Hey World!

Our apartment is Lovely! i love love love it! This past week has been fetchin amazing!! We love the tally 4 sisters! we ate at moes! so good! i ate a GIANT burrito! haha all of it... Then wednesday was the greatest day ever! are y'all ready for it? we went to the homeless shelter (we volunteer there every week yes we're basically saints haha) there was this cranky volunteer who is sad but me & sis hirst and another volunteer named miss ann, we were laughing and talking and having fun!! then dun dun duunn!! we biked. I sweated in places i didn't know i could sweat! you don't even want to know! so i wont tell you. its just gross! we biked and talked to everyone!! we would be all gross and sweaty, riding really slow up steep hills! super embarrassing! we laugh but then we can't ride and laugh at the same time so we just laugh hahahahaha! anyway, the night before we knew we were almost out of BoMs so asked our district leader for some more, and his comp answered the phone and asked how many we wanted, i said like 8. i thought that was a good number right? so we would have extra just in case. he was like EIGHT?? can you even give out that many in a day? me and sis hirst made it our personal goal to give them all away! so during the whole day we're just giving BoMs away and gaining new gators. we rode our bikes to a recent convert named miss Rosia! but she wasn't home, BUT her daughter Keonna was!! and so we were like hey can we teach you a lesson?? she was cool with that! (this is in the same neighborhood as Michael) and she wants to get baptized! when we were talking about Joseph Smith and the BoM she said "Everyone needs one of these!" We told her that BoM was the most correct book on the earth and has only been translated once! she was in shock! we didn't even ask her to be baptized she said it herself!! Woot WOot!! she is so awesome! and on my mission i have grown to loovvveeee hugs!! i hug keonna and miss rosia so much haha they probably think Im crazy... oh well! then we tracted and contacted, drove to dinner and then biked some more haha. By the end of the day when we called in and safe, we had given away 13 BoMs! RECORD!!! we talked to so many people! it was amazing! We were on a spiritual high!! IT feels AWESOME!! ugh it was amazing!!!!! we had been praying to meet more people whose hearts have been softened! and we did! i think only like 2 people didn't take a BoM? Everyone we met was so willing and excited!! its was so crazy!! we were so happy!! hhaha best day ever!!! i feel like we say that everyday lol. the next day we had tons of appts. but people fell through and thats always tough. so we went to go teach a woman named betty (who we dropped because of craziness. (she wasn't there in the head) and lo and behold MICHAEL appeared!!!! we drove in and he was leaving the house and we smiled and waved! his whole face lit up! he was so excited to see us! we pulled in, prayed and jumped out to talk to him! he had ran up to the second level of apartments, our other gator named Raniky talked to us for a min. than i saw that michael was just standing leaning over the railing. i looked up and said " what are you doin up there? you runnin away from us?" he smiled and blushed and then ran downstairs to talk to us! i have never had a desire more strongly to hug someone! he is like a small gangster! ahhh i love him!!! he has been reading and praying and is seeing a difference in his life! the elders have made contact with him and are trying to set up an appt to meet! they better try really hard for him! he has a bcd!!! then we said that if we're here we would love to go to his baptism and he said he wants us to go! he really wants us to come :):):) ahhhh!!!!! WE LOVE MICHAEL!!!! he lifts us up! reminds us why we're here! We love that spiritual energy! sis hirst says we have become energy vampires haha i believe it too!!! then the next day which is friday we saw him again!! and we read some of the BoM with him and than he prayed. out. loud!!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!! ugh i love him! he is going to be such a strong member!!  we gave a BoM to some people smoking weed! they were so nice! they were rolling it up and doing it in front of us haha, we are going to teach them thursday! so nice!! so on saturday we decided to bike again... that morning we prayed for strength to ride our bicycles up the death hills, they are seriously deadly... we do it because we know we have to go teach people on top of the hill! just getting up the hill sucks! so we prayed really hard before then we went! by the time we got back from all our appts and such we weren't as tired and sore! the lord really did give us help! i appreciate downward hills a lot more and wind a lot more. also clouds a lot more! still not bugs haha i killed one on my face!!! NASTY!! sis hirst had one in her teeth hahahahaha so funny!!! oh i love being a missionary!! im starting to notice when i talk to people who are ready for the gospel and who are not ready! its insane! there is a light/desire in some peoples eyes that touches my heart! i want to cry out in joy!! this week really has been amazing, yes there were down parts but we were fighting to stay up! and the lord knew that!! we are still fighting! and will forever fight!! I am in love with the people here!! they are so funny! and i think I'm picking up a pretty good accent! oh!!! i ate turnup greens and rutabega! :P not as good as people say! but when you mix it in with potatoes it is magically delicious! muah! well i pray to keep up the spiritual highness! i love being a missionary! ahhhh!!! oh! today a memeber Kathy Lopez is taking us to Wakulla Springs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE SO EXCITED!!! my goal is to touch an alligator/crocodile! i will attempt to wrestle but i fear for the worst for my skirt... its really cute! oh! so our next door neighbors. we saw two girls go inside the house so we were like, WHAAA the guy has two girlfriends oh my gosh our neighbor is awesome crazy! then the next day we saw him get out of his car than 5 mins later he pulled up in a different car! waaa!!! so when we saw him and he started talking to us we asked him if he has a twin. he does! his name is john hahahahaha we were laughing so hard!! bugs are everywhere! and they are huge!! we caught a giant cockroach under a jar and just left it there to die... than we saw what we think was some form of scorpion but it flew or something and we were screaming and sis hirst starting smashing it with a jar or something! hahahahahha i get abb work outs!

Hey haha!

 

alrighty!! hi! how are ya'll doin? ok this past week has been intersting! haha i love it!!  This week seemed like forever! now that im looking back on it! wow! i cant remember that far back! woops!! anyway this week right! i have been trying so hard to be a celestial missionary! its way hard! da gumit! i want to laugh all the time because i think im just so funny but than sis hirst isnt saying anything so than i stop talking and than its just awkward.... but than we realize how awkward it is and laugh! I always have to remind myself that im a missionary, because i just love everyone and want to be myself completely! Oh and there are people here that watch Dr Who!!! whaat??? they are my best member friends... ok not my best member friends but my member friends. hahaha! oh my goodness! this past week i have been feeling sorrow! sorrow for every soul that we drive by on the street! WHY?? it hurts just to see them and know what they are missing! yes i cry sometimes :P Is this what Christ feels when people deny him? Because this sucks! so im trying to get rid of the sorrow by spreading the gospel to everyone!!! There are some really mean people here! haha funny story! wait back up! the day started like any other day! great studys! i didnt fall asleep in them! (thats why they were so great!) and we were biking that day, we were going to go over a cross walk. and it said it was our turn to go! so sis hirst started going and a truck zoomed by! and almost hit her!!! she stopped and turned around and said " DID YOU SEE THAT??" i said "YES OH MY GOSH YOU ALMOST DIED!!!" we were scared a little bit, chuckled it off and kept going. All was well! the Lord really looks out for us! then we were at a gas station for a bathroom break and i was backing her out (because missionaries need to back other missionaries out  its not my favorite thing thats for sure) and some guy must have really wanted the parking spot next to us because he was determined to run me over to get to it! Scary!!! Thank you Heavenly Father!! He has our backs! But then!... we went to go see a potential gator, it was a trailer park. and there were tons of people out! so we're thinking sweet! new gators! give out lots of BoMs! spread the gospel right?? wrong. We gave out 2 BoMs? and we walked up to this group of women, they wouldn't even look at us!! we introduced ourselves! exchanged names said who we were. asked if we could give them a BoM they said NO!! and turned their backs and ignored us!!! they didn't go anywhere, they just didn't acknowlege us anymore!! RUDE! we thought! so that killed our spirits! a little bit. and during this whole time we felt uneasy. possibly a little awkward. Then there were Herds of children running around! we would smile and wave at them, but they would just freeze and glare at us! not even smile!! we got back into the car alittle confused. why were people so mean!!! what was happening? we drove up the street and parked. we felt like we should try one more street in this park/neighborhood. we get out and start walking, a car drives by. ( im not feeling good) than it stops and starts backing up towards us!!! the guy driving is glaring at us! i tell Sis Hirst "we got to go Now" she says yes. we speed walk to the car, jump in and zoom away!!! So scary! i have never felt the spirit like that before!!! we kept waving and smiling at people hoping for  someone to smile back. Nope not one!! so we gave all the people who we set up apts with in that neighborhood to the elders because we dont want to go back to it!! seriously! i was scared! and The Holy Ghost did not want us in there any longer! I love the Holy Ghost! He is the most amazing man ever!! the things that He does for us is just incredible!!! so that was a great day hahahaha. Than last night? we got our apt. dedicated :) yay! now it feels good! there is a different feeling when a home is dedicated and when it is not! i feel safer when it is dedicated!!!

 

So cockroatches are not as bad here!! at least not that ive seen! yes i see them in houses but they aren't crawling all over us! so im happy :) oh my heck we found two cockroatches in our new apt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! brother  Delp is going to spray it for us! i would rather live in a tent than with cockroatches!! ugh nnaaasssstttyyyyyy!!!!! we went to dinner on thursday in  a members home her name is annie presly! sweetest woman ever!! I love her!! she lives in the scarest neighborhood though! murder!! everywhere! messed up. But anyway she made us dinner! and i walked in and she said i was sparkly! i was like sparkly? she said yeah! in a good way! your just sparkling! haha ok :) greatest thing ive ever heard!! she is amazing! her testimony is so strong!! and the whole family is baptized because she was! even her grandkids are in the church!! She is so sweet! yes cockroatches are in the house. BUT i didnt see one while we were eating!! before? yes i saw one but she is so sweet and amazing!! Than there is Jarquecce who was baptized almost 3 months ago? she is so sweet and has two adorable kids!! we love her!! she loves us!!

We love visiting her! and she is an amazing missionary!! just by talking to her will uplift you! she makes me want to be a better person! she has been through so much and she is so strong! so happy!! its just incredible!! someday i want to have the faith she does and the strength she does! because it is so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  anyway we found this guy walking on the street! his name is  Michael williams! sweetest guy ever! has dreads and lives alone! we met with him twice, got a BCD! We refferred him to another wards elders :( its so sad and hard giving people away to other missionaries! We want him to be taken care of! he will be baptized and be strong because he is so sweet and wants to change his life so bad! ugh we just love him!!! we both agreed that we will call and check up on him every once in a while! we wont loose hope! or touch! hahaha

 

There is a new type of mosquitos!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh and we saw a salamander! it was huge! it was on a members mobile home when we went to visit her! we also saw a vulture, frogs, lizards! its crazy! we're in the jungle down here!!! haha the weather has been nice! im going to cry when it gets hot though :(. I honestly dont know how i could be a missionary with out the Lords help! the way that he prepares people is  incredible! its simply brilliant!! i can see it with my eye balls!! when people are ready it doesnt matter what we say because the spirit tells them that its true! and when people are not ready, well they just glare at us and dont wave back lol! I love the Book of Mormon! im almost done! im in Ether! Ether 5 i believe! first time ever that i have read BoM all the way through by myself!! i love the Book of Mormon! it seriously changes lives! it blesses lives! with the Book of Mormon side by side with the Bible its a powerful tool!!

Hey!

Happy conference weekend... last weekend... haha ok so now as we all should know, i am in tallahassee first ward! woot woot! lots of ghetto and trailerparks! woot woot!! im so happy this is going to be awesome! so my comps are as follows ;) sister hirst! she is amaaazziinnnggg! i love her so much! she has been out for almost a year, she is from nevada and is 22. she has been in this area for 9 months! so she knows it pretty well it think! she is like a perfect celestial missionary! i copy her a lot! haha oh sis hirst trained sis rappleye!! waat! crazy right?? haha but we get along so fetchin well! we are both positive and want to do the same things! im so pumped for this area! she knows the rope and we both got the motivation!!! its going to be crazy!!! hhaaha we have the funnest time together!! she is super healthy because she is allergic to basically everything that is not natural... no meat dairy white grains.. and tons more! so we have lots and lots of smoothies!!!!!!!! she has been to ireland! comp unity!! hahaha I love her! i feel like i already know her! we must have been friends in the pre existent! ok and than there is sister maracucci.. cucci not gucci. dont make that mistake around her! she is from washington, and is almost 21. she is a bit harder to connect with, but we love her! she has a lot of medical issues. but when i heard what they were, they are not as big as the gene i have... but she has medical issues. she laughs a lot and loves to sing. people call her the singing sister at  the homeless shelter! she is very blunt and we're working on putting a filter on her mouth hahahaha she just says things! like you mom, with sister marshmellow! thats what im thinking about!! this is sister marcucci! haha oh dear! yes me and sister hirst are jim and pam (from "the Office") and sis marcucci is dwight and kevin all in one person!!!!!!!!! i hope your mind is exploding as much as mine is!

The people here are so nice! i haven't met everyone yet because conference was this weekend but i have met a few people! the ward is super into missionary work and its great!!! so much easier than milton! milton was hard! im now realizing how hard it was! im praying for sister Rappleye! she is kicking miltons butt! yeaya!

So the reason we're moving is because president told us to. like the week before i came, there was a guy stabbed to death around the corner and down the street from where we live! hahaha! crazy right?!?!?! and down like 3 houses is a crack house.... we live in the ghetto! its so awesome! we're pretty safe though! we're obediant so the lord protects us! oh my crazy story time!! the first night im here in tally. we go see a gator, and its the 2nd time they have met with him. we didnt want to go inside his house, because he was saying how he was a captian in the army for vietnam and he ordered a town to be killed and he knew there were innocent women and children in it. then he was an undercover agent and killed people, apparently he likes killing! he feels so bad now though he is trying to repent! we asked president if it was ok to teach someone like him, we got the ok! but anyway! we went to teach him and he lives in this apt complex, we sat outside! and we were almost finished with our lesson! he is so awesome we love him so much and cant wait for him to get baptized! (we know he will) and he will be able to feel some relief! just hearing what he goes through! it sad! he was crying i started crying!!!!! he NEEDs this gospel! ugh! the atonement is amazing and its just awesome all that it covers! this 68 yr old man who hates himself for what he did when he was younger has been living in agony and torture for so long! and than we came along!!!!!!! ugh its amazing! anyway back to the story!! so we were talking and than we heard tapping, like a blind mans cane! and some guy came up (talking very loudly might i add) and was like "excuse me!, can either one of you take  me back to my apt, i cant see and i will be walking around for hours trying to get to it!!" than rick(our gator) said " not right now were having a meeting sorry." and than the guy started yelling at us and he was sooo rude! he said " fine i will remove myself from you holiness while i try to get back!" ahh!! rick said that his nieghborhood used to be nice, but now a bunch of convics live here! the blind guy was a convict who has problems with drugs!!!!!!! say what??  we got back to our lesson and than the guy came again, and was like "hello? hello? I heard someone over here!" we all didnt say a word! we stayed silent and than he kept walking! haha crazy right! he couldnt see us though! than we whipspered that we better go hahaha he kissed all of our hands and thanked us! how sweet right!!! ( oh btw its way dark outside) but than rick was like "hold on a sec" He went inside grabbed his gun put it in his pants and walked us to our car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best/worst day ever!! (because it was transfer day) whaaat? is that crazy or what!! The lord watches out for us!!!!!!!! rick is amazing!!!! HE is AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Than this member family we're teaching has a daughter who is being rebellious or something so they asked if we could teach her. we did try. but she is 14 and you know how they think hahaha so i started asking the family questions, not her. and turns out! they have an arabian! horse!!!!! if i wasnt on my mission they would let me ride him! aparently he is only saddle broken? but an arabian!!! i may or may not have freaked out!! i was sooo happy!!! than the girl got into the conversation! she is now my friend, mazy! so hopefully when we teach her again  we can connect better and touch her heart!! I think that is enough for this week. Wish me and sister hirst luck! Dont pray for patience though! i did that in milton and got transfered here to tally. haha I know that is not all of the reason why im here. honestly i think one of the reasons is because sister hirst. Im amazed she has lasted this long in the companionship without me! she is so happy im here! hahah I love her! im here to uplift her i think! THis is going to be fun! so many black people!! hahaha I love Tallahassee!!! The elders are awesome!!!! so sweet and polite!! its awesome!!!!!!!!!

Ok world heres the scoop

 

Missionary work is hard work. This week by far has had to be the hardest!! Lets see People here are very discouraging and hopeless! I love Them SOOO much!! But it hurts to hear things about our investigators. This weekend me and sister rappleye cried a lot. we just felt so alone in this work. as if Heavenly Father wants us to do this great work and we want to do this work, but... everyone else doesnt want us to! so sad!! right?? Me and Sis R thought we were doing pretty good right? than someone put in a complaint about us sister missionaries in milton. IT HURT LIKE CRAP!! when president called us and told us. it hurt a lot!!! i cried and cried. We are both new! we dont know what we're doing wrong! and everyone tells us we're doing great work! and then someone says this? whaat?? So i shut down. I kept all my emotions in the next few days, no no no dont do that. because than i was sad! so everyone thought i was sad, i really was but i tried to reign it in. gaah sorry this email probably wont make much sense, there are people talking around me, the library is closed so were at a members place. they're nice enough to let us use there computer :) anywho!!  Why were people being so mean to us! really we were trying so hard and giving it our best but it seemed like it wasnt good enough!! so we prayed a lot and cried a lot and then we said you know what! we're doing our best!! we can always get better!! we created a plan to help us not think too much. ( we sing primary songs and make up songs. as soon as we've got a full one ill send it to ya.) so all this happened within friday and saturday. so sunday, we went to visit a less-active with a member. the member drove us in there camero? hawt right?? and than we rode our bikes to church. we were running late and then one family we're working with pulls up in there van and asks us if we want a ride! ( we were 10 mins away and church started 5 mins ago) we said yes! but our bikes wouldnt fit, and than tada! another member rolls up in their truck and said to throw our bikes in the back! MIRACLE!! we got to church on semi time!!! but then... when we walked in, another ward was leaving and they were like Sister Missionaries!!!! we love you! on time i see again, because he said if we're not on time than we're not doing our job. we were walking down the hall and i felt like a celebrity!! everyone wanted to shake my hand and talk to me! it was so amazing!!! so that made us feel so much better about ourselves. there are people here that want us.... not that they have a choice hahaha. so after church we went over to visit a less active family, and the mom sister combs is amazing! she is my mom here. (sorry mom) we vented to her, and she helped us realize that satan is the one to blame!! that we're doing our best, and we can improve and beat satan!! he is amazingly good at his job, i hate him... he's a jerk!!! and than the elders called us and told us that we were doing a good job and not to worry about what others say. it was weird i think that our elders are mean sometimes! haha ok maybe not mean but not as gentlemany. but these last few days when i had shut down and such they were super nice, going out of their way to compliment us and how we're doing, giving us rides because it was our bike week. Through a hard trial, Heavenly Father has blessed us and helped lift us up even more!! I think that if sis R wasnt my companion, i would have stayed shut down.

 

This week we gave Ray Ray away to the elders, hardest thing ever! He is ours not theirs! its better for them, but i hope they work as hard with him as we were. We were pushing him and he was growing so much! so i hope he continues!! ugh!! but we still see him all the time! OHOHOHOHOH!! This weekend is our baptism!! Joey!! yayay!!! saturday at 11!!! :) he is a child record so its not a gator or a convert... ahahaa!! im soo excited! he is sooo excited! and its Easter! yay!!! sorry i dont really know what to say in this letter. The gospel is true! We have to work hard to progress! we can always get better! When people doubt you or critisize you, or even if you do it to yourself! just think Christ had this happen to Him!! and Christ is Fetchin amazing!! So talk to Him and see how he did it! He will tell ya through him and the gospel everything is possible!!!   Hmm My challenge for you this week is to have more specific prayers! Specific prayers lead to specific answers which leads to specific miricles! I love you all!!! Thanks for the support, i dont think I could do this without your support!  I am recieving your prayers and thoughts! oh btw i found a giant black bee... :) its in the house waiting to be sent home! muahaha I love you all! go watch conference! dont fall asleep!  Happy easter!! This easter is going to be AWESOME!! haha Remember Christ!!

 

Love

5th Letter 3.18.13

Hello!!

Ok So this past week has been pretty crazy! out of all the referrals we got (43) we have about 12 left? sweet eh?? We cleaned one of the family's home this week that we're teaching. let me see if i can tell you how awesome it was. They are a part member family! right? i think ive told you of them before, the Johnsons? anyway So this is the cockroatch house! :/ we started with a cloth to wipe down tables but then there were to many bugs and trash everywhere. so we changed tactics! joey had the vacuum who would suck all the bugs as fast as he could! alyssa would... im not sure what she was doing same with haylie... they were helping though. we cleaned under the couches and the walls! OH We found 3 black widow spiders in the house with eggs!!!!!!!!!!!! EWW! those poor kids! when me and joey opened a kitchen drawer everything was still and than they'd expold out of there! joey was having a hayday! it was so funny.. until one was on me... than i was done! i prayed harder and went back to work! ewe soo gross!! i feel so bad for the kids! for everyone there! hopefully everyone that helped saw what needed to be done. after cleaning that house i had lost my appetite for a day and all i could see were bugs! we showered right when we got home! uhh i still get chills thinking about it! the saddest part of that whole thing though was when i went into the girls room and saw nothing. there were blankets and little cushion things for their beds! no toys or anything! saddest moment ever!! bless their hearts! i nearly cried! they have no beds! joey sleeps on a bench in his gmas room and the aunty whose excommunicated with her husband sleeps on the floor. than robyn (the Mom) and ray ray (stepdad kind of) sleeps in a room down in the garage! seriously! i tear up thinking about the kids! but they're looking for a new house.  OK SOMETHING HAPPY!!

We converted a Baptist and someone whose in the Drug buisness to believe in the BoM! haha awesome right? Robert and Holly, they're rayrays siblings. so funny! while we were talking i saw a drawing of a stick figure on roberts inner knee. so i asked if he drew it. he said "yeah i was bored one day and had a tattoo gun"....What?!? hahaha so ugly! dont ever do that! but it gets better! than he took off his shirt basically and showed me the rest of  his tattoos!! eek! so awkward! what was i suppost to do?? so i said "No need to take off your clothes there" and he was saying something about rayrays tattoos so i said "yeah we know but  he didnt take his clothes off to show us" haha ahh! awkward! but it was funny! he just laughed at me. apparently im super funny down here...

 

I have officially discovered my reason for being on a mission. Earlier this week me and sis R were walking through a neighborhood contacting with no success so we started back for the car. when we saw someone getting out of a yellow truck next to this super cute old house. we walked past it but than i thought to myself. No regrets? could we Help this person? so we went back and talked to him. He was so nice! his GF was pregnant! they were getting married right after the baby is born :) cute eh? he told us areas not to go because of mean people and such. we gave him a BoM and asked if we could come back. he said sure :D sweetness right. but thats normal. anyway! Yesterday (sunday) came around and we were having a bad day. Rayray wouldnt come to church because he was too tired, our deaf family wasnt there, robert wasnt there and holly left because she felt sick. it was just not a good day. But we went to meet Scott (that is his real name) we get to his house on time and he was happy about that (oh he is in his mid 30s?) We just started talking and getting to know each other when his pregnant GF who is about to deliver next week so she is HUGE! drives up. her name is Erin. She joined us and we asked if we could start with a prayer so I prayed. Than we taught the first lesson, the restoration. HOLY POWERFUL! the spirit was so strong! Erin started crying when we talked about families are for eternities. and a few other times in the lesson. This lesson was the first lesson that i fully and completely recited the JS vision. "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which desended gradually until it rested upon me. when the light rested there appeared two personages whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. one of they spake unto me calling me by name and said pointing to the other "this is my beloved son, hear him."

So im still working on the exact wording, dont judge ;) but it was just amazing! after we finished the lesson, testified of BoM and Families again we asked them to be baptized in 6 weeks. They Said YES!! they have been looking for this! If only you could have seen their face when we were teaching them! It was like the most beautiful/amazing/fetchin sweetest thing ever! That is why im here. To bring the Fullness of the gospel to others. People are so prepared! and theyre waiting for me to share the gospel with them! Uh their eyes when we were talking! they absorbed everything we said! and they asked questions! it was so awesome!!! They made me realize how much joy the gospel brings to life! its complete! its simple! and its Bold! Im so happy to be out here! and I cant wait to find more Scotts and Erins! UGH!! Its just amazing! i want everyone to know how this feels! the spirit is soooo strong! and... idk how to explain what i feel. I love my savior! he will protect and guide me every minute.  love him!!!!!!

 

Until Next week yeah?

Love

The coolest Sis Miss evar!

4th Letter 3.11.13

Hello world!!

 

hahah that is so fun to say!! It is getting warmer and  more humid everyday!... dun dun dunnnnn! last week was our official first full bicycle week! holy killer! my butt hurts more! Elder Jolley said that our butts will get calluses (Spell Check)! NOO! I do NOT want a callused butt!!!!!! my apt smells like diapers again! EW! ugh so nasty we're deep cleaning it again today! i swear someone put a diaper in the vents... im going to look! BRILLIANT! haha I hope all of you got my letters ok! i sent out a few :) and a few more will be arriving this week also! Anyway this past week has been good and bad. Good because we got another Baptism! YAY! RayRay Tiller :) Joeys step dad kind of... its complicated and i am too lazy to explain it poorly. he is from the hood! he is awesome! He will protect us from other gangsters and such hahaa in milton hahhaaha! apparently everyone is scared of him! saweeet! right! i want to go tracting in this black neighborhood! it looks so awesome! and i feel like im in a movie when i was walking down the streets :)

I  never realized how strong our ward was at home until i came out here. The wards are soooo weak! there are a few strong members that are just amazing than there are those who go but don't really care, to prideful i think and then there are the less actives! I love this ward so much but they need help! So its a good thing me and Sis Rappleye are here! we're going to push them! we're just now realizing things that we need to be doing. I wish we knew them earlier... but now is better than later! this week is going to be better than last week!! i first need to dump a bucket of water on rayray for sleeping through church yesturday hahaha ill let ya know how that goes! Then we're going to help clean their house for some of our service hours! we will burn our cloths after that because there will be so many nasty bugs on us lol than there is a woman named Linda who owns this BEAUTIFUL property and has this pond in the back of her house where her family goes boating and swimming and such! oh beautiful! were going to do yard work... :P yard work. . .  oh I Held a lizard!!! a little lizard gecko thing!! hahah i kissed it!! it was green and than turned brown!! how awesome! i feel very accomplished! i cant catch them, im to scared hhahaha sister wilson and robertson ( bishops wife and a member) were laughing hysterically at me while i tried to grab one on the dock!

 

I embarrass myself a lot here.. Im working out the kinks of how people respond to certain things but sister rappleye laughs at me all the time! Its weird all the people love me here! is that boastful?... im just quoting sis R. OOHH!! I just remembered the deaf family!! Tasha and Kevin Redmon! and her 3 girls who are baptized and adam the deaf ward missionary.Tasha and Kevin Came to church!!! YAY!!! Im sooo happy they came to church!!!! Adam is moving to Utah! and if you see him and he tells you bad things about me,they're not true!! Whatever happens!! haha no i love the redmons, we're communicating so well! its amazing and awesome that I know sign language. Im teaching sis R sign too! its so much fun!! Adam is a distraction during the lessons though. So i don't think we want him at a lesson again hahaha he talks about video games and other things! but i love him! oh my so the bishop asked me to say the opening prayer during sacrament meeting. i said ok :( inside i said no though ahaha and for some strange reason all the kids from our investigators came and sat next to us! that is like 6-8 kids!! i was crazy!!! hhahahaha but after the opening song nothing happened. I was distracted. next thing i know sis R tapped me and said its time to pray!! i jumped up and ran up i apologized because i forgot, said the prayer and ran down. So embarrassing! Everyone was either laughing or giggling. Adam said he's going to tell you guys when he comes to utah. but now you know the truth! oh my it was so embarrassing! hahahaha maybe he wont ask me to pray again??

I want to teach this guy named Cody who is an interpreter for adam who comes to church each week. he isn't a member though. He is on my list!! and the only way you get off my list if you not a member is by becoming a member or dying... so its a tough decision! haha Me and sis R are making so many friends! I need to work on being a celestial missionary! but I've got to run! i need to go clean my apt and than sleep! day light savings is killing me! but good thing it is our car week hahaha the elders can ride there bikes! Oh yeah another joke that the elders have. I hate it but they love it. They always say that i hate them! hahha E Jolleys like oh  yeah that just because you hate me! than E Cooper is like awe don't hate him! ahha i walk away and they laugh!  tada!! oh my the elders are soo funny! i love them! me and sis R are funnier though ;) still getting our daily abb workout! I hate shaving. and wearing clothes! the end lol

 

LOVE the coolest Sis Miss Evar

P.s. Elder Cooper: "Your the worst trainer ever!" Elder Jolley: "Shut. Up!" Elder Cooper: "yes Master"

Best conversation in the world! oh oh oh!! I found out this weeek that me and elder Cooper have the same birthday!! January 6 1994!! WAAAAATTTTT!!?!?!???!?!?!! my mind is blown!! that is my birthday!!!!!!!! haha good thing I love elder Cooper otherwise this would have gotten ugly! i have decided that me and sis R are pretty cool missionaries. haha I am blunt but christ like blunt ;) and sis R has an amazing testimony that others can relate to! im working on bringing out my spiritual side :)

3rd Letter 3.4.13

Hey Ya'll!!

 

yeah it is still weird for me to say that!  i love saying that though ahhaha! ok so the news of this past week.. hmm tons happened! it was our week with the car! hallah! and it was a wee bit chilly this week... chilly! crazy right. yeah it feels like spring time in utah! all i need is a jacket :) were working with the johnson family. the gma is inactive and so is the daughter Robin, the gmas ex-daughter in law has been excommunicated a few times. in the house that is basically a one floor house lives 8 people! Robin is the only working person in the house and she works at walmart. robin has 3 kids joseph who is 8 hailey who is 6 and alyssa who is 3! cuttest kids alive! were working with joseph and his parents (robin and her boyfriend, ray ray who is basically there dad cause hes been there for them for 3 years ) said it was ok! YAY! his baptism is on the 30th! we're so excited for him!! everytime we go over all the kids are so excited! they love us! its hard not to run and hold them! ahh! they climb all over us though we try so hard to keep them off of us! gaa theyre sooo dang cute!! we're also working with robin and gma to get them to go back to church. Rayray isnt a member so he is our gator right now ;) (oh we call investigators gators! haha) the houses here are so dirty! its just sad! all the animals have flea's and when we sit on couches or chairs cockroaches crawl out of the cushions! they bite i swear they do! so many bugs! ahh! gross! we caugh a mosquito under a cup the other day so im hoping its dead today when we clean lol we went legit tracting this week! it is probably the most depressing thing ive done yet! there are some rude people in this world! everyone is a baptist here! gaaa! satan is a jerk! he has worked his way into these peoples lives and ruined it! it makes me so upset! slammed doors are so rude! but the day we went tracting we gave out 10 BoMs!! YeAY! we're giving people chances to see that this is the true gospel!! its just hard! I think our job here in this area is to prepare the ward and strengthen them, so when other missionaries come and people get baptised there is the support from the ward. because right now there is none! the youth are dying! there is honestly only one active youth... sad sad sad! But we love everyone! haha seriously... everyone! it is weird how much i love people! even the super dirty ones! lol

 Ok Sister Rappleye! My other half! abb workouts everyday because we laugh so hard!! she was raised in Cali but moved to syracuse utah she is a nurse and a phlebotomist! she has been in florida for 6 weeks now? haha she told me something that the sisters do so i will tell you too... ok for each month a sis miss is here you add 5 years! and that is your age! haha!! So im almost 5 years old! she is nearly 15yrs! does that make sense? we told the elders but they didn't understand and thought it was weird haha we laughed so hard! she quotes movies and is basically the happiest  person i know! her fav color is blue, we love to make fun of our sweet elders who live two streets over in the same apt complex. Elder Jolley and Elder Cooper! both from idaho. they are soooo cute!! They make the funniest faces sometimes! i love them so much! i wish i could tell them that and than hug them... but i cant so i hug sis R instead haha she is soo intune with the spirit its isane! she is my idol right now! the way the spirit talks through her is amazing! i want that! hahaha Im good with talking to the people and becoming friends and making them feel comfortable but when it comes to bringing the spirit so strong that they cry? well i haven't learned that quiet yet! every youth we meet think were super cool sis miss.! awesome! we are so awesome together! we're are so alike! i love it! I love her! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!! XD

I love all the chocolate and goodies Im getting and so does sis rappleye :) we share! recently we havent been getting any mail. so something must be going on with the mailman... we shall go interrogate him today to find out! haha sometimes when we open our box and see nothing there, we close it and open it again. than do that like 20x in a row ahhahahaha the neighbors probably think were crazy!!! hmmm what else is happening with me>.... so much! but i cant think right now! ... lol ok well ill go teach some more people and than come back next week with some awesome stories for ya'll!

My Mission Call 12.12.12

On 12.12.12 my mission call arrived but I had no idea! We were at my sister's wedding the whole day so we weren't able to check the mailbox for my call.. But my parents know our wonderful mail woman and early that morning when she was sorting the mail found my letter. She my dad and told him it was there so my dad quickly ran over and picked up the letter. He hid it in a duffle bag and then took my sister, mom and grandma Christine to the Salt Lake temple so that she could get married. The whole day of the wedding only my mom and dad knew. Throughout the reception my parents were telling people to stay after the reception once my sister and her husband left because there was a great surprise! I was excited to see what it was but did not think that it would have been my mission call.  

My dad got up on stage and asked me to join him

He whipped out this envelope and I cried ha ha

This is right after I read that I am serving in Tallahassee, Florida!!

Sooo exciting!!!

This is where things all began!
