Transfer

Hey! This week has been crazy!!!! I am being transferred to Cypress for the next and  last 7 weeks!! My new companion's name is Sister Oler! I am so exited she is amazing! I am still a Sister Training Leader but just in a different area. Some weird events happened to lead up to me getting transferred for my last transfer. But I'm excited. It felt right. So, regarding my coming home, I got my flight plans this last week. I will be flying in to Pocatello at 11:40 am on Dec. 2nd. Please bring a coat I will be freezing!  It's weird to think that this adventure is almost over! But when one adventure ends another begins. 

            So Katherine came to church last Sunday and stayed the whole time! She also brought her kids, Calvin and Peril.  They are so fun and they all loved church!!! It was sad to say bye to them. But they are in good hands and hopefully Katherine will get baptized on Nov 16. The work is moving on and I am so thankful for the time I had in this area. There has been so much growth that happened in this last 2 months. The Lord has taught me more about how I need to continually rely on him and the blessings of being obedient! I love that we get to learn every day. I love this great work! Thank you for everything you do and will do!

Baptism and Conference

          Hey, conference was super great. we got to see all sessions. the baptism went well. Also the training on obedience. the training gave me a lot of stress I wanted it to go well. but all is well that ends! ( Shon ) 

          I am sad to heir about Margie Carlyle I love her so much she has always been a great example to me! 

          I had no Idea that Kinsey was even dating any one!  I guess that's what happens when you go on a mission.  I realize that Pocatello and home is a different place than how I left it. so ya. This is the last week in this transfer so by Monday we will know who stays and how goes. My guess is that I will be staying put and the other two will go. Sister Pendleton has been in this area for 9 months now. It's crazy to think that I have one more transfer before I'm done. It doesn't seem real. I feel like this is what my life has always consisted of. 

          Hey so I asked about if you would be okay if I came back to California not to soon after I get home what are your thoughts about that? It also depends on when Shayla takes off. But I would love to hear an opinion on this.

          Also I need to register for school soon, I forgot the paper that I had with the classes I was hoping to take so I'll just send it in the mail. also I sent a package home did you get it?

          Thanks for all the love and support! love you!!!

          Also Go See meet the Mormons it's in theaters on the 10th of this month tell all you friends especially the nonmembers! we got to see it early It is sooooooo goood!!!!!!

Eating it up!

          Well Hello!!! Things this week has been going really well here in this neck of the woods! The people we have been blessed to teach are eating up the gospel. Especially the book of Mormon!!! Mark is getting baptized this Sunday the 5th at 5pm! I have never seen a more prepared person in my life! He told us that he feels like he is finally finishing his journey! Mark studies so much on his own, so when we meet with him it's more of a review then anything!

          So this week we had many meetings which were really good! I loved the women's conference. It was so good! One thing I am looking forward to is when I can do more family history work!

          Congratulations to Jaymon!!!!! That is so exciting. This is a choice you will never regret! I know that this is the true gospel of Jesus Christ restored back to the earth at this time through the prophet Joseph Smith! Because of this, we can be with our families together forever, and have the peace to know that as we are obedient to Gods counsel we can return and live with him again!

          So, this up-coming week, the mission's president's wife, Sister Tew, asked Sister Pendleton and me and some other sisters to give trainings (short 10-15 min. lessons with commitments at the end). Mine is on being "Exactly Obedient!" At first I was thinking that my topic was not so fun! This topic has been pounded in to our heads so much that as soon as some hear what the topic is they tune out. But now I am really excited to give it. I have been thinking about it a lot since Friday. I am going to try it at a different view. The process it took to know how to teach this has been one of the best experiences ever. I have been keeping the Lord in the process the whole time because I want them to learn what the Lord wants them to know and apply and not what I want them to know. As I have done this, so much inspiration has come. The main scripture is based on Hymn 270  I will go where you want me to go!

          I am so thankful and blessed that I have all of you in my life, and Shayla now you are truly a squirrel!!! HaHa! ;)

The Miracles of God

I just want to First say I love you!  This week went super well. We have been finding like crazy. This transfer has been full good things! We meet this man named Mark, about a month ago that was interested in knowing about the gospel. But lived in a different ward boundaries, so we had to pass him off. Missionaries were in touch with him here and there but his wife didn't like them coming over at all.  She made one of the Elders cry! So they lost contact for a little bit then two weeks ago he showed up to their church and told them he wanted to get baptized and knew the Book of Mormon is true. Joseph Smith is a true Prophet. He is ready to do whatever it takes to join. He just moved into our ward boundaries so now we get to teach him! He is one amazing person who is hungry for truth! We have been finding many that have the true intent to know. Like this lady Kathren when on exchanges. My companions found her and she is already in the second book of Nephi, in the Book of Mormon. The weeks have been full of miracles and wonder.

Today we got to go to the temple. It just gave more strength. I love the temple so much.

I love you so much. Keep seeking the Lord in all you do and look for a tender mercy each day. This is one great way to build your faith!

The Week Flies By

Hi,

          This week flew by for me as well. The threesome is great and was truly inspired. Sister Redger is so funny.  She finds the humor in every situation. The biggest thing I learned this week is to continue to show Charity to others, to keep a brightness of hope, and keeping the faith strong. The trick is how do you maintain and balance these things? There are small and simple things I can do to maintain these, like seeking faith, hope, charity as I read daily, pray always for help, and listen to the testimonies of others. we were challenged this week to find daily miracles or tender mercies each day. And we have seen them. It has reminded me how much God is aware of us and the love he has for us his children. Like this; everything fell into place even when things canceled on us. My invitation to you this week is to try looking for the tender mercies from the Lord this week and see the love God has for you! I love you all so much!

Marco's Baptism

Hi.

This week was one crazy roller coaster. It seems like the adversary has worked really hard on us this week, so we must be doing something right! A lot of our appointments fell through this week, and the people we have been teaching have been dropping like flies! But despite all that, this week, Marco got baptized on Saturday.  He was someone Sister Young and I taught in Fountain Valley. And I got to go back for the baptism! That was a happy day! Transfers are here and Sister Pendleton and I are still together. We will be in a trio actually.  Sister Redger will be joining us in Whittier. I have served around her a big part of my mission. She has lots of energy that will be fun!!!

I love you all so much.  Keep up the great work over there in the mother land!

Prayers

Hi!  This week has come and gone. 

          Well this week's theme has been prayers. Yesterday we spoke in church and I spoke on prayers and how the Lord answers us. Most of the time it is on his timing and it's sometime not the answer we want. There is a article in August Ensign. There was some cool experiences this week with answers to prayers. 

    1. We were looking for someone to go with us to a lesson and had about tried everyone we could think of then we thought of this sister in the ward so we called her up. When she answered and we told her it was the sisters she started to cry. She just told us that she had just got done praying and asking the Lord if there was something she could do to be more involved in the gospel and the phone rang and it was us. 

    2. We went by this member that hasn't been to church in a long time. She is trying to get back but someone is working really hard to keep her from going. Her husband and kids are not members and the whole world is coming down on her.  We have not been able to go by for the last few week. But finally were able to go by. She told us that when came, it the right moment. She needed us at that second and that it was an answer to her prayer.

    3. So Sister Pendleton had a prayer answered as well it wasn't a big one but still a witness that God loves all of us and is listening. She needed a new journal and in passing asked God if he could provide her with one. We were at a members home and she told us she got us something and it was a journal! At first Sister Pendleton had forgotten about that conversation with Heavenly Father. But at that end remembered that she spoke to him about that. She wasn't expecting to really get a journal -but got one.

          I know that our Heavenly Father listen to our prayers. A cool acronym I learned out here is PUSH pray until something happens. Don't stop praying. He is there and wants to answer you.

           I love you all so much and thanks to all that pray for me it means a lot.
