First of all, Happy Family Birthday!
We were established 33 years ago on Feb. 16. Woot Woot! Thanks Mom and Dad:) I
know you didn't know my p-day was today sorry. My prep day is now on Saturday.
Leaving Spokane was traumatic
and hard but here I am just the same! I will always love Spokane. We had an
awesome lesson with Jeremy right before I left. We hit it off with a bang. It
was spirit filled and we all fasted the next day that he would have the strength
to overcome coffee.
I don't think I let it really hit me
that I was leaving until 8:30 pm. that night when they drove me to the mission
home. I flew out and got to Salt Lake around 12 noon on Wednesday. When I
got off the plane they had a Sister there waiting for me and she told me
I was to be Zone Leader with Sister Elliot! I am so happy Sister Elliott is my
companion. I have yet to unpack but today is the day. The moment I got
here I took a VIP tour with sister Elliot. I guess we are responsible to give those tours
now...kinda scary!
For the last two days it has been so
crazy. We have had to do 4 training meetings for the Sisters and one zone
meeting. They put me as a zone leader over WEST 1 which is the zone that
covers, West gate services, Guest services, Humanitarian Center, Welfare
Square, Office Assistants and a little Beehive house!........What?....do they
realize I haven't served in ANY of these venues?! haha And here I am training the Sisters? But I
really feel that the Lord is doing it all and I just apply myself and open my
mouth.
The Temple Square missionaries are
doing a performance "Music from around the World" in the assembly
hall and I am heavily involved in that. We heard that
Pres. Monson is planning on attending. They have asked me to play guitar for some of
the numbers so....gulp...the Lords really going to need to help me:)
I feel so grateful for my outbound
experience because I have been able to share with the sisters the things I have
learned. Yesterday in our zone meeting we taught about the Atonement and that
the Atonement is central to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People can find access
to the Atonement through the Gospel and people can find
access to the gospel because of the restoration. SO...we really are here to help people access the Atonement.
It went really well and I know we are going to see great things happen. The
Sisters are great. Sister Ibarra is in our zone and so is sister Nixon and Sister Lake, whose dad was the bishop in one of
my outbound wards.
Anyways life is good. I will talk to Pres. Gillette about
interviewing for that job. Thanks!
-Hurrah For Israel!
