Hello All!!!


Hello all :) I sure love you!
 
Well well well. things are going pretty dang good :) I am a happy girl. Thanks for the package mom :) I love you. Grandpas note made me cry, and I about died with Huey's cute little book he made. I had a dream about him last night. Give him a hug for me :)
 
This week we had tons of meetings, one on tues, weds we had interviews, thursday we had district meeting, and friday we had one about internent procelyting. soooo we were real busy.
 
Interviews were good. I love President Cusick :)
 
Um this week was good :) Oh man! I just got the best email from Shannon :) She is doing SO SO SO SO SO SO SO good. I love her. It made me so happy to see how good she's doing.
 
One thing we do every night before prayer while we are planning is to talk about things we were grateful for that day. Man I always have like 20 things even tho it's just supposed to be one. I see more and more how blessed I am each day. Heavenly Father loves us so much. I have no time once again. I'm so sorry.
 
Yesterday was awesome- we found one of the guys we talked to last week . As soon as he saw us, he motioned for us to come over and said "I don't know why, but ever since I saw you girls and you prayed with me, everything has been going SO much better. Things have been different. Can I have one of those books (Book of Mormon)?" It was so neat!! I was so happy that he recognized the Spirit and that he wants to learn more. We are going back to see him this weekend to teach him, then planning to hand him to the missionaries where he lives. Heavenly Father is guiding us to people, I'm loving this area. It's so different, but it's helping me to stretch lots more. I kinda love it even though it's hard :)
 
Well, I love ya'll so so so so much. Sorry I had no time.

Oh Hey, from Tampa Bay!!!


Well hello!!!
 
So, this week was CRAYYYYYY.
I'm with Sister Bush (a total sweetheart from Logan, she's short... she makes me feel tall- its great) and we opened a new area... it's called "Tampa Metro". Basically, as far as we know we are basically contacting missionaries. We (us and the elders) are downtown 90% of the time. Just talkin to everyone. Crazy right? I had been praying to be better at contacting and having courage to open my mouth more and... here we go, Heavenly Father's giving me the opportunity :)
There's a college campus (UT) right close to us, so that's pretty great/ kinda wierd bein on a campus again. but it's cool- we've met lotsa nice people!!
Heavenly Father is putting us in the right places at the right times to find His children. It's super neat to see.
 
Leaving Odessa was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. This area is so different. We're still in the same Stake- so that's comforting :) I'm feelin a little "Odessa-Sick"-Homesick for Odessa. But I know I'm here for a reason, and this is where God want's me to be. It's just hard, change is always hard for me :) It'll be good though!! I'm excited to think of cool ways to talk to people... if ya'll have any rad ideas to do on campus or downtown, lemme know!
 
We had MLC this week, it was really good. I love President. We gotta go to the beach again :) it was great.
Our zone got combined, so now we have 6 other sister- companinships instead of 3 like last transfer. Sooooo we be goin on lots more exchanges, which will be great! I love learning from other sisters and getting to know them better.
 
ohhhhhh GUESS WHAT?!?1 I be on Facebook soon... crazy huh?!?! I've gotta set my page up and all that still. But I will let ya know :)
 
Well well well. I know God lives. I know He loves us, that He is very aware of  us and our daily lives. I know His Son, Jesus Christ is our Savior. That He is the only way back home. I know this is His work, and that it's hastening. Big things are happening and miracles are around the corner I know it, all we gotta do is be obedient and open our mouths to EVERYONE about the Gospel.
 
 
I love you!!
