Hey everyone!

Thank you for reading this today, i come to you from tallahassee florida! woo! haha im not moving anywhere for transfers! yay! me and sister garten are staying together woop woop! This week has had so many events all jamed packed into seven days... weird!! so we taught our mailman this past monday night, and he had invited 2 other people... and they had come to bash us! like hard core, we couldnt even say much. they would ask us a question and we would answer it and testify than they would be like "NO!" and they were flipping through the bible bringing up scriptures like it was toilet paper! phew craziness! we looked at each other and knew what to do. we needed to leave, now. so we testified of the Book of Mormon, and shared the first vision. they yelled... no not yelled but said very meanly Blasphemy! who says that! haha aweful! it was aweful!! they didn't believe that God would come down to people, in the bible it says... and you shouldn't add on to the bible because here it says... etc etc etc. we tried our best! we tried to direct the spirit towards the mailman, because he wasn't even speaking a lot. hmmm  how can i put it so you'll feel it more... its like trying to talk to someone who won't stop talking, and they just get louder everytime you try to say something. SO we testified and left. we got into the car and just cried. and cried all the way home. then cried some more. i have officially learned that when im crying, i can not say a prayer out loud! awful! i just can do it without crying even harder. so sis g had to finish my prayer for me :) she is so sweet! over all it was hard! they are so hard hearted and their ears were deaf for they did not listen to anything we said, the spirit was in our hearts trying to comfort us. He is so sweet. but it didn't touch those people. It was even worse when they outspokenly, bluntly and rudley yelled blasphemy in our faces. we could really see how close to God with there lips they were and how far away they were to God with their hearts. they would say one thing and say another then act another way! it was really sad. so sad. and the weird thing is. they invited us back...? A few days later we went back. (i know so dumb) but there was something in the mailman that he needed to hear. we brought a convert Kathy Lopez. it was just the mailman this time. his questions were hard to answer and we dont feel like we answered them very well. he more or less just wanted to prove which church was right. we met his adorable wife :) and the really cool part was that 2 years ago elders gave him a Book of Mormon, and he kept it. he brought it out! we told him that he could read things about the Book of Mormon forever but never know the truth of it until he reads the actual Book of Mormon! he wasn't ready for the gospel now. but i know for a surety that somday he will. Its strange how i know. but its like when we were at sister bowdens house and she was sobbing because she found out she doesn't have much longer to live and what not, i know that everything will be ok! i know that our mailman and his family will get baptized one day! and it will be awweessoommmee!!!!!!!!!

We also had a sister conference!! wooo!! wednesday night all the sisters in our mission came together! there is 42 of us right now. and pres jensen and sis jensen fed us all and gangus grill! yummmm! than we met and had like a talent night :) no i didnt do anything... im talent shy! hahahaha  then we had 4 sisters come sleep with us in our apt! SLEEPOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so fun!! oh my! i took pictures of so many sisters!! awesome awesome!! me and sis g gave up all the beds and our couch and we slept on the floor. earlier that week we taught about how we always fall alseep on the floor! but i dont know what happened. that night was aweful! we couldn't sleep very well, and we just giggled and laughed about it for a while! ya know how when your suppost to be quiet and asleep, everything just gets super funny? yep that is what happened! hahahah awesome. it was a bad idea to sleep on the floor but oh well :) the conference was awesome!! ill attach some quotes and stuff i got out of it thats in my planner :) so our cute little gator gabriel! he came to church yesterday! he loved it! and some of the young men gave him ties to wear next sunday! how cute! i love it!! he loves church!! yessss! so on thursdays we have weekly planning where we plan for the next week and we have prayed and felt that 3 people are ready to be baptized this next transfer!!!3!!!!!!! oh my!!!!! so were feelin it! and we have SO much work to do!! no time to play! haha jk i love it!

being a missionary is so dang fun! woooo!!

We had a ward festival activity saturday! so much fun! face paint, snow cones, hot dawgs. arm wrestling!!!! elder rhoades and elder mchperson arm wrestled and elder mcpherson won hahaha then me and sis g arm wrestled.... I WON!!!!!! wooo! i think she let me win though.. not sure bout that though, she wasn't too happy.... awkward... hahaha i was laughing! im so muscular!!  oh my so much fun!! we helped with the food most of the time. we had one non member we invited come, he stayed with the elders so that was good! and so it could have been more non members... but it was still sssssssoooooooo awesome!!!

during ward council, president brock. he is a bigger guy and he is just a tank basically haha we have chips left over from the festival and someone said to use chips instead of bread for the sacrament.. as a joke haha pres brock said that if it happened to him he'd say "What?!? No Bread?? A Chip!?" hahaha oh my if only i could say it for yall!! so dang funny!!!! so in the sistermilnepedia i think it would be funny! hahahhaha

We watched the leadership conference! OH MY GOSH!! so awesome!! i cant wait till missionaries get technology to use! we heard a rumor about us getting ipads?? that is just to sick to handle!! well that is all the major events for this week! sorry its sooo long!!!

LOVE
SISTER MILNE

EVERYONE! prayerfully consider which of your friends are ready to meet with the missionaries! it'll bless your life so much!

An invitation given in love will never be offensive to others. so go share the gospel

wishing will not make it so. it takes action!

help is always there when there's fait.
