So Scott - Minnesota! HELLO BEST
ACCENT EVER! I talk to my companion all the time in a Minnesota accent...taught
to me by the one and only Janna Blair. Seriously Bugs, it's going to be great!
I am so glad you are going state side! I knew it! It's going to be so grand. I am excited for you to learn and grow. You
are going to be a great missionary and asset to the Lord. I Love you Bugs!
Crazy story! Last night we went to Sister
Mulloy's house for dinner....and she had us look at a picture of her family.
There sitting in the family picture was one of my best friends Cameron Adamson!
I was so shocked! I was in the home of Cameron's mother! It was so crazy.
(His parents are split...hence the different last names.) Anyway, his family
was so fun and they knew I knew Cameron and they were so excited to surprise
me! It was great.
I love being with the members! They
are great examples to me of what I want for my future family. It was fun being at
church yesterday because although I have only been here 2 weeks, it was great to
walk through the hallways and see familiar faces and actually be able to say hi
to people that I knew! I haven't had
many opportunities on my missions to meet people and then actually get to see
them again:)
I feel like we are working hard, but
we just don't have a ton of progressing investigators. I don't really know what
needs to change! I feel we are trying. Last week I asked if anyone had any
advice..but I got nothing from all you return missionaries in the family...I would
love to hear your ideas and advice.
It has been great to go to a regular
ward again. I love going to Sunday School and Relief Society. Yesterday I was
so overwhelmed by the sweetness of Jesus Christ as we studied 3 Nephi 17, one
of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon. Jesus is the sweetest man that
ever walked this earth. I am so grateful
for the Book of Mormon and it's account of the Savior. I usually don't get bothered
too much when people put down the Book of Mormon...but yesterday a man we contacted
on the street got to me. He said, "Believing in the Book of Mormon is like
believing in Santa Clause." I feel bad I let him get under my skin but I
pointed my finger at him and said, "No No No! I can't believe you just
compared the Book of Mormon to Santa Clause! The Book of Mormon is an account
of real people with real lives, people that witnessed seeing Jesus Christ and
of his miracles. If you want to understand Jesus Christ, his plan for you and
his character read 3 Nephi chapter 17." He had a Book of Mormon so I gave
him a sticky note with the reference. The Book of Mormon is true! I know Jesus
Christ is real. I know he loves me. I am
glad he is my friend and he is NO SANTA CLAUSE!
OK. My time is almost out and I
haven't written President! I Love you!
-Hurrah For Israel!

This Message is for Jo and Mark- Thanks so much for the comment on my son's blog! It was great to hear from you guys! Our son Tyler is our Alma the Younger miracle. He will just turn 28 years old right before coming home on December 14th! He has been a great missionary and is fully aware that he is so blessed to have been able to serve a mission! Our youngest daughter will turn 18 this December and yes she is so excited to serve a mission and beyond thrilled that she can now go at 19 instead of 21! I have loved following Janet on both her missions and I was so happy to get to meet her on Temple Square this past August--what an amazing young woman! Hope all is well with you guys! I always imagine Dorothy and my mom have a great time on the other side of the veil! Thanks again for writing!
