Come listen to a Prophets voice

Dear friends and family, 

This week flew by like lightening, and the changes came rapid fire. I am very excited for the week ahead mostly because I am about healed and able to actually start working! Yay (:

   Monday we rested, Sister Clay had another bad nose bleed so she was told us had to go to the ER. She wasn't so happy, we ended up texting the ZLs so they could come and give her a blessing. They were pretty excited to see us answer it was a good blessing. Then at 12 the Duling's came and Izzy stayed with me while they went to the ER. They got back with no good news and sadly they hadn't been much help. We decided to leave the apartment and go to the Church to email, sadly the weekly I had worked so hard on didn't send and didn't save as and dad draft... :( just riding the struggle buss. I wasn't feeling so good and was emotional so we decided to take the Lee's up on their offer and went to the mission home for the night. We got there as they were finishing a FHE with Dusty and the YSA elders. It was neat to see them all. Then we watched the woman's conference and ate popcorn. It was so nice and I just love them! 

   Tuesday we spent with the Lee's. Seriously I love and adore them the most out of everyone right now! They made us waffles for breakfast and then we had our Missionary Leadership call. It was a good call and there was and lot of inspired council given. Afterwards sister clay and I did a little planning and made some phone calls before I was sent back to bed. I haven't been sleeping so well and I needed some extra rest anyway. When I got up we ate some lunch, the assistants were there helping finalize for the zone conferences this week. After Lunch we went out and fed the ducks and the fishes. It's President Lee's favorite relaxing hobby. I've never seen fish eat bread but they were about jumping out of the water to get it. We also fed some ducks and then 2 geese and a turtle. It was really fun and very relaxing. Then we listen to Elder Britch (an assistant) practice his musical number for zone conference. It was really beautiful! Right before we left I asked President Lee if we could have an interview. It was one of the best I've ever had! I have no doubt in my mind that I was called to serve here to be with President Lee. I received so much council and wisdom it really offered some peace that I was desperately seeking. And he is just so loving, honestly he's just about the most Christlike man I have ever met. On our way home we took the car to the shop and then I rested and sister clay did a little packing. In the evening I stayed with Sister Webster and sister clay went with Lindsay to teach a few lessons. Sister Webster and I had a nice visit and I helped her decide to put up an aquarium, haha. Nice to be needed. 

   Wednesday was zone conference but I didn't go, instead I spent the day with the Duling's. I love them! They are a cute homeschooling family and I felt right at home. :) I taught them a paper picture game and they loved it. We really had so much fun it was great! Then we rested in the evening, watched some of the district. 

   Thursday I was with Sister Armstrong because our companions were at the temple. It was a nice day, I slept for a few hours and we took a walk. We invited and few dozen people to general conference and did and little weekly planning. We watched the testaments and a member brought us pizza for dinner. I felt really blessed and strengthen to get out and work Friday! 

   Friday we went to subway for lunch with the Holmes' and then came home and Sister Clay finished off My Plan and then we finished weekly planning. I rested for a bit in between, and a member brought us dinner from Panera it was nice and included cookies! Yum. Then we went out with the Nhiev's (Bishop and his wife) and tried a few people. We ended up visiting a cute LA family and inviting them at conference. I was pretty exhausted so it was nice come home, before bed we had transfer call. Dum, dum, da! I am staying in Normandy and Sister Tryon is coming from Fleming Island to be my companion. I am very excited it is going to be amazing! There were a lot of changes, but I felt in my heart they were inspired. And now it's official sister clay in going home. I think she ready and pretty excited so that's good.

   Saturday was GREAT! I was out and about the whole day! The first session of conference was beautiful. President Nelson gave such a great talk. It was so neat and it made me decide to memorize The Living Christ before next conference. (: in between sessions we had an ice cream social and had invited many, many people sadly we didn't have that great a turn out. I was a little bummed but that's okay. The Duling's came and I think it's official they've adopted me. Haha. The second session was also sister Good! I learned so much. Afterwards we signed transfer journals and flags and then the bishops invited us sisters to stay for dinner before the priesthood session. It was nice and a neat experience. It is very, very different than how sisters get together lol. I also felt very inspired to do some family history so I took a little time wrote a memory about Grandipops, I always published it for anyone who would like to read it. :) 

   Sunday was a peaceful and spiritually uplifting, I was moved. I especially loved President Monson talk, truly the Book of Mormon is so important and if you're not reading it every day it's time to get started! I am going to be starting it over today and I invite all of y'all to start with me. As we go along I'll share a favorite scripture each week and I promise you, you will be blessed. Those who are struggling with their children, you will be find the answers, help and council you need. Those struggling with trial or affliction or heartache, you will find the peace the gospel offers. Those whose faith may be wavering or may feel lost you will find the truth again and your testimony will grow. I promise each of you that the blessings from following the council of our dear beloved Prophet will go far beyond anything we can comprehend. So just try IT! What have you got to loose? 

I love you all. I love our Prophet I know he is called of God to lead his people. I know that if we will heed to the voice of our priesthood leaders we will be blessed. There is so much joy in the gospel! I love being a missionary and I love being given this time to serve the Lord with all my heart, might, mind and strength. I pray for you always and I hope you have a blessed week!

all my love, Sister Bryans
