Wow has this week been so crazy. Lets see last Monday we all
went over to Sister Parsons and had dinner we cook Philipino food (which was
amazing by the way.) Also Sister Whitten and Kaitlin (her daughter) came we had
a blast. Tuesday our sister training leaders came and stayed the night because
Wednesday we had a meeting in Twin Falls which the drove us too (in a big
Sister Scott van too! totally brought memories of going to camp :)) We had the
new missionary meeting which was for all the trainers and the new missionaries
. It was kind of funny being there they kept asking the trainers for what
advice they might give or experiences they had as a new missionary. Sister
James and I just sat there and laughed we were like we are still new
missionaries we have no advice! haha President just kept laughing it was really
funny. So then the sister training leaders brought us back and we went on
exchanges with them. Me and Sister Nettles (who is from Oceanside...by the way)
went to 4th ward and visited people there. We went to the Whitten's because
guess what... they moved this week!!! Sad Day!! They were like family it was so
sad to see them leave. They are already planning on me coming to North Dakota
after my mission. They are so funny and I am really going to miss them.
Thursday we had a lot of stuff to do with the other sisters and we also had a
lesson with Teresa that night and she said she wants to get baptized like this
month too!! woohoo!! I was just smiling the whole time, finally she was like
what are you smiling about, I hadn't realized it but I was just so excited to
see her so excited about baptism and how much the gospel has changed her. Its
amazing to see how much joy the gospel brings into our lives sometimes as
members I think we just assume that everyone's life if great but I am coming to
understand how much the gospel blesses lives and how much I want it in my life.
Friday we had Zone Meeting in Wendell we talked a lot about
Personal study and how it effects your whole day. It really came a perfect time
because lately I have been struggling with what exactly I need to be studying
an This was just what I needed. I have found that since I am doing these things
I am learning what the Lord wants me to know. Its amazing how much he wants us
to succeed he never wants us to fail. On Saturday we went to Prairie with
sister Freer. Dad you would have died there were quite a few guys fly fishing
in the canyon river when we were there also the was a huge flock of turkeys
that really would of made a great dinner- just saying. The people in Prairie are
so nice they fed us lunch and we got to talk to them and they are so kind to us
and we love going up there. This weekend was also Stake Conference and wow
Saturday night they had all the youth there too and the youth also spoke it was
amazing and they did such a good job. They talked about hastening the work and
they really brought the spirit and I learned a lot. Sunday session I also
learned a lot and It was great. We also had a lunch at the Wilsons house and
they had a new investigator over as well and we had a lesson with Jenny, she is
so excited for her baptism this week and I am so excited for her. she is
awesome and so ready to have the gospel and the church in her life. Well as I
am writing this I see we had a really busy week and It was good. It will be
nice this week though to kind of get back to a normal schedule. I really have
been focusing on the Atonement this week and It amazing me how much I still
learn about it each week. Things that I thought I knew but now I know so much
more. The Lord has truly blessed me in my life and I see it more and more
everyday. I am so grateful for my Savoir and what he has done so that I have
the choice to come back to live with my Father in Heaven again. I love you guys
so much. I really hope that Adam gets better this week, he is in my prayers. I
love you guys!
