Sister Stroud Missionary Update

Dear Family and Friends,
I wanted to let you know that Catey is doing fine and is loving the MTC. She also loves her companion, Sister Hardy, who is from Louisiana. We received an email from her last Tuesday which was her P-day. Her email is full of her humor and her spiritual side. One funny thing that she wrote is, "I'm pretty much super popular and have already gotten like 524 letters. Ha Ha." That sounds just like Catey.

I would also like to share part of her testimony with you. "I know without a doubt, that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ, restored by Joseph Smith in these last days. I know that Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us. We truly are His children... I know that Jesus Christ loves us so much that he gave His live for us. He knows exactly what we are going through, every struggle, every pain."

Catey's departure date for her first area has been changed. She leaves July 29th instead of August 5th. I will try to update her blog on Tuesdays as we receive her emails. Thank you for keeping Catey in your prayers. Please write to her if you have a spare minute. I know she would love to hear from you.
Love,
Momma Stroud
