The Morrill of the Story

 First zone conference.  This is her District Her and her companion won the "cleanest car" award This week's email: Not a whole lot happened this week from the last time I talked to you. We've been visiting a lot of less active members and are trying to get them to come back to church. We met with S who we're trying to get baptized on March 22 and found out that she didn't get Sundays off at work like she wanted. She was really mad and told us that she was going to talk to someone at work about it. She really wants to go to church with her kids. We should be meeting with her later tonight to teach her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is faith, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. It should go pretty well because she already believes most of these things and has a testimony of them. Hopefully she'll get Sundays off soon so that she can come to church. We weren't able to s...

 Happy Birthday to me! Yep, I'm 20  Sweet! Thanks for the boots Mom... I freakin love them!  Yep...love them!  Sister Bangs dad sent her a Dr. Who Mr. Potato Head!  A little birthday pampering.  Hooray for sisters! And nieces!  Her apartment.  A little Birthday music.  Splits with sister Alldredge. So I can only think of two really note worthy things this week. First was that we had exchanges last tuesday and so I was with Sister Alldredge for a day. It was really fun! I learned a lot of new things and was able to help her teach a 13 year old named C about the Plan of Salvation. It was so cool! There was one point in the lesson where the blessings of eternal life just clicked and C got so excited. It was like the best thing ever. She was so happy to know that, and she was interested in getting that for her family as well. It was really sweet to see. We also went tracting which was certainly...

So a last week after emails, we went and taught a couple from egypt who speak arabic, so we teach them english, I can't remember if I've told you about them or not. Their names are J and M. We've also had a bunch of Sister Ward missionaries called so on Tuesday we went and met with all of them to get to know them better. We also had district meeting where I had to give a training on learning to follow the promptings of the holy ghost. It went pretty well. Sister Robertson is one of our ward missionaries and she's just so awesome, I love her. She's really funny and just laid back so I like that. On Wednesday we actually found a new investigator! He used to a be a former investigator but was too difficult to schedule with and now his schedule has gotten a lot better. His name is Bar, he's from south Sudan. We took a sister from the ward with us to meet him because he lives alone and she turned out to be the perfect person to take. Her name is S...

Here are some pictures from the MTC finally :) This is her and her companion Sis. Christensen trying to escape the MTC Her zone out and about the grounds. Being silly of course.  With her zone and some of their teachers.  And this is her new and first companion in Texas, Sis. Bangs From her emails today: Apartment is one bedroom, even if it was two we'd have to sleep in the same room. My teaching skills don't really seem to be improving cause we have like no one to teach. They all keep cancelling on us so that's kind of frustrating. I should get to see S's baptism. Sister Bangs told me that President likes to keep us in the same area for 6 months unless he feels otherwise. This week was kind of meh though. We need to find more people to teach and people kept cancelling on us. Although we did meet with a less active member R , who is currently living with his girlfriend M who we are teaching the lessons to. Anyway, we met with R ...
