The Morrill of the Story

Silly selfies on the last day with my iPad.     Fun family, the Yanda's.   This week was really great! we were able to do a lot of really great work. A lot of the members here share the gospel with their friends which is so amazing! We were able to teach a man named Brad, who was a referral from a member in Fort Worth. This member had been sharing the gospel with Brad for a while but he wasn't ever acting on it. So she invited us over to "ambush" him. He handled it really well and promised to really give it a try and is going to read the Book of Mormon.   We set an appointment for Thursday this week. I'm sad that I'll miss it. We had a lot of good contact with non-members and were able to do quite a bit of service for the community and for members of the ward. I learned how to store and seal Mylar bags full of wheat. :)   So you as you might know, I'm coming home on Thursday. It's so weird! I'm sad that my mission is endi...

Last picture with my district, trying to look cool.  :)   Hello everyone!   This week was really good. It was pretty up and down actually, Sister Booher's back is still really hurting. I feel like we made the best of it though.    On Friday we were able to see a lot of people. We saw a less active sister and two of our recent converts, as well as being able to teach a member present in one of our members home. The Brewer family is working with their neighbors and we were able to teach their 11 year old boy named Alex. He is really smart and respectful. We're making plans this week to go and talk to his parents to see if they might be interested, or at the very least if they'll let us teach Alex.   We also had a really cool experience where we were on our way to go and see a less active sister in the ward. Before we left we prayed that we'd be able to have missionary experiences on the way. As we were driving we saw a man walking ...

 Me and Sister Ames   "In all of living have much fun and laughter, life is meant to be ENJOYED, not just endured."~Gordon B Hinkley   Singing my little heart out. :)   We had a pretty good week this week, it was just kind of uneventful. The ward had a big pancake breakfast for the 4th of July which was fun.   We also had a really good lesson with Logan and his mom about the temple and how we need to keep the commandments to prepare to go there.   We had zone conference this week which was amazing. My mission president is such an amazing man, I respect him so much. He and his wife are so cute too. Sister Ames is such a great woman. A lot of people say that missionaries aren't only called to a mission, but to their mission president too and I think that's so true! I believe that it's part of the reason that I had to wait to receive my answer about whether or not I should serve a mission, because President Ames wouldn't hav...
