Stand as a Witness of Christ

So this is just going to be a sporadic letter with lots of little things I want to give an update on!

READY, SET, BULLET POINTS:

• David Archuleta is always here......maybe he has a secret mission on temple square?
• I have new Roomies, Sister Lui from Italy!!! SHE IS Hilarious! and Sister Mokalake from South Africa!
• CITY CREEK OPENED UP THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO SODOM AND GOMORA! SOOOOOOO many people!!!!!! The place is Huge!!!! Such a big Mall!!!!! Makes down town Salt Lake have a different feel! We have already seen the blessings of it! So many People have come  through Temple Square as a result of this crazy mall! 
• The coming of summer brings a lot of people to the square. Some of those people are our beloved "Anti's" or as we like to call them - "Friends of other Faiths". We get prepped for dealing with these children of God....
• Did you know that there are actually groups of "Anti's" that come here with the sole purpose of making Sisters cry!  If they have made one Sister cry then they've reached their goal. But Man they are so sneaky. We get real good at asking certain questions at the beginning of tours to decipher if they are "anti's" or not.

CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!!! Lots of praying and fasting going on here!!!! So while every other member of the Church is intently listening to the words of our beloved Prophets, I will be WORKING, WORKING, WORKING!!! I am soooo Excited!!! We have a companionship goal of 70 Referrals in 2 days and a zone goal of 933!!! I don't know what the mission goal is but  hopefully I will be able to tell you the results next Monday!

This Week we had the young Womens Broadcast! It was soooo fun! There was so many YW groups here! Yesterday Sister Dalton made an appearance at "Music and the Spoken Word," and afterwards she stayed around on the Square as a ton of people gathered around her to try to get a picture or talk with her. Well, I went on with my business but I happened to be walking by right when she was meeting with this last group of Young Women. I thought I'd take the chance to say hi and I walked up to her and she gave me a hug and turned me to all the Young Women and said "See! This is what you all want to become! SOMEONE WHO STANDS AS A WITNESS OF JESUS CHRIST at all times!" It was a special moment, and meant a lot to me.

When I was younger I always thought I was one of God's favorites. I really did! And the reason I thought that was because I saw how much he would BLESS me in my daily life! Recently I have to be honest, I have not done too well in noticing the Lords hand in my daily life. I have felt that I have been it separated a bit from my Father in Heaven as I was focused too much on myself. But lately I have noticed how much of a difference it makes as we thank the Lord Constantly for our blessings!

This Last week S. Kleine and I happened upon our newly found friend Chris. He's just a normal, middle aged guy, here for some convention. Anyways we had the opportunity to teach and we happened to mention to him that underneath Temple Square  it is full of tunnels...........Well, at the end we gave him our email and number.

A few hours later we get this email from him saying, "Too bad you can't come eat at the "Roof" restaurant. The view up here is amazing.....too bad you Sisters are stuck in your underground lair!" We then replied with, " Brother Chris,  we are sorry we didn't tell you that we are actually nuns. We actually spend our meal breaks underground chanting."

Anyways, .that's the missionary work for me our here..........JK its way better than this but I just thought it was funny.

Anyways, the Lord has spoiled me this week! Life is Good! Hurrah For Israel!
