This one is for Shelley!!

We had the the Elders over for dinner 2 weeks ago,
we got to talking,
and as snoopy as I am
I asked if they happened to know
any of the newer missionaries that had come out.
Specifically the sister missionaries:)
To my surprise, they knew
my sweet Sister Dodd!!
I got to digging a little deeper
and found out she was only an hour or so away....
So I called the mission office,
and had them make a lunch appointment!
The secretary had to call back and forth
between us a bit to get everything in order.
The best part was,
Madi wasn't exactly sure who was coming!
They told her that her old babysitter
from Topeka was taking her out.
Of course Madi - Sister Dodd
was confused!! Who does she know
in Topeka Kansas?!
We pulled up to the house and she came
running out -
oh it was so awesome to see her!
She seemed so grown up
being a missionary and all.
There wasn't a moment of silence!
She is doing some amazing work,
and I loved her companion,
Sister Cleveland.
They are a perfect fit!
My little Madi was so excited to see
'Sister Madi'!


This picture had to have been taken
about 6-7 years ago!
I randomly found it the other day.
I surely love this girl
in every way!
The Dodd's are like a second family me
and I miss them so dearly.
So it was wonderful to be
able to see one of them way out here!!

Sister Dodd picked out a delicious
custard place!
She got a good picture of
little Madi with ice cream
ALL over her face:)

We also teased Sister Dodd
that we will be naming our next
little girl Hillary!
hahaha!

(for those who don't know Madeline's little
sister is Hillary. And we tease that Madison
was named after Sister Dodd)

Sister Cleveland, us, Sister Dodd
