Get Ready for the Last Conference in the mission field!

Hey Familia


Well I thought the super moon was gonna be a lot more super... and plus the world didn't end so i don't know what the hype all was for...

just kidding, it was pretty cool, us and the hermanas sat outside and watched it for a good while (we live together! its a party!) ... then we realized what time it was and immediately went to bed... whoops!

This week I have been really reflection on my mission. I hit 14 months. sister young hit 16 months. so we have been talking about our missions a TON. there are so many things I want to share but this is one!

 the importance of Family. My momma and Dad do everything and anything for us kids! and they are just the coolest people to ever live! my siblings (even though they dont write me) are my best friends!

I am just so glad that I will get to be with these people or eternity! 

this week was good, we had an STM and I think that was the best training Sis.Yong and I have given together, they we had exchanges with the sisters in Ponca, so I got to be with a greenie all day! I love greenies! They are by far my favorite missionaries. Saturday womens conf. was wonderful! Then on Sunday I got to give a talk in Spanish at the Spanish groups sacrament! Spanish is still much easier to teach then english... i dont know why, so that was nice to use my spanish. I have yet to forget it so thats good! 

well fam dam, love you all so so much! and I hope you go watch conference with a specific question. We are promised that we will get an answer. so before this weekend come up with a question. I have mine so you best get yours! 

les quiero tan mucho!

Another Transfer!! Enjoying her life in Stillwater! :)

well, looks like we have planned for a great transfer! we have 2 more sister companionships in the zone, so now we will be doing many more exchanges! which are always fun! Nothing is more humbling than going on exchanges with these fantastic sisters!

We had quite a good week full of miracles! Turns out God does not want me to teach the gospel to Americans, because just about All The people we are teaching are all from Asia! 1 from China, 1 from Korea, and 2 from Vietnam! It has been quite the experience and I love learning all these new cultures! 

Its so fun teaching these people because they have zero back round about God, or anything! so we start from the very basics and its incredible the growth that they have had! Our China girl (Sun) she is so prepared, and just loves everything! she reads the BOM everyday and says she can feel her life getting better everyday! Our vietnam friends (Yen+Tuan) they told us they want to believe so badly and they actually came to church on Sunday and brought their friends! and LOVED IT! Yen has the unmistakable Light in her eyes! she is hungry and so ready to change! its been "AMAZING!" 

our other miracle, every saturday we do a district finding activity, so 12 missionaries all do something together to find new inv. This week it was sis. Young and my turn to plan it. So we got ourselves into a parade! we made signs and threw candy and lots of stuff! it ened up really cool!

But it was a good! week and Im looking forward to more!

les quiero tan mucho!

Still working hard

Heeyyyyyyyy family (buster bluth voice) 

I dont even know what happend last week..

Monday: Enid day hung out with the Enid missionaries and gave a training on Unity, it went pretty dang well, then had a 2 hour drive home that night, so we got in at like 10:30... whoops! our bad!

Tuesday: We went to this little country town Perry where we have some investigadores and less actives so spent the dad trying to see people 

Wednesday: we go and talk to people with the OSU sisters on campus every week and we talked to some really cool people, especially now that school has started there are TONZ!

Thursday: we did  our big day of weekly planning, then went to get the oil changed and we have now started to take institute! our pres has asked us to take institute now so thats what we will be doing every Thursday (we do get credit!) 

Friday: had district meeting, did a lot of potencial visits and visited this recent convert family, watched the Jose Smith movie with them and the little boy who is 11 said "he did that with the Melchizedek priesthood! it was so cool to see how he know the difference between the two!

Saturday: we had a huge storm and our power went out for 5 hours! we no light and no flash lights.... (there are four of us who live together and we are dumb enough not to have flash lights) So we couldint study and we watched 17 miracles instead... Then the storm finally went away! we went to a thai cafe and it was so good! then that night a member tried to take us to eskimo joes, but the wait was WAYY to long, so we went to this really good italian place instead.. I guess I will get skinny when I get home dang it!

Sunday: church, our investigador came by her self with out her member husband so that was really cool she felt good enough to come with out him! the we ate a lot of food and had cake and ice cream for a b-day party for a member. Like I said, ill get skinny at home I guess... dang it..

and now here we are! these next two weeks should be really busy with exchanges, the temple, meetings, baptism! and lots of other cool things!

But life is good in Stilly! still adjusting to english and new area and I feel very lost right now haha but all is well! 

I was reading a talk the other day, I dont remember exactly what it said, and it was in spanish so it was said a bit different than how english would say it, but We have been chosen for this time, we have been spiritual prepared for this time, We may not be older than the people here, but we are spiritually older because of the time we were prepared to come here in the premortal life. Dont forget your worth as a child for God, dont forget your purpose as his child to bring others unto him with Love, charity and service. I promise as you choose to serve someone each day you are fulfilling your purpose here on earth!

oh and another reason I am fat... we got 1/2 shakes after 8 almost everynight last week.. its a terrible tradition that we decided to discontinue but the PB fudge one tastes like a reeses cup! 

Love you all so very much!
