<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Hello Family!! </span><br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I can hardly believe that this is my LAST weekly email that i will be sending. I feel weird about it! This mission thing has gone super dang fast!!! AHHH!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
SO- My last week as a missionary has been really really great. Really crazy. it has been a blur! We have seen some really awesome miracles with the people we have been teaching. Marcus is progressing SOOOO well!!! This past week we had a bunch of lessons with him. He is SOO ready to be baptized and accept the gospel. He has been reading and is already in 1 nephi 11! not bad for only having a book of mormon for a week! So great! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
On sunday i sang in sacrament meeting. It was really fun. I did a duet from the lamb of god- with sister chelsea cornwell! love her!! she is fantastic. It went really well then i ended up giving a talk in YSA. Haha one of the other speakers ended up not making it. I love being a missionary! I am glad that President Alexander asked me to speak. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
OHHH a crazy thing happened!!! on friday night some of our sisters didn't answer the phone for follow-ups with their district leader. So they called he called us looking for them. They had driven back from Mcallen that day- because they had a new trainers training meeting with president. We tried to call them- and they didn't answer. THEY WERE MISSING!!! Next thing we knew the AP's were calling us- asking us for details. So we got ready- just in case if they wanted us to drive up there and find them. They sent members by and all sorts of stuff but no one was answering the door. BUTTTT- they finally answered the phone!! Turns out they were asleep in their beds. it was 11:30 by the time we heard anything from them. Sister cano randomly woke up and checked the phone. Their phone quit working and wasn't receiving any phone calls. So that was crazy. We were freaked out that they were stranded or something! But really they were just exhausted greenies that had a malfunctioning phone. Pobrecitas. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Man, Well i ran out of time!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I want to leave you with my testimony. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. I am so grateful for the chance that i have had to serve here in south Texas. I know that as missionaries we are called by a prophet of God. The Lord leads and guides this church and the missionary work. I know that we have a living prophet on the earth today. He holds ALL the keys that we need in this dispensation. Joseph Smith really saw heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. The authority was restored through josph smith. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It is SOOOO true!!! As we read it every day we can receive answers to our prayers, guidance, and strengthen our relationship with god. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. He came to earth to sacrifice his all So that we may live again. I know that we can change. I have seen it in myself and i have seen it the people that i have taught here in Texas. The atonement is real. As we reach for Christ's hand he will lift us up. This is the True church of Jesus Christ. We have found it! Now we just have to live it. =D </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love you all! i hope you have a great few days!! I will see you Wednesday!!!</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
HOWDY Y'ALL and COMO ESTAN??</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week went SOOOOO quick!!! BAHH!! It was crazy. SOOO crazy. I cant even think about where to start. We have been seeing some huge miracles up here in the great white north. This week we found some really boss people! I will tell you about them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
SO- remember the Pacheco family?? Sister Price and I found them. They are a less active family. Anyways- we have been working with them since I came back to Corpus. When Pricey was here we invited one of the older sons (who is not a member) to learn more. He said no... haha. BUT- this past week his mom asked us to find some brothers from the ward to come over and give him a blessing de salud. His name is Marcus. SO we went over with the Elders Quorum Pres, and another brother. Marcus is completely blind in one eye- his cornea got scratched- and is now infected and swollen. There is a huge white dot over his entire cornea. its really crazy. So we went over and he got a blessing. (he is such a great kid! he has such a good attitude about it). After the blessing we just started talking about church. He didn't have a book of Mormon- so we ran and got one for him, and downloaded it onto his phone...and then I remembered that he isn't member!! So we invited him right there to learn more. and he said yes!! So we went on Saturday to have a lesson with him. We took one of the YSA brothers (marcus is 22) and taught him about the restoration. IT WAS SO POWERFUL. It was literally like a role play. At the end he gave the most beautiful, heartfelt prayer. He literally asked- straight from his heart if Joseph smith say Heavenly father. The SPIRIT JUST WHOOSHED IN. (usually when we teach people, they forget to ask about joseph smith.. but he didn't! SO prepared!!) After the prayer we asked him how he felt- to help him identify the holy ghost and his answer. He described the spirit he was feeling like he was "back home, warm, happy". Isn't that so true!! When we feel the Holy ghost in our lives we do feel like we are back home. I had never thought of it that way- So amazing the things you learn from people. He accepted a baptismal date for the 21st of September. Such a miracle. It is cool to see how the lord works with people. When we first invited him to learn- he said no. But the lord provided another opportunity. ALSO- before we even talked about the book of Mormon- he read 2 chapters. He listens to it when he drives to and from work. AND he brought his younger brother to church yesterday!! Such a miracle!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
THEN- we went back to visit this lady names April. We were teaching her like a transfer ago- when sister price was here. Anyways- they weren't really acting for a while. Then they went MIA (missing in action) for a while. And I just had the feeling to go by. So we went and April was SOOO excited to see us. She said, "I was wondering when you were going to come back!" So we taught her about the book of Mormon, and reset her BD. Then we went back last night to teach her about the plan of salvation. The lesson went really well. Then as we were talking about the 3 degrees of glory- her husband Eddie (who is a big black guy) came out and sat it. Near the end- he made a 'worldly' comment... or something- I didn't hear him, but April got mad at him and said, "Eddie! they are not here to talk about that!! If you don't knock it off you will go to the telestial kingdom!!". She then smacked him with her pamphlet. haha it was SOOO funny. I love her so much. She is so ready and willing to learn. =D </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Life is just great!! We are working our guts out. AND IT IS SOOOO HOTTTTTT. =D I love it. I am afraid that when I come back to Utah that I am going turn into a stinking raisin. haha. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Here is a scripture that I have liked a lot recently. I LOVE MORONI !!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Alma 48:11-12</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
11 And Moroni was a strong and a mighty man; he was a man of a perfect understanding; yea, a man that did not delight in bloodshed; a man whose soul did joy in the liberty and the freedom of his country, and his brethren from bondage and slavery; 12 Yea, a man whose heart did swell with thanksgiving to his God, for the many privileges and blessings which he bestowed upon his people; a man who did labor exceedingly for the welfare and safety of his people. 13 Yea, and he was a man who was firm in the faith of Christ, and he had sworn with an oath to defend his people, his rights, and his country, and his religion, even to the loss of his blood.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Let us be like Moroni- Strive to have a perfect understanding, grateful to Heavenly father, labor exceedingly (for the welfare of souls), and FIRM IN THE FAITH OF CHRIST. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all SOOOO much!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

3 day leadership, HOT, HUMID- I <3 Texas</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin-left: 4px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hello!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was insane!!! So great. I loved every minute of it. We had our 3 day leadership meeting down in Mcallen this week. SO we left last p-day at 3:00 and started driving to the valley. I think I know the drive by heart now. We made it to the church at 6:00- and we split up. I spent the week working with Sister Beckstrand and Sister Hunt. Two wonderful sisters!! Love them so much! then we had 3 days JAM-PACKED full of spiritual learning and miracles! It was by far the best meeting that I have been to on my mission. All of the trainings were super wonderful. I wish I had time to read you all my 40+ pages of notes that I took. I literally wrote my own book of revelation during the meeting. remind me to share it with you sometime. I also had the opportunity to do a few musical numbers. At the end of the 1st day one of the AP's asked Sister Garry and I to meet at presidents house to practice a special musical number. I love President and Sister Maluenda!!! they are so wonderful. So after going out and working- we met at Presidents house at 9:00 to practice. We did... a great song... and I can't remember its name in English! Anyways- Sister Garry and I, the assistants, and Pres and Sister Maluenda all sang. It was really neat. AND- the APs were usually late from dropping off people. So sister Garry and I got some time with President. Such a blessing.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
During our last MLC President was talking about the "consider the lilies" scriptures- you know- the ones that talk about not worrying about what we will eat, or wear..ect- because the Lord takes care of all those things. -So President was talking about that and in the middle of MLC he turns to me and says, "Sister WIser, do you know that song?" So I said yes (thank you Mr. Wood =D) and he said, "will you sing it for us real quick?". So I preceded to sing this song. After the meeting President told me to prepare it- and sure enough he asked me to sing it at 3 day. Sister Welch played for me. and we sang it on day 2. Then- President brought up the scriptures again, how the Lord knows all that we need. If you read 3 nephi 13:25-34. Starting in verse 25 it says that he "looked upon the twelve whom he had chosen". So he was talking to his missionaries, his servants. Then went on to have faith and seek first the kingdom of God. He tied it all into to Christ's life. It was so powerful. My little email doesn't do it justice (sorry). As President talked I felt the spirit super strong. And next thing I knew he turned to me and asked me to sing "consider the Lilies" one more time. So I went up to the pulpit and started to sing the song. it went really well until I got the the 3rd verse. these are the words. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
"Consider the sweet tender children</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
how they suffer on this earth</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
the pains of all of them he carried</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
from the day of his birth.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
He clothes the lilies of the field,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
He feeds the lambs of his fold,</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
and he will heal those who trust him</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
and make their hearts as Gold."</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The moment after I said "consider the sweet tender children" I instantly had tears in my eyes. and my voice was gone. The spirit was SOOOO strong in the room- there wasn't a dry eye. Sister welch kept playing and I spoke/sang the rest of the song. While I was standing up there the Spirit testified to me of the savior. And I was overwhelmed with the deepest feeling of gratitude. We all suffer on this earth- but HE carried ALL the pains. of all Gods tender children. and because He did that- he can heal all of our hearts and make our hearts as gold. I feel so privileged to be a missionary for our savior Jesus Christ. After serving him for (almost) 18 months I can say that I know he lives. He loves us. He gave his all so that we could make it back. We are so blessed. I know that the singing of that song wasn't the prettiest I have ever sang- but it was all with my heart. I feel blessed that I could be an instrument in His hands and to testify of Him. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my entire mission. and it was so great to be in the chapel with 80 missionaries! man I love being a missionary! After that Sister Larrabee and Sister Andersen (two missionaries I came out with) gave their last testimonies. They were beautiful. It was just great. It truly strengthened my faith.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
After the meeting we had a few things to do then headed back to corpus. we are just working hard! hope you all have a wonderful week. Take time to study the life of the savior. Really get to know him- so that he can help you in your lives. I know he lives. His atonement is for all of us- and we have access to it as members of his true church. It is such a blessing. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
love you all!!</div>

Hello people! Hope you are all having a great day!! Shout out to the Wiser side- Grandma wiser!! happy anniversary!! Deana, Michael, Shannon, Shawna, Mom, Dad, Grammy- I hope you enjoy your Hawaii trip!! Live it up!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had a super great week! it went by so fast that I literally cant even remember what happened. It was definitely full of wonderful missionary stuff though ;). We had two exchanges this past week. Out of our 8 sisters- 5 of them are greenies. So it has been really fun to work with them! I love greenie fire!! I always learn so much. We did an exchange with the island sisters (Sister Lance and Sister Sarmiento). I went with sister Lance! It was so fun. She is the sweetest. She is 19 and fresh out of the MTC. She is from provo- and is just a wonderful missionary. My second exchange was with sister Acosta (whom I love) in annaville. I got to go to her area and check it out. It was rainy off and on all day. It was super funny actually- we were on this street- contacting some referrals- and out of no where it started pouring. It doesn't rain much out here- but when it rains it POURS. we were about a half a block from our car- and all the people we were trying to contact kept looking at us like we were crazy people- probably because we were out in the pouring rain. Anyways- we were about a half a block from our car and decided to run to the car to wait out the random spurt of rain- by the time we got to the car we were completely drenched. It looked like we jumped into a swimming pool. haha. I have pictures actually- but I forgot my cord! I will send them next week. Anyways it was a good experience. after the rain let up a little we went to go and talk to two guys that pulled up. They both looked pretty rough- one of them had a tattoo sleeve of puros skeletons and scary stuff. But we started talking to them. Turns out that they work for an oil rig company or something. So they are hardly ever home. So we gave a book of Mormon to one of the guys. He said he would read it. They didn't accept a BD or anything- but I know that we planted a seed. I really felt it. Most of the time missionary work is as simple as that- just planting seeds. Through the years other people and experiences help those seeds to grow then they will be ready to accept the fullness of the gospel.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
An awkward thing happened though after!! we left our number with them- and the other guy texted us and (the one we didn't give the book of Mormon too) asked us 'to go to get some drinks and some food" with them. AKWARD. I have never been offered drugs or alcohol in my life until I became a missionary. haha kinda funny how that works. hopefully that guy will progress one day.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then later on we had another lesson with one of the families they are working with. They are so great!!! BUT the husband- Larry- has a doubt that the sisters hasn't found yet. He wont accept a BD. It seemed like he had a faith issue. So much has happened in his life he is afraid to open up. and because of that he isn't receiving answers to gain a testimony. SO HARD!!! AHHHH. The spirit was so strong in his house- you could tell because the wife was eating it up, and sister Acosta and I were both feeling it too- But he was to stubborn to recognize it. But they are going to keep working with him- he is going to be an amazing member. He is a super great guy. I learned a lot from the experience though. We have to be humble in order to receive answers from the Lord. If we don't actively do our part- we wont receive an answer. Or if we do pray and read and go to church- without the FAITH that we will receive heavenly help- we wont. It was a really good reminder for me to be humble. To have faith enough to receive help and answers from heavenly father. I have received so many answers on my mission- it has become part of me kinda- so it was a really good reminder to stay faithful and humble, and to not get caught in a rut. (I hope this makes sense, haha works in my brain)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We finally found Debra last night!!! we haven't had contact with her for about a week and a half. So we prepared a special lesson for her. We have already taught her everything that she needs in order to be baptized- so we planned a hybrid lesson of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation. And how the gospel (faith, repentance, baptism, holy ghost, endure to the end) fits in with getting to the celestial kingdom. we read 2 nephi 31 and as we read we dissected it and I drew a visual for her. The spirit was there super strong. As we read she was highlighting things in her book of Mormon!! At the very end I had a really strong impression to invite her to be baptized again. So I did. And she accepted a date for my last sunday, the 31st. I feel really blessed that I can work with her. This week she is going to an ARP meeiting to help her with the smoking, and she committed to read the BOM every day this week. Keep her in her prayers! I know she can do it!!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love you all so much! I hope ya have a great week! do some good service- invite some people to come to Christ. Hey- Hawaii crew!! you have a plane ride home! I am challenging you to Give out some copies of the book of Mormon! I want to hear about your experiences next week! Missionaries forever!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!</div>

I can hardly believe that we are into august! It has been great though!! So my new companion is Sister Ashman!! She is from Henderson Nevada, right up close to sin city. She is the youngest of 5. and has been a missionary for 15 months. She is really great. and hilarious. =D We have been having a great time- we are kindred spirits. So this is going to be a really fun transfer! </div>
<div>
Monday Sister Price and Sister Moffat left Sister Nail and I at 6:00 in the evening- it was so weird to be without them! it was very very quiet. Tuesday morning we had to be at the church at 5:15- sister nail had to be in McAllen by 9:00 to pick up her Greenie. and Sister Welch also had to go down. She got called to be an STL! So exciting! So we were at the church super dang early. Sister Cano (a new sister that is from Spain, Sister Welch's greenie) Stayed with me until the transfer van came. We had a great study session while we waited for the van to come. They pulled up about 3:00 in the afternoon and SIster Ashman and I were out working at 4:00! It was great. Then Tuesday night we got the call that we needed to go down to McAllen for some more meetings. so we headed out after a few appointments we had in the morning on Thursday. The meetings were good! There is a really great story in Judges 7 - it talks about being a leader. This Man named Gideon reduces his huge army- to 300 men because the Lord instructed him too. Then he makes a plan to go against a HUGE army. The following verses are the directions that he gave to his men. <div id="para15">

I particularly like verse 17- Gideon was such a good leader!! "look on me and do what you see me do." It made me think a lot- am I being a good example? can I say- "watch me and do the things that I do"? Anyways- it is a really good chapter and you can pull a lot of parallels from it. Make it a good study!! let me know what you think. =D be like Gideon! Follow the Lord exactly- and help others to follow your good example.<br />
Wednesday we had a great miracle. We have been working a lot in this one apartment complex- we have been finding some people- but not any SUPER prepared people. But I have just been feeling that there is someone prepared there that we need to find. So we put it in the plans on Wednesday. We had an appointment with this guy named issac- but he got sick last minute so he canceled on us. Before we left his doorway he had given us 4 referrals. So we started to contact them. The 2nd door we knocked a kid named Jordan answered. He is 19 years old- and pretty rough. He lives with a bunch of his friends. I am pretty sure they smoke stuff.. like weed. it smells pretty bad. anyways- we started teaching him. At first he was swearing a lot- but by the end of the lesson his countenance had completely changed. He accepted a baptismal date and committed to come to church on sunday! We set up a return appointment with him for Saturday. When we went back- he was out there waiting for us. He read the restoration pamphlet and prayed about it. He was pumped about coming to church too!! Sunday rolled around and he showed up 15 mintues early. So we gave him a church tour real quick and sat down for sacrament meeting. We introduced him to the entire YSA branch in the process. After sacrament some of the returned missionaries wisked him away to the classes. it was great! THEN- after he stayed for the linger longer too! he was at the church for like 4 and a half hours. and loved it. So that was great. he is SOOOO prepared. So that has been a huge miracle for this week. his baptismal date is the 24th.<br />
Rosa and the kids all got confirmed!! IT WAS SO POWERFUL!! and took most of sacrament meeting. haha. it was great. Their blessings were so beautiful as well. Andrew's blessing said that he would be a powerful missionary, Angela- that she would be married in the temple and that her children would be born into the covenant, and Roel- that he would hold many callings in the church- and help many people come to Christ. It was powerful. I had CHILLS during the entire meeting. Rosa is super solid! she made a great addition to that little Spanish branch- and the kids love church. Angela and Roel are actually giving talks in primary this upcoming Sunday, so that will be super cute! We are going to run over and help them write them this week. SO cute! love them.<br />
Sandie gave her testimony in sacrament meeting this week! it was so great!! she even shared a scripture! I love it when recent converts do that. it makes ya feel so dang good! here is the scripture she shared. 3 nephi 11:33<br />
33 And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.<br />
It was so great!! She has a powerful testimony! And tonight the other sisters are having a lesson with an investigator in the hulls house. they are so excited to participate in the work! =D<br />
Well!! I hope you all have a wonderful week! I still love being a missionary! best thing ever. I know that this church is the true church of Jesus Christ! He is our lord and savior. as we come unto him he will heal us. Love yall!<br />

Hello family!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was especially crazy!! and Great. And Crazy. =D I will just start and go through the entire week in order. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Monday (last Monday)- Our bishop and a few members took us to the aquarium! It was super fun! I will attach pictures here in a second. It was a crazy p-day- we finished all of our stuff by 1:30 and were going to see little fishies. it was record time. Our members spoil us!! Then Brother and Sister Hull had a family home evening with us and another family in the evening. So we went and they had food set up and everything. They have come so far! in January brother hull was less active and sister hull wasn't a member yet! Now they are having family home evenings and inviting people to come to church. Hasten the work!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Tuesday we had our last district meeting of the transfer. Since Sister Moffat and Sister Price are going home the elders did a hilarious safety training about "airline safety" it was great. Then we went to district lunch at this place called Eddy's. It is owned by a less active member and they feed us for free. they are super great. and the food is great too!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Wednesday President Maluenda came up for interviews. (it is the transfer for interviews) We found out Tuesday night at about 7:30. So we went and had some really awesome trainings. President Maluenda is really inspired! I always learn so much!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Thursday, Friday, we just had a ton of appointments- we were running aroud like crazy having lessons and stuff. It is always fun to be super busy! We have found some really great people this week. I will give more details as they progress a little bit more. Friday afternoon we were in this apartment complex- and we saw this little girl trying to get something that fell in the but huge trash bin. She was standing on her bike to get up and get it. so we went to help her. When she was dumping the trash the little can fell in. So we helped her get it out. Then of course gave her a picture of Jesus. We asked her for a referral and she told us to go and visit her friend. So we went and knocked- but no one answered. So we set off to find some other people that lived in the complex. on our way back to the car we saw another lady- again dumping things in the dumpster. so we invited her to learn more and she invited us in to her house. AND- it was the same family that the little girl had referred us too. that was pretty neat. we went in and they both accepted baptismal dates for august. it was really great. We are excited to teach them. It is a mom and a daughter. their names are Julie and Serenity. cute family. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Saturday- We had everything set up for Rosa's baptismal interview!! and the kids! there ended up being a special meeting in McAllen for new trainers and district leaders- so a bunch of missionaries ended up going down. So we had Sister Gibson and sister Perez with us. Our district leader had 2 other Dl's with him as well. We started out the day doing service (yes all of us. there were 11 of us) at this sisters house. Then she made us a carne asada after. It was super good. After that we all headed to the church for the interviews! Rosa and her kids were there waiting outside the front door- all dressed up cute and ready for their baptism interview. SO PREPARED. Since there were 3 district leaders they helped our district leader with the baptism interviews. So that shortened up the time a little. While the kids waited for Rosa we made copies of some living scriptures coloring pages. they had fun coloring. We had a good time with them. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sunday- They got baptized!!!! It was such a great miracle!! The Spanish branch was super excited as well- they haven't had a baptism in a while. so the entire branch was there to support. Sunday we also gave talks in church and I played the piano for the meeting. As we were going to help with the Gospel principal class one of the brothers came and asked me to go and play the piano for primary. So that was fun! I really enjoy primary. Rosas 6 kids really added a lot to the primary. Angela, Roel, and Andrew were so excited for their baptism. When they announced it in primary they were beaming. So cute. The service went really well. Rosa texted us later and thanked us for coming to find her family. She told us that she knew that God sent us to her. HE DID! I know he did. Such a miracle to see a family enter the waters of baptism. Her husband came to support as well- so hopefully we will start to teach him as well. Pray for him!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Debra and Breanna were supposed to be baptized as well, but they just need a little more time. They are doing well though- progressing super well. pray for debra to stop smoking! it has been super hard for her. we will be re-setting her date with her this week. we have some great plans to help her to progress! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We got sister price all packed up last night! It is so weird seeing her empty desk and closet! She really has been a wonderful companion. We will be friends for life! if yall want to go to Arizona her homecoming is the 10th of august. =D haha. I love her so much!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
By next week I will for sure know my next companion! I will be staying in Weber for sure. I am happy about it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Well- I love you all!! have a great week!! enjoy the heat!! I love being a missionary. I know that Jesus Christ is the savior and that he lives. He leads this holy work- all we need to do is be instruments in his hands. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love love love love love ya!! </div>

Hello!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week literally flew by!! I wanna start by giving a shout out to Grandma Bassett!! Happy birthday on the 23rd!!! And to ELDER WISER. Feliz Cumpleanos on the 26th!! Enjoy your birthdays :) Love ya both so much.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sister Price and I had some mighty great adventures this week. It went very very very fast. We did 3 exchanges this past week. With our sisters in Annaville, Beeville, and Everhard. It was great. I love the sisters so much!! I just keep learning ALL the lessons. We took a little road trip to Beeville. It is a tiny Podunk town. My GPS decided to give up the ghost- so we asked a member to print off some google maps for us. There are a couple of major free-way switches- so we got pretty nervous when we saw a sign that said "SAN ANTONIO 97 MILES". Don't worry- we didn't go to San Antonio. We made it alright- Beeville is the most northern city in our mission! So it was super fun. AND HOT. I got a little sun burnt. I have some pretty knarly sister missionary tan lines. =D yay. We went out and worked super hard. We stayed and worked Friday night and Saturday- between the four of us we found 9 investigators. It was a really amazing blessing. I had been praying to have success on that exchange for about 2 weeks- and we saw a LOT of miracles!! Heavenly father really does hear and answer our prayers.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Savanna and Izabelle went to the temple this week!!! THEY LOVED IT. Such an amazing experience! Man- I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. We went over earlier in the week and helped Savanna set up her family history account- then we started putting stuff in. She is the first one in her immediate family that has even touched family history. So we got all the information for her to do a baptism and confirmation for her Grandma. Izabelle did one for their Great Grandma. It was cool. Brother Perez was there and started pulling out birth certificates, passports, and other random documents with names, birth dates, and death dates. We put them in then and there! The spirit of Elijah was there!! You could feel it. It is amazing how a temple trip will solidify a recent convert. They had an amazing experience. I will have them send a picture to my email so that y'all can see it next week. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sandie is doing great as well!! We got a call from her on Saturday- and her friend was admitted to the hospital. So she called and invited us to go and sing with her- AND she called the bishop and invited him to go give her a blessing. We went into the hospital after church. it was an army of Mormons!! ( Sandie, Bishop, Sister Price and I, Chelsea Cornwell and her husband Logan.) We filled up her room and sang 'I am a child of God' It brought such a beautiful spirit. The lady just started crying. You could tell that she just needed to feel Heavenly fathers love. Then Bishop and Brother Cornwell gave her a blessing. It was really beautiful and the spirit just whooshed it. After that she asked us what church we were from. Sandie instantly answered, "We are Mormons! it is the church I just joined!!" Then she shared her testimony! AHHHH!! SO POWERFUL!!! She is being a missionary as well! And the Hulls invited a less active family to come to a family home evening tonight at their house. They have the desire to help others come unto Christ. So exciting!! Sandie said that she is hoping that her friend wants to learn more. We will probably go and see her again. So great!! </div>

It has been great!! This is Sister Prices last week in the mission. We have some hefty goals- so we are going to hit the ground running this week. Rosa, Angela, Roel, Andrew, Breanna, and Debra preparing to get baptized this upcoming sunday. Pray for them!!! Especially Debra. She has cut her smoking in half. and committed to smoke 2 less cigarettes every day this week. That will have her ready for her baptism. They are all progressing SOOO well. Rosa texted us yesterday after church and thanked us for finding her family. They are so prepared. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br />I love my mission! I am grateful to serve the Lord in this time. I know that this is HIS work. He loves us and is there to strengthen us. The atonement is real. I have felt its power in my life and I have seen it change people. We just have to use it!! The church is true the book is blue! Have a wonderful wonderful week! Love you all!!</div>

Hello Familia!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week has been legitimately crazy and wonderful. hmmm where to start. Well- from the title you can probably guess that I contracted another sinus infection!! yay!! So that was the first adventure of the week. My dear sweet companion took really good care of me- don't worry. This one was pretty strong- I lost my voice- haha so imagine a very congested sister wiser, testifying between coughing fits in a 3-pack-a-day- smoker voice. It was pretty great. We saw some huge miracles from it though!! First of all- we had planned to go to Beeville to do an exchange with some hermanas up there... but with my snotty state we rescheduled it for this upcoming week. At first I was super bummed- because I was excited to go and help the sisters- and I hate it when plans are messed up because of me- BUT it turned into a wonderful miracle. Since we weren't in Beeville we went out and worked with Debra (I know in the past I have spelled her name like 12 different ways- I found out that this is the correct spelling). She is great. She smokes about a pack a day- So we bumped up the word of wisdom lesson in our teaching schedule so we could start to help her give it up. We took a wonderful member with us Monday- to teach about the gospel and repentance- it went really well. AND- before we had even taught the word of wisdom</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
lesson our dear member said "sister, I notice that you have a smoking problem! don't worry we are here to help you overcome it!" You have to realize that the member is a legit Texan- She is fancy with bleach blonde hair, wears her cowgirl boots to church- Always done up. After that sentence she started talking about the negative effects of smoking to your beauty and health. It was pretty funny. She brought it up with love though. The next day we went with a different member to teach the Word of Wisdom. His name is brother burke- and he is probably one of my favorite people that I have ever met on my mission. remember the squirrel story in elders quorum? We are talking about the same guy. he has long surfer dude hair, he is in his late 50's, and he is hilarious. So we go through the things that we can't have, and talk about the blessings- THEN we start to make plans with her to help her quit. She just kept looking at us like "you really wanna take my cigarettes away from me too?"- we sad puppy dog eyes. we just smiled. SO THEN (this is the best part) Brother Burke started using this analogy. Here it is.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
"One Day a lady got a brand new puppy. The puppy was cute and white and little. She took it to the vet because it had to get its tail cut off. While she was in the waiting room she - waiting for her little doggie to go back, she kept hearing the yelps and barking of the other dogs in the back- who were undergoing the same procedure. The owner got more and more anxious as the moments past. Finally her turn arrived and she walked her cute little puppy back to see the vet. She felt so bad that it had to have the procedure that she asked the vet, "Please!! don't hurt it tooo much! Only take off a little today. Then we will come back next week, and you can take a little more. So the Vet only cut up the first little bit of the puppy's tail. The following week she took the dog back.. and the procedure was repeated until the entire tail was cut off of the poor little puppy." -Gruesome right!! But it makes a great point! Debra was like "oh my word! that is horrible!!! just cut it off all at the same time." then she had the realization that that was what she needed to do with the smoking and said "OHHHHH that is what I should do too!! Drat!" Haha it was pretty funny. She wouldn't go cold turkey- but she has cut down to half this past week. we took a jesus card and wrote the number 10 on it and stuck it in her cigarette box. Then we gave her a picture of jesus to look at when she smokes. She has been doing really great- and got a blessing on sunday from the elders. it was really beautiful. pray for her to stop smoking!!! Her daughter Breanna had a birthday party this week too. we (meaning I)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
will send you pictures. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So we went through out the rest of the week- and went to teach Debra the 10 commandments on Saturday- and one of Breanna's little friends sat in on the lesson. At the very end of it Arwin(her little friend) said, "Man, my mom and sister need to hear this. can you talk to them too?" So right after the lesson we went and started talking to the mom and sister. The mom wasn't interested. But the sister, Jessica started asking us questions. So we went and sat down with her and had a BOSS restoration lesson. She really is going through a hard time- and she felt the spirit super strong. You could tell by the way she changed. She struggles with same gender attraction- and has been super lost and alone. We invited her to prepare to change her life and be baptized- she accepted right away. THEN she committed to come to church. SO sunday morning- We were running around like crazy (getting ready for Izabelles baptism, and practicing for the special musical number that we sang for ward conference)- we walked into sacrament meeting and Jessica, Arwin, Debra, and Breanna were all sitting in the second row!! SUCH A MIRALCE!! After we left they were all outside talking and decided to carpool. So wonderful- because debra didn't have a ride. God works in mysterious ways!! So bottom line- I was blessed with a sinus infection so that we would stay home from Beeville, so that we could find Jessica. =D QUE MILAGRO!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
ALSO- Izabelle got baptized!! It was SOOO wonderful. Her non member family came- Her dad is catholic. But he seemed to be really touched by the spirit. AND her younger brother (who is 8) mentioned that he wanted to get baptized too. So many miralces! All because Savanna invited her family to her baptism. Izabelle is so sweet! She was so excited too. We asked a brother, who is a recent convert of about 3 years, to baptize her. And they had to do it 3 times because her arm kept sticking out. But the 3rd time was perfect. She is squeaky clean. =D It was a beautiful service- and we had wonderful ward support. The ward is just on fire!! I will send pics in a sec. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then to top of the night- we were crazy busy all day and we weren't able to go to the Spanish branch to see if rosa and her family went. We called and the phone wasn't working. I got asked randomly to play the piano in primary- so we ended up staying in the English ward. (we were also juggling Jessica, Arwin, Debra, and Breanna. Getting Debra a blessing to help her overcome her addiction, AND doing Izabelles interview- All at the same time) it was crazy. So we were doing follow-ups with our district leader and he was like- Good job getting Rosa to church. And we both were like.." uh.. Huh?? ELder, Rosa didn't go to church, the four that we sent in for the actuals was Jessica Arwin, Debra, and Breanna." He just started laughing and said. "sisters, Rosa came to church! We thought you knew!" SO WE HAD 8 INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH YESTERDAY. Such a blessing. The elders said that she loved it. SO prepared!!! we are super excited!! we were so sad before- because we were going to have to drop their baptism date for the 27- but since they came they are still good!! wahooo!! The lord is blessing us with so many miracles. I love being a missionary!! Even with a sinus infection. Keep on keeping. Enjoy the week! have fun at EFY Stanton and Shelby!! Learn something great. LOVE YA!!!!</div>

Howdy Folks!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was super wonderful! We took another road trip down to Mcallen for MLC. That was super fun. We went down Tuesday afternoon to go and blitz some of the other sisters areas. I got to work in Mission East with sister Campbell. She is wonderful! We had a great time. We were going to find one of their investigators- but she wasn't home. BUT- the lady gave us a referral for the neighbor. SO we immediately went to knock on the door. This girl answered and after a few minutes of talking with her she said, "hmmm I think I want to join your church, do you have time to come inside?". MISSIONARY DREAM COME TRUE!! We went in and taught her and her twin sister. in the middle of the lesson their mother walked in- turns out she was a former! We set them on a date and left. I am excited to see how they are progressing. The Lord blesses us with miracles!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
MLC was really great. It is always really great. The AP's gave a training on fasting- and reminded us of the experience that we had last November- when we hit out goal of 113 as a mission. We had a mission fast in order to reach the goal- and we received SOO many blessings. Elder Grant (one of the AP's) asked all the missionaries that were in that MLC to raise their hands. AND only sister Kreis, Elder Grant, and I were in that meeting! All the other zone leaders and STL's are new. You can call me Abuelita Wiser- haha most of the sisters do. Pretty crazy. This month we are reapplying these principals so we can hit our goal this month. We had like a 6 hour training on setting and reaching goals. It was pretty legit.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had another wonderful lesson with Izabelle! She is SOOO prepared! Her original baptismal date was for the 20th of July- BUT we moved it up to the 13th!!! Our ward is taking a youth temple trip and Savanna and Isabelle want to go!! SO EXCITING!!! So we moved up Izabelle's baptismal date so they can go do baptisms for the dead. IT is such a miracle. AND- Savanna told us that she wants to go on a mission!!! Sister Price and I were dying. We are So excited! Looks like we might be coming back again to go through the temple with Savanna in about a year and a half. SO exciting. She is going to be the most wonderful missionary. She is already sharing the gospel with her friends and family. Pray for her that everything works out. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Debra came to church this past Sunday with her daughter!! that has been another wonderful blessing. She even signed up to bring food to a ward activity that we are having in a few weeks. Pretty great! We had a church tour with her- and some of the greatest members came with us. The cornwell family- Brother Cornwell is a convert of 3 years- His wife helped him to find the truth! AND THEY ARE SO STRONG!! It was a wonderful experience to have them there, testifying. Keep Debra and Breeana in your prayers. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had to go in early on the 4th of July. Texans go BIG on the 4th. So for safety reason we had to be in early. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. So we ate a huge tub of ice cream and read the scriptures! Yay book of Mormon read-a-thon. I have really been enjoying reading it through it again. I decided to read it for the "read the BOM before Sister Wiser gets home challenge" in English. It is super weird! I haven't really read the BOM in English for more that a year. But is has been fun. I love the Book of Mormon! It really is another testament of Jesus Christ. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We get a normal work week this week without meetings!! So that is fun. We are ready to pound the pavement. On Friday and Saturday we are going to a little town called Beeville to work with some sisters there. (Sister Welch and her greenie) So that will be fun! Beeville is the most northern city in our mission. They are closer to the San Antonio mission home than to ours. hahaha. Pretty crazy. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
All is well is Corpus! I love being a missionary! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a wonderful week. Invite someone to learn more about the savior.</div>

Hello family!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was really wonderful! We took a little road trip down to McAllen with ALL the sisters in the mission. It was like a family reunion. It was so great to see all the sisters together. It was a wonderful uplifting meeting. Tuesday evening after the meeting we drove home (as quickly as the speed limit would permit) to make to it the lesson we had set up with Savanna!! She is such a Gem! She invited her cousin Izabelle to come over to learn more. We started by going over the restoration. Savanna was such a strong help too! She just kept testifying left and right. There was a beautiful spirit in the room. At the end of the restoration- we invite people to pray about it- so they can receive a spiritual confirmation. So we invited Izabelle to pray- after teaching her how to pray. She said the most sincere beautiful prayer. it was so wonderful. After her prayer, before we could even help her recognize the spirit, Savanna jumped in and said, "Do you feel it? Did you get it? Did you get your answer? That good feeling is God talking to you." Best Member present friend ever!! Izabelle looked so happy! She had such a light in her eyes! She accepted a date to be baptized the 20th of June. Her and savanna had a sleep over that night and picked out their outfits for church together! haha so cute. typical girls. It is so amazing to see the fire of a recent convert!! Savanna is so solid! So strong!! And she is helping to bring her non member family AND her less active family back into the fold. So wonderful. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Thursday we had another meeting. Zone conference. It was really amazing. Sister Price and I gave a training about being humble and having companionship unity. We role played having a companionship inventory. It was fun (kinda awkward) but fun! I always learn more in trainings than the other missionary humans do. President Maluenda is such a powerful teacher! I just love listening to him open up the scriptures and learning from the spirit. He really emphasized that- Always listening to the spirit- not the words he said. I played the piano for sister Sarmiento to do a musical number. and I had a stupid spanish greenie moment. haha We were practicing. and I was trying to tell sister sarmiento (in Spanish of course) to use the microphone. so I said, "Hermana sing into the microonda". She instantly started laughing and I realized that I had said Microwave. Durdadur- sing into the microwave. hahaha. The real word for Microphone is Microfono. I have been teased ruthlessly all week. ;) hahaha.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
THEN- the unthinkable happened. At the end of every zone conference the missionaries that are leaving the mission get up and share their testimony. The missionary name for that is 'Dying Testimony'. (because when you leave the mission it is kinda like dying? I don't know- haven't done it yet.) Anyways- they called for Sister Price's group. AND THEN THEY CALLED FOR MINE. I didn't believe it so I just sat in my pew. Then I saw sister welch get up and walk to the front. She was beckoning for me to follow. So I started walking up and as I passed President Maluneda I asked him if he was sure that it was my turn to give my dying testimony. and he said "Si, Hermana". And my jaw literally dropped off my face and hit the ground. I was so surprised. SO I was in shock and had tears from the shock, rolling down my face. and had to give my dying testimony. It was the weirdest feeling in the entire world. The time goes fast. I am just grateful for my mission. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. I am going to be a missionary for the rest of my life. WATCH OUT PROVO NON MEMBERS. I WILL FIND YOU. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So then after the meeting we had a feeling to go back to a potential lady- and we went in and she is super prepared. Her name is Myrna. Her and her son are learning more- so that was a testimony builder- FOLLOW THE SPIRIT. Her name kept coming back to Sister Price's head so we went and we saw a wonderful miracle!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Saturday I got to do an exchange with my sweet little sister Sarmiento!! The one from chile. I love her so much!! We saw another huge miracle!! We were out pounding the pavement in the wonderful texas heat- AND we received a referral for this house. So we stopped by and found a family of 8! 5 of them are baptismal age! So exciting! Sister price and I have been praying to find a family that can get baptized her last sunday in the mission. And we found them!!! They are preparing to come to church with us this upcoming sunday and accepted baptismal dates for the 27 of July. Such a miracle!! I will tell you more about them next week. But they are darling. THey have 6 little kids. OH!! And they speak Spanish!!! We found a Spanish family in the great white north!!! haha such a miracle!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then Sunday after church- we were on our way to an appointment and we felt the impression to go by this lady that we had randomly met. And she opened the door like she was waiting for us. We taught her as well and she accepted a Baptismal date for the 27th as well. SO many prepared people. Her name is Deborah. She is new to corpus and you can just tell that she has been struggling. We are excited to help her find the peace. =D </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Well I hope you all have a wonderful week! Keep doing good work!! Help the missionaries!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

This week has been a wonderfully crazy week! The work is moving here in south texas!! We have just been seeing sooooo many miracles! Savanna was baptized yesterday!! it was such a wonderful service. She was so ready for it too. She showed up Saturday for her interview all ready. Before that she went to buy a new dress to wear. So cute. =D you will see it in the pictures. She invited a bunch of her non-member family members. SO that was wonderful. She is already spreading the gospel!! Her cousin wants to learn too! So we are going to start teaching her this upcoming week. It is amazing the difference that one person makes. Savanna is helping her family sooooo much! She is such a wonderful example. Her families home teacher, a brother from the ward, was able to baptize Savanna after working with their family for 4 years. HOME TEACHING IS IMPORTANT!! It took four years- but now their family is even closer to heavenly father. They (Savanna and Bro Perez) are preparing to go on the youth temple trip in about a month! SO WONDERFUL!!!! It has been such a blessing to work with them. At savannas baptism we took the guitar and did a rendition of 'when I am baptized'. the primary song that talks about rainbows and baptism.. haha =D it turned out really good. And brought the spirit into the room. it is amazing how much music can add! Such a blessing.</div>

Sandie was confirmed a member of the Church yesterday as well in sacrament meeting. They are just the sweetest. They have become our Corpus Cristi grandparents. I love them so much! Sister Price and I sang 'how great thou art' in sacrament. It is brother Hulls favorite hymn. So that was a nice little touch. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Basically we have just been working our guts out in the blazing texas heat! I forgot how HOT it is in the summer. Haha it is character building. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This upcoming week we have an ALL sister meeting in Mcallen. Road trip! hahah it is crazy having to drive so far for a meeting. Then we have zone conference after that. So that is going to be super fun. =D I am excited to go! And I am ready to learn more!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had a crazy miracle this week! literally crazy. Haha so we had a member with us- her name is Morgan. She is wonderful. She is engaged right now- and comes out with us every week. So we had this crazy experience. WE were going to a lesson with our new investigators that we found, Arnold and Brittany. And we had planned to teach them about the book of Mormon. BUT..... we forgot to put more copies in our car. I had checked the night before and the car was completely out of copies of the Book of Mormon. As we were driving over to their house I realized that we didn't have a Book of Mormon for the lesson! MISSIONARY NIGHTMARE!! (whoops.. lack of preparedness- don't worry I repented. :p) Anyways So I said "Sister Price! Hurry say a prayer. we need one!" So she said a prayer right that moment. She literally prayed for a 'random book of Mormon." So we got out of the car to look in the trunk AND THERE WAS A RANDOM BOOK OF MORMON THAT APPEARED OUT OF NO WHERE. Heavenly father answers our prayers. We went and had an awesome lesson with them! Such a miracle. Morgan, sister price and I were all so shocked! Prayer works if you have faith! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

SOOOO- Transfers came in and I get to stay with Sister Price for her last transfer!! I am super excited for the upcoming weeks! We have been so blessed. This past week was incredible! We saw so many miracles!! Sandie Hull got baptized!! We had her interview on Thursday- then planned her baptism to be in a tiny town called kerville. (I have no idea where that is- except that it is in the San Antonio Mission) Sandie's Father in law is a super active member that lives in Kerville. Both Sandie and Brother Hull wanted him to be at the baptism- so we planned everything through our leaders for the baptism to be in kerville- and that night we got a call from President Maluenda to make sure all was well- THEN we got a call from the mission president of San Antonio!! So that was crazy. It all went well, and was a beautiful experience for the Hull family. We wished that we could have been there- But were so happy that her father in law could be there. She is SOOOO sweet. Sunday morning she sent us a text that said, "next time you see me we will ALL be members of Christ's Church." She is so great! When we went over for her interview- she made Gluten Free Fried chicken. She went to the store (yes this is the one that just had a triple bypass surgery a month ago) and found gluten free flour and made us all a huge dinner. Then she had her interview. After the interview she came out and said to her husband, "Jim! when do we get to get married again?" She was talking about their temple sealing! SO plan on coming with me to texas next year so we can go to Sandie's sealing!! WAHOOO!!</div>

Then Savanna! She is preparing for this upcoming sunday! She is also SOOOO prepared! We have taught her everything, she just needs to have her interview and she is ready for Sunday. She has been loving church and keeps a scripture journal as she reads. You can see the light in her eyes more and more every single day. The cool thing too is that her Dad was baptized when he was 17. His conversion story is really hilarious. He said that when he was in high school he had a crush on this pretty girl. he really wanted to talk to her- so one day he followed her home. She was probably freaked out- so she sent her big brothers out to talk to him. They took Bro- Perez in the house, sat him at the kitchen table and said, "You cant talk to our sister unless you read this book." -You got it! it was a Book of Mormon! AND HE READ IT. He said at first it was to talk to the girl, but the more he read the more he knew it was true. He called the missionaries and was baptized. He is coming back too with Savanna. SO that has been amazing. The ward is fellowshipping them wonderfully as well. Yay miracles!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We found these sisters this week. Their names are Iris and Margie. Last week the elders did a blitz in our area- and contacted Iris. They set a return appointment for last Monday evening. We took a member with us to go to the appointment on Monday and it was so powerful! They are probably the most prepared people ever. We were all in tears. The spirit was SOOO strong. Margie- the younger sister- said the last prayer, and She thanked the Lord for answering her prayer from the night before. She had been praying for help, direction, and light. We showed up the next day! It is amazing to be on the other end- being a tool to help answer peoples prayers. Their family is going through a really really rough time right now- and the gospel is just what they need. We met with them Wednesday and gave them their copies of the book of Mormon- Then had a boss church tour with them on Saturday! It has been a miracle. Keep them in your prayers. They are both so wonderful.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We have been incredibly blessed this past week. There are so many more miracles that I want to share!! We were able to find 9 people this week. Which is craziness. Our planners are chuck full and we are staying busy! Pray for the people! They ALL need the gospel. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I had a really cool insight as I was reading the scriptures in my personal study this week. Look up these two scriptures. Mosiah 27:25-26 (one of my favorites) with 3 nephi 9:17.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<a href="" name="25"> </a>25 And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters; 26 And thus they become new creatures; and unless they do this, they can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.<br />
Put with this scripture-17 And as many as have received me, to them have I given to become the sons of God; and even so will I to as many as shall believe on my name, for behold, by me redemption cometh, and in me is the law of Moses fulfilled.<br />
I have been thinking about how we can really become sons and daughters of god lately- how we can develop our divine potential and do ALL we can to become like Heavenly Father in this life. The Mosiah scripture tells us that we need to be born again- changed from a carnal state to a state of righteousness. - The nefi scripture tells us HOW we can be changed. By receiving Christ. =D And when we receive Christ we receive his gospel. By living the Principles of the gospel we are literally changed. We are all in a journey to become more like the savior. by following his example and developing his attributes we are changed through his atonement. And we become the Sons and Daughters of God. This was on of my little light bulb moments this week! =D makes sense right?<br />
Well I love you all!! hope you have a wonderful week! I love being a missionary!<br />

This week is the last week of the transfer!! Super crazy!! This transfer has just flown by! MAN. We took another road trip to McAllen this week for an STL meeting and MLC. It was really great! President Maluenda is such an inspired Mission President! The changes he is making are really helping the mission to grow. =D We went down to McAllen on tuedsay- and worked with the La Vista sisters for the afternoon and evening. I Got to work with my querida Hermana Kreis!! Haha it was just like old times. I felt like I just went on a really long exchange then went back to work in La Vista. hah it was fun. We were walking around- trying to find prepared humans- and there were 4 boys outside. They were all around 14-15 years old. And they wanted to learn about the message and ALL accepted baptismal dates. We set appointments with all of them and their families to go back. So that should keep them busy for a while. =D One of the boys- Robert- was talking about how the sisters had been teaching his family not to long ago- and how THAT VERY MORNING- they were talking about getting baptized and finding the sisters again. God knows where we need to be- when we need to be there. That was super great.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The theme that I pulled from our meetings was the power of prayer. President Maluenda shared a really really cool experience from his life. (he has tons of cool life experiences). We were talking about the importance of ASKING for what we need. Like it says in the scripture Matthew 7:1-13</div>

He then shared an experience. When Pres. Maluenda was little he always loved studying English. When he was 12 he asked his dad to enroll him in English classes. And he ALWAYS wanted to serve an English speaking mission. So from the time he was about 12- until he put his mission papers is he prayed that Heavenly father would send him to an English speaking country. At the time that was really rare for Chile- ALL the Chilean missionaries would serve in a different part of Chile. But President Maluenda prayed with faith that he would get sent to an English speaking place. He said he bought an old video cassette in English. Every night he would listen to 20 minutes of it before he went to bed. After a year he could understand the entire dialog! Crazy right? talk about determination. Anyways- he put his papers in and he was the 1st missionary to be called to an English speaking country from Chile. He served in Washington state. How cool right!! His experience really touched me. It reminded me of how I prayed to serve Spanish speaking! yay! I LOVE SPANISH. =D </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
He then talked about how the Lord does hear our prayers. And IF we ask him. he will grant the things that we desire and need. I know its true! It has really helped me to be more sincere in my prayers. I have really learned how to converse with my Heavenly Father on my mission. He already knows everything- but He expects us to tell him, and ask him for the things we need. A lot of times- we don't receive simply because we don't take the time to ask. PRAYER changes things. Prayer is more that just I list of things.. It is a communion with God. =D</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So we had a super ODD moment this week. haha we were walking in this little neighborhood of our area right by a park. And out of no where this big old snake slithered out of the weeds and started chilling in the middle of the road. it was pretty big- like 3 feet long. (I am not exaggerating here!) and it was all coiled up and as cars were driving by it was striking at the cars. Randomly all these people came out side- there were probably 14 people standing on the side walk just watching it. and then a HUGE beefed up- Texan truck ran over it. It died. with a crunch. I think that all the 14 people( and us) were in shock. When sister Price and I gained our composure again we walked around and gave Jesus cards to all the people that were staring at the big dead snake. Hahaha. Yay missionary work. =D it was really interesting. after we started giving out cards and talking to people a lady came out with a rake and put the thing in the rain gutter... I am not sure how healthy that is for the environment... but seems legit! haha. Yay big snakes in texas.</div>

Hello! and Happy June!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was super wonderful! and crazy. as usual. =D We have been working a lot with less actives- trying to find people and help them to come back. And before Sister Price and I came to the area a less active named Brother Perez called the other sisters and asked them to come over and help them to come back to church. The sisters got transferred-but left us a note about it. So we called and set up an appointment for last sunday. Bro Perez and his daughter Savannah was there. We had a boss lesson with them. They are so prepared and ready to come back to the fold. Savannah was talking about what she remembered from her childhood about the church. Her dad took her when she was little a few times, all the other sundays she went to the catholic church with her Mom. And she said that she remembered the things that they taught in the LDS church better- that is stuck to her and related to her in her life. We shared the restoration with her and she accepted a date to be baptized!! It was great. Her dad is super ready to come back as well! Then after we started talking about community service- and how they require 50 hours of community service for every senior to graduate from high school. (she will be a senior this upcoming year). SOOOOO we invited our investigator to come visit our other investigator in the hospital!! -Sandie- the one that had triple bypass surgery and was staying in a nursing home to recover. So we arranged for a member to go and pick up Savannah and to give us a ride to visit Sandie at the hospital. I was on exchanges with a sweet new sister, Sister Acosta. So we went! and it was such a wonderful experience. I was a little nervous- because it was only our 2nd time talking with Savannah- so we weren't sure how she would take it. We didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. But it went really well. Sandie was sooooo happy to have visitors. We went in and asked Sandie where she was at in the Book of Mormon. She is in 3 nephi!!!! WAHOOOO!! that was a miracle. We aksed her where she had finished off- and she had just finished 3 nephi chapter 10. Heavenly father literally hand picked 3 nephi 11 to read together. It couldn't have been more perfect. So we read and had a little book of Mormon study. Then Sandie started to share her testimony. It was super powerful- how she is so ready to be baptized and how she knows this church is true...ect. I looked over at Savannah to see how she was reacting and she had HUGE tears streaming down her face. When she saw us looking over at her- she said, "I am sorry! I don't know why I am crying. I just feel SOOO good and happy right now!" Overall it was a miracle. I also took my guitar and we sang a bunch of songs. It was a wonderful experience all around. I am so glad that we followed the spirit and invited Savannah to come and visit our investigator Sandie!! When we follow promptings- even if they sound crazy- the Lord can work miracles and help everyone to feel the spirit. It was great. Then on Saturday we had an awesome church tour with them. Invited them to come to the chapel. We took Bro Perez' home teacher with us to fellowship. It turned out super great. Usually when we do church tours we show them around the buildings and give a brief summary of the classes. Then end in the chapel. The focus is the sacrament- because that is the most important thing. So we read the sacrament prayer and talk about the blessings and the role that Christ has in helping us overcome ALL the things that we need help with. Then I usually pick a hymn to play on the piano- while they read the words of the hymn and ponder on the meaning. Saturday I felt strongly that I should play 'Where can I turn for Peace". It brought a beautiful spirit into the room- as they pondered on Christ. After we asked what the song meant to them- and they both had a connection. It made Savannah tear up. She said, "man! I always cry when I am with you guys!!" But then talked about how this is what she needed right now. That she was ready to make the change in her life so she could feel the peace. AND- DRUMROLLL- They came to church!!! And it was great! I love prepared people! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sandie finally was able to go home this week from the nursing home. She had a really miserable time there- So we are happy that she is home. Right now she is preparing to be baptized on the 15th of June. But it all depends on her recovery from her crazy heart surgery. So pray for her!! that she can heal!!! She is so optimistic and ready to learn.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I wanted to share a scripture today that has been in my brain lately- I might have already shared it... but that's okay! repetition means it is important!! SO- 3 nephi 11:14-15.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love this verse because Christ is inviting us- personally to come to him.</div>

I was thinking... hmmmmmm. Why did Christ do that? Why did he take the time to invite every single person up one by one? They were all there and could hear his voice and see him. Why then, did he give them each a personal invitation? And I realized that it is because he really does love 'THE ONE'. Not 'the one' group of people- but 'THE ONE'- those individual souls. He sees us each as we are- and loves us perfectly. He took the time to show that personal love to strengthen every one of the people that were in that crowd. I think it is amazing.</div>

I was really trying to put myself in the shoes of those people. Having the chance to walk up to feel the prints of the nails in the saviors hand. IT would probably be a long walk to actually get to him. What would I be thinking? What would I have said if I had the opportunity to see him face to face? What would I DO? I am not really sure what I would do exactly.. but I can just feel the love that I have grown for the savior. What a wonderful experience those people had!! And the invitation is the same for us- To come and know the savior. To study his life and apply his atonement in our lives. and then in return- to go and nurture 'The One'. The friend that is struggling, the less active that you were assigned to home teach, The little kids in the primary. The list goes on and on! And WE have the chance to help in the wonderful work. what a blessing! Savannah felt that when she came to visit sandie with us- and it helped in her personal conversion. If we want to come to know the savior- we have to do what he would do- the best we can. -That has been in my thoughts these past couple of weeks. I have been trying so hard to focus on 'THE ONE' and do as the savior would do. It makes such a difference. </div>

Last night we had a cool expierence- we were walking down the street- and Johnny was outside. He was a referral that we had received and contacted- but he didn't have time to meet that day. So we ran into him again and invited him to listen for a few minutes. So we started with a prayer- and this really rough looking kid with tattoos and gages walked out the front door and asked us what we were doing. So we introduced ourselves and invited him to listen too. And he actually sat down with us and participated in the lesson. As we talked about the restoration and the love that God has for us- his entire countenance changed. Completely changed. He started to open up- and you could see his desire to be filled with God's love always. At the end of the lesson we invited them both to be baptized- and Ryan accepted without hesitation. We asked him Why he wanted to be baptized. he said "I just feel like this is the thing I am missing. I want to feel like this more." He didn't have words to describe the spirit- so we helped him to recognize it. It was so amazing!! It just shows the importance of loving everyone- and not judging based on outward appearance. I love those little reminders I receive. =D Pray for RYAN too!!</div>

This week was a wonderful one!! I am already excited to work and see the miracles that will unfold this upcoming week. I know that I am no where near perfect, but I am so HAPPY that the Lord is willing to guide me. That he is willing to let me feel the joy that comes through inviting others to come unto Christ. There is no feeling like it in the world! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. It means the world to me.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!! Have a wonderful wonderful week.</div>

Hope you all had a wonderful week! I had a great week here in the TMM. This is probably going to be a short email because I only have a few minutes! So- This past week Sister price and I took a little road trip back to McAllen!! Yay! It was great we had a 3 day leadership training. It was nuts! full of wonderful-ness. It takes about 3 hours to get down there. So we (our zone leaders and 3 district leaders and Sister Price and Me) we crammed into the dad van that the zone leaders drive. It was pretty crazy. Then during the day we had meetings from 9:00 am to about 6:00 pm. LONG MEETING. But oh so great. They always come right at the best moment in the mission to help me refocus and to make changes. </div>

I got to work with sister beckstrand in La Vista!! How I love my old area!! Sister beckstrand actually went to high school with me. She graduated with me too! Small world. We were on bikes the entire time too- so that was fun! The first night after the training President Maluenda challenged us to have a really good repentance prayer before we left- then go and work hard! So Sister beckstrand and I went and changed clothes real quick. During the meeting I actually made a repentance list. I just took a moment to repent- and after I felt SOOO GOOD. I felt like was all of a sudden sparkly and clean. So we headed out on the bikes (I was wearing sister kreis' helmet...hahaha it was too big so I looked like a doofus). We were talking to everyone that was outside and there was one little lady that was watering her grass. So we stopped and talked to her. We started teaching the restoration lesson to her- and the spirit was so strong!! It was super wonderful. She prayed and after she just waited for a minute- and read the entire prayer page in the pamphlet. After a few minutes (yes minutes) of silence we asked her how she felt. And she said, "I feel something here in my heart... I can't describe it... its like....I don't know..." So we helped her realized that that was the spirit that she was feeling. And she accepted a baptismal date. SOO MANY PREPARED PEOPLE. =D It is great. It was amazing the difference that little repentance prayer make though- I felt the spirit there super strong- AND I felt so much love for the lady! It was like Heavenly Father was shooting me with a laser beam of love- and my heart was pure enough to shoot it at the lady- full force. =D It was wonderful experience that changed my mission. I am striving for that every day. To be pure and full of love. =D </div>

Here is a great quote that I heard this week. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
"if you are anxious- you are living in the future. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
If you are depressed- you are living in the past. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
If you are happy- you are living in the present." </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I really liked that! enjoy every moment!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Well!! I love you all so much! have a wonderful week! you are in my prayers!!</div>

HELLO People!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week has been a crazy week- FULL of miracles!! Where to begin... SO last week we found a little family- Rhonda and her daughter Layla. They are so wonderful!! We were walking outside and saw a group of kids- so we went and gave them all Jesus pass along cards. There was one little girl that said- "hey! my momma is inside! wanna come talk with her?" So of course we did. We had a great restoration lesson and set them on a date to be baptized. SOOOO many prepared people!!! Then we went back a few days later to give them their copies of the book of Mormon. And committed them to read. *here is where the miracle gets crazy!* So we go back a few days later to see how they are doing and to set up a church tour- and we followed up on their reading. And Layla has been taking her Book of Mormon to school to read it DURING recess! AND-that's not all- A little girl named Kaitlyn, who is in our ward- Saw Layla reading her book of Mormon and offered to read with her. So the next day Kaitlyn brought HER Book of Mormon and started reading with her!! CRAZY GREAT RIGHT!!! Talk about a brave little missionary. Both the girls are ten. So we called her Mom and tonight we have a family home evening planned in the members home. The Lord works in wonderful ways!! Yay Book of Mormon Recess STUDY!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I also got to do an exchange on the Island this past week!! IT was so fun! I was with sister Vargas on the island. It was so fun to see the members and the people again. IT is crazy to go back- all these wacko memories kept flooding into my mind. I learned a LOT on that little island. =D</div>

Another great miracle from this past week- Rhonda gave us a referral for the Neighbor. And her hame is Deborah. We went and started talking with here and she told us that she wants her 8 year old son to be baptized somewhere! Talk about great!! So we started teaching them both- and it has just been wonderful. Deborah had a great spiritual conformation that the message is true. The Lord prepares so many people!!! =D</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Another little gem that we are working with is a lady names Sandie. She is such an angel! Sister Sanders and Sister Ninataype actually found her and started teaching her and her Less active husband. Her husband has now been reactivated and Sandie is preparing to be baptized. She would be baptized already- but she has had a lot of crazy health problems these past few months. The first time I met her was at the hospital. 5 days earlier she had a triple bypass open heart surgery. CRAZY. So we went and sang to her. She is currently in a little rehab facility so she can fully get back on her feet. She is such a christlike and positive woman!! We went with a boss member that lives in our area- Sister Rich(yes, I skyped at her house. =D) Sister Rich and I gave her a hand massage with oils=D yay oils!!! Her goal is to be baptized on june 15 She is recovering very fast. Keep her in your prayers!</div>

On Saturday the stake has a super awesome relief society activity- with classes and all sorts of stuff. We got to go because we translated it into Spanish! For some sisters. Haha there are some words in English that I just don't know the translation for! like 'smoothie'. We went to a class about making healthy smoothies. so I just said 'esmooti" hahahaha. Yay TEX MEX. Super funny. it was fun! I love speaking Spanish!! Sister Rich gave a wonderful class on compassionate service- And she is the right one for the job. She is so crazy amazing! She just serves EVERYONE. Yesterday she spoke in church, made lunch for us and a recent convert, drove the recent convert home, drove us to the rehab facility to help Sandie, went to and spoke at a baptism for the other sisters, helped clean up after- THEN this morning we got a call about a sister that passed away in the ward and needed help cleaning up. So we ran by- and sister rich was already there- with a trailer attached to her car to help the people move all the stuff out of the apartment. Talk about service oriented! AND she is just so positive ALL the time. I want to serve like she does- she literally lifts people everywhere she goes. I am grateful for the example that she has given me. You learn so many wonderful things as a missionary! Sister Rich shared a quote with us. It says, "By DOING, we get to practice until we BECOME." SO true!! In order to become we have to DO that thing. I really have been thinking about that this week. What do I want to become? and what does the Lord want me to become? Yay progression! Heavenly Father has such a wonderful plan. I am so grateful for the atonement of Jesus Christ- so that we CAN change. As we become more like the Lord- he will trust us with people that need our help. That has been the main lesson that I have learned this week. As we seek to do the Lords will- he will place people in our paths that need our help and service. I have just grown to love the people here so much. It has been such a blessing to be here in Texas serving. The Lord is doing more for me than I could ever do for him. I am so grateful that he is patient and trusting enough to let a crazy 21 year old spread his gospel. This experience has really helped me to gain a eternal perspective, to think outside the box, and to be more like the savior. ITs a work in progress!!</div>

Hello!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="margin-left: 4px;">
Howdy!! From "Corpus Chrispy!!" -hahaha mom</div>
<div style="margin-left: 4px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I hope all had a wonderful Mothers day yesterday! It was so great to see you family! Man. I can't believe that happened. =D haha my time measurement is completely missionary focused- it feels surreal. It was so wonderful to catch up for a few moments. I just love you all so much!! I am convinced that I have the best family in the entire world. I do! =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
SOOOOO- We had a crazy week! -as usual. I am now in Corpus!! AGAIN!! We got the transfer calls on Monday night- I am in the area of Weber (not pronounced like our high school- but like 'web'- like a spiders web- 'er'. It is on the mainland of corpus, and so far it has been great. My new companion is Sister Price- she is wonderful! We are already having loads of fun- and working hard. We both came in new to the area- She is a new STL. So we are Pink washing! - which means that we are basically starting from scratch in the area. It is fun to have a new clean slate. Sister Price is from Gilbert Arizona, is the youngest of 4 girls. And has about 3 months left on her mission. She is a hoot!</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
After we got the transfer calls I packed up- relatively quickly- then went around and said goodbye to people. It is so weird not being there anymore!! I literally became part of the furniture I was there for so long. It is crazy being in a new place. It is hard to say good bye!! I got so attached to the wards, members, and people there. AND its weird not to me with Hermana Kreis! WE had so much fun together as well. Tuesday morning we met at the church for transfers- We had a little pow wow with President Maluenda- he assigned the new greenies to their trainers- then we loaded up the stuff! Sister Price and I drove the car all the ways up to corpus. It was a bout a 3 hour drive. The moment we 'landed'- we started running around like crazy people- and have been running ever since. So that has been super fun! We are basically trying to get to know the area, meet all the members, and find people. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We have seen some huge miracles already! We have found 7 new investigators this week. That has been a huge blessing. The area is prepared!! =D I am really excited for the new transfer- everything is new! Just when you get comfortable- that's when you get moved! And EVERYTHING is new. So I am grateful for the learning expierence. AND- I get to go work on the island this week!! With sister Vargas!! I am so excited. I was able to see the Island folk at church on sunday. It was so good to see old friends. =D So that will be fun. We are just working hard. I will give more deets on the area when I know more!! =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
My studies have been really great lately. I have been reading the scriptures all in Spanish (of course). And I just finished the book of Alma and started up with Helaman today!! I love the Book of Mormon so much!! It is literally written for out day. One of the stories that I love from the book of Mormon is the strippling warriors. In alma 58 there are some really great versus that we can relate to our lives. In this part of the story Helaman is writing to Moroni- and catching him up on what had been happening. His little army didn't have much provisions and they were going through a rough time. So they prayed! in v 10: they prayed with all the energy of their souls for strength. Then after their prayer of faith- they trusted that the lord would help them. I love this next verse- V12: "And we did take courage with our small force which we had received, and were fixed with a determination to conquer our enemies, and to maintain our lands, and our possessions, and our wives, and our children, and the cause of our liberty." They prayed with faith- then took courage-with a FIXED DETERMINATION to conquer. They had a purpose behind what they were doing. I related it to myself with missionary work (haha because I am a missionary of course) but I think it relates in any situation we are confronted with. Things get crazy at time- but if we pray with faith- then do ALL we can- with a fixed determination- everything will be okay. And we will have the strength of the lord with us. Helaman's little army was able to conquer the cities by strategy- and because of their faith in the Lord. We too can conquer the little 'battles' that we have daily. IT is all according to the plan. I love the gospel!</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sorry this email is so scattered! My brain is in 73 different places =D. But I love you all! Hope you have a wonderful week! Remember the little things- prayer, reading, church!! That is how we can make it through. I love the gospel and I love being a missionary!! </div>

Hello humans of Utah!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
WE HAD A CRAZY WONDERFUL WEEK. It was wonderful for my last week here in Mcallen. I AM GETTING TRANSFERED!! I just found out yesterday. The catch is that I don't know where I am going. So I am just in limbo land. So I will let you all know next week where I ended up. =D I will probably either go to Corpus again- or to Harlingen. But we will see later on! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
It has been really hard to say good bye to everyone! MAN. After 6 transfers (9 months) in an area you get pretty attached. But I am excited for this next part in my missionary adventure.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week was literally insane! I always think that I have experienced all that could possibly happen- but I always get surprised with the week that comes. haha. it is crazy. SO we had a wonderful crazy miracle this week! (like 25 actually.. but I will start with this one) So last p-day during emails- Elder Neil (one of the office senior missionaries) called to give us a referral. her name is Maribel. She had been calling all the different LDS chapels around -trying to get sister missionaries to come and teach her. She finally got a hold of another senior sister that works in the employment office- and told her "Hello! I am looking for sister missionaries to come teach me. I think I am ready do get baptized." So sister Clemets called Elder Neil- who called us and told us the news. So we called her right away. Sister Kreis talked to her on the phone- and tried to set up an appointment with her on tuesday- and she asked us if we could come sooner. So we rescheduled our evening plans and whent to meet her at 7:30. We also took Juanita (Rebeca's tia) to the lesson to fellowship her. We went and had a beautiful lesson about the restoration. She also told us her story- She had been taught 20 years ago by elders. She had a doubt about baptism- and the elders stopped going by. She then searched through ALL the churches (jehova witness, 7th day adventist, catholic, protestant..you name it!) And recently she has felt in her heart that she needs to join "the church that those boys went to". She told us about all these crazy blessings that she has recieved- and she knows that she needs to give back to God. And she wants to be baptized! She is set for the 18th of May. It has been a wonderful miracle. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We had another lesson with her on wednesday and went over the Book of Mormon- then we had an awesome church tour on saturday. AND SHE CAME TO CHURCH!! AND- brought her 2 daughters. It was wonderful. Sister Kreis and I both shared our testimonies- and Maribel was just crying the entire meeting. The spirit was there. (yay!! I love when an investigators first Sunday is fast and testimony sunday!! ALL the sweet primary kids got up and shared their testimonies. They are such little angels!) So that was wonderful. THEN- remember Elena and Lesly? They are investigators that I had way back with Sister Ninataype- for the last couple weeks we have been working with them again. Saturday we went- and invited them to church and made a plan to get them there. AND THEY CAME. =D I was up sharing my testimonio and they walked in! BEST THING EVER. That was a christmas miracle for sister wiser! I have been working with them for so long. They are also set for the 18 of May. It was so funny- Elena is afraid of water! so we gave her a pep talk. Then just accepted a date. =D yay.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
THEN- We went by last week to talk to a less active/ recent convert that was baptized like a year and a half ago- her name is Sister Davis. And we ended up teaching her and the guy that she cares for (she is a provider for him). His name is Bob. And after the little message we shared Bob went on to <a href="http://mormon.org/">Mormon.org</a> and sent himself in as a referral for us to come teach. So we went back and he is also preparing to be baptized. And he came to church too! So we had Elena and Lesly, Bob, Maribel and her 2 daughters. It was such a miracle Sunday! I am so glad that the new sister coming in will have so much to do! that is the best feeling ever. It is sad to miss the progression of the poeple I love so much!- but I know there will be more people to love in my next area. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
So that was a wonderful miracle- THEN (haha there is more!)- we were given another Referral by the Neils. They live in our area- and have made freinds with all the neighbors. They are so celestial! So we went to talk to them- and the Dad (Mike) had a stroke not to long ago- so he is confined to a wheel chair and cant move one side of his body. It is super sad- but he handles it with such grace. And his daughter Gracie is wonderful too. We we went in and taught them the restoration. The spirit was there super strong. They are so prepared to receive the gospel!! At the end of every restoration lesson we always invite people to pray- so they can get a spiritual confirmation about joseph smith. So Gracie said the last prayer- and she started crying. It was one of the most beautiful heartfelt prayers i have ever heard. After her prayer we waited for a moment- and then asked her how she felt. She said "I know that this is true. And I feel that God loves me." man, the spirit was thick in there! It was wonderful. They both accepted baptismal dates for June 1st. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love the work! I love being a missionary. There is a great scripture that i read this week. In D&C 84: 88 "And whoso <sup>a</sup><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/84?lang=eng#" id="footnote188" rel="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=dc-testament&bookUri=dc&chapterUri=84&noteID=88a"><span style="color: navy;">receiveth</span></a>you, there I will be also, for I will go <sup>b</sup><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/dc-testament/dc/84?lang=eng#" id="footnote189" rel="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=dc-testament&bookUri=dc&chapterUri=84&noteID=88b"><span style="color: navy;">before</span></a> your face.

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I have really felt this this week. The spirit has been here, and I literally feel the angels! I love being a missionary! As people accept the gospel- they are literally accepting the savior. He is present in the lessons. =D I love it!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope you all have a wonderful week! Remember what is most important- the little things in life count. Pray-Read- Church-Service. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
LOVE YOU!!!</div>

Hello lovely people!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This week has been great. We saw some great miracles and learned some wonderful lessons. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
REBECA got baptized!! Yay!!!! She is such a wonderful Senora!! I love her with my whole soul. She was so dang prepared- and the baptismal service was beautiful. I have just been on cloud 9 for the past few days. We had a lesson with her the first of the week- and prepared her for the interview. She was interviewed on friday- and passed with flying colors. She had been studying with the elders in Mexico a while back- but she wasn't quite ready then. But she sure was ready now! Yay! - I am grateful that those elders planted the seed in her heart. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then sunday came around- and we had to run to the english ward (the english and spanish both start at 10:00- and they are 15 minutes away from eachother) then after the sacrament we ran to the spanish ward. It was wonderful. Then right after we had the baptism. There was a lot of ward support- haha and the ward brought the entire primary with them! So the baptism was full of little angels. i wish i could have taken a picture of it when Rebeca went into the font- like 12 little kids all gathered around to watch- they were all so reverent. It felt like a little peice of heaven in the room. The talks were great- Sister Kreis talked on the holy Ghost- and one of the amazing members gave a talk on baptism. She is a convert of 1 year!- and she is now helping with the work of salvation. I love it. After the baptism- I did a special musical number. I did the tune of "Savior, Reedemer of my Soul"- but the song is not in spanish- so i fould one in the spanish hymn book that fit the measures and tempo. it woked out. I love belting out Jesus songs. =D Rebeca's Tia closed off the service with a beautiful heartfelt prayer. She had been less active for 10 years- and just started coming back. her daughter-in-law and her Neice came into the fold because of her faith! So wonderful how the lord works. The spirit was there super strong. it was such a special experience that I will treasure all my life.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love the Spirit! The feeling and the peace it brings is uncomparable to anything else. it is so worth it to keep our covenants, serve Heavenly Father, and do the best we can- so we can have the spirit with us constantly. What a blessing. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We also had a crazy amount of dinner appointments yesterday too! MAN Gordita Wiser!! hahaha. We ate with Rebeca and Juana- then we went to a member- and she fed us. THEN we went and ate with the Neils- a wonderful senior couple that work in the office. THEN- our Suarez family fed us too. =D we took the guitar out yesterday and sang hymns to people. So that was fun.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I just love being a missionary! I love the work! I love the feeling of the spirit, and watching it change people. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a wonderful week!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">

<div>
HERE IS THE NEWS!!</div>
<div>
The transfer i come home has been changed to a week earlier. So my official release date will be September the 3rd. So i will only miss like 2 days of school. =D What happened was this- President Maluenda has a special meeting with sister maluenda the week of my original release date- and he couldn't have done the transfer AND go to salt lake for the meeting. So the transfer will be a week short. Crazy right? Last week- i was really praying hard. and i just asked Heavenly father to make it work out. And he did. It will all be okay- AND i can finish out my mission with the group that i came out with. I am SOOO dang blessed. Get those next 2 days off of work if you can. I am seriously inviting you to come to college with me. =D PLEASE COME WITH ME. I will sleep on the floor. =D Consider yourself offically invited to come to college with your 21 year old daughter. =D yay! i love you momma. </div>

Hello dear family!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I hope your easter was wonderful! We had a great easter weekend. SOOOO many people were out and about! So that was fun talking to everyone. For an easter lunch we went to the Villegas family! A great little hispanic family that i love. She made us Posole- which is like soup kinda- and Cow tongue taquitos. So yup!! I had cow tongue for easter! haha yay missonary work. it actually wasnt too back. ALL the people were out having carne asadas- and everyone wanted pictures (pass-along cards) of Jesus. So that was great. This week was super nuts. We had 3 exchanges- and a ton of craziness in our area as well. So we were running all week long!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I got to do an exchange with my hija!! Sister Petersen! It was super good to talk to her and work with her again! I love her so much! =D We had some crazy stuff happen too. haha just like the good old times in corpus. We taught about 7 restoration lessons(short 15 minute)- and were able to find some new invstigators for their area. So that was a miracle. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then on saturday we did another exchange on saturday with the sisters that live in our apartment. Sister Wonnacott and Sister Sarmiento(from chile). They are both wonderful sisters. I was with sister sarmiento and we had the biggest miracle ever!! We were riding bikes all day- talking to a million people- and we saw this women outside cleaning her cooler out. so we went and started talking to her and started teaching her right there about the restoration. THE WOMEN WAS SOOOO PREPARED. We taught it super breifly- using the pamphlet- and testified super strong about Joesph Smith. And she understood everything! So at the end we invited her to pray to know if Joseph Smith really did see heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. So she did. AND the spirit just whoooshed right in. As she finished her prayer she had tears in her eyes. We asked her how she felt- and she put her had over her heart and said- "I feel something here that I have never flet before!" We helped her to recognize the spirit and the answer she recieved. Then she accepted a baptismal date for the 18 of may. It was such a miracle! She was SOOOO prepared. Every week I my testimony grows bigger and bigger that the Lord leads his missionaries to prepared people- ones that are ready to act on the gospel principles. it is wonderful! It was one of the most powerful 1st lessons that i have had on my mission! And its is even better that she is in the other sisters area- So they can work with her and see more miracles! yay!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
AND---- Another miracle story! Rebeca- our investigator that we have been working with for about a month and a half- is getting baptized this coming sunday!! yay!!! She was having the problem keeping the sabath day holy- because she is here from mexico to work- and she works on sundays. But she make the decision to quit her job in order to keep the commandments of God. talk about an act of faith!! She is so ready! AH I just love her. AND- when sister Garry was here with us- we actually found rebeca, and her cousin Saul- and his wife were there too- Saul and Sandra ended up being in the area of the elders- but she got baptized yesterday and it was such a beautiful experience. The room was PACKED full of members there to support her. The night before her baptism Sandra texted us and invited us to come. It was SOOO great. I love little tender mercies. </div>

I love these scriptures. It still amazes me that Jesus Christ did that for each one of us. I feel so blessed to be a member of HIS church, and to have access to the atonement and blessings God has in store for us. Jesus truly is the Christ, the Son of God, who came to redeem all mankind who would harken to his voice! I love you all! Have a wonderful week.</div>

Hello Humans of Utah! and other places.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Ha! this week has been the most crammed week of my entire mission. Sister Kreis and I worked SOOOO hard!! we had a bunch of miracles. It is amazing how the Lord just keeps blessing us! The theme for this week was obedience. And the importance of obedience in the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Man! it is important!! We literally read Mosiah 2:41 about 700 times this week. SO many people struggle with the commandments. Even members of the church. It is crazy. I loved reading the scripture- everytime i got something new out of it.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
"41 And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and <sup>a</sup><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/mosiah/2?lang=eng#" id="footnote96" rel="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=bofm&bookUri=mosiah&chapterUri=2&noteID=41a"><span style="color: navy;">happy</span></a> state of those that keep the commandments of God.

We were having a lesson with a family that I absolutley adore- they have become such wonderful friends in the time I have had here. And recently they have had random outside activites pull them away from church. so- We read this scripture with them and broke it down- and I had a new insight! So I will share it with you. As we are obedient to our covenants- baptismal...ect- we are blessed with the spirit. The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead- that literally can help us out in every level of our lives. As we have the spirit with us we can develope chirstlike attributes and spritual gifts. Every good gift comes from God- and since we are made in the image of God- when we cultivate spiritual gifts - we are literally becoming MORE like God. The more we develop spiritual gifts- its kinda like Heavenly Father smoothing out our rough edges. We get purified. By the end of our lives- if we keep up this pattern- keep covenants, have the holy ghost, are constantly trying to be more like Jesus Christ- we can one day dwell with God in his Celestial kingdom. It just makes sense! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
No wonder Heavenly Father kids get baptized at the age of 8! It is a life long process of purification. Pretty cool. Hope that made sense- it makes sense in my little brain. Moral of the story is- use the atonement to cultivate spiritual gifts!! haha. I love the scriptures. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
The family really enjoyed the lesson. Man we were bold. We when don't keep the commandments God gives us we are literally sinning. I know that that is not a profound statement- but so many people don't realize it! Going to church made the 10 commandments!- its number 4 for a reason. haha it just prevents so many problems!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I had 2 wonderful exchanges this week. We see so many miracles in exchanges! I learn so much from the sisters. I just love them so much and want them to have success. . The sister I went with is hilarious. We did WORK in her area and were blessed to find 5 new investigators after an entire transfer of only finding 2 people. I have never prayed so hard to find so much in my entire life. I wanted so badly to help this sister to discover the success in her area! and that she can do it! It was an awesome exchange. after teaching 2 lessons to 2 not super prepared people, I had the impression to go back and contact this referral we had forgot about. So we drove back to that area and went to contact the referral- they were really awkward and not interested. So as we were walking back to the car we saw 2 dudes working on a hilarious Mexi-truck. It was a big red, low rider. so we went to talk to them and they pointed us to the people closer to the house. And we talked to the sweetest person ever! She accepted a baptismal date and prayed, it was wonderful and the spirit was there super strong. That was a huge miracle! And the other 15 members of her family live there in that same house! So that was awesome. Small family of 15. That will take up an entire row at the church!! yipee!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Eric- remember him? he got baptized in november- he is finally coming back to church! He came to be a member present with haley this past weekend. Haley is so sweet! She is progressing well.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
And the last miracle that I have time to share is our Sunday miracle. We almost reached ALL our goals this week- but we were lacking some new investigators. So we prayed and went out to get to work. We had a bunch of referrals to contact. We have been getting 25 every week! So our referral pool is pretty deep. -and we went to an area- but forgot about one-(kinda like the exchange expirence, I think the Lord is trying to teach me a lesson.) Sister Kreis had the feeling to go back- so I turned the car around and we headed back. it was a young couple, they invited us right in and accepted a baptismal date! IT was such a testimony builder to me! When we listen for the spirit he will give us the directions that we need. We had prayed to find prepared people to teach- and the lord told us through a prompting he gave to my wonderful companion.It was so wondrful!! </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love my area, I love the wards I serve in, I love the people, I love my companion and I love the Lord. Man! being a missionary is great. Shelby and Stanton- prepare now- you are going to absolutely LOVE your missions. It is such a blessing to serve the Lord.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I know that this is HIS church. As we live worthy of the spirit he will guide and purify us. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
love yall!</div>

Hola!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
What a wonderful and spiritually uplifting week! CONFERENCE WAS AWESOME. I was so sad when it was over. But i learned some amazing things! This week was a week of meetings for us. Sister Kreis and I had MLC and STL training, conference, zone meeting, and interviews with President. So I feel like i was soaked with a spritiual fire hydrant. It was wonderful. its funny- because i always feel like I cant fit another ounce of knowledge in my brain- but then I do! I love how the Gospel works. Line upon line- precept upon precept. We also had some great miracles for the week! it is amazing how the Lord leads and guides us to his prepared people. After one of the meetings this week- we went out to work- and decided to contact some referrals that we had received. The first guy wasn't interested- but he referred us to his neighbor who was a childhood friend. So we ran over there and taught him the first lesson and invited him to be baptized! He accepted- it was crazy because he kinda looked like dad does when he has a go-t( how do you spell that kind of a beard? Go-Tee... Goh-Ti.. i don't know.) ;) Anyways it was really great! He gave us some referrals to. Then we had recieved a Member referral- and went to contact it- and the actual lady that we were looking for had moved- but the new people living there let us in. We were able to teach a first lesson with them as well and set a BD. So that was a great miracle. You can see the spirit work in people when they pray for the first time! Or when they hear the experience of Joseph Smith. It is SOOO wonderful! Remember Elena and Lesly? we were teaching them back in november and december- they weren't quite ready last time. But this week we were driving by and I saw Elena outside. So we quick pulled over and ran over to talk to her. Turns out she is having a really rough time right now. And has been praying for help. So we set up a return appointment for last night and went. She talked out ears off for the first 20 minutes- But we were able to turn the focus the the 1st vision and the restoration- which is really the only thing that will help us to overcome challenges in our lived. If we know that the Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ- and we know that he was called as a prophet- we know that we can recieve direct guidance from the Lord and from his Modern Day prophet. From that revelation- we can live our lives according to true gospel principals that keep us safe. We can also know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God- and by building a foundation on him- we can make it through any storm.- So- the restoration is SUPER DANG IMPORTANT. Yay! But we had a really awesome lesson with them. Lesly is such a prepared child! she is 11 years old and so pure. We showed her a picture of the first vision and asked her what was happening in it and she said (without knowing the experience at all)- "oh, God and Jesus are talking to that little boy." Her insights were so inspired. It is no wonder that Chirst invited us all to become like little children. Elena closed with a prayer.. It was really wonderful. =D</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Man- I don't even know where to start with conference this week. It was so so so good. I loved every session. We watched it in the La Vista Chapel- where the mission office is. it is also the chapel we go to every sunday. So that was really wonderful. Elder Hollands talk saturday morning was Crazy. In the days we live in we really need to stand for what we know to be true. He said, "as we honor God's call- we will have Heavenly Father on our side." SO TRUE. As we stand up for our beliefs Heavenly Father backs us up. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sister Linda Reeves talk was super powerful. I dont remember ever hearing a Sister talk about pornography in general conference. That just shows you the type of world we live in. I loved her recipe for keeping families safe. -Daily scripture study, Daily prayer, FHE- EVERY week.- These are things we hear ALL the time- but it is the recipe for success. I loved her focus on keeping- everything that mattered most- the focus. She said that sometimes the house was left a little messy, or there were dishes in the sink- but they read the scriptures and strengthened eachother with the good word of God. POWERFUL.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
There was a ton of talk on tornados and storms- build a good foundation on christ. =D</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I LOVED ROBERT D HALES TALK ON OBEDIENCE. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
He said "be careful who you follow." It just made me think that we really live in a crazy world- that doesn't understand the concept of obedience. It is a heavenly principle. I have really learned that if we love the Lord- we will keep his commandments. Another powerful thing he said was this: "Why do people choose to be disobedient when we know the eternal consequence? Because they love Satan MORE than they love God." AHHHH. Mayday!! That really puts things into perspective. Anyways i really liked that one.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
M Russel Ballard was awesome too! yay missionary follow up! There is a great chapter about that in PMG. hint hint. =D haha.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I think it was powerful that he felt so strongly to follow up on his past conference talks- that means that we didn't follow through with the council. Woops. Good thing there is repentance. ;) I loved his invitation to invite 4 people a year to come unto christ. Think of ALL the children of God that would enjoy the blessing we enjoy if we were to all do that. I also loved his example in ACTS- with peter and the lame man. how he reached out his hand and pulled him up- THEN walked into the temple with him. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I think my favorite was President Monson's talk. About love. Really charity is the base of all things. Because God Loves us he sent his son here for us. When we love god- we will keep his commandments. Love really takes obedience to a deeper level- we do things because we love the Lord- not just because we know we have to. President monson is such a powerful example of that! I am working on developing real charity. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I love the Gospel. I feel so blessed to be one of God's misisonaries. I know Joseph Smith was called to be aprophet of god- that he was the messenger that restored the TRUE church on the earch. Through God's power he translated the Book of mormon. I know the book of mormon is true. Jesus Christ is our Savior and redeemer. He died so we can all live- free from sin- as we keep our covenants and strive to be like him.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a wonderful week!</div>

Hello familia!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope you are all having a wonderful last day of march! Crazy! This week has been chuck full of miracles. =D i have enjoyed every second of it. So- With transfers!! I am still here! in the area of La Vista. I am really greatful that i have another transfer to work here. it is great!! Sister Kreis is with me. Hermana Garry went to open a new STL area in harlengin. She is a boss! She will do great.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then- we had another companionship move into our apartment! Sister Wonnacott(sister kreis trained here) and her Greenie! Her name is sister sarmiento- and she is from chile! She was in the MTC for about 3 months learning english. She is the sweetest! Estoy pasando Chancho- is a chilean phrase- its like "everything is great!" or "we are cool!" haha it is cute. we are teaching her little dichos as well. =D Our spanish is improving a lot to! yay.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Sister Sanders finished her misison this past week! Man!! My mission mom is home!! That means that i am offically an old sister missionary. I had a good talk with her. I am so grateful for great examples. I know the Lord really does put us with the companions that we need- in the times that we need them. what a blessing!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
WOMENS CONFERENCE WAS WONDERFUL!! Yay!! It was like a great little apetizer right before general conference this week! WAHOOO!! The spirit was there super strong. I loved how they talked about being a covenant keeper. and being the Lords hand in serving others. there is always a spiritual "help wanted sign." So great! Go and read the tafile:///Users/laurawiser/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail%20Downloads/9F9C4007-2225-4AF7-A54E-FF1D05F1D50E/DSC05717.JPGlks. The music was super wonderful too! It just makes me tear up. Especially when the darling primary girls began singing. That was a POWERFUL message! We as (future) Mothers need to teach the children to walk in the light. Man! I loved that! Way to go Sister Wixum.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Then- we had a great miracle! We went to visit kassandra, the rest of the family wasnt home- so we decided to stay and have a book of mormon reading session with Kassandra. She has started reading on her own! Which is great! She was at the beginning of 1 nephi 7. So we read out loud and discussed what we were all learning. MAN! some of her insights shocked me! They were awesome. We then read chapter 8- the tree of life- and she got it. We started to ask her what she thought the tree, path, iron rod, and mist of darkness meant to her. And she NAILED it. It is amazing watching the spirit teach. I learned a few new things as well- so the spirit was definatley there. At the very end she said, "I am going to keep reading this book, because I never want to fall away." She was referring to the people that wandered off and got lost in the midst of darkness. It was so refreshing! I love the Holy Ghost! I love watching people progress in the gospel. It really is step by step. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Alejandra- kassandras sister- is already reading clear in 2 nephi. She is cruisen! And Abuelito Giron was in Alma 4 when we visited with them on friday. So wonderful. Conversion really does come throught the book of mormon. Take time to study it out!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Love you all!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Enjoy conference!!! WAHOOOOO!!! I am so excitied!!! Take good notes! I expect to hear what yall learned!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Have a wonderful week!</div>

Hello Family!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Hope you all had a wonderful week. Our week was super dang busy!! So Transfers!!!- we still dont know. And they are tomorrow. haha. Yay crazy mission life. This transfer is a really big transfer because 10 zone leaders, 1 assistant, and a bunch of District leaders finishing their missions and heading home. So President has been super busy! The original transfer was that sister Garry was going to go to Donna- BUT she is super allergic to dogs! And cant live in sister Chamberlins house because of her three dogs. So we are in limbo land with transfers right now. I could stay- or I could Go. Or sister Kreis could Stay. Or she could Go. So that where we are. I guess you will find out next week! haha. I have a hunch that sister Kreis will be going to Donna- sister Garry and I will stay for one more. Then next transfer they will send me to Corpus. To finish. But that is just Sister Wiser speculation. Good thing that President Maluenda is a inspired servant of God! He knows what the Lord wants, and what the Lord wants is best. I am just happy to be her for the ride. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
We have been having some really great/ crazy experiences this past little while. Haha i really wish that you could all see the TMM trio in action. We have WAY too much fun. So- This week we found some really great people. We were knocking the door of an investigator that we have (named Letecia), and her neighbor randomly opened the door (she heard us singing... haha we are loud!). So we contacted the neighbor and she invited us to come in and teach her and her big brother. Her name is Haley(13) and her brother is Matthew(17). They have a crazy story. Their dad is a truck driver- So he is never there(we actually met the dad outside about 2 weeks ago- God has been preparing their family!!). Their mom died 2 years ago from a drug overdose. Just by how they speak you can tell the kind of things that they have been through in their lives. They live in a super humble apartment with no furniture really. But they are so prepared!! We taught them the restoration and set baptismial dates with them. The spirit was there and they were both so quick to catch on. You could just tell how hungry their souls were for the gospel. It is wonderful. Yesterday after church we went back for our return apointment and their dad was there! So we did a book of mormon lesson- and gave each of them their own copy. And their dad gave us permission to continue teaching them. I think he was relieved that they would be talking about Jesus instead of roamin the streets of Mcallen. So that was a blessing! They are such strong spirits! They just need to be led on the right path. =D Yay! Good thing that we have the right path. =D So that was a miracle. We meet with the kids again on tuesday.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Remember the Giron family? They have been a little off the radar for about a month now. We went back- and the mom has been super sick. So we called some brothers from the Pharr ward to come and give her a blessing. Home teaching in its finest. I love it when members teach and invite investigators to come to church. And while we were there Abuelito Giron( the mom's dad) started talking to us. AND HE TOLD US THE ENTIRE STORY OF NEPHI. He literally read ALL of 1st nephi and is somewhere in 2 nephi. It was awesome. He was reading about baptism and had some questions about it- so he found the gospel pamphlet we left. He told us he wants to be baptized- BUT he is afraid of the water. So this week we will be going and setting up a baptismal date for him! He is wonderful! It is crazy- When we went for lessons we never even thought to focus on Grandpa! The Lord knows. We found out that a million years ago in honduras Grandpa Giron and his wife used to feed the missionaries every week. They never got baptized- but they have been prepared for a long time. Miracles!</div>

OH!! I Got chased by a bassett hound this week. I dang near died. So I was on exchages with Sister Price in Hildalgo and we went to contact this referral that we had recieved. Outside of the house there was this hilarious bassett hound- with its super long ears and droopY eyes. In my head i just kept thinking about the disney movie "fox and the hound'. The part where the little dog says "I'M A HOUND DOG! RHOOOO-ROOOOROOOO". Anyways- i was being tough- and not afriad of this dog. but it just kept getting closer and barking louder. He was freaking me out! So finaly i gave and started running! and So both me and sister price were running and screaming. ALL the neighbors that were outside stopped what they were doing to see what the ruccus was all about. Just two little sister missionaries running from a stupid houd. It was funny. I think we grew some abs- because we laughed so hard. After- we did go to the neighbor who was outside and teach her the restoration. New investigators! haha. So it works out. =D</div>

OH MY. Something else hilarious happened to. So we had another referral that we were going to contact and this sketch guy opened the door. He wasn't interested in learning more- so we asked him if he knew of anyone that could use a message about Jesus Christ. He said "OH YEAH- you can go visit my Baby mamma."(classy eh?) he then went on to explain the drama that was going on in his life. So we wrote down the address- and right before we walked away- sweet Sister Kreis turned and said! "Oh! Brother! Do you have any other baby mommas that we could go visit?" It took ALL my strength not to laugh out loud. It was probably the best referral question that I have ever heard. Leave it to sweet, innocent Sister Kreis. As we walked to the car she was like. "Awe man.. that was a horrible question. Jesus would never ask that question. I'm sorry Heavenly Father!" We have been laughing about that all week. I LOVE MY COMPANIONS.</div>

Where to start! This week just flew by so fast. We taught a lot of lessons this week- which was awesome. I love having a full agenda!! it is the best!! SO-- some updates. Remember Karla? Her parents wont allow to be baptized... =( Saddest thing ever. BUT its okay- because God know the perfect time for her. And preparing for herself for So long will really bless her. Remeber in my 1st area- Kalena? She finished her personal progress before she was able to get baptized. it was the same kind of situation. And she is now fully happy in the gospel. Pray for her and her parents- A miracle still could happen. Because she has permission to meet with us and come to church. =D So that is good.</div>

Another day this week we had to run to the office to drop something off. And we walk in- and Sweet Sister Neil (one of the office missionaries) was talking to a young mother and her little girl. She was making them sandwhiches and bring them water. The tire on their car had blown up/out</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
(whatever the term is) right in the parkinglot of the church. So the Dad ran into the office- looking to use the phone- but Sister neil had a jack for him to use. She then brought the wife and daughter in while he was fixing the tire. We walked in at the perfect moment and sang for them. Then we sat down and taught them the 1st lesson. Invited them to be baptized and they accepted! So we will be having the 2nd lesson with them this week! Haha crazy how the Lord works sometimes! he just helped them to stop right infront of the church! And they are SOOOO prepared! They quit going to church because they are looking for the full truth! They found it! Yay! It was such a wonderful lesson, and it was so great to have sister neil participating. I loved all of it.</div>

Another wonderful miracle happened. It was approaching 9:00- when the sisters turn into pumpkins (haha) and we were visiting someone in our apartment complex- and there was an elderly lady sitting outside- enjoying the weather. And so we stopped to talk with her. We asked her if she knew of anyone that was going through a difficutl time and could use the light of Christ more fully in their lives. She answered yes, and gave us the address to her son, George. George was in a really bad car accident about 30ish years ago- and it ended up disabling him- physically. he has a hard time speaking and walking. But he is the smartest sweetest man! We went and had a lesson with him. And he told us that he knew it was true. Hahahaha it was SOOO funny. He said something that We didn't quite catch and sister Garry said "OH- he wants to make us napales!'. George was like "um... no" (napales is a cactus thing that they make edible.) it was hilarious. I love my companions. He is preparing for the 20th of April. So that is wonderful. The Lord is blessing us with SOOO many people. We are busy. I love it!</div>

THEN- President called us and asked us to do a musical number for a stake conference that Elder Roberts came to. So we call the 2 zones that were involved and set it up. it was great. One of the sisters was on the flute. Sister Kreis played the piano (we made up a cool arangement) And then I divided up different parts. There were about 45 missionaries. We sang 'Onward Christian Soldiers'. It was perfect wrap up to a stake conference about missionary work. The spirit was there super strong! I feel so blessed to be apart of the work! Onward! Ever Onward! Those are just a few of the miracles we have seen lately. the Lord is really hastening his work. I LOVE IT! Yay! I Have such a testimony that the Lord really is in charge of his work. He is the one that is leading and directing it through it holy prophet. We all need to do our part in the work of salvation. THIS IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT. -Helping our brothers and sisters make it back to the presence of the Father. </div>
