Sending you hugs and kisses and lots of love.

The drivers license division can mail you a form (they have to mail it to you in NZ).  You fill it out and you have to get it notarized.  The woman I spoke with said that is easy in some countries and difficult in others...  So maybe ask around if there is a notary near you before we take this step.  Here in the USA usually someone at the bank or at a business is a notary, sometimes the library or a government building.  Once you get that done you mail it back to the DLD and then she said it can take a few weeks to 90 days to process and if it is all cleared they will send you a new drivers license.  So let me know if you can find a notary and then will can go from there.

Tuesday I went to lunch with Grant and Kirsten.  It was fun to just visit with them.  Then I went to lunch with Stacey and Jennifer yesterday.  It had been 6 weeks since I had seen Jennifer, so crazy!  Life just keeps on going.  Last month I signed up for pilates at the same studio as Stacey so I see her on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I've advanced to the 1.5 level so I'll probably see her more often.  Any way as if that wasn't enough food for me, hahaha, I went to dinner last night with the NYC girls.  So fun to meet up with them, even though we all have kind of crazy families and lives at the moment.  It's always good to chat and catch up.

Thursdays Suzie and I usually go to the temple, but today she and Ann Marie are making caramels, it was the only day that worked for them.  It's great that they have become good friends again.  So I might go say hi for a bit, I don't know that I have 3 hours of caramel making in me!

Ethan shaved a little time off of both of his swim races on Tuesday, pretty exciting.  He has another meet on Friday, last one before the holidays.  It's fun to see him enjoying a sport and doing well.

No cool scripture insights, but I've been reading 3 Nephi this week.  The end of the year is getting close!  I've got about 80 pages left to read before then, so I'll make it, but the pressure is on ;) haha.  As I was reading chapters 12-18 it reminded me of teaching New Testament.  It is amazing how much of Christ's teachings in the new Testament and crammed into those 6 chapters!  So if you need a New Testament refresher, just read through 3 Nephi 12-18 or so :)  And of course chapter 13 is full of good missionary scriptures as Christ is talking to the newly called 12 apostles:

For behold, ye are they whom I have chosen to minister unto this people.  Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink (or whether you will be driving a car or walking?) nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.  Are ye not much better than they?  Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?  And why take ye thought for raiment? consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin;

For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.  Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Such beautiful verse throughout that chapter.  Ask Heavenly Father and he will direct you to those he knows are ready to hear the gospel and if you listen and prepare, he'll make the way for you to find them.  Keep working hard.  Love you.

Love you, keep me updated on the license situation and we'll see what we can do.

Love you, no really Love you and I'm excited to be able to take you to lunch when you are back.

Mom

Okay that is a small problem haha. We discovered that I can drive if I have a photo copy of my license, so we will use that for now but yes please send the papers over as soon as possible. 

Awee this sounds like a super fun and crazy week! Yay I'm glad he likes swimming! I'm curious, is his chub still there or is it slowly falling off as he's exercising? Haha I'm excited to eat lunch with you when I'm back too. I miss you heaps!

My spiritual experience for the week is fasting and prayer. I fasted and prayed a lot as I was trying to find my license. Every night I would pray that if it wasn't in the flat, that someone else would find it and would be able to send it to me. Nothing was happening, and I felt a little abandoned. Yesterday I prayed that we would be able to use the car to further his work. Today I called and found out that we'll be able to drive even without my physical copy! I know that Heavenly Father is listening, and if a prayer isn't being answered maybe it's the way we worded it and not that he's decided to be silent. 

This week has been filled with lots of happy. My new companion is just full of energy and smiles I love it. My trainer and I stressed each other out so it's nice to have happy for a change. 

I miss yous so much and can't wait to skype on Christmas!!! Oh yeah by the way is it okay if I skype yous on Christmas eve around 3:30 pm? That way I can skype you on my Christmas and have a little extra spirit!

Yes, we would totally love for you to Skype us on Christmas Eve!  I'll run that by dad to make sure, but we will take you anytime you are available. :)  I'll call the drivers division back and have them send the paperwork.  You find a notary.  Does your new companion not drive?  What is her name and how long has she been out?
