Hello! I hope you had an EGGSciting
Easter! You are lucky because you are in Clovis where the weather is
EGGStremely beautiful! This week once again was EGGShausting! Been doing lots
of EGGStention of commitments and being EGGSactly obedient. OK...this is getting lame...........I just
thought since it was Easter...ya know...I'd jazz things up!
So no big deal but yesterday I just
was hanging out with L. Tom Perry and Richard G. Scott. Elder Perry looked me right in the eyes and said, ........ "Have a great lunch." And Elder Scott
came up to me and shook my hand and asked me my name and where I was from. I was so in shock I didn't even stand up! I
feel so terrible. An Apostle was talking to me and I just sat there on
the couch! At conference time the general authorities always use our mission
offices for meetings. Can I tell you something? Keep updated on your conference
talks because you never know who you might run into. For example, I was in the
kitchen eating lunch and Don R. Clark of the Seventy walks in and I said,
"Didn't you speak in last General Conference?" and he said "yes."
Then I replied, "The Sacrament, right? (I did a snappy gun point thing)...and
he said, "Yes, very good." Then Sister Kyle leans over to me and says...."remind
me to never to take a class with you.....suck up!" hahah We laughed because the whole conversation was just ridiculous..........
So I am not sure what to write to
you about...how about a fun fact. Did
you know that because of the weight on the roof of the
conference Center that the Tower that has the big water fall coming down
it is made out of Styrofoam?
Oh, I never told you that we went to the movie set
in Goshen Utah where they filmed the new Bible Videos. Good thing Pres. Gillette has connections
with anyone of importance in the state of Utah. It was a very special/sacred
experience especially the garden of Gethsemane and the Crucifixion
site.
There are so many misconceptions
about Temple Square missionaries. One question that I get all the time is, "Oh...so
do you TEACH in the temple Square mission?" Hrrmmph...YES!!! hahah Don't worry I don't make them feel bad
for asking...but...really? One person asked me this week, "So is it
true that the Temple Square Sisters have breaks to fix their make
up?"......no comment.
This week I have really enjoyed
having a Spanish speaking companion. I really don't feel like a 3rd wheel
in the lessons because we are very unified in the teaching. We have a new
progressing investigator this week. He is from Spain. He actually has
been on date in the past but had a horrific experience at church so that kind
of messed things up for a while. Anyways, he speaks a
little English so that's good, so I can help more. I do a
lot of praying for my companion and writing suggestions on sticky notes that
she can use or getting scriptures she could use. Sister Abellan is up there on
the top of the list of best companions:) At the end of the last lesson Antonio
was excited to read the Book of Mormon and receive strength to overcome temptations.
happiness:)
Conference is tomorrow. We have a
VIP tour in the middle of it with the Young Mens General Presidency and the
Nation President of the Boy Scouts of America. We also have to get the venues
covered so the Sisters can be contacting as much as possible.
I am so happy:) Life is Good! I hope
all is going well on the home front! Thanks Kate, Mom and Dad for writing
me. I always feel letters come at the most opportune times. Thanks for the talk
on the atonement Mom. I hope the Seminary kids enjoyed my Conference
Video. Woot!
-Hurrah For Israel!
