IT'S EVEN CLOSER!!!!!!!!!

So, I'm back once again. And it's less than a week until Christmas!!!! 5 days to be exact. 


Stake Musical Devotional!
So, on Sunday for Christmas the Stake Choir put on a show. And Sister Mansfield was in it so we were able to go! Well, all of the other missionaries invited friends too so I think the whole zone plus half of the stake was there. It was so cool! The music was so wonderful and the messages in between were so powerful. The Spirit was so strong! 


District Christmas Song!
So for Zone Conference on Thursday, they are having the first half of the mission get together and all of the Districts are doing a musical number and bearing testimonies. It'll be so good. We are singing one of Sister Mansfield's original songs for it. It's about Mary and the sheperds and their experience with baby Jesus so it'll be good! We started practicing on Sunday evening while the missionaries were there after the music devotional and during Jesus's interview. Speaking of... 


Jesus passed his interview!!
So our friend Jesus had his interview with Elder Aposhian and passed with flying colors! This was on Sunday after the Stake musical devotional, told us he passed with the largest smile on his face and all the missionaries that were still at the stake center were all so excited! Everyone loves him and we're all so excited! He's getting baptized this Saturday and we are all so happy for him. 


Recording songs!!
So turns out, we have a professional film maker in our ward! We talked to him on Sunday at church and he volunteered to professionally record a couple of Sister Mansfield's songs! We did the song that we're going to sing at Zone Conference and Sister MCcullough played the voilin as a side for it. It was so cool! Also it turns out he did the voice announcing the songs for the Tabernacle choir! He did the voice for us and we all flipped. So cool. 


So that's the meat of what has happened this week. It's been a good one, but I also can't wait to see what next week brings. Also, I woke up missing my voice and I hope it gets better before tomorrow. I have a small part in the musical number and it'd be sad if I only mouth the words instead of sing them. Pray that my voice will be better even if it's just for the song? I think the Lord will listen if we pray hard enough. Well, until next time!

More At The Temple Open House!!

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!

Image
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...
