This week has been overall crazy! It's been a super successful one though!
Tuesday March 10
I love helping out at the Senior Center! It's a blast! The people crack me up! After we got all our studies in, we headed up to Cloudcroft! We had some lessons and some contacts! We didn't have a dinner, so we called President and Sister Bell to see if we could eat with them! We ended up going to their place for dinner! They live in Weed, New Mexico. It's a super, super small ranch/farm town! They have one gas pump and a post office!
It was started to get dark out and there is a lot of wildlife in Cloudcroft. We ended up calling President Weathersby and asked for permission to stay the night! We ended up staying the night at the Bell's house! It was so fun! Sister Bell gave us some nightgowns and she had extra toothbrushes and extra everything we needed! It was so fun! And of course we ended the night with President Bells Ice Cream! 
(He makes the best homemade ice cream!)

Day 2 in Weed, New Mexico.
I slept so good. The feather bed I slept in was way better than the bed in my apartment! The Bells are so kind to let us stay the night and take over their upstairs! I hope we will be able to do it again before I get transferred! (Whenever that is.) We ended up spending the day in Cloudcroft and doing a lot of service! We helped out at the Weed Library and at the Weed Mart (once again weed is a town in New Mexico)
Once we got back into town, we started to hear more and more about the Coronavirus. Our dinner appointment the only thing we talked about was the virus! Thank goodness we bought a 12 pack of toilet paper last week. I guess that is a hot item at the stores!

Happy Birthday Bella!
We got to go to the Senior Center twice this week! It was great! Once again I have grown to love the seniors! Then afterwards we had weekly planning. Blah.
During weekly planning is when we heard of the news that we will not be attending church. That was a crazy announcement.
We went to a Relief society Birthday dinner! The last church function for a little while until the whole Coronavirus cools down! It was fun to be with people one last time!
Friday March 13
District Councils! I am so glad that we are still able to meet together as a District! Life will be good on Friday! We went on exchanges today! I stayed in White Sands and Hermana Fisk came down to be with me! We found two new people today. Which is crazy successful for this area! People are not the nicest to us or the most interested! So that was a miracle to find those two people!
We had a lesson with Jessica and it went so well! We gave her a trailer for the next lesson and she was dying to hear what we would talk about next time!
Saturday March 14
Happy Pie Day!
Day Two of exchanges! We attended a baptism for someone in our ward! They had it at their house! It was so different but every fun! We also helped out at a thrift store in town! We broke down boxes. And it was kind of disgusting because the boxes were outside in the rain. But I cowgirl up-ed and did it!
We then drove half way to Las Cruces to end exchanges! It was a Fun exchange!
Then we drove to dinner and we had pizza because of pi day and a pie! It was fun!
Sunday March 15
First Sacrament Meeting not at a church building! It was a neat experience to be in Bishop Cox's home and to partake of the Sacrament! I was also asked to give a talk! ha hah! So I shared some of my thoughts about home centered church for about 15 mins!
We then went out and visited some members and nonmembers! We also had a lesson with some members to teach one of their boyfriends! He wants to get baptized! So that's cool! It was just a good week!
Scripture of the week
John 4:14
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
I love the Gospel! Jesus Christ wants up to be happy and find peace! When we drink of the water Christ gives us and life the Gospel to its fullness we will have eternal life! That includes eternal happiness and eternal peace! With the Coronavirus going around things are getting pretty crazy! No toilet paper, hand soap, or paper towels! Its crazy! But through Jesus Christ we are able to find peace and comfort during these troubling times! Look unto to Christ!
Love, Sister Susanna Tracy
