quickie email

This week, I got super sick haha, i think it was just allergies, and then my body just kicking me in the butt from never sleeping. Its hard to sleep when you live with 4 girls who are all crazy and just laugh about stupid things all night!  But it was good week still!

We are are up in Enid to day cause we are giving a trainging for their Zone-P-day/ STM 

so I dont have lots of time today! 

Jessica officially has the Holy Ghost! SO COOL! best blessing we could ever possibly have from our Heavenly Father! 

Sun is working twards baptism! Dec. 5th is the goal, she is worried for when she goes back to china that it will effect everything in a negative way, so we are still trying to figure out rules of that.. 

But man These Asians are so prepared for the gospel. they want it so bad! I really hope china opens up because the church would be so strong! 

Im greatful for the priesthood, I have really studied it out this week, we would have nothing with out it. It blesses me daily! 

Love you all! have a great week! 

Sorry this email is so lame and I dont have pictures! 

les quiero!

Thanksgiving Week

happy turkey day! im very grateful for you all! hope you have a happy and safe holiday! 

This week was crazy,

Monday: up in Enid for STM, played volly ball and signs, had a really cool training on the 12 step program! I am actually now going through the booklet for the 12 week program to understand it more, its really really inspiring. My view of the atonement has completely changed. The 12 step program is incredibly humbling. So it was a really cool training!

tueday+Wednesday: Sister young ended up with strep, so we were in the house for 2 days! blehh nothing is worst as a missionary! but good thing Jessis' wedding video came in and we watched it 5 times! haha

Thursday! We had lots of weekly planning, we do service at Grace Living center, (old folks' home) and play bingo with them! its super funny! and they tell the greatest craziest stories! then we had institute. Good day

Friday: District Meeting, met with Jessica, and she is doing great! then that night we switched with the OSU campus sisters for exchanges! 

Saturday: I was with sis. Liddell (from South Jordan) and we had a good day! we met this really nice old lady Bernice, but she is moving away this week, so we gave her a BOM and I just send her address to the missionaries in Kansas to go meet her! 

Sunday: we are working with a lot of part members, so we can make sure they one day are sealed and can have their families together forever! we had a lot of success in that! 

Funny: I still dont know the 1st vision in english, so sister young always makes me say it when we get to that part of the lesson, I was so nervous to say it in english lats night I just read it from the pamphlet.. Sister young was laughing but annoyed with me haha it was funny! now she is making me say it in every comp study so I can try to memorize it again! wish me luck!

Welll Fam! I hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving! Happy 27th to my parents! thats a long long time! wahoo!

LEs Quiero tan mucho!

Happy are We

What a wonderful week!

It was crazy busy and we were  non stop from 6am-10m! I am so exhausted and may even be getting a little sick from a crazy stressful week! 

BUT! Jessica has been baptized! we had to start 45 minutes late due to OSU game day traffic and that just us missionaries were at the church waiting for everyone, BUT It was such a special baptism, the spirit was so strong and you could just see the change in her when she came out of that water! She is so happy, and I am so happy! what a wonderful spiritual time! 

We also had quite a few investigators to come and see! it was such a special night! 

Went on exchanges with the Ponca sisters! Sis.Cox and Sis. Griner! I stayed in Stilly with Sis.Cox! we had such a day of miracles! 5 lessons and we had members come with us to each lesson! Members make the BIGGEST difference in lessons, cause then these people can see that not just us missionary freaks are Mormon, but normal people too haha! so it was really good! 

We have been planning a lot for trainings and things, we will give one tonight, and another next monday night up in Enid. 

But ALL IS WELL IN ZION!!!!!!!!

FUNNY: Sunday we put up our christmas tree.... Yeah we are those people.. haha! and the ZL in Enid we work with a lot told us about an apple cider vinegar cleanse, so we all drank apple cider vinegar last night... SUPER FUNNY! SUPPER GROSS!  

love you all so so stinking much!

Noviembre 2? crazy...

This week was really fun! lots of things going on! lots of missionary work and lots of success!

Highlights: 

Tuesday we set up a halloween booth at the downtown halloween fest in stilly! we passed our 100's of cards with our number and talked to 1000 of people! (sis young and I are really good at getting us in the public!) It was really fun!

Halloween: 

we had a few meetings in the morning with the Zone leaders which was good cause thats a hard day to go and see people, But we got to go to a members home that day (with the other 10 missionaries) and we got permission to watch Saratov Approach! So yes we watched a scary movie that day haha! It was super weird to just sit a watch a movie... I never have felt like I have wasted so much time, But we cant go out on halloween so it was the best way to waste that time I guess? But ya, I dont ever want to watch a movie again.... (thats a lie) but it was just so weird and we all agreed it was odd haha!

Jessica:

his saturday we are having a baptism for Jessica! we are so excited! I have never had the opportunity to each someone so prepared for this! the gospel has already blessed her so much and I can not wait to see her grow as she learns more and more! I love Jessica so much and I am so excited for her!

Members: 

we took Sis. Call out last night to see Leroy who was baptized almost a year ago! Sis.Call moved here when I got here, she is from OREM!!!!!!!! so we have a special Orem bond haha! But she got out of that lesson and just loved every part of it! Seriously work with your missionaries, you will have the greatest spiritual experience! 

I flippen love being a missionary its so awesome.

Stillwater Blessings

I don't think I can get through this email with out talking about the tragedy that happened this weekend, and how the lord truly protects his missionaries. 

  For those who dont know, (I think everyone may know now cause it was all over the news) OSU had homecoming this weekend, they have a parade saturday morning before the game, and unfortunately a woman lost control of the wheel and ended up driving straight into the parade. many were injured and some even Killed because of this accident. My heart and prayers truly go out to all who have been effected. I know we have had some contact with a few people who were injured, but those we personally know will be perfectly fine. 

 early this week Sis. Young and I tried to get the missionaries into the parade, we thought it would be a great place to have many people see the church and it would be a great fun finding activity like we have done in the past! When we went to see what we needed to do to get in, the lady told us we were a few days too late, and that we would have been the last float. When we were planning Friday night for what we were going to do on Saturday, we planned to go to the parade and just talk to a bunch of people and hand out Book of Mormons. Thankful when we woke up Saturday morning, we both felt like there were other things we needed to get done (like that dang weekly planning we put off this week haha!) so we stayed home for that. around 1pm is when we heard the news, we called all the missionaries in Stillwater (the ZL's were out of town for exchanges) and everyone had the same prompting that we had and luckily the 12 missionaries here in Stillwater all stayed indoors that day. 

The spirit will prompt us in small ways, we never quite know how he will do it, but just the smallest things can make the biggest difference. I am so grateful that then Plan of salvation is real. That these people can recover from their heart-ache and that the Lord truly has a plan and will do everything in his plan. We may not understand it, or want to accept it, but it is his plan. He knows what is best, all we can do is trust.

The gospel will bless you everyday. It will bless your families. I am so grateful for all the time I have left to serve here in Oklahoma! Still ahve a long journey and I plan on making it exciting! Sis YOung and I have had many miracles, including finding a family who is so prepared! we are working towards their baptism in December!

I love you all so much and hope you see as many blessings in your week as I do! 

p.s. Transfers happened I am staying here with sis.Young to kill her, then I will stay here in stilly until the end! so write me a letter! 

Hermana Joven y yo a la "walk around" el noche antes "homecoming" es una fiesta GRANDE!

Hard Times, Lots of Service

This week: 

Had exchanges with Enid sisters! Sis. Rees came to stilly with me for the day! that was fun! Everything fell through, and no body was home, but it was still a fun day!

We had YW in excellence night! made me think of all the brattyness my YW leaders had to put up with from me... sorry mom... and kim.... and mer... haha But I didnt realize how much I loved YW until I became and old woman :-( They had a Luau and the food was delicious! they were so cute!

we have been doing a lot of service, well trying to... We go walk Dogs at the animal shelter, and its the perfect way to talk to people! people are much more willing to hold a conversation while they are petting you dog! its been great! 

We had lots of success with members and investigators! The mission work in Stillwater 2 is going so well! we are teaching so many people! we had 3 people come to church, and many of the members we have been hoping to see! so its been so great here!

I can for sure see all the prayers working! everything is building up and going well! hopefully it wont come crashing down on us BUT I have faith! many people are changing and I love being a part of it! 

hope you have a wonderful birthday Squat. (Nikki) I cant even belive you are 17!! what the heck?! when did that happen! Love you lots!

Hope you all know how much I love you! How much I love being a missionary! and why I love it! I get to bring this message of "great Joy" and I have truly felt The love our heavenly father has for each and every single one of us. 

Dios te bendiga!
