20 scoops of Ben and Jerry's ice cream - THE VERMONSTER

Memorial - June 2, 2014

My heart is full. I feel like Nephi when he testifies to his brothers that the Lord is mightier than the earth, then why not mightier than the adversary? He gives us strength to go forward and DO his work! I believe the glass half full attitude Nephi had was due to a full heart, a heart of gratitude for recognizing the hand of the Lord. That carried him throughout his life; he successfully endured to the end. Also, Nephi had an open mind. If we have an optimistic outlook, then the Lord can use us as HIS tool. He cannot work through an already decided mind. If you decide that the person at the door you are knocking will not accept the Gospel, then sure enough they won't. Your faith begins in the small thoughts that run across your mind. It all starts in the mind, and the mind is SO powerful! If we focus on gratitude, and are seeing the hand of the Lord constantly, like Nephi, you fulfill your baptismal covenant (coupled with keeping the commandments) and you are PROMISED THE SPIRIT TO BE WITH YOU.

Interesting: the Hebrew translation of endure means to become anointed. Ponder it. It gives me goosebumps!

I'm always in AWE when I finish the Book of Mormon. Words cannot describe the feelings I had as I closed the book. I cannot describe how strong the spirit was. I want all of you to feel the way I did, and DO feel. My heart is full. Please, read. I am grounded in this Gospel and cannot move. 

Another thing about the Book of Mormon that I love is the dying testimonies of men who have ENDURED, and the things they write to their posterity (that they might know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins, and might I add, HOPE). Mormon to Moroni was about HOPE. Alma to his sons was about their purpose. Nephi to his posterity was about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the straight and narrow gait. I hope to be able to live like they do, continually PRESSING (exerting effort against an opposing force) forward, FEASTING upon the words of Christ.

When I say my heart is full, a funny thing happens, the depth of my heart extends to make space for more joy, more love, more faith, meekness, temperance, goodness... the fruits of the spirit. 

Last Monday we ended up getting 12 people up to the Joseph Smith Memorial:

From left to right: JoAnne, Sister Rufty, Brother Young, Sister Young, Sean, Gene (RC from the elders), US! Bottom row is the Estes family (a PMF we are teaching and seeing some miracles happen).

We had someone come and speak to our mission at the leadership meeting, and hearing what he said from others was amazing and has helped me to realize why our mission is the way it is: THIS IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF THE RESTORATION. JOSEPH SMITH'S ANCESTORS WERE HERE, AND MANY PEOPLE IN OUR MISSION ARE RELATED TO JOSEPH SMITH. Satan works HARD against these 7th generation New Englanders because they are related to him! They will come to know of the Gospel, and it is by us that they will know.

Sean, how I worry!! We'll see how everything goes this week... but he's gotta be keeping all the commandments with a repentant heart by this Sunday or we'll have to move his date, which he does NOT want to do. I will not baptize someone if they are not ready, I will NOT do that.

We wrote out 7 miracles we wanted to happen this week. For Kathy and Karen, our nonreligious neighbors, we asked if THEY COULD ASK US TO TEACH THEM. Our part was to keep every other day contact with them. Sure enough, Kathy comes down and tells us all about this book she is reading about some crazy pack between Lincoln and Joseph Smith. The author was well researched, she knew all the "mormon" terms! She had great questions! She asked that when she was done if we could come over and answer them! The Lord is workin' beside us, as He always has.

Another miracle we've been working for is with the Jefford family - that they would have a significant missionary experience. They're the only family in our boundaries that is active, so you bet we've been working with them! We've taught two FHE and played a ton of missionary games, real played, and studied PMG. Sunday Sister Jeffords came up to us and told us that they have found a FAMILY FOR US TO TEACH!!! Our commitment to them was just to invite someone over to their house for dinner within a month, with or without us. Sure enough, they kept their commitment and the Lord placed a family in their paths! They're going to have them over for dinner then have us over. Hopefully it goes well, if not, you probably won't be hearing about it ha!

Gigi's lesson was sweet this week... We were bold. I asked her (after teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and her saying that she'd already been baptized....) if she was 100% THAT HER BAPTISM WAS VALID. She hesitated and said no, then she caught herself and tried to save what she had already said. She is not going to get on her knees and PRAY to know if the Book of Mormon is true (which she already says is, what's holding her from baptism? We'll find out...) and then to be baptized. Hopefully a miracle will happen there, I'm expecting one. 

Side note, I am lost without weekly planning. We haven't had time to really plan this week and I feel like I am running around with my head chopped off. No more of this. 

DO IT UNTIL IT'S DONE. WORK UNTIL YOU CAN'T WALK. RUN RUN RUN!!!

We saw the baptism of a family this week. So sacred. So wonderful. They had me give one of the talks and I couldn't contain the Spirit I felt. It was carrying me like never before!

YOUSHOULDR​EALLYREADT​HEBOOKOFMO​RMON - May 19, 2014

I am exhausted. I don't know how I keep moving with the energy I do. I have excitement and passion, still. It's the Lord. Truly, He is the one keeping me going..

Faith is the moving cause of all action. I learned about desire. We can say, "I wish I could play the piano like you." But do we really? Do we really have faith that miracles can happen on missions? If you really wished to play the piano you'd learn it. You would practice, and lead up to your goals.

What happens when we combine with the powers of heaven to accomplish our goals? How do we do this?

Reflecting upon the scripture in D&C 4 to serve the Lord with ALL your heart, might, mind, and strength, I wondered why He said each of those, and nothing more, or less.

I left my notes at home so bear with me! ... I don't feel like it's coming together. This is just a lesson to me that I have to internalize things before I try to write about them, or teach them to someone. Ha!

We had Elder Perkins of the Seventy come and speak to us at stake conference. He pulled an amazing scripture on us, a revelation for our day! Moses 7:62. He tore it apart. He chastised the members with so much love, I was amazed. He told them "the brethren say that the members JUST AREN'T GETTING IT!" He went OFF about how this is the hastening of the work, so lefts hasten. Don't just "come and see, come and BE."

We were in need of a few miracles this week. We fasted for Patty to have real intent while reading the Book of Mormon. We took Sister Stoker with us and had an absolutely POWERFUL lesson. She is changed. What used to be taking the lessons because of her ignorance, became a real desire to know for herself what truth is. She opened up about how she thinks her religion has been corrupt for the past 60 years, and that people believe in what Holland calls, "a comfortable Jesus." She believe there is ONE way, in an absolute truth. ONE LORD, ONE BAPTISM. She was totally denouncing her religion by the end of that, which was neat because she saw truth in the Book of Mormon. She was teary when we read through 3 Nephi. HOW can you deny the Spirit that is in that book!? YOU CANNOT. When we use the Book of Mormon how it is meant to be used, with power, the Lord WILL NOT fail us. He does not forsake us when we throw everything on the line (even when it seems like we have been forsaken). There is purpose behind what we do, and how we use the Book of Mormon.

My testimony of the Book of Mormon is so set there is not a word to describe its permanence. IT IS TRUE AND I CANNOT DENY THAT. When others feel that, they can't either. It has power and power is what I have seen this week. I have seen power from heaven, poured upon those we come in contact with. Whether you consider Patty's intents changing a miracle or not, a mighty miracle has taken place. She IS ASKING GOD. She HAS been prepared. There are events that she told us that lead up to us teaching her. This is not the end of Patty's journey through the Restoration. She is taking a class through her church to become a better missionary, she asked us HOW WE DO IT. How we can do this at such a young age and do it well! The only answer is the Spirit. We cited our authority. There is no other way the Gospel could move forward without the help of God. We do not do this alone. The work goes forth as A STONE CUT WITHOUT HANDS, meaning that the Lord is able to do His own work. She's going into her class with questions and is asking the Lord for help. She is connecting with Him through prayer, and I have no doubt that the Lord will continue to work on her. She agreed to read the Book of Mormon and pray about it, with real intent. Moroni's given us the promise, we just have to do it!

A few weeks back, Elder Sowby and Elder Warned were dropped by a lady who was ready to be baptized, so prepared for the Gospel. She received a lot of anti and felt like she'd been blind-sighted due to the history of the church. We walked over there yesterday and talked to her. Praying that she'd even let us in. Oh she let us in, and the Lord answered our pleading prayers as the Spirit spoke through us and penetrated her heart. A miracle happened. She told us to tell the elders to call her today. This is what happens when the powers of heaven guide you! We walked over to the elders apartment to tell them what had just happened and to call her and set up an appointment. Their faces were the best part of my week. Gratitude from the insides of their SOUL came flooding through them. They love the people they teach, and you could tell just by their reaction. Great moment. When they were in a trio, the lady called them her "three wise men." TOO CUTE.

Sean is doing great. He actually expressed something that came to his mind during stake conference that was an answer to our prayers! He is looking into a different job. We'll see how far this goes, I REALLY HOPE it goes through. He's praying more. He's reading so much he sounds like he's been a member of the church for a little while! He has owned gospel vocabulary. I love when that happens.

Stake conference was one of the greatest moments, I got to meet up with all the members from Hanover and THAT WAS SUCH A BLESSING. To see them and feel their love was priceless. My heart is so full.

To all of you, if you do not read from the Book of Mormon daily you are MISSING OUT ON GODLY KNOWLEDGE. If you want to be as He is, it would be wise to start reading from it's pages daily. Helaman 15:7 When you read the scriptures you are lead to faith and repentance. If you are stuck where you are, read, you will progress. I promise.

Keep smiling!

Love,
Sister Morgan

Lunch with Sister Stoker, Skidmore, and Pettingill

Seeing Ab and Megan again... Almost in tears. How I love these two! Crazy that Ab has already done a year of college and is heading out on a mission... I got to Hanvoer when she graduated high school. Freaks me out!

We fixed my hair... TERRIFYING.

RUN RUN RUN - May 12, 2014

A mission is such a short time, with immense amount of growth occurring in the lives of each missionary. I only hope to progress like this the rest of my life. I know that when we serve with a willing heart, our souls are enlarged. Our hearts open to feel more. I have seen Satan work - his tactic is to stop the person from feeling. Feeling love, hope, and peace are all gifts that come from God. They call them the "fruits of the Spirit." When we serve the Lord, the gateway to these feelings opens. I believe that's why God knows everything, because He feels everything. He knows joy, because He knows pain and bitterness. I believe the hardest and most painful experiences our Father in Heaven had were the rebellion prior to the existence of earth, and when He allowed justice to suffer upon Christ. He knows the joy that comes when we overcome the world. How neat that He has given every soul a set of commandments, and a Gospel, that insures happiness eternally. A wise man once said, "blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." To become like the Savior, which we are commanded to do, we must exert mercy. The beatitudes are characteristics of celestial beings. They are our potential. I am grateful for a path home. I am grateful that the dark, heavy veil is becoming sheer. The brother of Jared saw Christ because of his faith, I wonder if we had faith like that if we'd be able to see all that the Lord is doing here on earth. When the veil is removed from our eyes, we will be shocked to see how the hand of the Lord was working in every part of our lives.

I learned interesting doctrine this morning while reading Ether 2 and 3. If you notice, the Lord answers the first question the BOJ (Brother of Jared) asked about the air in the barges, then the Lord answers him. He then asks what the Lord would have him do about the light in the barges. The Lord responds with a question. I give it as my opinion that the BOJ was prompted to refer to the scriptures. In Genesis 6:16, footnote a, we have the answer. The Lord didn't give him an answer because He had already answered the question when Noah was building the ark. If we ask the lord a question, and get more questions as a result, we should then turn to the scriptures with that question. That is a pattern in the scriptures. Joseph Smith used that same pattern! How interconnected prayer and scriptures are! 

Another interesting thing is how did Christ show the BOJ His finger if this was prior to His birth? In Either 3:6 it says "LIKE unto flesh and blood." Our Spirits look like our bodies. 

Also notice, the light Christ's touch brings to the stones. Whatever Jesus lays His hands upon LIVES. Becomes LIGHT. Truly He is the LIGHT of the world!

Back to missionary work... GOOD WEEK.

I can't remember if I told y'all about that time we prayed for a miracle to happen at Patty's lesson, then he landscaper was outside. Well, we got talking with him... gave him our number. He gave us his, with hesitance. We called him this last week... while talking on the phone I wondered how we would invite ourselves over to give him a lesson. As soon as I prayed for guidance, Sean said, "I talked to my wife about you two. We're open to this whole Mormon thing. We were wondering when you could come over so we could learn more."

MY JAW DROPPED. I flipped open my planner and we made an appointment for this Tuesday at 4. Hoping for the best. Wondering if he is the reason why were are teaching Patty! Only sad part is, he isn't in our area.... BUT WE GOT PERMISSION TO TEACH HIM.

The assistant's potential investigator wanted us to teach her. So now we are! Her name is Leah!!! We were at the store and she told us she wants us to come teach her... AWESOME.

We were contacting a less active and a man named Jose answered the door. We asked him a lot of questions about his relationship with God. We have a return appointment and hope to see him tonight. 

NO BIGGIE. SEAN IS GETTING BAPTIZED ON JUNE 22, 2014. Mark it on your calenders. We showed him all we had to teach him still, and agreed to meet three times a week to prepare him for baptism. We've got a lot to do!

So things are picking up a LOT! Our schedules are packed this week with service and appointments. Crazy, because we've been drowning trying to find people to teach!

Sister Collins are I are tight like a good pair of jeans. I adore her. She is growing so much. it's so fun to be on this side, to see her confidence grow as I sort-of force her to taking the lead in things! She has risen to the call and is RUNNING! WHOOHOO!!!

JoAnne is doing GREAT in temple prep. I get jittery every time I think that we'll be able to take her through the Boston temple!!

Tryin'a think what else happened this week... So much happens it's hard to write it down, then when I get to the computer my mind erases the memories!

MOTHER'S DAY. Yes. That was yesterday. We walked to Skype in the burning sun (not excited for summer, can we just stay in spring or fall??), then went to dinner with Ruth and the Keplinger's and gave Ruth some new member lessons! 

We taught Ruth about MIRACLES the other week, and how to expect them. We gave her a little Target journal ($1, I LOVE HAVING A TARGET IN MY AREA) and told her to write down things she is grateful for before she goes to bed. I adore that woman!

A little note about miracles: they are a form of WORK. Just like faith is work, prayer is work, and miracles are definitely WORK. Do we ever stop working...? That term "I'll sleep when I'm dead" is false. We will always be laboring. THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED LABORING IN THE VINEYARD. IT IS LABOR - EXHAUSTING, SWEATY, HARD LABOR. "Run! Run! Run!" as mom always says!

I got a heinous haircut this morning and kinda look like I have a mullet... 

Aight. I think that's it... Love y'all! WRITE ME PLEASE! 

This happened today!

Robots - May 5, 2014

THOUGHTS:

Some weeks I just can't help but turn heavenward and ask God why there are so many wicked people in Manchester.

I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon. Whatever questions I come up with and try to muscle through, I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ simply because of the Book of Mormon.

Make it a goal to remove yourself from conversation, action, and even thought, and you will learn how to REALLY serve.

This isn't about me at all.

If you want specific answers to your prayers, you need to be specific. 

We are moving apartments, hopefully. Sister Collins and I CANNOT take the abuse next door. Sunday we walked over to one of the members to study, for the first time in months I could hear myself think. Just goes to show that the Spirit can work through you, not always your environment. A home must be a "safe haven from the world."

On a more positive note: MARIA AND KAITANA ARE GETTING BAPTIZED IN HANOVER. If any of you remember Maria, she was the cute Irish woman, DEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP Catholic upbringing. I've never met anyone who has showed her love for people more than Maria. I am so happy for her. So happy that Sister Turley gets to see people being baptized!!

Speaking of baptism...... SEAN HAS AGREED TO BE BAPTIZED. SEAN. We have permission from President Stoker to go through with it, he doesn't have to quit his job. We drew a triangle with us, him and Heavenly Father on each of the points. We circled the connection between Him and God and told him that this is what everything is all about - building the connection between him and his Father in Heaven. We're still working on a specific date, but we are SO EXCITED.

Hopefully this week we'll have time to get around to the potential pool we've gathered. We may have some exciting news next week!!

Study revelation:

I've read Alma 7:13 probably around 500 times. NEVER BEFORE had I caught the doctrine in the beginning of the chapter! The SPIRIT could have told Christ all that we go through, but He experienced it IN THE FLESH. It's the difference between knowing what a person is experiencing during a heart attack and knowing the symptoms verses actually having the heart attack. It is necessary for Him to have experienced what He did, if not justice would have a hold on all of us. My mind wrapped around the Atonement in a different way.

TEAR OF JOY

EARS OF JOY. LITERALLY TWO MINUTES AGO SISTER KORMAN (WHO IS NEXT TO ME BECAUSE OUR COMPANIONS ARE AT THE TEMPLE TOGETHER) JUST OPENED AN EMAIL FROM KAITANA SAYING THAT SHE IS GETTING BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just embraces each other with tears of JOY. May 24th Kaitana (Hanover, Dartmouth student, my USU roommate's BEST FRIEND) will be baptized in Utah. The Lord answers prayers of all kinds, just in His timing.

Two of my FAVORITE parts of the day: studies in the morning, and prayer in the evening. I know I say this every week, but I am growing in my knowledge of the Gospel more than ever. Heavenly Father has a LOT He wants me to know. This week was indeed a sacred, and special week.

Monday night we went over to the mission home to spend the night for the meeting the following day. President and I talked for an hour then he gave me a blessing. Surely, I will remember this for the rest of my life. The direction, counsel, and comfort given was from Heavenly Father through the mouth of a loving mission president.

We followed the Stokers from meeting to meeting throughout the week and were spiritually FED.

Some snipits of knowledge I gained this week through studies and meetings:

Elijah and Moses were transfigured because they needed bodies to pass on the keys to the Apostles in the Mount of Transfiguration

Spirituality is victory over self

Mercy allows us to progress

Love is action, not emotion

I am becoming the kind of person who could raise sons like the 2,000 warriors

Happiness is a state of being, not just spurs of feeling

To be happy, we must seek the will of the Father

You should be working when you are praying, LABOR, CRY

Using your spiritual gifts brings satisfaction and happiness

The Gospel is the way to use the most of our time on earth

Givers receive more happiness than he receiver

Giving and living the Gospel makes you feel ALIVE

Revelation comes in small and simple ways, you are LEAD to the water and can choose to drink it - the Lord makes us learn something

Applying the Atonement means we are PULLING weight WITH the Lord, we pull equally. "YOKED."

If anything I have learned that when you serve, you are completely alive. You are in the realest of realities, if that makes sense. You are living this life to its fullest capacity, the way it was designed to be, when you are giving and living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I went through my college spiritual journal for the first time and found GOLD. Here's some of the stuff I found in it:

Courage is the conquering of fear. Love is the conquering of selfishness.

Acknowledgement--> Admiration --> Adoration --> EMULATION of Christ. We will know Him because we will be like Him.

Today I read 3 Nephi 27:10-the end. Some thoughts: Christ wants us to emulate Him, in fact, He is commanding us to sanctify ourselves that we may be even as He is! Repentance is the way to shoot us forward in progression. We must EMULATE. The ability to become like He is is through earnest prayer and diligently carrying out His plans. It is to treat others with LOVE. 

Sean finished the Book of Mormon. He is making baby steps towards prayer. He doesn't come from a Christian background and the concept that God has a body is hard for him to grasp. He really has a hard time praying! We drew a triangle with him, us, and God and explained that this is all about his connection with God, we can help him there. He saw Gene's baptism and wanted to know what he was thinking while it was happening. He wants to know what he's getting into, naturally! He's making steps. We gave him a date of May 31st to work towards!! Never in my life did I imagine myself teaching a drag queen who is totally prepared. He knows this is God and is working towards him. Funny thing is his countenance has totally and completely changed. He is brighter, physically BRIGHTER. We see the fruits of repentance working and it is wonderful. 

In our little proselyting time we did some finding and went back to some of the homes Sister Turley and I had tracted into. One FAMILY agreed that we could come and teach a lesson and that they were "open to change." I'm stoked. 

What else happened.......

A LOT.

Shannon Gish from COLORADO WILLOW CREEK WARD came and spoke to us at the sisters conference, that was crazy small worldy.

Most all of our finding has gone to the elders, we are having a hard time finding those that LIVE IN OUR AREA. No one we teach lives in it... three active members are in our boundaries. We will continue though. 

Sister Collins is at the temple today. She's DARLING. Really is coming into her own shoes realizing what works for her and what doesn't. She's so amazing. Seriously I have a pretrained missionary!!!

 The Young's and Sean!!

We got to be together when we found out about Kaitana :)

​JSM with the Bedford sisters!!

KNEEL

Scripture memorization for every day last week:

Matt26:39

Isaiah 53:3-5

Alma 7:11-12

D&C 19:16-19

Hymn #193

Alma 5:14

Matt 28:1-6

This week we're memorizing most of 3 Nephi 11. I can't wait.

One word to describe this week: solitary. Also maybe a little slow...

WHEN WE FORGET ABOUT OURSELVES OUR SOUL IS ENLARGED. Epiphany. Let that be my Psalm of the week.

Sister Collins and I really do GREAT together. She had to opportunity to go on exchanges and just SHINED. Those missionaries fresh out of the MTC know just what they're doing. They are a blessing to their trainers. They each receive a LOT of revelation for their areas and it's the trainers job to direct it and make it happen! We did many "small and simple things" trying to further the work of the Lord. I love Sister Collins. She is just what I need right now, and her support is invaluable. We overcome similar things, and need each other to continue to do so.

Sometimes you have to do the right thing and hand people over to the elders. We are handing Kalisa over, which will hopefully help him progress towards his date. the members we take agree with us that that's probably the best thing to do.

PATTY she's got a closet full of questions to take to her priest this week. Wish us luck. The pre-existence took her for a spin! She's reading the Book of Mormon though, we just gotta get her praying to know if it's true with real intent. Toughie. Miracles can happen! I've seen them plenty of times!

SEAN: he's PLOWING through the Book of Mormon. We got the clearance from President to go ahead and set a date with him. This Friday is hopefully the lesson we'll be able to do that in. He's already almost through Alma - he started last Sunday. 

I read 3 Nephi 19 yesterday and again this morning. I am humbled every time I read it. Christ directs everything to the Father. EVERYTHING. He commands the multitude to KNEEL. While reading I couldn't help but think again, how important is it that we kneel when we pray? It's a sign of humility. You are closing off from the world and are opening your heart and mind to Him. The position of prayer itself is releasing yourself from the heart. Truly, this is a work of heart. How grateful I am for the ability to show others my love, especially Heavenly Father. My relationship with Him never ceases to grow. The Holy Ghost is the greatest gift, it is what the people MOST DESIRED to have when Christ came. Think of the comfort John 14 should have brought the Apostles.

Exchanges with Sister Korman, that was maybe one of the best days of my mission!! We had SO MUCH to catch up on. We laid in bed talking for the longest time. The elders got in the car for service and we couldn't stop. There was SO MUCH. What was maybe the most wonderful part of the exchange was teaching JoAnne with her. I forget the incredible unity and power we had when we taught together. I've taught well with my other companions, but it was nothing like this. We both agreed that our two transfers together were some of the most powerful ones on our missions. It reminded me of what I want to happen in all companionships. We are deeply connected life-long friends who understand each other. It was humbling to be with her for her last transfer on the mission. We did a LOT of reflecting. She's an incredible missionary. She just looks exhausted and I love it! I love her and am so grateful for the impact she's made in my life. You really do grow to love your companions SO MUCH. It's fun to see her progress. We talked again about the realization we both had of confidence. She shared with me something wonderful about myself, she said "you compliment others and your confidence builds in yourself. You can't help but be confident because you build everyone up around you." We helped each other identify strengths that maybe we didn't say beforehand. Oh how much I adore her. She's headed to Hanover for exchanges with Sister Turley on Tuesday!

The exterminator took care of our bedbugs :) we were walking back to our apartment and it was like walking into hell with the heaters blowing and papers flying and the loud noise. It was 130 degrees in there. The bedbugs had been there long before I got to the area - NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR. 

Did I mention JoAnne is starting the temple prep class this Sunday so she can go with Sister Turley and I for her endowments?!?!?

I wish you could all know President Stoker. A while back I prayed that we would have a closer relationship, then I got transferred to Manchester. He's always there whenever you need him. We get to spend the night at the mission home with the other sisters that just came out. STOKED FOR THE STOKERS!

 Ahhg I adore her. She's an answer to many prayers and is JUST what I needed at this time in my mission! The Lord knows us well. 

Easter Sunday! The Spencer's invited us all over for dinner! We had an Easter eggs hunt.

 Sister Korman!! This next week we have meetings EVERY DAY. Tomorrow is new missionary and trainers meeting, Wednesday is sisters conference (where i get to see ALL my favorite companions ALL AT THE SAME TIME), Thursday is zone conference, and Friday we plan. Really, we are not doing missionary work this week and it's WEIRD. We also get to see the Stokers almost every day this week except for Friday.

My favorite photo of Christ coming to the Americas, slapped onto Sister Collins' new scripture box!
