Ok so I get to go to all sessions of general conference and I stay by the reflection pool between sessions. Which means if anyone goes to conference I can see them between sessions!!!! So make sure kels and katie know please! And just everyone!!! So if Pres Winn keeps the same rule that means I get to see Abby in Oct if she goes to conference. (which I know she will) haha.
We had new missionary training on Tuesday, it was interesting b/c we all had been out for 12 days at that point. But it was sooo good to see my old district!!!
Random story but I would like to tell you. So I was at a dinner apt on...saturday and I was cutting a roll and sis wang said be carful. I said oh its a better knife I will be fine. Right at that moment the better knife slipped and it cut me!!! Right between my middle finger and index finger! It hurt so bad! I was all bleeding at the dinner table. It was kind of funny.
People on date:
March
14-Tami- I am giving a talk on baptism.
20-Ying Yue. I have taught her lots and she is the one where I asked her to be baptized. She has only been in America for a month.
28- Dan Dan. You Jia, and Shu wen. They are all amazing girls!
April 24ish. Wendy. I dont know her chinese name. But she is so amazing!!! She loves for us to come over a teach! She is just an amazing woman!!
So the work is going. We had alot of lessons fall through the past few days but we found other ppl we could visit. Yesterday we did a Zone find with the Spanish elders so I went on exchanges with Sister Reyes. She speaks Spanish. haha. So still after 2 whole weeks I have only had ONE lesson in where we taught the whole lesson in English! haha. Oh!!! I did my very first door aproach yesterday with Sister Reyes! It's was kind of exciting but I was nervous at the same time. I know you are laughing right now because I have been on a mission for 2 weeks and still have never done a door aproach. It's just we don't have to go tracting!
Pres Monson's son conducted a baptism I went to on Monday. They look just alike but his son has hair. haha. Oh and some sisters in our mission went to a church sacrament meeting and in walks Pres. Monson!!!! He gave each of them a blessing!!!! How cool is that!! He blessed them that what they were praying for would happen!!! amazing!!!
Last week, fast Sunday, We went to 5 wards and bore our testimony in all of them....I was so tired after that. hahah. But we had lessons after that, dinner appt. and then Maricels baptism!!! It went really well. Before hand it didn't b/c her dad called out "sick" Maricel has postponed her baptism for 3 months to let her dad get ready to baptize her so we kind of had a hard time believing him...So we thought if we "threatened" that the ward mission leader would do it he would be like "ok I would do it" but it was so sad b/c he was soooo excited when we suggested that. He was like "yeah let him do it. " That would be great! So, the ward mission leader did it. But it was a great baptism and she was sooo happy!!!!
I don't remember if I told you but I am in the Millcreek zone. I cover the Olympus, MT Olympus north, and Mt. Olympus stakes. So, like I said that's 23 stakes.
Another thing I forgot to tell you, I am over the Russian program too. So later this week we will be teaching a Russian family!
Mom never feed missionaries lasagna! I have had that like 5 times!!!
Did you konw the original KFC is in Utah? B/c it is and we went to it on Monday (b/c missionaries get a discount).
I love that I am in the SLC misssion.... I just love being able to go to Temple Square with investigators and being able to watch the Testaments and the Restoration. So cool. I told Sister Wang that we need to start commiting people to baptism when we are in front of a statue of Jesus. They pretty much have to say yes. Haha.
So sorry to everyone that I e-mail and can't get back to. It's hard to e-mail everyone back.
Oh an FYI. I get mail every Monday. So I got your package on Monday!!! Thanks.
And Heather...well Sam. haha. Thank you sooo much for the pictures and note! I loved, loved, loved them! Oh and b/c I can't be with you now to help out with the pregnancy I put your name on the prayer roll when I go to the temple. It's the only thing I can do for you to help out.
The work is good, I don't have to much to report b/c we pretty much just teach everyone who is on date, or are in trainings, or meetings, or zone finds, or zone plannings.
Oh we did have a wonderful FHE on Saturday! 38 people came! 10 were missionaries, and Pres. Sonne and Sis. Sonne came too!! We had investigators, new members, a stake pres. and his wife, and less active members there. We had everyone! It was amazing! We watched On The Way Home and talked about families. Just wonderful!!
Only in the SLC mission would it be fine to see my family 3 times while I am on my mission. haah. General Conference time we can see family if they come to conference. So come to conference, Abby.
Well, love you all and thanks for everything!!
