Hello Favorites,
How
are you all today? I am doing SPAMTASTILICIOUS! (Yep, I just created my
own word. And don't ask me what the word combination is because I
really have no idea. Sorry.)
This week was AWESOME!
We didn't accomplish much when it came to numbers, but we were able to
make some good visits, feel the Spirit and have fun doing the work, and
that's half of what makes being a missionary fun.
So, this
week began with a three hour nap Tuesday morning. It was much needed. I
promise. I don't take naps unless I feel like 1) I'm emotionally going
to explode or 2) I am physically going to explode into a puddle of
exhaustion or sickness. So I took a much needed nap. And it made me feel
all better. And I was climbing back up to peak functioning
performance.
The most exciting thing that happened
Wednesday was cleaning the car in preparation for Zone Conference. We
took it and got it washed and vacuumed and then we re-vacuumed it with
the Merrill's vacuum which they let us borrow. Thursday morning, we
washed out the inside of the car.
Thursday we had the most
excellent Zone Conference I have had my entire mission. BOOM! I felt the
Spirit. And that was the highlight of the conference. Actually there
were many other conference highlights like: listening to everyone's
musical talents. I even got to help with one. I was the Pianist for the
missionary medley Saviour Redeemer by Nicole Skousen. The really cool
thing was knowing that I had first seen the music Monday night at
8:00pm, and that using the sheet music I arranged an accompaniment to
play with them while the group sang. It was an amazing feat considering
the schedule of the modern Sister Missionary. HUZZAH! I felt much
accomplished.
Friday we had two really good lessons with
Dillon and Lisa. Lisa hopes to be able to come to church with us this
Sunday, and Dillon will be getting baptized the weekend of General
Conference. HAPPY DAY! It's so cool to keep reading and teaching and
watching them to grow. I can really see how the Spirit is helping them
to change and to succeed. It is awesome! (This is a gospel of Miracles!

Saturday
was PI day! HAPPY PI(3.1415) DAY! And we were able to experience an
infinite number of miracles just as PI is an infinite number. It was
blessed!
We received contact information for a golden referral
and his family. He just walked into the stake center with his two kids
and said, I want to learn about your church. (What I understand from the
Sister who gave us the information: he and his wife have been looking
for a christian church to raise their kids in and they picked ours.)
We
were blessed to eat dinner at Noodles & Company because of Sister
Mullen giving us $20 since we didn't have dinner that night.
We
got to eat pie to celebrate pie day! I had a gluten free french silk
and Sister Nolin had the rest of her lemon meringue from earlier in the
week. They were absolutely DELICIOUS! OMNOM! #happypiday
Our
Sabbath day was really good too. We got to go to church and partake of
the sacrament. We got to learn about tithing, forgiveness and how to
become more like the Savior. I felt the Spirit and I know the Lord loves
and is mindful of each one of us as individuals. =D
I
think the most fun part of our Sunday was visiting with Sister Peters to
talk about the Plan of Salvation skit we're trying to put together for
the ward talent show. I am SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!
I just LOVE everything, and I love all of you!
Because
of Jesus Christ's Atonement all of this is possible. I know this is
true. The miracles I have witnessed this week, the amazing people I have
gotten to work with, the progress of Dillon and Lisa. I just love the
Gospel SOOOOO much! #BecauseHeLives
