The edited update... :)

(Note from mom:  It was suggested that we not share names of members and investigators on public blogs and FB posts, thus I have edited the names she put in.  Also was told we shouldn't share the pictures of members and investigators without permission so I am only posting the ones of Kaitlin and the other Sisters from here on out)

Hey mommy! Yeah I did get the package:) thanks so much!! We got candy
overloaded this week! Our ward spoils us and we had multiple people
make us little Easter goodie bags plus the candy from you guys plus
candy from sister Chadwick's family and her friend:) we are learning
how to exercise self control :p

I miss the temple so much:( president Cusick is working on getting permission

for us to go but so far no such luck. But, we do get to see the dedication

 of the Fort Lauderdale temple on May 4!

We are starting to find that even though President Cusick seems really
strict, if you are an obedient missionary he will pretty much let you
do anything as long as you ask him first and it helps us fulfill our
purpose as missionaries:) We also got to run another 5k this week! We
passed out 103 Mormon.org cards, (much more successful than last
time). And one of our zone leaders took 3rd place! It was super fun:)
then it starting raining, but there's a weird thing that happens here
in Florida where it's not really rain but it's like the air is misty.
It's really awesome!  

You should tell people to write me letters or emails!
I need more love:)

 Easter was so fun! Like I said we got spoiled by the ward :)

plus we had a baptism!!! It was the neatest experience!
Then we went and had dinner with the (O Family).

They are probably my favorite people ever! They have six
kids, so I felt pretty at home :) their daughter N. is like my best
friend, she's ten but she's as tall as me! I love her to death! And
then they have a cute little baby that it kills me I can't hold! She
is so cute! On holidays we aren't allowed to say no to members who
invite us over. So if we get invited to ten dinners, we better have a
huge appetite! Luckily we only got invited to two. The other is this
cute couple who are raising two of their grand kids. And I love them
as well. We have dinner over there every Sunday :) but they we moving
to Texas:/ I can't remember what part.... Maybe they will be in Jesse’s
ward! How weird would that be? :)

 We also got to sing in sacrament meeting. I had a solo/ descant part

and I totally bombed it! It was bad ... But it was okay because the spirit

was there anyway:) The baptism was the neatest experience!

Like words cannot describe. It's incredible how Heavenly Father prepares people

 to hear his gospel. And he leads us to them at just the right time.  It's really
taught me never to judge people. Or to say that they will never
change, because we can't see the work that Heavenly Father is doing on
their hearts. And everyone can change! We just need to keep praying
for them and keep inviting them to come unto Christ, because one of
these days they might be ready to accept that invitation. And how sad
would it be if we gave up on them right before that happens?

I've decided that I want to give you guys weekly invitations to do
things, and I want the whole family, extended included, to
participate:) people this work is being hastened, and it's being
hastened for a reason. Not because Heavenly Father is bored and wants
to mix things up, not because it's time for something new. It's
because time is running out, Christ is coming, guys.  That's the
bottom line. The finish line is in sight and it's time to give this
all that we've got! We can't be lazy about this and we can't sit back
and hope someone else will do it. We have to be the ones to do it,
right now! Right now, nothing is more important! Nothing is more
important than helping our brothers and sisters get Home.
So this week’s invitation is to meet the missionaries in your area, get
to know them, and get to know their investigators and pray for their
investigators, by name, as a family, every night. And I will follow up
next week, and see how it went! How easy is that? .... Don't worry,
they will get harder :)
I love you all so much! And I hope all is well :) have a super
fantastic week, say your prayers, and read your scriptures!

Love always, Sister Rowland
