Dress for Success
THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING!
besides how fast it went by!
MOMENTS THIS WEEK:)
We had zone conference which was amazing and sad since we
are getting a new mission president in June. President Ashton had to talk to
us about the transition. Oh my gosh it was so sad. Then when sister Ashton went up to talk everyone was crying. It will be weird to have them go. I know I
was blessed with the most amazing mission president and his wife. I
know President Hall will be amazing! Start praying for my new mission
president. He is in his 40's and has 4 kids! He looks amazing! He
is from Utah. Also pray for President and Sister Ashton. They are so
sad to leave and are still working so hard! We set some amazing goals for this
last little bit of the mission. All of the missionaries are working so hard.
If
anyone has some good advice on a change of mission president, let me
know :) help me out! because I know it will be hard!
At zone conference we had some awesome studies! I cant even begin to
describe how smart President Ashton is. He taught us about the atonement of
Jesus Christ. It blows my mind, It is amazing how much we learned.
but then how much the spirit taught me that day was something I wont
forget. I know Jesus Christ truly loves me. To just think of all he went
through I feel so bad, but that's why we have the power of repentance! That is a gift to all of us, so people repent daily :) Jesus Christ
suffered, so that we wouldn't have too.
Also
we were taught all about Family history! and boy was my mind blown....
the power we have to do temple work is the BOMB! hahah We would be
going to the temple all day long if we knew of how many people are just
waiting for the gospel! Think of the amazing blessing we have to be able to do work
for the dead. It is a blessing to have temples close to us. SO
PEOPLE GO DO WORK!!! Please, I know your ancestors are waiting. Go do
family history! do something!! It is cool. We are allowed to do family
history each week for an hour. I was doing it and found that I have a
relative named HANNAH WIDDISON who lived from 1838-1871! how cool :) Just like my sister! whooh you find out cool things when you do family
history!
Okay time for gator talk :)
LETTY and LOUIS :)
Louis is the member, and Letty is his girlfriend! but they aren't
married and they live together! They know they are
breaking the law of chastity! Letty has never wanted to get
baptized, but she loves church! (typical) hahah well on Monday we go
to have a FHE with them and it was amazing!! but let me start from the
beginning! So we go and they are all excited. (Oh Letty and Louis are
in their 30's and they have 6 kids.) but only 2 together! So they are a cute
family! ahw I just love them. anyways, We had an amazing FHE about the
restoration and Louis has an amazing testimony. Then they asked us to
come back on Friday, so we did.. haha and we were super prompted to
teach them about The Family Proclamation to the World! So we go in and Letty and Louis are like super excited and they say "we have
news"! hahah and we are like... what? Then Louis says "we want to be
sealed in the temple in a year. So we need to get married and Letty
wants to get baptized." WHATTTT OUR JAWS DROPPPED! We were freaking out
ahahahahaha YAY!! so excited!
The spirit was like blowing a 10000 mph in
our faces hahah but really it was strong! So we talked to them about
it and Letty wants to finally get married and she wants to get
baptized. They really want to go to the temple and be sealed as a
family. OH MY GOODNESS. We were so pumped. So we get to plan a
wedding here soon :) They are praying for a date right now :) So all
you at home can pray they figure out a date!!! but how cool, we walk in,
they tell us that crazy news. after we were prompted to teach them about
the Family Proclmation!! THE HOLY GHOST IS SO COOL! Stay worthy of
promptings from the holy ghost people, its cool :)
anyways
that was amazing! POWERFUL LESSON!
Oh my heavens... EDMUND.. He is just so funny. He
comes to church but always leaves early because he has to go to his
other Baptist church called "Bethel" hahaha (ugh that darn Bethel
church).. Edmund came to church and SNORED the ENTIRE sacrament
meeting... hahah the only time he woke up was when his phone rang on
full volume... bahahahhahaha I tried so hard not to laugh but you
know me, I was practically rolling on the ground! hahaha :) anyways,
pray Edmund just gets baptized or something.. hes been coming to church
for years... seriously he is the ideal ETERNAGATOR!!!
As for Audrey... shes so sweet! She thought we were 35 years old though.. haha but we love visiting her! and she loves us!!
So we love sister Barbour :)
She
is a lady about 80 years old. She can't come to church because she
physically can't. So we visit her weekly. I love her!!! My
heart is so full of love for her, and oh my heavens, so we were visiting
her and she was like "girls I think I have something you would just
love". So she asks us our dress sizes.. and gets her walker and
goes into her room.. hahah she brings out two pretty decently cute
dresses for Hermana V and then she gives me her dress she wore on her 50th
anniversary... ahhaha
okay I love you all :
)Have a good week!
I will talk to you all in what seems like a blink of an eye :)
take care!
LOVE
