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
