"We're not going, we're going with the Mormons"

Hello All!!!
GUESS WHO CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY!
Amanda, Alexa, Ally, and Abby(you can count Emma too, but it wasn't her decision, she goes where Mom carries her lol)

We had an incredible week chock FULL of sighting of God's Hand.

real quick-like:
-Zone Conference of lessons, the spirit, and ways to improve
-EXCHANGES(we had an amazing lesson with Amanda which was when she committed to come to church and to pray specifically about certain things)
-POWERFUL lesson with Amanda AND Brad(who was previously not interested). he now has a a bunch of questions, is reading the book of Mormon and he and Amanda are both preparing to be baptized on January 8th!!!
-wonderfully sweet lesson with Joy whom I already love so much and is so eager to learn more about the Father she doesn't know
-Interviews with President and Sister Jackman, boy they are so smart
-Amanda wasn't going to come to Church, but then she realized that she had prayed the night before to receive an answer of some sort at church and she cant get the answer there if she doesn't go, so they all came and are coming back next week. During sacrament meeting, she kept looking over when she heard something she felt was meant for her. It was a lot. :) god loves us.

Basically, our Father in Heaven knows and loves us each individually, personally, and powerfully. Do yourself a favor, open your eyes to the part He plays in your life each day. you'll be amazed.

"we don't want to break into our car..."

Hi Friends! So, I'll start with the funny story. on Thursday we had to go back the apartment to grab a Book of Mormon Lelani had given us to write our testimonies in and as we were leaving, I locked the handle, like we always do and closed the door. Sister Jensen looked at me and asked if I had a key to the apartment, which I had the spare in my bag. Turns out she meant the car key, which was attached to the apartment key, which had been left inside. and my copy of the apartment key, along with our phone, etc were all locked in the car. We tried to card the door, but unluckily, our apartment isn't very easy to break into haha. So we prayed(which is where the quote comes from, Sister Jensen couldn't keep it together after that) WE called the sisters we live with on our neighbors phone after calling the mission office to get the number, left a voicemail, and walked to our appointment. I'd left my coat in the car too, so it got cold pretty quick, but after seeing Jean...

"I will go, I will do, the things THE LORD COMMANDS!!"

Hi Friends! So Mission time is so totally warped. The days feel super long and the weeks seem to go by quick-ish, but come Pday I feel like I have no memory of anything that happened that week. And every day ends in a similar way so I have no way of knowing what day it is. Basically my perception of time passing no longer works. It's cool. We had a Trunk-or-Treat on Wednesday and there was this family all dressed up as Harry Potter characters (Carson, you woulda LOVED it) I took a picture but it's kinda blurry. the mom was Professor Trelawny(sp?), the dad was Professor Snape, and then they had Hermione, Harry, Ron, and their little girl was Dobby. Margaret is doing super well. We still don't know if she's moving out or no, so that's concerning, especially as we get closer o her baptismal date, but she's super diligent and is being a member missionary before she is even a member. She reads the Book of Mormon to her mom and is t...

"the road's that way"

Hi Friends! It has been one heck of a week. Goodbyes, packing, transfers, new area(and companion and roommates and routine),service, walking, and missionary work interspersed with all of that, we'll see what I can put into coherent thought. My new companion is Sister Jensen. She's been out just over 6 months (and I hit 5 tomorrow!) and has been in Ephrata fro 6 weeks or so. We're both still pretty new, but we've got a good feeling about this transfer and we're gonna learn a lot and work hard. I'm excited. We live with another set of Sisters which has been a little more of an adjustment, to go from spending 4 1/2 months living with one person to living with 3 who already have a groove that now I have to fit into. But they are all wonderful people and we've had some fun in these last 4 1/2 days. I'm going to learn a lot here and its exciting to see how Heavenly Fathers hand was involved in all of this. I know I'm supposed to be here in Ephrata and ...
