<div>
So how are you doing? How is the missionary work going and how are<br />
you really doing? <em><span style="color: #9900ff;"><strong>I am doing well, the work Is great and I am doing really well!! ;) </strong></span></em><br />
<br />
Question time:<br />
1. Update on investigators and reactivation?</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">Angel passed her baptism interview and she is getting baptized on the 11th we are stoked and she is already inviting her friends to take the missionary discussions.</span></em></strong></div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">Angelina we picked up last week and she is progressing well, her husband is reading the book of Mormon and he isn't even an investigator...yet!</span></em></strong></div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">Brian is a special soul...he is into deep doctrine and we are working really hard with him to just realize that the doctrine of Christ is simple.</span></em></strong></div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">Royce is a less active and he is doing well, we were doing the quit smoking program with him and he did great...until angels dad died this week and Royce smoked one cigarette....but we have been praying for him so we know the lord will continue to bless him with the strength to overcome temptation. </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
2. Favorite talk at conference and why?</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">oh man General Conference was absolutely amazing! I have a few favorite talks.. I loved Elder Wilford W. Anderson from the seventy, when he said " I can teach you to dance but you have to hear the music." and how he talked about precise alignment when It comes to being in tune with the spirit. I also loved Elder Dale G Renlunds talk I love the quote that he said " A saint is a sinner who keeps on trying" and "we know perfectly well, that we aren't perfect." his talk was funny, when he said " if we don't try we are latter-day sinners, if we don't persevere, we are latter-day quitters, and if we don't allow ourselves to change we are latter-day hypocrites." and then of course Elder Hollands talk is the one that I would share with investigators who think that the atonement of jesus Christ doesn't work for them or if they think life is about quitting or giving up, he hit it home for me this year! general conference was just great! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
3. Favorite opportunity for service this week was and why?</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">an older women in our ward, sister wheeler had a stroke and is in the hospital and we got to go visit her and share scriptures with her, that was amazing and she reminded me of my great grandma Stuart when I would go up with my grandpa sometimes and help out after her strokes, she is just a sweet heart. we are going to dye eggs today and take them to her because that is her favorite thing to do on easter but didn't get to do it this year so we are doing it for her. </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
4. How did you spend Easter? Any new traditions or something you liked doing?</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">Sister Harman and I watched General Conference and then the weeds a family in the ward invited us over for dinner and then we shared the easter egg lesson with them that my mom sent to me in a package (thank you) and watched the "because he lives" video with people that we had invited to learn! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
5. I looked out the window of my apartment (or door) today and saw...</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">the post office....mainly because that is right across the street ;) but also it is a beautiful day in Morrisville, Vermont!! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
6. A goal for the week is?</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">A goal for this week is to knock on a car window and invite that person to learn about the gospel...I did it last night but I loved it so I am going to do it again this week!! and to get 3 new investigators by prayerfully selecting 10 potential investigators and visiting them this week and getting return appointments!! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
7. My companion and I bonded this week over<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">...</span></em></strong></div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">sister Harman and I had a wicked pillow fight during call ins with our sister training leaders....sister Harman is fantastic...and we love ben and jerrys ice cream out here...the actual factory is here...in Vermont and like 25 minutes away from our apartment!!</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
8. Favorite tracking experience this week, good or not so good.</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">We ran into a yak! someone out here owns a yak...it was crazy! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
9. Last song that helped you through something..</div>
<div>
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">I know that my redeemer lives! </span></em></strong><br />
<br />
10. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ and I felt his love most this week when...<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: #9900ff;">the lord knows who I am and knows what I need, in general conference something was said that just answered my pressing question of "have I really done any good" or have I don't all that I can do to please my father in heaven so far on my mission and they were answered by President Uchhtdorf when he talked about us being saved by grace AFTER all we can do not BECAUSE of all that we can do....and after all what can we do? and in Micheal T. Ringwoods talk he said " the service that is most important to god will only be recognized by god!" Elder Renlund also said "God doesnt care about who we once were but who we are and who we are becoming. as William shakspear mentioned in one of his plays " twas I...but tis not I" I know that my redeemer lives and I know that through the enabling power of the atonement of jesus Christ, we can feel the love that our father in heaven has for us. how grateful I am for this wonderful opertunity I have to welcome gods children back into the fold.</span></em></strong></div>

well Royce and Angel got married this weekend and it was amazing to be apart of that, sister Harman and I were able to be the witnesses and sign legal documents for the church..how neat is that? so neat!! Angel is getting baptized on <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1159491176" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">April 11th</span></span> and she is progressing so well, her testimony of the savior and of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is beautiful.</div>
<div>
<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week has been rough but I know that our savior is aware and mindful of us and he will bless us when we turn to him. Sister Harman and I are looking for the people the lord has prepared and who are ready to receive us, its not easy buts its worth every struggle. Something that I have learned about myself this week is that I am strong! not physically but I am strong in every aspect of my life, I know that when life is hard that I want to push through and not give up on myself or on the savior, I don't mean to be prideful of boastful but we as members of the church need to know that we are strong! Sister Harman is a beast at being a missionary, she just loves the people and something that I learned about her is she all about charity, We had our zone conference at the JSM on Friday and we learned that Charity never faileth, and Jesus Christ had charity...therefore he never failed! that was also mentioned by president Eyring in the General Women's broadcast, sister Harman and I have used what we learned this week in our zone conference and women's conference in our teaching efforts, and how the gospel really does bless our families. I would have to say my favorite part about the Conference was that it was focused on the family and that if we don't think we are apart of a family, we are all apart of gods family. I am so grateful to know that we are gods children and we are apart of h is divine and sacred plan and family.</div>

so this week sister Harman and I had lots of moments where we could grow and strengthen our companionship with each other and with the lord, so get this, we are driving down this road...mind you New England has 5 seasons...MUD SEASON! so driving down this muddy road while sister Harman is listening to a VERY important voicemail to get a phone number we really really needed for service this weekend,and just as I am turning around on this really really muddy road...sister Harman drops the phone and...presses # 7 you guessed it DELETED!!!! and then I get distracted and guess who gets stuck in the mud...yupp...the sister missionaries in Lamoille valley.... well sister Harman is so kind to go out and try to push our only 2 wheel drive car out of the mud and of course I am on the gas pedal and guess who covers her comp in mud...I DID! so my companion Is covered in mud from head to toe... I am laughing so hard that...I LITTERALLY wet my pants...no joke it happened...and so sister Harman and I car soaked from the rain and covered in mud, we decide to say a prayer to have someone kind enough to stop and help us out.. so we decided to look more helpless...and three kind men stopped and had to pull us out... well earlier that day we called a lady in our ward to confirm a dinner appointment that we totally forgot about last week and we tell her we will be there that night at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1159491177" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">six thirty</span></span>...well guess who forgot our dinner appointment again..THE SISTER MISSIONARIES!!! ahhhhh!! oh and we were dropped by two of our investigators!! that same day...... prayer is powerful brothers and sisters...and I know that the lord is mindful of us and will bless us according to our needs if it is his will to do so.<br />

<div>
Well, the sleeping patterns are still weird I try to do the things that have worked in the past but I find myself not getting up on time and exercising with my companion, so there is still things I need to work on with being diligent to the mission rules, I feel that I am progressing slowly, although I feel that I am more confident with Sister Harman, she doesn't know that she has helped me with some of my confidence problems, I just have a hard time talking to strangers, but she is such a great <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6541067444887992991#" id="_GPLITA_6" in_rurl="http://s.ltmmty.com/click?v=VVM6ODY4Nzg6NDpleGFtcGxlczo1NjNiNWVhYTJmNmQ4MzBhZjYzNjMzMzZjMDgyNTI5MDp6LTE3NTAtMTM4NzI5NTA6d3d3LmJsb2dnZXIuY29tOjI1NjI1MzowOGJkZjA5NDkxYjdiZDk0NzQ4NTIwYTMzOWQ1MGE1Njo5OTRmZjY5MzI4NTE0MmRjOGE2YTc1YTVmN2IxOTA4MzoxOmRhdGFfc3MsNzI4eDEzNjY7ZGF0YV9mYixubzs6NTE0NjIyMg&subid=g-13872950-d29c3044627f419783034e661fbc1652-&data_ss=728x1366&data_fb=no&data_tagname=P" style="background: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; text-indent: 0px !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by WildWestCoupon">example<img src="https://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; text-indent: 0px !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a> of putting fear aside and just doing the lords work. Sister Harman is doing so well, she has been struggling with getting up and exercising as well but I am almost sure that it is because I don't get up either so this week a goal of mine is to be obedient to the rules and to work really hard to get up on time and to exercise so that I can do all that I can to help her out with her goal this week.<br />
<br />
A blessing that I have experienced this week from living the Christ like attribute obedience is while I was studying Obedience in preach my gospel this week I studied the question, "why does the lord expect us to be diligent?" and I was reading in Moroni chapter 9 which is the second epistle of Mormon to his son Moroni, but verse 6 says to labor diligently, and if we do so, we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of god. I thought that was neat, I have been doing a lot of studying on diligence and obedience because I know that this is something that I often struggle with, but I came across my Mission call letter and as I was reading it I came across a paragraph that says, " The lord will reward you for the goodness of your life, Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the lord in this labor of love among his children." I have been looking for promised blessing that come from serving a mission because so many people ask we serve a mission and that we don't have to in order to be saved and so I thought it would be good to have a good answer the next time I was asked that question. I was reading in John chapter 4 verses 35 and 36 which read: " lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are white already to harvest and he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life eternal that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together." so what I have learned from all of this is that I am do all that the lord asks of me including the things that are hard to do like getting up on time and exercising, even though it might sound silly but the small things are what help up accomplish the big things!! I am willing to work as hard as I can to receive all of these promised blessings that I have studied from being obedient.<br />
<br />
The only area of concern is getting up on time and exercising with my companion.

our investigators: Angel is finally gaining a testimony for herself which is fantastic to see the changes in her!<br />
we had to semi-drop Judy, she wont get baptized until her son Is out of jail and it sounds like that might not ever <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6541067444887992991#" id="_GPLITA_9" in_rurl="http://s.ltmmty.com/click?v=VVM6ODY4Nzg6NDpoYXBwZW5pbmc6NGQ4YTIxOTc2ODA5NWJjZjc3NGY3MTU0NWFmMjEwNzE6ei0xNzUwLTEzODcyOTUwOnd3dy5ibG9nZ2VyLmNvbToyNTYyNTY6ODY1YWNiZmU5NDE2YzJmYjkyYTMzNTU1Njk2Y2JmYWU6ZTQ0ZjRmZmFiNTljNGVhN2I5YWU1NGU5MDBkM2Q0MDA6MTpkYXRhX3NzLDcyOHgxMzY2O2RhdGFfZmIsbm87OjU1NDAwMzc&subid=g-13872950-d29c3044627f419783034e661fbc1652-&data_ss=728x1366&data_fb=no&data_tagname=P" style="background: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; height: auto !important; margin: 0px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; text-indent: 0px !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; vertical-align: baseline !important; width: auto !important;" title="Click to Continue > by WildWestCoupon">happen<img src="https://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png" style="background: transparent !important; border: none !important; display: inline-block !important; float: none !important; font-weight: bold !important; height: 10px !important; margin: 0px 0px 0px 3px !important; min-height: 0px !important; min-width: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; text-decoration: underline !important; text-indent: 0px !important; text-transform: uppercase !important; vertical-align: super !important; width: 10px !important;" /></a>..so we told her our purpose as missionaries and she understood, that was hard to do but it needed to happen.<br />

<div>
Well I received a transfer call this week!! I am going to be training a new missionary and I might get to drive a jeep if I am transferred to Dover!! I hope that is the case anyway haha or I will be headed to Bedford where I would be in my Mission Presidents Ward!! so either way I am super excited! I will get you my new address next week or send it in a letter this week, I will get to see elder guinn on Tuesday before he goes home, I am excited for that. well this week was a long one, all three of us got the flu..wasn't fun be we did a lot of work in the area book and cold calls to formers and potentials, our goal this week is to get 4 new investigators and 105 ITLS this week so we will be working extra hard to find people to teach.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Mission conference this week was amazing!! We got to meet Elder Hallstrom the president of the 70! (maybe the area 70 I cant remember) as well as Bishop Causse and Elder Bennett of the area 70, they are so great!! we had a lot of council from them and so many funny stories about president monson,</div>
<div>
so the funniest thing that has happened this week was it was 20 degrees outside and we decided to have a water fight and I totally lost I was standing outside our bathroom window on the second floor and sister spangler dumped freezing cold water on me without me knowing and our neighbors got involved and my hair literally froze!! it was the best day ever!! sister tucker video taped it the whole time!! we also had a WWE smackdown in the apartment! that's how we did our companionship inventory!! it was AWESOME!!</div>
<div>
and I totally burped on accident at the lunch in after our mission conference and I did not realize that president stoker was waiting to talk to me...so yeah that was uh embarrassing!! but he was pretty impressed!! sister stoker...not so much! she is very well mannered.<br />

something that I learned about myself this week was that i can use sign language with out even thinking about it! i had the chance this week to talk to an elder here who is deaf and has a cochlear implant, but i walked up to him and introduced myself in sign and the look on his face was priceless, i think the lord really blessed me with that experience because i don't even remember what i said to him! but it seems as though he needed that conversation to happen! it was super neat!<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
The Doctors appointments went really well, turns out that i am extremely healthy, they are still looking into the Crones Disease but as of right now, they still aren't sure! I have lost 15 pounds and the doctor is amazed with how strong my heart is and my lungs are great! (that was for you mom, i knew you were curious) I am doing really well<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Well i have to cut my email time short today so i can finish my driving training stuff but i love you all and will let know where i am headed after transfers!!! ]</div>

have a great week love you all</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Transfers are next Wednesday, we get the transfer call either Friday or Saturday this week. I have had many promptings this week that i will be getting transferred but as always I will let you know the news once I have received it. My heart is full. I have seen the lords hand more in my life this week then I ever have. We had exchanges with our Sister Training Leader Sister Magnusson this week, and many miracles took place during those two days she was with Sister Spangler and I, We had two full days of tracting, we dedicated ourselves to finding those the lord is preparing to hear his message and what a wonderful feeling that was to know that if we are striving to do the lords work our efforts will not go unnoticed. We were able to find a Potential investigator through our power hour, her name is Lisa and she asked us to come back and share a message with her so we are setting up a time with her this week.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We are working with our less-actives in our ward and they are doing such an amazing job recognizing the blessings they have already received and i know that its not because of the sister missionaries but because of their desire to their father in heaven, to finally realize that the atonement of Jesus Christ really does work! that is truly amazing to me to know that there are those out there who don't know that there is something that can change their lives and we have the privilege to go out and share that with them. Cindy Farrell is someone who has set a huge example for me. She has stopped smoking and drinking coffee and alcohol all on her own, and is finding a new place to live so she can live the law of chastity, all because she loves the savior! and wants to return to her father in heaven, I know that through the atonement she will feel the love that the lord has for her and that she will be happy again. she is an amazing women of god! This week we have a mission wide conference because Elder Hallstrom from the Seventy will be coming to address us, we are excited to hear the uplifting words that he will be sharing. we have two new investigators again this week. all of our investigators are all so prepared. all we have to do is extend the invitation to be baptized, which is overwhelming but that is when I can feel the love that the lord has for his people is through that invitation.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Sister Spangler and Sister Tucker are two amazing women and missionaries, they know how to discern the needs of the people we are teaching, although often times we as missionaries are not just teaching but learning along side them. we are not perfect teachers but we are to act as guides and to do our best to help them understand the fundamentals of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the message that we share wont come to a full understanding all at once, it will all happen over time, but as long as we are doing our part, the holy ghost will manifest all things that we should know and I know that when we all come to know that Jesus is the Christ and that Joseph Smith is a prophet of god and that only through him was this gospel restored we will be happy, we will feel the overwhelming love that he has for us, and we will want to share the good news to those the lord has placed in our paths each and everyday.<br />

The lord knows exactly what we need and in the exact moment we need those things, I can testify that this is true, i have seen it here in Sanford, i have seen the atonement work right before my eyes this week was more busy with the work than ever. My favorite scripture this week is Enos 1:4-5 it talks all about the power of prayer and the atonement of Jesus Christ. i came across it in my personal study yesterday morning, and the spirit just testified to me that the direct communication with our father in heaven is essential to finding the answers we long to find.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
My companions and I work so well together and teach well together it is just amazing to know that the lord really does work through his full-time missionaries and all we have to do is open our mouths so that we can be blessed with the words that he would have us say.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
well my lovely family and friends i love each and every one of you, and i know that you are all a blessing to me and I know that as you come to know your father in Heaven and as you strengthen your relationship with the holy ghost that you will feel his love and you will be blessed!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I would invite you to find just a small moment during the day to stop and say a prayer to your father in heaven and thank him for the miracle that you were able to witness this week, so will you pray and thank your father in heaven for the miracle that took place in your life this week?<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
i promise that as you do this you will recognize the blessings in your life that you have already received and you will continue to receive those promised blessings that the lord has in store for you. </div>

I miss you all so much, each of you have been in my prayers this week, and thank you for all of your prayers! this week has been full of miracles but first an update on the past 3 weeks. well as you may know there has been a couple of snow storms and new England has received a lot of snow! and when that happens the mission gets grounded meaning we aren't allowed to use the cars, and also they have snow days out here so when school is cancelled the library is closed, so there has not been a way to email so I am sorry about all of that but I am enjoying the weather its beautiful. so transfers also happened 5 weeks ago, I stayed here in Maine, and I received 2 companions, so I am in another trio! it is amazing, sister tucker is from snowflake Arizona, and sister spangler Is from cotton wood heights in salt lake city, I love serving with these sisters, they are truly amazing and have such wonderful testimonies! we have had much success here, we just picked up 4 new investigators all through street contacting!! we also knocked doors as well and that's where we found Rick, he lives in Wells, literally right on the beach, we were beach contacting and we knocked on his door and he let us in and we have had 2 lessons with him since, he is currently on vacation in Costa Rica.then we have Donald, who we met on the street on his way to the ice rink in town, he plays on the professional hockey team here in new England! he has already commited to baptism! then we have Debbie and Chris, we met them at the store, Debbie walked up to me and started tapping in my name tag and I was kind of nervous as to why this women was doing this, and then she asked, your a Mormon aren't you? and I said well yes I am, I am a missionary for the church of jesus Christ of latter day saints, and she said I have always wanted to be one of those, how do I become like you? when she said that all 3 of us were so lost and confused and didn't know what to do!!! so we set up an appointment with her and we met with her on Saturday and she and her boyfriend were interested, but then she invited us to her wedding so we went to their wedding on Sunday it was so cool! they go to a non denominational church called river of life, and we stayed for the entire service which was weird but neat to see how others worship, they had bits and pieces of the doctrine of Christ but also some other things that really just didn't make any sense to me what so ever, but I love them so much they were welcoming and so kind, we also were able to teach lori our other investigator, she isn't really ready for baptism yet but she is willing to continue the lessons until she can know for herself that this is what the lord wants for her! we are still searching for those the lord has prepared for us to meet. we are blessed with the courage to say what the lord would have us say in the 33rd section of the Doctrine and covenants its says" open your mouths and they shall be filled" what that teaches is that if we are willing to trust in the lord whole heartedly and learn to discern the needs of those we are teaching we will be diligent in opening our mouths and he will bless us with the words he would have us say! many miracles take place each and everyday, I am so grateful to be one of those who has the chance to be apart of these miracles. We had a less active this week named Cindy Farrell who didn't want the missionaries to bother her anymore so we stopped contacting her, she sent us a text message saying " how do I get an ensign?" and we said well we can work that out for ya, and asked how she was doing, and then no response, so sundae comes around and there is Cindy Farrell, walking through the chapel doors beautiful as ever, well while all of this is happening, we are at choir and I fall to the chair and place my head in my hands and I am just sobbing, how grateful I am for the atonement of Jesus Christ and the love that he has for each and everyone of us, he has been preparing here to come back to church and she did it on her own she took a cab and came to church! how great is that? man the church is true!! that was for you Uncle Larry ;) we are loving the work out here and the people the lord places in our lives. I have learned so much this week form my savior, that love is all that he is and all that I want to become, I know he has a grater plan for me and my companions, and because he loves us we can share that love that he has for others. so here is the fun stuff that we did!!! well we do volunteer work at a horse farm and sally one of the horses is gonna pop any day now!!! that's right a baby horse!!!!! we are just waiting for the call so we can go help out! I am so stoked! and we had a mini mission with a yw in here in our ward, sarah wright whose sister comes home tomorrow from her mission, and we had sister baskos daughter Rachel come home from her mission last week from Tiawan! and we have been to the ocean like every day this week cause its the first week it hasn't snowed!!! thank goodness, and GUESS WHAT!!! I HAD LOBTER BISQUE!! AND IT WAS FANTASTIC OH AND I ALSO HAD WILD SHRIMP AND SCALOP AND POTATOE CHOWDER AND I LOVED IT!!!! I think my tasted buds are changing out here!! man sea food out here is good!!! we have a huge mission meeting on march 7th with a general authority coming we don't know who yet, and we all think we might be finally getting ipads,so I will update you all on that next time! I am loving it here and I know that you all doing so well back home, congrats to cole and sam! wish you the best, and also happy birthday to madi and to ryan! and happy valentines day and congrats to Dylan and his baptism, and tell tara that I love and wish her and her family the best where ever life takes them! if i missed anyone im sorry but i do love you very much!!!</div>

Update on investigators and reactivation efforts:</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Lori: we had to drop her this week....sad day! but we will continue to pray for her and for the lord to soften her heart so that she will want us to come teach her agian!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Michelle: She has been vacation in Florida for 3 weeks so we will hopefully see her this week</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Dorothy Maguire: A less active who came to church for the first time on sunday in 15 years!!! Sister Blume and I Cried in the lobby at church! we have been working on her and it has been a huge blessing to see her at church.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Valorie Daniels: A less active who came to church again this week, and we are preparing her for the temple! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Noreen Harlow: We are still trying to get her to church and continue to work with her and the WOW!<br />
<br />
2. Transfers--what is happening with them? Who? What? When? Where?<br />
new address please..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Sister Blume is going Sister Training Leader so she will be leaving me, I am staying in Sanford President Stoker gave me two options that could possibly happen at transfer Meeting on thursday,I will either stay as junior companion or i will be in another TRIO and i will train a new missionary and be CO-SENIOR companion, so we will find out at transfer meeting! SO NO ADDRESS CHANGES :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
( they were supposed to be on Tuesday but we have a HUGE snow storm headed our way tonight, so they have grounded all the missionaries to the appartments, and we are not allowed to be outside until the storm passes which should be on thursday.)<br />
<br />
3. How do you make contacts in your area?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We do something called "power hour" where we go out for an hour and do out ITL's (invitations to learn), so basically street contacting that is manditory for this mission.<br />
<br />
4. Funniest moment of the week?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The APs(assistant to president) called us the night of transfer calls on saturday and asked sister blume to play the piano at transfer meeting, hahaha the funny part was we didnt know we were going to transfer meeting yet becasue president didnt call us yet for the transfer call...so the APs felt so bad! it was so funny!<br />
<br />
5. Favorite teaching moment?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Sister Blume and I are teaching the temple prep class for our ward and we have three less actives who are coming so we are so excited for that.<br />
<br />
6. What are your thoughts/feelings about your Mission President and his wife?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I LOVE PRESIDENT STOKER AND SISTER STOKER.....enough said...just kidding, they are amazing!!!! they remind me of my aunt and uncle (Joe and Darcy) they are just so cute! like newly weds all the time i love it! they do so much for this mission and for helpling me with my sick stuff and sleep problems. they are so christ like it scares me to be in their presence.//just kidding i love them!<br />
<br />
7. My favorite part of "finding or reactivation is"...<br />
<br />
The testimony that it gives sister blume and I! its just amazing to see the atonement of jesus christ work right in front of you.<br />
8. The "Most Unexpected Moment" I had this week was...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
TRANSFER CALLS....I though sister blume and I would have one more transfer together but oh well!<br />
Rapid Fire:<br />
<br />
1. I laughed so hard when...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
the APs called us and secretly told us we were headed to transfer meeting<br />
<br />
2. My ward is great because...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
they make sure the missionaries are taken care of, and they provide the work for us here in Sanford.<br />
<br />
3. One way that Sister Blume and I are strengthening our companionship is...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We make sure that we know how much we love each other all the time, you have to have to have to love your companion, and serve her all the time, it helps with any contention that you have within the companionship</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
4. The Spirit was so strong as....</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
when we pray for the inspiration needed for sanford and kennebunk!<br />
<br />
5. One way I feel blessed as a missionary is..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We are set apart to do the lords work and to have the spirit with you all the time is just amazing!<br />
<br />
6. A goal I have for this upcoming week is..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
to align my will with gods will, to become the missionary the lord has prepared me to be!<br />
<br />
7. I love learning new things everyday. Today's "new thing" was...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The lord really does love me, and care for me, we are not alone, 88 thousand missionaries are serving all over the world to proclaim the good news, and he is proud of each and every one of us individually! i have felt the lords hand in my life as a missionary this week through my amazing companion sister Blume! she is just amazing! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
8. 3 things I am grateful for this week and why?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
President Stoker: because he receives the revelation that is needed for this mission.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Sister Blume: for all that she did to train me as a misionary!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Priesthood: well we all know why ;)<br />

All the libraries are closed but the bishop owns a hardware store on main street so he let us and the elders email here so we had to coordinate with elders and they just got done we went shopping for groceries, and then laundry, and then we were able to get to the hardware store and do emails, but the computers are really old and there is no way to hook the camera up to it, so next week i will have ALOT of pictures to send, and videos of us at the ocean!!<br />

zone conference was amazing i love president stoker! and i did pretty well on the talk and i did not even cry!! i know its hard to believe!<br />
<br />
6. How was your zone conference? What was your talk on? What did you Mission president share that you liked the most?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
like i have said previously before, zone conference was fantastic!! my talk was on the devine qualities of a sister missionary, president stoker shared mulitiple messages, but one that stuck out the most was that we as missionaries are the best teacher the church will ever have!! how neat is that??? pretty neat!<br />
<br />
7. What have you learned the most from Sister Blume?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
man!!! sister blume is just amazing! she has such a big heart, but i learned that every door that is slammed in our face is one more door that was opened in heaven, meaning that there is a place for them in the after life to be taught, pretty weird to think about but true!!<br />
<br />

2. Best companionship teaching experience this week was?<br />
we had exchanges this week with the sister training leaders, sister blume went to exeter with sister smith and i stayed in sanford and sister pankratz came to me, we were able to pick up a new investigator on saturday, it was an amazing experience, her name is Anne Doiran we prayed for an hour in the car to find her cause on her teaching record it didnt have any contact information and she had not been taught since july, so i prayed to know if the lord needs us to find her and at that moment i told sister pankratz that we need to drive into Rochester NH, which isnt our area but i called president stoker to get permission and it was so cool and GUESS WHAT we found her!!!!!!!!! so neat</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
3. How are the wards involved in the missionary efforts?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Well during ward council yesterday we introduced the oval chart again and gave specific assignments to each auxiliary and they committed to making a list of 15 names for us to go out and find and reactivate and teach.<br />
<br />
4. When was the last time you saw an answer to a prayer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On wednesday at scripture study class, i was struggling with not being able to see success in the area i was serving and sister blume and i pray for opportunities to see that success and we were able to when we had 5 of our less actives come to our scripture study class, i cried the whole time, and bishop shaw sat and talked with me and sister blume just to let us know that our efforts dont go unnoticed.<br />
<br />

<br />Isaiah 55:6 "seek ye the lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." its a good one, i just needed to seek for my savior and call upon him when i needed the strength to press forward when the work gets hard, i need to strive to become 'the fourth missionary"<br />8. 5 things I am thankful for from this past year 2014?<br /></div>

1. Update on investigators, reactivation, new member discussions?<br />Michelle-she told us that she wants to take a step back from her discussions so not really sure what is going on with her at the moment but we will always continue to meet with her cause she is Rheas mom! hehe ;) we taught 13 less actives this week and we are hoping that they all come to church this coming week, only 2 came this last week, and new member lessons are going really well with Rhea, she loves having the spirit with her she notices a big difference with her life and teaching stlyes by the way shes a school teacher!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />2. What has your mission president been doing to inspire the mission?<br /> What do you love about your mission president? President Stoker came to our Zone meeting that we had on Christmas eve and shared a brief message and then he talked to us individually and just let us know what our strengths are and why he needs them in this mission! I LOVE president because he has such a big heart, he is a convert himself, he was a Baptist and says that Baptists make the best Mormons...haha hes so funny, he was a convert of a year and then served a mission, he is like our dad our here, our mission parents, they take so good care of all of us and he is aware of our trials and does all that he can to help us on this crazy journey called LIFE!<br /><br /> 3. When was the last time you saw an answer to prayer?<br />the last time I saw an answer to my prayer was when sister blume and I were praying to know what to do after p day was over last week, we felt that we should walk main street and so we did and we had so many opportunities to talk to people and invite them to learn, it was amazing to see that with the faith that we have in our savior, he will bless us according to the work that we put forth.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />4. What has been your favorite Pday activity so far? What are you<br />doing for PDay today? How and where do you do laundry? Have you<br />washed your sheets lately?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
my favorite pday so far was with our district, we had a nerf gun war and played volleyball, we are deep cleaning the apartment today and hopefully having a lunch with some less actives, not too much fun planned for the day sister blume and I have been sick for the past two weeks and so we need to disinfect the apartment, we do laundry in the local laundry mat, its like 2 dollars per load and we usually have three loads, but if we cant afford the laundry mat we use the bath tub...and a cookie rack as a wash board... yeah were old school! yes I clean my sheets every week, that's why we have 2 sets so we can have a set while we clean a set, goodness mom I love you!<br />:)<br /><br /> 5. What are some of the local sayings and interesting things people<br />say in your area? so everyone puts an "r" at the end of a word that ends in the "A" sound so when we read the BOM they say things like mosiaher and zedekiaher or the bishop his name is bishop shaw but they say shar and arear and lawr and they say door yard instead of drive way, and they always say "you cant get there from here" cause all the roads are paved according to cattle trails, so not a single road connects to any other road its so weird... and they say "a couple three miles" its like a foreign country here in new England and they all say "im all set" which means im good or im ok thanks though its just the nice way that people turn you down.<br /><br />6. Who has been your favorite person you contacted this week?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
MY FAMILY!!! it was so good to see them all and I made my mom cry so that was cool! my brothers were there as well so that was nice to see them, it was weird seeing them and talking to them but I really enjoyed the time that was spent with them, its so weird the world did not stop spinning when I left, they have lives too hahah ;)</div>

We looked forward to seeing both our sister missionary today. Checked phones, computer connections, the clock constantly and made sure we were presentable. <br />
<br />
Riley was the first one we got to talk to at 1000 am. She was so happy and laughing. Her companion and her were there during the conversation. In the end, Riley and her companion taught the entire family the discussion on the Restoration. She has grown so much. I will try and get that video on here, but it is long and not sure the blog will let me add it. <br />
<br />
We were able to take a picture with Riley this Christmas with the boys and my heart was full. We were able to say a family prayer with her and I felt very blessed. <br />
<br />
She is still laughing and loves being a missionary. <br />

1. Update on investigators? Any new ones? New members coming back<br />
to church? Details on the baptisms. Rhea is doing really well, we had to move her baptismal date to the 20th because she failed to let us know that she had a drink of tea from her mom so we had to wait 14 days after the incident. Michelle is rheas mom, she isn't keeping her commitments so we are going to start at the fundamentals of the doctrine of Christ to see if that changes anything cause we don't want to drop her, so we are doing all we can to help her progress, Hannah is an RC, recent convert, we have been teaching her new member lessons and she is doing so well, I love to hear new converts pray it is so powerful. we are teaching a lot of less actives because our new mission vision Is to "RESCUE 1000 IN 2015" sister blume and I and I are so excited to be teaching these wonderful people!<br />
<br />
2. What was the BEST part of your week in the field?<br />
the best part of the week was when we were at our district meeting... we have an hour lunch afterwards and all of the elders in our district and then sister blume and I literally quoted the entire movie NACHO LIBREA!!!! hahaha it was awesome I love our district!!<br />

3. Favorite scripture of the week and WHY?<br />
the scripture of the week is Dallin Hunts mosiah <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_537093943" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">20:11</span></span> sister blume and I were praying the other night for ways to find new investigators and she came to me and said lets read this scripture and it was the one that my mom sent to me and it was dallins favorite missionary scripture so I started to cry and told her about the whole expierence and I told her the phrase "fight like a dragon" and we both cried and then that became our goal this whole month is to "FIGHT LIKE A DRAGON" to go out and to find those the lord has prepared for us to teach! man the church is true! (that's for you uncle larry)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
4. Best service opportunity this week?<br />
this week we had the opportunity to work with santa bills workshop, they do a workshop where families donate all of their old things they don't want or use anymore and they have the people who don't qualify for toys for tots or the salvation army, to come and do their "Christmas shopping" for their children and It was such an amazing experience to be apart of, to see the less fortunate people come and are able to have a Christmas for their families, it broke my heart to see how many people are having a hard time with Christmas, I am so grateful to know that jesus Christ is the spirit of Christmas!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br />
5. In what ways do you feel you have grown the most since being out<br />
in the field. I am not a shy person hahah I talk to random people I don't even know and im pretty sure they think im crazy! its so funny to see the looks on their faces ahaha! I have for sure noticed the confidence that I have for myself and for sister blume, our district gave us a hash tag name! its #KindofaBigdeal so now we say it all the time, sisters are pretty cool!<br />
<br />

D&C 88:80 it tells me in my patriarchal blessing to look at this from time to time so I did and is says: " That ye may be prepared in all things when I shall send you again to magnify the calling whereunto I have called you, and the mission which I have commissioned you." it helped me realize that I have a purpose as a missionary </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
8. My favorite part of the teaching process is...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
The KNOW FEEL DO, we us it to help us plan our discussions, what we want our investigators to KNOW at the end of the lesson, what they need to feel in order to know that what we are teaching is true, and what we are going to have them DO (invitations or commitments) in order to know that this is what the lords wants them to know.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
9. I am learning new things everyday. Today's new things was... that I am NOT inadequate, and that I am truly converted to the work and to the lord.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
10. I felt so blessed this week when..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
I woke up yesterday knowing that I was going to church to partake of the sacrament, it means so much more to me as a missionary then it did back home, I am grateful for that. I wish I was able to hold my parents in my arms when I am having a hard day but I feel your prayers so thank you!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Forever & Always,</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">last week wasn't so great)?</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">OH BOY! haha it was an amazing week we stayed pretty busy axcept for</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Saturday we had all our plans cancel and so we knocked doors for 4</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">hours that was hard, but other than that is was such an amazing week,</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the best part though would have to be having dinner at the temples</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">home, they have this HUGE house on the lake, its lake Winnipesaukee</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and the Romneys pop in every so often so that's pretty neat, its a</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">small branch but i like it, it reminds me of woodruff!</span><br />
<br style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> 6. How much time online do you get each P-Day? What do you do on Pday?</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">personal and comp study, and then we clean and then do emails and then</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">go shopping if we have the time cause its a 45 minute drive to the</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">store, and then we play ping pong with the branch misisonaries haha i</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">suck at it....its like impossible to be good at it. and then we have</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">been going to the lake and just sitting on a bench that the Marriotts</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">( yes the ones who own the Hotels) have dedicated to the missionaries</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Additional thoughts sent today:</span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
i came across a song its in the hymn book but alex boye was the one that i heard. its called when faith endures:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I will not doubt i will not fear, gods love and strength is always near, his promise helps me to find a piece of strength a piece of mind, i give my father willingly , my trust, my prayers, humility, i give the father willingly, his spirit guides his love is sure, the fear departs when faith endures.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
i love that because when our faith is strengthened we know that all of our fears and doubts disappears, he is our comfort and we if we give our whole heart he will give us his full attention, life isn't easy and our savior jesus Christ knew that and that's why he suffered the atonement, president spencer w Kimball "Very frequently people think they have repented and are worthy of forgiveness when all they have done is express sorrow or regret at the unfortunate happening, personal suffering is a very important part of repentance. one has not begun to repent until he has suffered intensely for his sins, if a person hasn't suffered, he hasn't repented."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
i know that i have been through so much in my life before serving a mission and i have most defiantly been through a lot as a missionary, i fell to my knees one night sobbing because i was disobedient to my savior, and i suffered for it, i knew what i had done was wrong and i sobbed because i was ready to be done, i wanted to badly go pack up and go home. but i felt the hand of my savior pull me from up off the ground and he held me, he knew that that was what i needed... i know that we only feel a small portion of what our savior felt, but i know that he is right beside us as we suffer, he had no one on his side as he suffered the pain that we would one day have to face, i know he is there and i know that when we weap, he weaps with us, i know that when were are hurting he is right there hurting with us, brothers and sisters, the moment we think think we know all there is to know about the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the exact moment heavenly father tells us that we don't know enough, i invite you to really focus on the atonement and to really come to understand what it really is and what the savior really suffered through all because HE SIMPLY LOVES US.... how grateful i am to be an instrument in the lords hands, to do his work and to be his servant in his vineyard, i promise that as we strive to become more like him we will come to know the path we are to take which leads directly towards him, i want you to know that i love this gospel and i love that i am a full time missionary i love that this is my job to go and to teach and to bring others unto our savior, i hope that even though you aren't full time missionaries that you are still recognizing that member missionary work is how we find those the lord has prepared for us to teach. i love my savior and i love the work i was called to do. i say all of these things in the name of our savior jesus Christ, amen.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Today has been such an amazing opportunity to come closer to Jesus Christ, his love surrounds us each and every day, and little do we know how often the Holy Ghost really truely does keep us protected from the world. I know that through our faith in Jesus Christ we can know of a surity that our Heavenly Father loves us, and He loved us enough to atone for our sins and to sacrifice himself so that we can one day return to his presence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Last night was a really difficult night, my companion and I were able to teach one of our investigators Sarah, she is actually from New Hampshire and she is attending BYU at the moment, but as we taught her the restoration and of the first vision, she became distant, and her attitude completely changed, we knew that the adversary was working hard on her, as well as my companion and i, the spirit was removed from the room and it was the most devistating feeling i have ever felt... we prayed to know what we should do to help her and we had an overwhelming feeling that we should not go back and teach her...it was the worst feeling in the world to feel that but i know that because the lord has a plan for her that this was the right decision. (Students from BYU come over to the MTC for the missionaries to teach who take on roles, so this was Riley's scenario)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Anyway I only have one day left in the MTC and then ill be on a plane to New Hampshire, I have loved the expierence iIhave had in the MTC and my testimony has grown. I know that this is where I am supposed to be and that I have had a lot that I needed to learn for myself, We need to be truly converted to the Lord before we can witness true conversion with our investigators and I feel that I have really truely converted to my savior. I love you all so much and I know that through faith in Jesus Christ and his atoning sacrifice we can come to know him and if we follow the testimony of Thomas S Monson that we will have the strength and courage to do what he would have us do! </div>
