I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND DIDN'T GET IT POSTED. COLLEEN<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hey y'all.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I feel like we have been celebrating 4th of July all week.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Californians love illegal fireworks.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Fourth of July is my favorite holiday and I am really sad that we miss</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">all the fun! But I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day!</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This week has been pretty busy for us. We have lessons just about</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">every evening. Which is so great! We are teaching this one little boy,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nathan. He is almost 11. His mom is less active so having her in on</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the lessons is even better because she testimony and faith is growing</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">too. Now, Nathan is very intelligent. He asks questions that I have</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">been hoping I would never have to try and answer. Haha thankfully his</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">mom knows how to reel him back in. He had some of those popper things</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that you throw on the ground. He wanted to put them under the car to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">see what would happen as we drove off. Boys.... Well he did and as we</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">were driving off he was just so excited to hear the repeated popping.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Haha</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A sweet lady in our Ward, Sister Bibb, she was teaching Gospel</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Principles, one of the Sunday school classes, and she had a brain</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">aneurism a few couple years ago so she has been affected by that</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">greatly. We helped remember some key concepts, and how to find the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">scriptures. It was so fun to help her with that! It seemed like the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">smallest thing we could do but it meant to world to her!</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Last week we meet a young lady name, Lucero. She is originally from</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Mexico. She was so happy to see us. Previous sisters had given her a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Book of Mormon. We had asked her about it and a amazingly she had read</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">through Nephi! She then told us how she tells her father and family</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">about how she is learning from us. She is such a great example to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">them. We offered her a Spanish Books of Mormon to take to them and she</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was even more excited. We meet with her for a lesson before she headed</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to Mexico for the weekend. We taught about the restoration and she was</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">smiling the whole time! It was so spiritual. There was even a neighbor</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">who was blasting Luke Bryan and the spirit was still able to testify</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to her. Unfortntly, I was getting distracted :p but it was still a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">great lesson! I am so excited to see how she is doing this week.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So the hardest part of being a feeling like a successful missionary is</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">when we try to contact people is when they are not home. We probably</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">have planned to meet about 35/40 people this week and we have meet 1.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">And they didn't want us to come back till next week... But but the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">tender mercy is that Heavenly Father knew where we would be at a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">certain time and I know he places prepared people in our path. Just</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the other day, we were heading back to our car and there was a woman</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">standing in her yard. Not on our way to the car. We went over to say</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">hello. She started asking questions. We answered. My favorite question</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was, "have you read it all?" We answers, "yup!" "I want to do that." I</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">instantly gave her the one I was holding. She said she has been</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">searching for something and she knows we were sent for her. Darn right</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">we were! I asked if she is a hugger and she said, "YES!!!" Grabbed me</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and squeezed me. She squeezed me so hard it popped by back. Hey, it</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">felt good.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So this is a long letter but I am almost done. Haha</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was studying this morning from a talk spcifally for missionaries.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">But I loved reading it! And I thought how well it was fitting for</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">everyone. Here is a little bit of it.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">What manner of men ought ye to be?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Jesus asked a similar question. He said: "What manner of men</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">ought ye to be?" On this particular occasion he was speaking to his</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Nephite disciples and so he spoke in the male gender, but the question</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">applies to us all, and so, He asks of you: "What manner of men and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">women ought ye to be?" Then answering His own question he said, "Even</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">as I am."</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Jesus Christ not only came to atone for our sins; He also came to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">show us the way. He is the Way. You not only may become like Him;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">everything is stacked in your favor to become like Him.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Think of this life as a path on which you never stand still. As</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">you move forward, you incorporate into your being the characteristics</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and qualities of God. As you move backward you assimilate the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">qualities of Satan.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Every challenge you face, every hard thing you confront, every bad</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">thing that happens to you, every unfairness, every conflict, every</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">sadness, tragedy, every disappointment and heartache, every temptation</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and every opposition happens for one purpose only: to give you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">opportunity to respond by applying in your life the teachings of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Jesus. As you do so you are changed to become more like Him.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> If you were never presented with some advantage to be gained by</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">dishonesty, such as recognition, or money, or a better grade on a test</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">or avoidance of punishment or embarrassment, you could never develop</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">integrity. If no one ever offended you, you could never learn to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">forgive or internalize mercy. Were you never wearied by the annoying</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">behavior of another or the repeated failures of someone else you could</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">never become patient. Were you never subjected to the appetites and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">passions of the physical body for food, for water and for sexual</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">fulfillment you could not develop self mastery. Without opposition the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">plan would be frustrated, you could not progress and the purpose of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">life would be unachievable.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> In short when you choose to follow Christ you move forward and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">assimilate attributes of light; when you do not, you move backward and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">acquire attributes of darkness.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> Can you see, have you seen, who you want to be? What will happen</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">if you don't plan. What will happen if you have no vision of who you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">want to become?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">There are two ways of evolving: deliberately and accidentally. You can</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">either decide who you want to become and deliberately work toward that</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">end, or you can just go with the flow and become whatever life makes</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">of you. In that event, you will become whatever the fickle</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">circumstances and forces of life and society will make of you;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">whatever is currently considered to be popular or in; whatever is</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">easiest. But, whatever you become accidentally it will not be nearly</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the full measure of our potential. You will become just someone,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">somewhere in the middle.</span><br />

Free smells at Pep Boys! We got a screw in our tire so we had to make a pit stop... That took a hour and a half! They didn't tell us when it was done and we were updating our records so didn't think about how long it was taking. Haha oh well.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hah, it has been so hot this week. I don't even want to know how hot</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">it is. I just know it is hotter than Oregon summers. It got up to 106</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the last two days. The moment I walk of our apartment at 10 a.m I am</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">already sweating. I am so thankful we have a car though! Poor Elders</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">This week has been great! I am in a new are! Bloomington Ward. It</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">covers corners of a few cities, Fontana, San Bernardino, and Colton.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It's pretty big. They split the Ward boundaries a while ago. Bad and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">good. It's not so bad for us but it seems to be burden for the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">members. Our Ward is suppose to be big! But less then half show up</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">because they want to go to the building closer to their house. Which</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">is in a way understandable, but following the counsel of our leaders</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">is so important! They know all! So it's a little frustrating how</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">selfish some people can be sometimes.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The people are so nice! We like to say hello to everyone we walk bye.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It seems to go into a little conversation. It's great. But many of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">them speak Spanish. I don't know any Spanish! So it gets a bit</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">complicated and awkward trying to explain who we are and what not.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Haha I love the cultural that we see! Very Hispanic. And lots of stray</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">cats. We saw a house the other day with about 12 or 14 cats! Then</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">another cat followed us for a few houses, until we got in our car and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">left. That was pretty dang cute!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We haven't been teaching much this week. We have a sweet young couple</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that we are teaching. Sister Peterson has been teaching them. They</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">just had a baby girl, so cute! The dad is a less active but has been</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">wanting to come back to church. Charise, the mom, she loves the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">church. She wants to get baptized so bad! They have to get married</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">first though so we are tying to help prepare for that. That's not e to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">rely our purpose, to plan weddings, but if it helps them be happier</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">and have the desire to come closer to Christ, than we will do</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">anything. They are so wonderful though! I can't wait to be on this</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">journey with them.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We met a older man the other day, Emtedeo. I am sure I spelled his</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">name wrong. He was sitting out on his porch. But he only spoke Spanish</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">so his granddaughter came out and helped us talk with him. He was so</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">sweet! He is blind and is unable to walk on his own now. He asked us</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">to keep him and his family in his prayers. We offered him a prayer</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">right then. We shook his hands and just held them and out them to his</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">cheek and thanked us. It broke my heart but warmed it so much too! You</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">never know the struggles that people may be in. We have to remember to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">be humble and ask for help! And be willing to help those that need it.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I was studying this morning, like we always do. And I came across a</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">quote from one of the Presidents of the church. It says, "Every member</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">[person; nonmember]... Is a missionary! True Christianity is love in</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">action. There is no better way to manifest love for God than to show</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">an unselfish love for your fellow men. This is the spirit of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">missionary work."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I love that quote! Many people assume that we are out here trying to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">force people into our church and that numbers of baptisms are most</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">important. But that is false. Our main purpose as missionaries is to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">be kind, to love everyone, to serve, and yes, teach and share of</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Christ. Because that is what He did. I love serving a mission. It gets</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">super tough. And when we haven't had a success all day, we have to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">remember the tender mercies is that we had. The people that we may</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">have touched by smiling to them.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Remember to serve on another. Serve your family, your spouse, your</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">brothers and sisters. Your co workers. Your neighbors. I promise you,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that you and your family will be blessing.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Hi Everyone!</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I am just going to get the news done and out of the way. I am getting</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">transferred! I am heading out to Bloomington. I am not quite sure</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">where that is. Haha I am excited(: new places, new adventures. I am</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">also getting a new companion! Sister Peterson. Not sure who that is</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">either (:</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Well this week was quite slow, honestly. Nearly all of our</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">investigators dropped us. Meaning that they don't want us coming to</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">talk to them anymore. It's sad getting dropped! The families we were</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">teaching were so great! I know Heavenly Father is preparing them and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">they will be able to build their faith gradually (:</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Oh my goodness. The story I am about to share is so funny and</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">disgusting at the same time! More disgusting than funny. So our church</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">building is in the same parking lot as the temple. Such a blessing! It</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">is also the stake center. The traffic is quite busy in there.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Unfortunately people don't know how to clean up after themselves. It</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">is so grossly dirty. Then, it started to smell. We thought it was just</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">all the stinky diapers. Sister Olsen and I like playing Scooby Doo</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">mysteries in real life. So we are trying to figure out why it stinks</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">so bad! Then we finally figured it out. A member from the other ward</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">was cleaning. Bless his heart. He told us that they discovered 1 dead,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">deterarting skunk in the ceiling rafters place area! It was so bad,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">that it's fluids was leaking through the ceiling. Then later, they</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">found 3 dead possums. Not as disgustingly dead but their heads was</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">falling off. Now it doesn't stink so bad. That was probably the</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">interesting experience...</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Yesterday in relief society, we were talking about True Happiness.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">President Howard W. Hunter teaches it really well. He said, "True</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">kindness brings true greatness [happiness]." What is true happiness?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">It is the money in your bank or the clothes in your closet? What about</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">spending time with your family or going to church? What makes you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">happy? Are those things true happiness?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">I have learned that I have been stuck in the world way too long! What</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">truly matters is my family, the Savior and how I can be a better</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">person in this world! It is so dark and dreary in the world.</span><br />
<br style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Another story, our area includes a couple towns up in the mountains.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Angelus Oaks and Forrest Falls. It is about 10/15 degrees cooler up</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">here than in the valley. Haha we head up there when it's super hot!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Like on Saturday! It was about 103 degrees in Redlands. And only about</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">95 in the mountains. Still super hot to me but it's breezy and shady</span><br />

Sister Olsen and I are working really hard! We have about 5 investigators we are attemping to teach. I think a few of them are pretty solid and reallly want to hear our message. I am really excited for them (:</div>

Sister Olsen started teaching a lady, Crystal, before I got here and had already set a baptism date with her. But as we continued to teach her the last few lessons, I have come to really love her and her family! She is like a firecracker. She is bright and loud. I love hearing her bear her testimony. She did not have a great life, but she came to know her Savior, Jesus Christ and his atonement. It is so amazing to see how one can go from worse to better in just a few weeks! She is getting baptized on June 4th and I am really excited for her.</div>

This life is the time...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today at 2:01 PM<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hello!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The subject will make sense soon (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is the season of graduations and parties and fun. I am so
proud of my sisters and Mom from graduating from College and high school this
last weekend! They are so amazing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This last week has been tough getting in with people. With
the end of the school year and summer starting, everyone is pretty busy! But we
have been doing a bit of house cleaning in the mission work (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are teaching two great young ladies! One is starting
college and the other has a little 5 year old. I have come to learn that the
best way to teach someone about something you love is to love them and what
they love! To be an example of Christ. I am surprised at how many people watch
one another. In a none creepy way... haha Everything we do is seen and we have
to remember that. We are watched by the little kids that we have in our houses.
We are watched by our family and friends!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was studying the scriptures, like we always do (: and in
Alma chapter 34 it tells a little summary about what the story is about. I
loved what it said, "This life is the time for men [and women] to prepare
to meet God-- work out your salvation with fear before God."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'm not saying to be scared of God! Of course not. But are you
going about your day that God will be able to praise you? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay. enough of lecture. (: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love being a missionary. The work is so grand out here and
I am just soaking it all in! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love ya'll. Sorry I don't have much time for any nice
stories. But hopefully i willl get better ones next week!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
here are some pictures. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sunsets are so beautiful here!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a young boy walking his goat!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Redlands Stake Zone!<o:p></o:p></div>

Onto the fun news. We had a baptism on Saturday (: It was so great to be on the other side. I have seen my nieces and nephews be baptized but there is a special feeling seeing some stranger change their entire life for the gospel and Jesus Christ. This wonderful lady, Crystal, is a mom of 4 beautiful kids. But she has not had it easy. Without sharing too many details, I believe in miracles. She has proven the world that you can be sober and happy. I guess that is the best way to put it. ha ha This lady, went to a woman's conference with her sisters (This family is HUGE and they adopted her in), but she felt the spirit so strong she immidetaly wanted us to teach her. This all happened before I came here but Sister Olsen and the previous sister had done wonderful being the speakers of God. The baptism was so special. I cried. I don't cry at things at like very often. Her sisters sang How Great Thou Art so beautifully it sounded like angels. </div>

I am so happy that I was able to be part of Crystal's new path in life. She has strengthened my faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement for us. </div>

This morning we went for a "hike." It wasn't much of a hike. more like a little trail walk. haha California has been in a drought for a while now. There are ditches where there is supposed to be rivers and creeks and there are none. I was surprised to see that there was still this water fall that we to go see. God did create a very beautiful place for us to live though. I am amazed of all the beauty we have around us and take advantage of. </div>

I want to share with you guys, that when times get rough, don't give up. Sometimes I need to take my own advice. The only way we can get through the hard times is to serve others, serve God and do what he has asked us to do. I know that as we read and ponder the scriptures and pray often we will be happier. I forget to do both of those things. But when I remember, I am so much brighter(:<br clear="all" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;" /><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465257391651_2573" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px;">

My district, group of missionaries that I spend 99% of my time with, is the last district in my church branch. The others have all left to their missions. It was so sad to see all of them leave. you truly become like family to these people! They have such strong testimonies and we shared them last night. It was definitely a tear jerker moment. But good news is we get 18. yes 18! new missionaries tomorrow. and 8 of them are sister missionaries! It is going to be so great to be able to help them (: </div>

We got some small storms rolling through. I loved seeing the rain! Funny story. Try to imgaine this one or else it won't be very funny. My companion, Sister Porter and I were heading back to our classroom from our residents room, and it started to hail. I told her, "Ready to run??" I bolt our the door, with my arms covering my head. These were painful hail! I turn around to see if she was behind me and she WAS NOT! So I ran back to the door and see her just stand on the other side. haha I was a bit annoyed but I can't stay mad at her for long. She insisted she needed her umbrella. I was such a mean companion, I was mocking her :P she forgave me. But once we headed back after getting her umbrella, it stopped. haha Gosh it was so funny. She absolutely hates rain!! I absolutely love it!!</div>

I love it. The group of other missionaries that I am learning with are so great! We had 7 Sisters but then 3 of them left this morning so now it is just 4 of us girls (: Girl power!</div>

My companion, one who I serve and learn with here at the MTC 24/7, is Sister Natalie Porter. She is the sweetest little thing ever! She is from Lehi, Utah. She is very quiet but when she speaks is it so profound and alot of times funny. I am really luck to have her. Unfortunately for her, she has me :p </div>

I can't believe I have been here for a week now. It has gone by so fast but so slow at the same. I am learning so much I can't even tell ya'll all of it. We have about 6 hours of class time, 45 minutes for meals, and then the rest is all STUDY STUDY STUDY. It is crazy but I am holding on! </div>

I have learned so much about my faith, testimony and Jesus Christ than I have ever in my life. I am so excited to teach God's Children. We have 2 "investigators," we don't for sure if they are real investigators but it gives us an opportunity to learn how to teach real people. One is so sweet. She wants to learn more about what our purpose her on Earth is. So Sister Porter and I taught her about the plan of salvation. The other is tough lady. She is struggling with knowing if people care for her, and she doesn't really want to learn about what we want to teach her but We are able to be there and love her.</div>

<b>Atonement of Jesus
Christ; prepared for mission<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This month’s topic is about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I
would like to share with you my preparation to serve a mission by using his
atonement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dallin H. Oaks said, “We understand that the Atonement of
Jesus Christ gives us the opportunity to overcome the spiritual death that
results from sin and, through making and keeping sacred covenant, to have the
blessings of eternal life.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>[ </b>What is ‘The
Atonement’? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The word ‘atone’ means “to make amends,” or “to pay for.”
‘Ment’ simply means the action of something. Preach My Gospel defines it very
well. It says, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“To atone is to suffer the penalty for an act of sin,
thereby removing the effects of sin from the repentant sinners and allowing
them to be reconciled to God.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Who to made the Atonement?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesus Christ. He was the only one capable of making a
perfect Atonement for all mankind.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What did happen or what did he do to make the Atonement?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He suffered for our sins in Gethsemane by feeling every pain
and suffering by which he bled from every pore; what many know is he died on
the cross. <b>]<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The atonement is not there for show. We need to USE it. This
is a time for us to take advantage of something without being criticized for
it. Because taking advantage of someone else for your own benefit in this day
is not looked upon as a positive thing. This IS a positive thing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesus Christ was the only one capable of carrying out the
Atonement for all of us. He loved his father AND us so much that he sacrificed
himself for our sins, past, present and future. Our responsibility is to fully
repent, follow the commandments and obey His gospel. What do we get in return?
Not that we NEED a return, but he still gives us a gift. A beautiful gift of <i>eternal life</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>

<u>(#1)</u> John 3:16-17 <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“For God so
loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in
him should not perish, but have everlasting life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For God
sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m a story teller so enjoy my mission story. I want to tell
you my Mission story of how I decided to serve a mission: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When President Monson announced the age change for able, and
worthy, young men and woman now, 18 and 19 years old, to serve full-time
mission for the Lord and Jesus Christ, I honestly, don’t remember my feelings
about it. I’ve always thought, “what a great blessing. I think it would be very
beneficial for the church, God’s children, and the missionaries that decide to
serve!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would get asked if
I would serve. Well I was only 15/16 at the time! I didn’t even know what I
wanted to do as a career let alone make this important decision. Through the
years, myself and my family experienced our ups and downs, like most. But to
me, I felt like it was the end of the world. I might as well just lay down in
bed and never wake up again. I didn’t care what happened with church. Sure, I
enjoyed going. I didn’t not believe what I was taught. <o:p></o:p></div>

attentive in the gospel. The first time I met his family was a Monday night
when they were doing family home evening! Something that my family rarely,
close to never did. Whenever I would visit them in their home, we would have
family prayer before I left. He was one of the big impacts in my life that
brought me back to Heavenly Father’s true, restored church! My testimony grew
immensely. I came to know for myself of the great blessing to follow Jesus
Christ and take advantage of his Atonement that he made for me! I learned that
I wasn’t alone. I had a constant companion, friend, and still have, of the
spirit, the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ. To get me through these harsh times of
the world. <b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jesus Christ picked me up when I was down and near broken. I
read his words of faith, love and strength to trudge through the struggle. His
atonement was the biggest influence in bringing me back to his true gospel. Although,
I am still learning about it today!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So clearly, a mission was not in the picture. I would
kindly, say no to those that asked. Being only 15/16, I would comment, “well
maybe when I get closer to age 19, I will decide for sure then.” That is a key
comment people! Remember that I said that. [haha] Hint, prompting number one!
Though I ignored it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why should you use the atonement??<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s like a security blanket, or what I like to call a baby
blanket. In times of sadness, anger, or sorrow, depression, or anxiety. Our
brother, Jesus Christ, knows EXACTLY how we are feeling. He has felt it, every
bit of it. Just feel him wrap his arms around you to hold you up! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>(#2)</u> Mosiah 3:7<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“And lo, he
shall suffer temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even
more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh
from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the
abominations of his people.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I have prepared for my mission, I have read and studied
Preach My Gospel like it is another set of scriptures. Well I guess you can say
it’s a study guide for the scriptures. I recommend you to study it too. Even if
you aren’t preparing for a mission. It is a great tool to better understand the
gospel principles, to become better disciples of Christ, and most importantly
to know how to use the gospel, the atonement, in our daily life’s. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It tells us why we rely on the atonement. “As we rely on the
Atonement of Jesus Christ, He can help us endure our trials, sicknesses, and
pain. We can be filled with joy, peace, and consolation. All that is unfair
about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has taken me these past few years to understand why I
should use the atonement. Honestly, I still am! I feel like an investigator
trying to truly understand this most important blessing that was given to us by
our loving heavenly Father! For example, I took advantage of Jesus Christ’s
atonement while preparing and writing this very talk! The agony and anxiety
that I get speaking in front of people. The perfectionist in me that wants this
talk to be the best one I give. To make sure I teach ya’ll of the greatest,
most valuable blessing we receive by living as a Latter-day Saint. Jesus Christ
felt all of that with me!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the book of Alma, Amulek testifies of the sole purpose of
Christ’s atonement. He says, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>(#3)</u> Alma 34:8-10<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
9 “For it
is expedient that an atonement should be made; for according to the great plan
of the Eternal God…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why would God want to sacrifice his only begotten son??
That’s not love, is it? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He loved us so that he did exactly that! Can you think of
anyone else who would sacrifice anything for you and to have eternal life? I
know he loved his Son, Jesus Christ, so much that he gave him to us! It was in
God’s plan! One key concept that I still learn, is to TRUST in God’s plan.
Heck, serving a mission was NOT in my plan! [haha] I had prepped to attend BYU
Idaho. I got to Rexburg in one piece! [I used the atonement during that whole
process!] I was studying nursing. My dream is to be a nurse in pediatrics. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yeah, things weren’t going as I wanted! I was failing 2 of
my 5 classes I had. I was struggling financially. I was failing at making
friends. It was a tough first semester of college. Heavenly Father knew all of
this. Jesus felt my sadness and pain. Heavenly Father had decided to show me my
new path in life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, each of us can
become clean and the burden of our rebellion will be lifted.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of my favorite Apostles was Elder Richard G. Scott. He
gave a talk that perfectly explains the use of the atonement with sin. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I feel in my generation of youth
and young adults, Satan finds his way to pry into our lives and get us at just
the right moments for us to give into sin and temptation. I see it within my
close circle of friends. I see in my family. I’ve seen it within myself. There
are too many times that I have given in to temptations. At the moment, it seems
totally okay. “There is no harm.” “I’ll be fine.” Until the end and we see and
go through the consequence. The lesson I learned was to turn to Heavenly Father
and Jesus in prayer, pick myself up and turn it all over to my Father in Heaven
to guide me to the better path. Use Jesus’s atonement to give me strength to
get through the hard times!<o:p></o:p></div>

While I was at school, I went through many trials dealing
with my worrying, my anxiety, and many depressed moments. It was when I finally
turned it all over to Heavenly Father to help me. I needed to really learn how
to use the Atonement at this time. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a normal Sabbath Sunday. All my roommates but one was
out of town. But we went about our day like normal. The lesson in relief
society was kind of boring. Sorry, sometimes they can be! But I am thankful
that it was boring. I was reading my
scriptures, trying to understand what I was reading. I read D&C 6:5-6 over
and over, trying to figure out what it meant.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It says, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5
“Therefore, if you will ask of me you shall receive;…”<br />
I WAS ASKING..!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“…if you
will knock it shall be opened unto you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I WAS BANGING!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
6 “Now, as
you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring
forth and establish the cause of Zion.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Right then and there, I was prompted to serve a mission. I
was struck by a bolt of lightning. It was not what I was expecting to hear but
it was what He needed me to hear.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The rest of church, I just prayed for confirmation. I could
not deny this. I went home, crying my eyes out to my best friend, Haley.
Finally called my Mom and told her. I
thought the more people I told, the harder it would be to back out! Called my
dad and told him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something that he told me made it so much clearer that
serving a mission is what I truly needed to do to be okay! My so wonderful,
loving father told me, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You know? The lessons today were about missionary work. I
thought to myself that you would really love to serve a mission.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can’t describe to you how strong the spirit was! I’ll let you in on a secret. I cry when I
feel the spirit. Oh and I sleep! It’s true, the spirit puts me to sleep. I was
CRYING and I slept darn good that night! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t mention, this all happened 6 days before I turned
19! Remember what I said earlier. Yeah, he had this planned from the very
beginning. Since that moment He guided me to prepare for a mission when I
didn’t even realize it. I went through trials and tribulation. Learned about
the atonement and the plan he has. And learned to trust him!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While going through the process of submitting my papers and
waiting for my call, I was in a very depressed time. I had left BYU Idaho,
where I grew to love as a second home! I wasn’t saving enough for my mission. I
had started to doubt whether serving a mission was truly the right path! Even
though I knew it the whole time filling out my papers. My sweet sister, in New
York counseled me to pray and to read my scriptures since I hadn’t done so in a
while. Know, that my sister is not active in the church, so for her to say this
to me meant so much to me! I knew I needed to turn my sorrows over to Jesus
Christ and use his atonement to get through this bump. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the next day I checked the mail and lo and behold, my
mission call was in there!! I was so gosh darn excited ((: I told my entire
family so they would get onto skype for when I opened it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reading the words,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Dear Sister Jensen,” was the moment I was reassured to
serve a mission.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been blessed with the gospel in my life. I am so
thankful for Jesus Christ and his Atonement. I am thankful for my family! Even
through the moments I would really like to be an only child. I love each one of
you. You are my ward family! I thank you now for the support you have and will
give me as I serve my mission. It’s been a blessing to get to know many of you.
All of you and these times have helped me strengthen my testimony. I have
always prayed for a testimony, and I have one. Now, I get to share it with
God’s children of Redlands California! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am not perfect, and I know. I try really hard to be the
best Child of God I can be. I pray that I will be the best missionary that I am
called to be! I am so excited to head to California. I can’t even tell you.
Although I will miss my family and friends so much, I know that I and them will
be blessed for me serving The Lord. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I bear my testimony that I know Jesus Christ atoned for each
one of our sins. That God so loved the earth that he gave his only son. Joseph
Smith was a true prophet and died for the church as he restored it in God’s
name. California was the last place I wanted to go! He knew that too! But he
needs me there, and I know that is exactly where I need to go. I am so grateful
to serve God’s children of Redlands. <o:p></o:p></div>

And I am kind of freaking out. [hah hah] I have been feeling so ready and excited to serve a mission ever since I made the choice and decison to! But now it is all coming so real.<br />
<br />
<b>NOW THE NERVES ARE SETTING IN.</b> eeekkk!<br />
I am currently sitting in my dark room. It's 9:30 and I had planned to be getting to bed early but that's not happening.<br />
<br />
Serving a mission? Me? I would have never imagined. But I am! And I am darn proud of it. During 186th Annual General Conference that the church holds twice a year, to hear guidance and counsel from our beloved Prophets and Apostles, President Monson spoke about choices.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">Choose the right or to choose the wrong?</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>What great question to ask in this today's world!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>"</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Zoram, 'noto sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.8px;"><b>The choices we make determine our destiny."</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Open Sans, Zoram, noto sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28.8px;">Where do you want to be 10 years from now? Where do you want to be at the end of the week?? The choice you make this moment answers that!</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Open Sans, Zoram, noto sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">But how can we make such a choice on our own? I know personally, that making decisions are tough! I am probably the most indecisive person you would ever meet!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Open Sans, Zoram, noto sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: 28.8px;">"...</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Zoram, 'noto sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 28.8px;">a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Zoram, 'noto sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px;">My favorite quote from President Monson,</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Zoram, 'noto sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', Zoram, 'noto sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 28.8px;">if we choose Christ, we will have made the correct choice."</span></span></b><br />

<br />
My favorite thing to do on days like this, sunny, no work or no to do list, is to sit and listen to general authority talks. This is one has been a recent favorite.<br />
<br />
Since I chose to serve a mission, I have been learning so much about doing things through Christ. In the past, I have always done what he wants me to do, on my time. But now I realize that it's so important to do what he wants on his time! The blessings are greater that way.<br />
<br />
My mission is really going to show the great works that He wants done through me. Elder Renlund shared a comment his brother told him, that I really liked. He said, <span class="chunk hl-id-3299395" id="chunk10079" node="10079" paranum="1" style="background: 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00784314); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;

I believe that it is so important to serve others, to serve the Lord the way he would want you to do. Not the way you would. Because He knows all! He knows the best way for you.<br />
I know with everything I have that his path to a happy life is the only path. I challenge you to help those around you with a full heart and Christlike love.Annahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01361384523953583671noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2108038443431687676.post-54377729099420182962016-03-16T20:55:00.001-07:002016-03-17T08:50:33.310-07:00Opening the Call. . .<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">First off, I am not a writer. So bear with me (:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">I thought it would be fun to post stories, experiences, my emails that I send home weekly, photos, and all the fun stuff that I will experience on my mission on a blog. What a easy way to share my testimony and gospel with my friends and family?! (Starting April 27th, my wonderful Momma will be posting!)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">Deciding to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was probably the easiest decision I could make. But it came as a surprise as I was not preparing or planning to do so! I was at school, attending Brigham Young University in Idaho. I was having a BLAST! Then, it dawned on me that all these hardships that I was going through wasn't a punishment, it was a blessing... a sign. I felt prompted by my Father in heaven that I needed to serve a mission. All of these negative feelings would be lightened by his love if I served him in the most powerful way. Put a skirt on, clip that black missionary tag on and walk those streets telling his children about the blessing it is to have Him in their life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">So I jumped on it! I couldn't say no, although I wanted to say no till the day I died. I called my parents. I called my bishop. I started filling those missionary papers out. The process was long and draining. I was getting discouraged and was thinking twice about this decision I made. I mean, if something went wrong, it would be really difficult to go back to the way things were. All these trails with filling the papers out brought me closer to Heavenly Father. I learned to turn everything over to him and let him take care of it (:</span></div>

<span style="color: red;">Fast forward to just a few nights ago. March 14th, I opened the mailbox, saw that envelope with Sister Anna Jensen written on it, and I screamed for joy. I really did. The school kids walking home from school stared with concern.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">I was so happy. I had the biggest smile on my face. My cheeks started to hurt. I texted my family. Arranging Skype with everyone in different states is quite complicated, people! haha Technology does not always help to your benefit in important situations.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: merriweather, georgia, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: red;">The moment was finally there for me to open that envelope and find out where He wants me for the next 18 months.</span></div>
