Things are happenin down in the south.

So freakin tired!

 we are just exhausted and pass out on the pillow! woah! we're workin hard haha well what has happened this week? Not all of our gators were able to make it to church this week :( but some part member families we're workin with came!! hurray! one we didnt even know was coming! the Loveilles, and at the end sis Loveille was super happy and she was sayin how she forgot how good the spirit was here! than her husband told us that he wants to take the lessons!! and so sweet!! this past week we have done alot of divide and conquer. so much to do! so i do one thing in the room while sis ch does the other thing :) crazy!! The baptisms for this saturday are still a go!! sis suddeth is entering into the waters of baptism at 11 as well as doug peterson! ahhh!! stressin out ma friends, so much to do, so little time! we just keep askin our WML what do we need to do now? how about now? how about now? haha 

ive been workin on trust this transfer, so im puttin all my trust into Heavenly Father that all will work out this week. we have alot of plans!!  It is interesting to see the effect that you have on people. just one person can make a difference! to us missionaries, just one person who is willing to listen to what we have to say can make our day so much better! one person can change generations! its pretty cool! hmm idk im just thinkin about contacting approaches, we have to do things a little differently down here in the south, so many people believe in bein with families forever, and the apostacy, and prophets and apostles. hmmm anyway! what else happened? so much!!!  Our gators sister is my doppleganger? haha we look alike freaky! but i love the bain family, they are sooo awesome! definitely need the gospel!! than adam came to church when he said he wasnt! he surprised! us!!  he is studyin the gospel hard core, i dont think ive ever met anyone who has studied the gospel as hard and as wide as adam has. we use an analogy with him concerning faith. you need to have faith that when you flick the light switch, the light will turn on. you cant just sit there with faith hopin that the lightll turn on, you have to get up and go flick the switch!! so faith with out works is dead. but adam is a deeper kind of man, and he wants to know so much about it! so we twisted the story a little bit. 

so he grew up let say learning that there was magic that turned the light on. but we tell him through modern revelation we know that there is a wire that runs from the light switch to the light bulb. you dont need to know what the wire is made out of yet, you dont need to know every crunchin detail. you first have to believe that there is a wire! than you can learn about what the wire is made of etc.
OR you can give an anology about how you can look at a tree and know its beautiful! you dont have to know every leaf, every limb, every inch of the tree to know. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a HUGE! and sooo deep! but you dont have to know all of it to believe!     we're workin on tryin to help our gators see that they wont know everything but that you just have to take a leap of faith!

We had a lesson with some people who are tryin to "save" us. bless their hearts. #nuffsaid. the wife wrote out all this anti stuff, all this false doctrine she said she found out. all the stuff that is contradictin itself. haha oh my just even thinkin about it brings a sad feelin! i wept over this! durin the lesson i thought i was ganna burst into tears! soooo sad! they are rejecting the most beautiful thing in the universe!  The Gospel of Jesus Christ isnt as different as people think. It makes me sooo dagum sad!! 

OH i was reading in BoM 2 nephi 4 and from vs23+ Lehi is (what i think) bringin up a pitty party. ya know. "why me!' why why why why!!! than he slaps himself in the face and prays. very very specific things he asks the Lord. so im ganna try to pray more different and specific!!  Things are happenin down in the south. i can feel it! ahh!! and yes it is gettin hot down here! woo!!! im gettin strange tan lines in the oddest places! eek! hahahaha Party down in NV

LOVE YALL
have a blesses week!

SIS MILNE THE Sun burnt... haha

Hey!

sorry for emailing so late. this morning was crazy we had to bike 5 miles into valp to help an elderly sister do service, its like 85? 90 degrees outside plus humidity! so we're pretty gross haha now we're here! tada!!

So happy to see my family yesterday! hurray! happy mothers day!! best. day. ever!!

OK! i have had so many epiphanys! woah. like seriously. so many.  Have you ever wondered why all the people in the BoM and Bible weep? most of them weep over the people and their wickedness, or when a heart is changed and they rejoice! so in our zone conference our mission pres has stepped up the bar of what he expects of us. he wants us to become powerful teachers of truth and rightousness! sick right?? so i realized this morning actually haha that everytime we get dumped by a gator, or someone tried to bible bash, or when the spirit is really strong and you can see the gators changing, i cry! i always thought it was because i was a cry baby!! but its not. its more than that... Never be afraid to cry! Jesus did it, alma did it, ammon did it! so many weep! but its more than just cryin, its feelin the sorrow on the inside! like when bobby dumped us last week tears were welling in my eyes! he just turned away from the truth and denied everything we had taught him! he put all things aside! pushed the feelins he felt out!! how SAD is that!!! so we weep! haha yep im a cry baby! haha oh well!!

We're steppin it up a ton in the area!!  we are movin through people. siftin and findin the wheat that is ready for harvest!!! So much is happenin though, i really dont know where to begin. im at a blank, im lookin at my planner and i dont know which to tell yall!!!!! we have some rockin gators! our southern family is mulitplyin! mamma E is absolutely amazing! i love being a missionary!

im almost finished with jesus the christ. hardest dagum book ive ever read!! i need to take more pictures. (HEY MOM CAN WE SWAP SD CARDS??) hmm we are pushin ourselves though, so much harder and stretchin so much farther! every time i hear that i think of laffy taffy hahahaha but its true we're strivin to be more specific and on the dot with certain things. makin every lesson count. teach em like they have a bcd!

OK ill tell yall about this LA sister we saw. she grew up in utah in the church, her whole family is active. but her lol she is so bubbly and fun! super la though, still follows the basic principals though. goes to methodist church with her bf. when we shared the message at the end of our dinner, we showed her the easter.mormon.org video and talked about how regret becomes relief! and why she stopped comin to church etc. she broke into tears! she told us so much and we gave her a chapter to read in the book of mormon  to read. she has had a change of heart! i did get teary eyed in there ;) but she is bein effected by the spirit and by the prayers of her family! she is so special. we just loove her!! she is feelin the spirit again and is turnin towards Christ again! happy day! all is well!! haha

Adam is doin well, he got his quad and a few other books about us. he is doin so much research! we just need to help him notice what the spirit is like! our last lesson i got the feelin of the bible bashin feelin. not from him, but from us! we need to keep our cool and take a breathe! he is still readin! he even came to church yesterday!! wooohooo!!! we had 10 of our gators that made it to church!! ahhH!! it was chaos!!! but so so soooo good! the spirit was there it was the best sunday ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not even playin! TJ smith he told us to come over after church because he had somethin to tell us. dun dun duun!!!n we go over with jamie bradley and he takes us outside my thoughts were "awe crap not again"  sis ch was the same way she told me later! but he brought up some of his past and why he thinks the way he does. we tried to help explain things, bouncin back and forth so that no one got bored of the other :) but he just had a question on pre earth life and the priesthood! sweet!! haha love him!!

than Sis suddeth has a bcd of may 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooohooo!!!! Peterson has the same date!!! MAY 24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its ganna be awesome awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my 2 down 5 more to go!! we're runnin out of time though!! gaah!! hahah i heard you know your bein a good missionary if when you come home at night your exhausted and ready for bed. but so excited for the next day that Heavenly Father has given you to work! story of our lives!!! I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is true. it is! it simply is! all things are here, the whole picture! not one part of it fuzzy or unclear! its perfect doctrines change the hearts of men! its helpes turn them to their fathers! and the hearts of the fathers to their children!
Life

Is

Good!

HEY!

Yes we're alive and well! Nobody panic! nobody panic!! so this past week was a little crazy haha so on Tuesday we usually have district meeting right? well we were up and ready, it was cloudy and rainy but that is normal. but then we got a call that said district meeting is canceled! ah! haha what? but the conference call was still on! so we called in at 10. and pres was tellin us about the flooding warnings and the tornado warnings. every missionary was to stay home with their 72hr kit ready!  you know I changed into my sweats! party! haha then we were insntructed to call in every 4 hours to make sure we were still alive. ok to be honest it wasn't hit hard here in Niceville! we're in a special place with bayou all around us and the high elivations we did pretty good!  the worst we got was the lightning storm!! so we baked cookies, watched every movie we owned then stole the elders movies and watched em! then we read scriptures for like EVER!! we made videos and were goofy! our phone was goin off a ton closer towards the end of the day!. 'immediate alert' 'immediate alert' 'immediate alert' with this awful/scary beeping noise! it was scary then the alert! the alerts were just warning. there was a tornado touch down or something not far, Niceville didn't get like any of it though. but we got txt msg from pres sayin to stay in the middle of the house and away from windows. so we moved our beds into our little hallway and had a sleepover!!#2by2 halaa! we did pepto bismal face masks (bad idea. it dries and hurts so bad!) than I gave sis ch a makeover. (she looked like a 3yr old had done it... haha) and we watched more movies!! the lightning storm was crazy though! k wait so all day was cloudy and on and off raining. #noahsark it was pretty sketch. but the lightning was like a strob light! constant light! the sky didn't get dark! ahh! and the thunder shook the house non stop! needless to say, we didn't get the best nights rest that night haha than on Wednesday we called in safe and sound, no one was allowed out still. but we still got up and did the normal routine. at this point of our lives we had done all that could be done and now we cleaned and made more videos! ahh! we're going a little crazy. I think I took a nap?... hmm but! around 4:30 we were released from prison! #prisonbreak so we bounced and went out! ooo how freedom tastes sooooo good! all our plans had canceled because we just didn't know so we went out to find people! we found sis diviney again! woohoo!! she is alive and well! we're goin over for dinner Wednesday! oh my how much ive missed her! its weird. I didn't know until I saw her. and it was like my life was back into place!! I love her!!!!!!!!! vini and gracee canceled. gracee had an allergic reaction to some make up and had to go to the hospital! sad day!! they are so tough! grr! but I love em and that is what makes it so hard!

Jamie came out with us Thursday because the whole town closed up due to the weather n such! sketch dun dun duun! we were on foot, and it was raining! we were ganna bike until it started raining. so than we walked. our poor feet were soaking and sore! lol but we got 2 new gators. zac and talon gamblin! I felt like we needed to knock on a house! (weird right? aint no body got time for that! haha) so we did this house and they let us inside! we helped em paint their house! their parents helped start a pentacostal church. sweet? but they both took bom and said they'd read and pray. they canceled our next apt though due to family comin in lol anyway!! we had another lesson with bobby and aj at wendys. it ... well ok

so he got a "calling" as a youth minister person in his old church again. so he has rejoined his old church and has decided to not read BoM anymore, he had prayed about it and it wasn't true, and he wont read it anymore. Ok what?? our last lesson went good! ga! so we got dumped and it was sad. we tried to talk about it, to see what happened, but it was just confusing. so we got dumped!! :( :( :(  sis ch wasn't happy at all. she just went off as we were walkin. Idk why I also get in these moods in bad times haha I was makin jokes and tryin to cheer up sis ch. so as we were walkin a car comes up behind us! what the! And it is Rashad!! hurray!! he said that he lost his phone! and that he has been looking for us! :) he wants to meet up again!! awe!!!! so we set up and apt!! heavenly Father LOVES sis Ch. she prays and He answers!! crazy! haha but yay!

than we went to chactaw beach. everyone down there that we met was politely rude! seriously! wouldn't even hear us out! no fun!! but we had an amazing lesson with adam guiles at bro simmons (the amazing) with sis pitcher(the amazing) and it was really really really good!!! Adam ordered a quad! and found the teachings of joseph smith and brigham young at a book store! and now he is goin to order a long restoration movie! haha who is this guy! we just love him!! he is doin awesome!! awesome awesome!

Found an almost lost sheep named casey lee nelson! he knows the church is true and wants to be baptized, just has wow issues! where do you come from??? he lives in crestview though:( but we got his number and are ganna try to get him dunked asap!!
TEMPLE DEDICATION!! wooohooooooo! fr Lauderdale temple is now the house of the Lord!! it was sooo good! it felt just like the temple! well not as good but as close as we can get! It felt sooo good! and I even had answers to prayers! hahai love love loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also love the halls. they are the cutest couple ever!/parents ever!

over all this week was all over the place. it was also a super long week! I cant believe all that happened in one week.... weird!! well that's all for now folks haha

What God does all day every day is for the happiness of us! immortality and eternal life for us!

Hola

This week was interesting to say the least we missed out weekly goals by 2 lessons! noooo :( so that was a bummer :( but we still had fun this week for sure. highlights... dagum I don't know!! haha Alyssa Hagewood came out with us on Tuesday! hurray! I absolutely adore her! oh my I freaken love her! ahh!! she is soo amazing! love love love!!

Vini and Gracee Febus. where do I begin... I don't even know. I love em soo much yet they are tough gators! hard core and just tough! gahh! but we had a lesson at sis stockmans house and had a recent convert Donovan black come. he is amazing. we finished teaching the PoS. there came a point where we were talking about eternal marriage and families. and they were having a hard time because its not what they were taught growin up n stuff. so we asked em to put everything they know aside and than we asked em if they would want to be together forever. Gracee said yes, Vini said no. (aw crap) than grace said no. his reason was that he just doesn't believe in that!

Here is what they said they believed. family is important yes. when a man and woman get married they become as one flesh. we are all imperfect! so when we die and go to heaven we will all be perfect and just praise God forever! we will know who each other are but there wont be any relationships.

Ok so than we did some research and askin around. because I can see where they are comin from but lets look at some facts.

Moses 1:39 Gods whole purpose is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life to men. What God does all day every day is for the happiness of us! immortality and eternal life for us! This is what God does! It would be selfish of God to make us all worship him in that sense. Yes he does need to be worshiped I mean its Heavenly Father for cryin out loud but not  just that forever and ever! Why go through all of this earthly life! why go through trial and tribulations if at the end were ONLY ganna be worshippin God!

A member used and example to help visualize :) so his daughter who is the cutest 2 yr old ever.  she is ganna go through trials, and hardships. she is ganna learn while she is growing up! but when she is grown up and off. he doesn't want her here praising him all the time! no haha he wants her to go out and progress keep growing in life!!

Now imagine that 100 fold. this is what God wants for each of His children!

 

anyway I just realized I went off... so sorry! haha but

Bobby hebert we finished PoS at dannys fried chicken.  it was fun :) haha than We had a cute fun lesson with Bro Palmer! I love that sweet old man! seriously! so stinken cute! He didn't do any family History but he did read some of the Book of Mormon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We also had a sleep over this week. I went to crestview with sister leifson and sis g came here with sis ch. it was good :)

Friday night we had the coolest lesson ever I think!! the power was out! k and we went over to bro simmons house with sis pitcher and Rachel we were meetin adam. we get there and we all have flashlights and candles! haha a candlelight lesson! very appropriate since we were talking about Christ! it was a really good lesson the spirit was definetly there and he read! he did so much research! its a little crazy!!!!!! oh my goossh! he is flippen amazing!! I wish there was a secret camera in there so yall could have witnessed it :)

woo!

There was a ward 5k run. that was cool!! than we had a good lesson with Peterson! we emphasized the spirit and we did alot of feelings n stuff haha we asked em what makes him happy and how he feels when he is happy! at the end we all kneeled down and asked if it was true! every one prayed! it was cool. Peterson said he felt locked up :( sad! so were ganna try another tatic! :) take him into a nother persons home! :)

OH AND that night we went to go see Vinis dance performance! never have I been to a dance recital with so much religion and God in it than this one! it was awesome!!!!!!! so so good!

Sunday was fun! we had 3 little tiny kids that came to church with us! than there was TJ camerson and josh that came. Peterson came too! hahah we were multiplying and replenishing the church! it was funny hahaha I love being a missionary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahh!

ok thzats all. I think ive typed the max!

LOVE

#becauseofhim #heisrisen

Hey!

So this week ive had a grip ton of eye openings, regrets, sad moments, tears, laughter, anger, every emotion possible I think has happened this week! so last pday we got permission to watch Saratov approach! soo good! so good! I realized a few things in the movie. A a simple testimony holds a lot of power. B Christ wanted to make his father proud and happy just like I do. and C Christ was afraid just like I am. crazy!

Ok sis Suddeth! is getting closer to baptism! she knows the church is true, she knows that joseph smith and BoM is true and all is right! now we're just waiting for her to gain a confirmation of the date to be baptized! she always just soaks up everything at church! oh my I just love her! love love loovvvee her!!

I read something that said how you express your love through your patience, selflessness, kindness and something else I cant remember.  but I liked it

Than for district meeting we went to the beach again and had a picnic. it was cold and windy! so many birds it was crazy! but it was fun! I love the sand :)

Bro Palmer, who we started to do family history with, we're teaching him the gospel! he recored general conference and is ganna read BoM and watch it :) HURRAY!!!!! I love him! I want to marry someone who will be old and cute like bro palmer :)

It is super interesting how people say they have prayed about BoM and feel like its not for them. and than its funny how we just don't respond and keep teaching them! we decided that they don't know what they're talking about so we're ganna keep teachin them!  :) crazy moment. We were teachin a guy named bobby, who is a ysa AJ patels friend. and at the beginning he told us he doesn't feel like its right or what not and so we taught him the lesson, which was 1/2 the PoS and I felt like I should invite him to be baptized. my thought are you jokin? but I felt I should, so I did. he said he feels his baptism was right and that he didn't need to do it again. so it was a no. im still not sure why I felt like I needed to ask him... hope I didn't mess things up! ahh!! :P sometimes being blind is scary! dun dun duun! haha

We taught the hard shell vini and graci again! woo! that was fun! crazy story #2

so they come in, we asked how there BoM readin was goin they also said they feel like it aint true and right for em. we didn't even respond we kept movin haha we were at sis stockmans house (she is boss) gracee had brought her notebook and had taken notes n stuff. they did read the pos pamphlet so they had notes that we didn't get to at all! we just simply taught. we went slow and thorough! we wanted to make sure every point was clear :) so! we only went 1/2 way. up to the spirit world. we touched on everything. vini tried to ask the question that would give the famous answer of Mormons work for their place in heaven. haha but sis stockman answered it beautifully and shot it down! 10 points for the missionaries! haha but the whole atmosphere of the room has been changing from when we first started goin there. they were both silent and answered simple questions we asked. vini tried to twist our words but it just made him seem dumb :) after it was all done, sis stockman called us and said that she was lookin at gracees notes and said that we talked about everything she had written down, that we touched every point she had questions about and concerns about even though she didn't say them. soo cool!! so that was fun!

Jessica Oniell moved :( so sad!!

 Met with Adam Guilles again! had the most amazing lesson ever! with bro simmons! seriously so amazing! I love bro simmons, he just says the exact things that make us feel good! ah! lOVE HIM!

Met with Mesa and Peterson, Mesa is graduating form EOD school! only 30% does, so its an honor to know him! ahh!! than we met with the smiths a few times that week! I love em!  Mary Smith seriously is a Mormon with out the covenant. She does food storage and has the same moral standards we do! SO COOL!!

Easter sunday was the best sunday evveerr!! We had 6 gators at church ^6^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is a record!!!!!! Sis Suddeth came, Mesa and Peterson came than TJ, Cameron, and Josh came!! ahhh!!! soo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best sunday! Ever! than we went to the bradleys house with tj for lunch! way fun! we got to hide eggs :) lol than we went over to the coolies house for dinner, seriously yall, they are cool hahahha sorry I had to do it! but I love em!! love love love em! they like dr who, they knit, have the greatest pictures, its like love all over the place!!ahh!

So overall life as a missionary is good! super happy we're here another transfer! hurray! itll be a good one!

LOVE

Sometimes the simple answers bring the strongest spirit

Is it just sad when i think about the past week. my mind goes blank?

once again! crazy foolishness has erupted this eek! im lookin at my planner and remembering these things but dagum. it felt like forever ago!! also! can you believe the transfer is over!?!?! thats messed up! Good thing im stayin in niceville again with sis Ch. this transfer is ganna be a wet one ;)

We have been activley engaged. but i think weve been busily actively engaged in everything!  so much to do, yet not enough things to do! ahh! what is the world comin too??

OK! our awesome gator Jessica Oniell who has a bcd! we had a lesson at mamma E's house. (sis edgintons house) and taught 1/2 the PoS! its so cool to see peoples eyes when they learn new things! she is awesome! she didnt come to church though because seh was throwin up :( yuck! so sad!! but she is getting better!! she moves this week though :( boooo!!!!! i love her! she wants to be a missionary! she is talkin about it and askin alot of questions lol we keep sayin you have to be bapitized first!! ahh! lol

TJ he came to church we taught him the restoration again. kinda a review wtih the cups though. it seems like everyone is a visual learner! so its great!! but... ok did i ever tell yall how in one week  i messed up the first vision 2x?? so embarressin so now everytime i know i get to say the vision i think about it in my head, and try not to mess it up! i discovered that in the restoration movie it says the first vision differrntly so i start to say it that way. but thats not right! gaa! life is soo hard! but its really cool. Joseph smith did more for the church save Jesus Christ only. Joseph Smith is the prophet to open the last dispensation. His wife was incredible. his brother Hyrum was amazing. and you know after pretty much hearing everything you could possibly hear about the church from the bible belt,
I know its true.

Shoo there is that senario about the tree that was givin in conference. like how the strongest trees go through the hardest storms. Its kinda like my testimony, it wont get strong unless its tried to the point of breakage! 

It is frustrating though when i cant explain very well plain and simple truths, or what im feeling. my words come out in a bump of confusion lol.

but!! all our gators are doin awesome!
Peterson has a bcd! woop woop! he is reading and prayin but needs to get better at it! we dont have that much time to teach him with the BCD so its crunch time haha.

Its also really cool to see how God works through others. all week people have been sayin things and doin things for us that just bring tears to my eyes! i really love it here! yes this is ganna be my 4 transfer here. that is a long time! but im happy. there is a ton todo! and on the plus side i dont have to pack and unpack again! hurray!! hahaha  

than on sunday the stake put on a musical performance called the Lamb of God. ok can i just say we have the most talented ward/stake in the world?? seriously it was incredible! i cried sis ch stared at me cryin! (thats wierd...) so many non members, it was alittle overwhelming haha but it was absolutely incredible. it had ailttle les miserable sound. like the people singing and the songs they sang. it definetly made me think about things in a different perspective!
Its always hard to imagine what life was like back than. because non of us were there, so every perspective is good! but serously it was amammamamamzing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now were just super exhausted again! haha every night this past week, i fall asleep as soon as i hit the pillow. instant and than we wake up 2 seconds latter to the alarm! its crazy!! today is ganna be fun. this transfer is ganna be fun! is a relief to know im stayin though! there is so much goin on!! ahh!!!

Ok thats all!
Love
Sis Milne the best

ps. sometimes the simple answers bring the strongest spirit. thick!

xoxoxox

Peace and Blessings

Hey!

This week was in one word: Chaos

haha we lost our phone for a day lol it was missing like 5 hours before we realized it was gone! so... that tells you how important it is to us lol. oops!!! I got my root canal this week. it wasn't bad at all! super fast too that was nice :) I love the Thomas's so much! just sayin! shoo I don't even know where to begin with what happened. so itll be super scattered!

We had met a new family! love her but it was a huge rain storm! hurricane season is on its way! hurray!! :) and so it had been dumpin sheets of water. we had to pull over and wait for it to stop cuz we could not see out the window oops! any way me and sis ch both thought of the family! the Smiths ;) so we went over to their house. it is insane! total chaos! there are 14 kids livin there! ahh!! sis smith was cryin cuz her daughter was in the hospital cuz her fiancé beat her up way bad, but now decided that she was gonna go back. so sis smith the mom was upset then there were little girls everywhere!! so many hallways to the house and kids hiding everywhere! it was insane! ok so background to this find: we had been prayin to find someone, a family who was not happy with their church who were not satisfied with where they were at. kk? remember that

Now back to the smith home. sis smith takes in kids that don't have places to stay, any kids that need help she has em. she has a huge food storage pantry! its awesome!! her morals and standards are basically Mormon! she just doesn't know it yet! so we got to know people and visited with em! the ones we taught were Mary smith (sis smith) TJ age 20, Joseph age 9, and Cameron age 13. the rest were lil girls and there were people hiding in the house so we didn't find em.. (super messy house but not. its complicated) so we taught em a lil lesson. got a return apt. TJ came to church!!!! woohoo! and he looovveed it. like seriously he was soaking it in like a sponge! everyone was super nice and came up to him! it was awesome!! he doesn't look happy, he NEEDs the Gospel!! we went over to their house after church and taught sis smith the restoration. she isn't happy with her church and she wants a change. oh did I mention that they live right across from the church? haha oops! yeah they live way close!  oh my soo good!! they all have boms now... ok that was a lie they don't. too many of em but Heavnely Father answered our prayers!!! AND they are ganna watch general conference this weekend! she TiVod it :) Now im at a point where I feel like im a lousy teacher :P shoo I need to step it up some more!! gahhh!!hahah

The suddeth family came to church! hurray!!! it. was. awesome!! than today. (this morning) we taught her again with her neighbor sis gouker. soo good! she is gonna keep the Sabbath day holy and fast after she is baptized.( did you know you don't have to fast when your prego?? crazy!) anyway! we talked about it in the car. she had said she is waiting for that one thing to get her into the water. than we were thinkin, hmmm we never helped her understand what HG feels like. we talked about it, but if she felt it would she know?? so next time were ganna do that :) I love the suddeths they are sooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome!!!! she is like over the edge of the font! sooo close!!

Than the Barco family came to church! Their boys love church! sis edginton is the best thing that ever happened here! hahaha

Peterson came to church with the Hagewoods! hurray! we didn't get to talk to anyone hahahaha except TJ and the suddeths!  oh I love bein a missionary!! Peterson is doin good though. he is back in school. no more double tappin! haha

We found our Jdub gator again! hurray! she was tellin us about the 3444 people. its crazy when you hear all about others beliefs and notice how they have truth in em! shoo the apostacy is real! Go study up ma friends!!

Sad story time: We were at our gators house. and little Eli the neighbors kid, he wants to be Mormon so bad it breaks my heart. he sat through a whole lesson and he is 6 he sat and listened and read some scriptures with us! all the kids (there was 3) got a BoM. it was a full house lesson! but we came back a few days later and Eli looked way sad and told us his step mom told him he couldn't read BoM and couldn't come to church with us. seriously I almost started cryin with him! I wish yall could've seen him when he told us that. we asked him if he still had BoM. he said yes. we told him to never throw it away! to keep it with him forever! he said he would. but oh my stinken heck! step mom. you aint even his step mom! your his dads gf! back off the kid!! so we had some mixed emotions about the situation.

funny story time: sis smith called me and sis ch fat. hahaha

Lets talk about the FIRST EVER WOMENS CONFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO STINKEN AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok that's all ive got to say!! oh my gosh I wish yall knew some of the things ive heard outside of conference. our bishop was sayin things. I was like OMG! he talked about Satan attacking everyones daughters! hard core! and that it starts with romance novels. (SO TRUE) when elder ballard came down here and talked he said how the war in heaven was still goin on and that we are on enemy territory raisin families! . Full force at the women! are you kidding me?!?!?! no and than when we heard Eyering. Follow Eves example. do what needs to be done, be smart and wise. THAN I thought about how God is ganna send down his priesthood army and needs faithful mothers to raise em. -the age change- WHAT!?!?!?!?!??!?! HOW CRAZY IS THIS!!!

Basically the end thing to learn from this weeks letter is that life is good. its fun bein a Mormon. General conference is sooo close! im so excited like Christmas hahaha
