May 25, 2011


hey there mom!
well i'm going to try to write everyone so my emails might be a little shorter.
 
i'm glad you have decided to repent and be better at your keeping of the sabbath day! haha that's what our mission president calls it when we have some kind of training or meeting. he asks what we are going to do to repent and be better.
 
sounds like a lot of things are going on. that is really funny that the little girl asked if devin was superman! haha so when is girls camp? that's cool that you are talking to them all. you were always good working with the young women. so my companion has "the miracle of forgiveness" and i've been reading it. it's GREAT! really teaches you how gravely important virtue really is. might not be right for the young women though... haha idk maybe.
 
i LOVE reading the scriptures now. i used to think of it like a chore. but now it makes my day so much better and i love studying in the book of mormon. i used to think the scriptures were so complicated but after studying them out, they are a lot easier to understand! haha it's like piano, i've been studying it out and i want to learn when i get back home. i know i could do it.
 
so the work is going great here. we should have a baptism coming up in a week or two. plus we have been getting some great referrals! the Lord truly has been blessing us. we've been trying to work harder, not waste so much time and be obedient. i'm so greatful to be workin with the companion that i have. we invited one of our families in the ward to pray about someone and then invited them to meet with us. just last night we had dinner with them and they had a friend over with her daughter! we taught them and they should be coming to church! another thing that i've learned is that the people i should be talking to are the people placed in my path. like sometimes i fall into the trap of saying, oh we tracted so that was our finding" but really i know that i need to be constantly talking to people in my path. we've been seeing miracles that way finding people interested to talk with us :)
 
i love you tons. i'm doing great. please give a personal hug to both sister flick and sister hill. tell them i miss them.
