Be of good cheer and do not fear!


Hello my dear family and friends,

Wow! I am going into my 3rd transfer! The weeks seem to be going faster and faster.  This morning was super stressful, well actually last night was. I could not sleep because I knew at 6:30 am I would find out who my new companion would be and what my new assignment would be. Well I found out! I am with Sister Galuvao. She is Polynesian and she is from California. I don't know details about her because I won't become her companion until Wednesday, but from what I've heard about Sister Galuvau she's hilarious.  I don't have to move apartments so that's nice and my roomies are staying the same.   They are actually my Zone leaders now!  It is kind of weird that I will be living in the same apt as my Zone leaders.

So one of my new assignments  is to be the "announcing" coordinators.   You probably don't know what that is but we are in charge of the announcing after "Music and the Spoken Word" on Sundays.   After the program  is finished we have every language represented meet by the flag pole. They all have signs with their language on it. They all stand out there and we have a mic and say a little something about welcoming all the visitors to Temple Square and then offer them a tour in their language. It's really fun to watch and see.  Maybe I'll take some pictures of it sometime.  My new zone is South 2.  I am glad because I get to be in the South Visitor Center for the summer which will be so nice. The South VC  is our headquarters and where all the offices are so its convenient:)

Oh, also the departing Sister missionaries get to go to "Music and the Spoken Word" on their last Sunday and Lloyd Newell spot lights each of them.  Well  being the companion of a departing Sister I got to go too...and  President Monson was there again! So I felt all tingly inside when they announced the Sisters leaving knowing that the Prophet was looking at me! ( hahah..I know I am silly).  I can't believe my traumatic experience in the MTC when I thought I was never going to see the Prophet!

This Last week we  had zone conference at Pres. Gillettes house! It was way fun! The Gillettes are so warm and loving! I am glad they are here:) Their house was so homey, but it was one of those secretly huge houses! ....It was nice to be in a home:)

The Baptism on Saturday was great! Isaac and Lin Lin are so great! Their story is great!
  
The Book of Mormon is great:) I wish I could just sit and read from it for hours! I love it with all my heart! My favorite lately has been 3 Nephi 17:17-23. This is probably the sweetest message in the Book of Mormon. I love my savior Jesus Christ. He is such a sweet man. He really does care for all of us very much.

I am loving the Work! I am loving the Weather! I am Loving the spirit! I am loving the city! I am loving the Sisters! I am loving the "friends" on the square (aka guests)!

Anyways life is good! I'm leaving my trainer so wish me luck!....I mean pray for me;)

-Hurrah For Israel!
