Eclipses At Zone Conference!

Hi everyone! It’s Sunday again, so you get to hear from me! Woohoo! Or at least I hope that’s what you’re thinking. Or maybe it’s more along the lines of ‘oh shoot, it’s her again’ but hey, you subscribed to my email list and haven’t told me you want out! You’re all stuck with me! 



Zone Conference! 

So on Monday instead of our usual District Council we had Zone Conference with all the other service missionaries! It’s still crazy to me that we have enough service missionaries to have our own zone. We talked about finding miracles in the day-to-day. To seek and expect them. Our mission is praying for 1008 of them, so if you want to pray for them with us, feel free! I really like how President Staples phrased it all. The spirit was there and a peaceful feeling was there in that chapel. 



Eclipse!!

During Zone Conference there was an Eclipse! And we went outside and saw it during lunch. It was really cool! I’ve got some pictures. My pictures couldn’t get the crescent so I borrowed the ones my Dad took from St George. Although it was fun to look at, it almost wasn’t worth standing out in the cold! We went to Cedar city for Zone Conference, and it was a very cold and windy day. Almost froze! The people I was riding with asked why anyone would ever live there and to be honest, I agree because I don’t think I would. 



Temple Trip with the District! 

On Tuesday my District all went to the temple for Initiatories and Baptisms together. It was great! I do with they would have told me and my companion Sister Amy that they were going to take a picture though because we weren’t in it. Traitors. 



Studies! 

I felt like I should include the fact that me and Sister Amy listened to His Grace is Efficient by Brad Wilcox during one of our comp studies this week. If you haven’t listened to it I definitely encourage it! I love it so much that I try to tell everyone I can about it. He talks about what god’s grace really is and how we can best use the Atonement. If you haven’t listened, do it! You will not regret it! 



That’s all for this week folks! I’ve got more pictures than usual this week so enjoy!

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...
