| Mad 4 District Meeting |
Dear Family & Friends,
WOW. That's a lot of love, dear
mother Haha yeah I was the STL of Sister Cook who was two months older than
me...WHAT NOW! And I think there's someone else, but I don't remember their name.
We had interviews with Prez and it
turns out...WE ARE STILL TOGETHER FOR THE NEXT WEEK AND A 1/2!!! You know what
that means...CAR STILL!!!!! Which has been great because the weather has been
100 degrees plus humidity the past couple days. Luckily today was better, but
the Lord is so merciful!
Yay Brittany! I'm glad you saw her and can't wait to catch
up with her! I just scheduled with President to have my departing
interview on Sunday to discuss goals and I just KNOW that will talk to me about
my plans for marriage...I should probably start making some in that department.
Ugh. I just want to finish my mission focused! I'll also be speaking with the
other two trio-mates in sacrament meeting so at least I'll have that focus
:) YAY! Nothing like 2 talks to prepare for! It will be EPIC! Speaking of
Epic, we totally have to visit Epic when you come...It's a place that EVERYONE
in the ward and their brother works at and to be honest, I don't really know
the point of it, but it is a geek's paradise! I would know...Each building has
a theme like Indiana Jones or Star Wars and they have this huge slide people
take to get to their meetings. It is tight! One of the Part member families in
Mad 4 Ward took us on a tour of just a tiny corner of one of the buildings. Being
me, I wanted to see the Lord of the Rings building and lo and behold, what do
my wondering eyes should appear but...

Sadly, Lun Cheng sort of dropped us
:( He is just getting frustrated and needs some time. He also doesn't like how
our church claims to be the only true one. We think he might have been reading
some anti.
Sunday was a day I will never forget!
I knew it always gets darkest before the dawn, but I didn't know how bright the
dawn could be! After visiting the Keyes family (whose father is not a member
and the Gabriel the mother and her 5 boys are less active), she came to
church!! She followed us because she wasn't sure where it was and sadly her
husband couldn't go this time, but it was such a wonderful experience to see
them stay for all three meetings. She knew Ishmael already, so it was so cool
to see him be that good example and bless the sacrament. Sister Thurston
fellowshipped her for the rest of church and the boys went to primary. We are meeting
with the whole family later this week for a lesson!
It was funny, we didn't schedule
lunch, because we just had too much stuff we needed to get done and we were
like: THE LORD WILL PROVIDE! And lo and behold he did after sacrament Sister
Feriante gave us a giant bowl of Welsh cakes and some other members fed us
pizza...all unaware of our lack of lunch. The Lord truly does watch over His
missionaries!

Tim finally came to church as well!!
Debra Hawkes and her family, Coley, Latoya, and Sarah also came! It was
exciting to see so many people embrace the gospel and partake of the sacrament!
After showing this cool DVD of
converts-turned-missionaries that the ZL's wanted us to show to members to a
couple families in the ward, it was amazing to see how many names and
revelation about missionary work came to their minds. I love the impact it is
making on members. We've been thinking of bringing up our ward doing a
"Visitor Sunday" like the 4th ward.
Also, I am worried about how best to
help Sister Woods transition into buses, seeing as we have been so busy using a
car and I think she is worried about it too. We were thinking of doing a dry
run of all of the main places, but were wondering if you had any other advice?
Thanks for everything and always
having confidence in me performing my duty of fulfilling what the Lord needs me
to do, especially when my confidence seems to lack. I love you all more than I
love geeking out over Doctor Who!
