Capital Trip


Hello Family! Guess what? I saw Uncle Paul and Aunt Lynn and family! It was so good to see them! I was grateful to see them and I knew it was ok because it wasn't planned! Jaron is so handsome! I love that boy!! I love our family! I am so glad we are together forever!

This last week we had zone conference at the Capitol! It was fun because we got a tour from Pres Gillette's niece who is some sort of government official. I am going to sound super stupid right now...but she  represents a certain part of Utah and votes on certain bills...ya....haha...some sort of senator or something...ya..ok I'm dumb I know.  Anyways, it was fun to get a tour around there and then have Zone Conference (half the mission). It was very spirit filled and we focused on being consecrated missionaries. I am grateful for the opportunity to look at myself and see what I can change and be better at.

Sis. Sa Gari and I are doing great! This week was awesome! Sister Sa Gari "passed off" this last week and she did great. "Pass offs" are something all new missionaries have to do. You give a role play tour to your zone leaders and they  test you to see how well you are bridging the gospel to the history, contacting people, discerning their needs, inviting, and all that jazz. She did great and I am so happy because  now we can take "investigator" lessons(AKA Elder's tours) and we can now take Portuguese tours, and Motor coaches(Big busses that come). These are things we would have been doing normally but can't do until you are passed off. Anyways, she did great.

Sis Sa Gari is picking up English fast and it is amazing to watch every day! Wow, the Lord loves her and is blessing us!

I got to Announce in English this last Sunday for the first time! Yeah ! It was sooo fun! When I was in charge of announcing I never picked myself because I felt weird doing that....haha

Oh man I love temple Square! I love teaching people!! It was so fun this last week because Sis Sa Gari , I and the Spirit teach very balanced and well together! I love it! We meet so many great people and I love it when we get to stay in contact and they do want to learn more and they Do want a Book of Mormon! It so great to see people come unto Christ!

We finally went to the temple today! It's been closed forever! It's nice to have the weddings back and so fun to have with families everywhere! Sometimes there are up to 70 weddings a day in the summer. I definitely have my fair share of opportunities to judge wedding dresses....."oohh lacey..." ...."what the..you look like a mermaid"......."uhh that veil has gone too far....."are you Mormon?"....haha

Well I love you all! I love the work! Keep up the good work on your end! Let's get a inactive or nonmember family in the Reynders home soon! Especially with  Annie and Adam back with the kids, surely there are relatable families! Bugs, keep those pass along cards in your pocket...
Oh and what's this deal about trying to send Bugs on his mission early? Wait a minute ,wait a minute...I don't think Heavenly Father minds if you wait a month for Sister Reynders to get home. Really.

Hurrah for Israel!

Sister Reynders
