Sweet

I think the words I would use to describe this week would be sweet, desirable, gratifying, and satisfying. It's been a great week where the spirit has be unrestrained.

During conference we met the a family from Washington with 7 kids - a perfect little family. They asked us if we wouldn't  give a call to their adopted Grandparents so I gave a call to Millie and Ben and we immediately hit it off.  We talked about  many subjects centered around Jesus Christ. Missionary work, receiving revelation, the book of Mormon, doing good right where you are at, so on and so on. Anyway, it was a sweet time we spent together and as we knelt and had a prayer (via phone) the spirit touched each of our hearts. Millie will be meeting with missionaries this next week. I feel bad that I haven't shared more of my experiences on Temple Square. My experience with Millie is just a taste of the kind of experiences we have daily. Just sweet.  I call them "solid seeds".

"And because of your diligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the fruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet. " Alma 32:42

Well transfers are coming up. If I could choose what would be best for me in my last transfer it would be training. I would love to train. But alas, I want what the Lord wants me to do and whatever it is, it will be good.

I can't remember the names of the general authorities that are head of the Missionary efforts, but they asked the Temple Square Sisters to do the performance we did last transfer again. The surrounding missions will be bringing their investigators. It's a bitter sweet experience....I was so happy/relieved when it was finished last transfer....but here we go again.....It will be good....and I am sure it's something I will never forget and many people will be blessed.

We did an emergency Zone meeting this week and talked about the importance of a positive attitude. Having 140 sisters in such close proximity can prove to be pretty complicated at times. We felt the mission was sliding into a slump, but then again, Satan does work his hardest just before things are going to get good...and guess what? I believe this summer will be a summer that has never before been seen on Temple Square. Anyways, the sisters need to pull out of the dull drums and focus on the blessings in their lives. The Lord wants each of the to find joy in the journey.

Anyways, I know you don't want a sermon so I will conclude.

Things are going well. Roller skating was fun last week. This week we are going to the planetarium(we are trying to get out and do stuff before there no time left).

I love my companion and am so grateful for her. I love my Savior. He is my best friend. I am his number one girl.

-Hurrah For Israel
