Hi people who are already wearing flip flops!

Sounds like you all had a less crazy week! I got all of the pictures of the funeral! Had a little cry, but I am glad I was here. It looks like the program was so good. And so fun for all of Grandmas kids to be together! How many years has it been since that??

Thanks mom for the picture of baby Weber! So precious! That was a bit of a tear dropper too! I miss my kiddos! They are way too big! So exciting though!

This week was so good, I honestly can not believe it is Monday already!

 

Thursday we drove to Utica and Friday we had MLC (mission leadership council, with the 5 sets of zone leaders and 6 sets of sister training leaders). The drive down was painful- mainly because i was the smallest so i had to sit front middle in the truck the WHOLE 4 HOURS! My back hurt soooo bad that night! It wouldn't have taken so long to go down there but it was COMPLETE WHITE OUT conditions. SO SCARY!! It was horrible. But MLC was awesome! President and the assistants introduced a new method of teaching that our mission is going to be testing. It is really different and is going to take a lot of figuring out how to fit it in, but its really cool and i think it will be so effective! Basically it is just a way to not just allow the opportunity for the investigators to feel the spirit, but for them to have experiences (4 specific ones) that they will for sure feel the spirit during. Its pretty rad! Right now, just the people that were at MLC are trying to implement it, and then in April President is going to introduce it to the rest of the mission! So we have been studying up on this and role playing and trying to figure it out because it is way different, and kind of hard! It involves being very bold, and there are certain things that you have to hit on in the lessons. It still follows PMG and uses the pamplets, just differently. But ya, it's cool!

We have some rad investigators right now! Theres a couple, named Nells and Jo, that are so solid. They are totally going to get baptized. and married. (<-reverse that). We had the most amazing lesson with them on Saturday though. Like probably in the top 5 most spirit led lessons so far on my mission. We taught the plan of Salvation and it was amazing. I can't even describe it. All four of us were in tears at one point because the spirit was so strong. It was cool.

And funny thing, when we got there, Nells asked us if we were angels. He honestly thought we were, because he never saw our car, and like 2 minutes after we left last time we just "disapeared" and so he thought we just went back to heaven.... how funny? We showed him our car afterward.

Oh guess what? I drove! only for a couple hours though. first time in 6 months! It was fun ;) Sister Langford forgot her Tiwi card and we had to take another car up to Messina, so Elder Barlow gave me a tiwi card and told me I was driving! cool :)

Oh! Funniest thing ever! So when we went down to Utica, one of the sisters needed something at the mall, so we GOT TO GO TO REAL STORES (p.s. you might want to check my account mommy). It was so funny though, there were four sisters and the two elders, and the elders said, "you have a half hour" and we were in H&M just going crazy for 30 minutes! it was so great :) The elders were making fun of us so bad though, they said we were all in a daze and that they were like trying to talk to us but we were so focussed on shopping! so funny. Thats what happens when you haven't been shopping in 6 months... longer for some of the other sisters! :)

Ok, so for this month, I am studying Faith and Hope, for my Christlike attributes. So i would like a 2 page write up from everyone on these two Christlike attributes- much appreciated! jk, but I love hearing all of your insights and thoughts on the things you are studying! Keep sending them!

Have a fantastic week everyone :)
Dont slip on the ice, or fall down any stairs (it hurts!)

I love you!!
