Two Companions For A Day!

Hello everyone! It's Email time! You get the privelege of hearing from me once a week, so you all should consider yourselves lucky. A lot of missionaries don't send them. 



So, little overview, the work itself has been a little rough. Feels like everyone in the zone is having a hard time finding people. We are still trying, but prayers would be appreciated. 



The Dollar Tree:

So, last preparation day, we did our shopping, and we felt the urge to go to the Dollar Tree. We wanted to get at least into the halloween spirit a little bit. So we spent less than five bucks all together on window stickers, a little shelf pumpkin, and a witch for our door. We named her Winda. She keeps the house safe. These things go well with the christmas tree that's on the dining room table. 



Trio Time:

So, on Friday we had an extra companion with us for a day! Her name's Sister MCcullough. I don't know if I spelled that right, and apparently everyone pronounces it differently too. Anywhoo, she was originally in a trio, and her companions are the STL's. They had to start doing exchanges, and they didn't know what to do with her for the time being, so they gave her to us. She's a sweet girl. A great missionary so far. She joined us on our activities that were happening on Friday. 



Horses:

Working at Ride On was a bit different this time. So we showed up and there was pretty much no one there. Turns out they had started cancelling things when it gets above 95 degrees outside. Weenies. It was strange because I don't thing they ever did that over the summer. So, we took a picture with Kody this week! He's a silly one. I think he is the tallest horse at Ride On. Also, the girl with us in the picture is one of te volunteers. Eriyanna. I don't think I spelled that right. She's sweet. We told her about the Trunk-or-treat that the stake is putting on the 28th. 



Walk Day:

The tradition of this mission is that the first Saturday of the month is Walk Day. We are basically encouraged to use our car as little as possible. So, we did our Tech Exchanges for the first half of the day, and did a loop around some of the stores and such after. We got next to the library when we heard "Sisters!" which we both respond to. It's our new name now. It's going to replace Makenna soon I'm sure. And it's got to be plural, because it's never singular. Anywoo, Bishop was there and he bought us a burrito from the mexican place that's next to the library. That was cool. 



Finding Struggles:

A lot of our friends have just about dropped off the face of the earth. Either they're too busy for the next month or we can't get in contact with them. We were able to find a nice old lady to teach and get in contact with a referral, but we'll see what happens. Two is better than zero for sure. 



I believe that is it for this week! Thank you for reading if you got this far. I know a couple of you only look at the pictures haha. Until next time folks!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Image
Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
