enough vocabulary to teach that lesson in Español!! We ended up teaching and reading straight out of Preach my Gospel! I'm so grateful for that missionary manual! 

We also did some service this week with Sister Baumert at her bakery, the Sugar Shack! We rolled and baked sugar cookies! Best service ever! Sister Ludwinski and I will be staying together for this next transfer! So that will be really good :) Rumor has it that we might be covering another outlying town in New Mexico called Tucumcari, because they just barely shut down the area and the place is still hoppin' with people who are prepared and ready for the restored gospel! I hope that we get to cover it! 

G was baptized this week! It was such a sweet and spiritual baptism! She and her dad had been waiting for 3 years for her to be baptized! The Lord always prepares a way! We also had a new Branch Presidency put into the Dalhart Branch! President Baumert was released after 12 years of service as the branch president, and now it is President Wright (the family who let us call/Skype from their home on Mother's Day!) I love them! There are so many wonderful people here! The work is moving forward and it's so rewarding to be a part of the Lord hastening his work! Thanks for all of the love and support y'all send my way! Have a great week :)

Love,

Sister Evans
