about>_______________________________________________________________________________
I visited another wards Relief Society today and the Sister missionaries
were there. I was going to ask them if they had some where to eat dinner
tonight or tomorrow but they left 10 minutes early so I didn't get the
chance. We have had Sister missionaries in our area for over 1 year now.
They do a tour through the Stake Center every Tuesday evening for anyone
that is interested. They love it when members show up to help out. This
means that we have to clean the building every Monday. Okay, not just our
ward but 2 others. We take turns. This month is us, so I will be taking kids
with me tomorrow to help out. They have the day off of school.
Zach was asked to give a talk today on D&C 8, however he got ill Saturday
and was still running a fever this morning with a sore throat. So he stayed
home. I forgot all about it until the Bishop mouthed to me from the
stand,"is Zach here"? me"No, he is home sick". Then it hit me that he was
supposed to speak. So, I pointed to myself and then to the stand to let him
know that I would do it if needed. The Bishop just smiled. Thankfully, they
had scheduled 3 youth speakers and 2 adult speakers and I didn't have to get
up and speak.
Talking about speaking in church...I finally got a copy of the schedule for
the Stake and when and where everyone talks for the year. Guess what, I'm
not on it, yet. But you are on there for June and July. The haven't filled
in the last 3 months yet-so I may end up talking but it won't be 2 or 3
times like usual.
President Spencer wants all of our talks and activities to be on the basics
and doctrine of the church. He says to many people are afraid to teach the
doctrine because they don't know it. Also, that we need to have more then
just a testimony---we need to be converted. The world is getting harder on
religion and we will have to stick up for it and our believes.
General Womens Conference is coming up at the end of the month again. I'm
excited to see what all of the messages will be on and who will speak. The
Stake RS presidency was in charge of advertising this time---so less stress
for me. I made poster and hung them in every building and then made
handouts for the RS president to handout at church. I'm sure we will still
be there to help set up and then stay and help clean up-just comes with the
calling.
I hope that you are doing well and sharing your love of the gospel.
Love ya lots, Mom

Things are going well here, not much has happend we have been tracting
a lot to increase our teaching pool. we only have about 4
investigators at the moment. My new companion is Elder Hardman and he
is from UT. Something i ate that is new is Nutella SHH dont tell zach
or paige...haha they tried to get me to eat it befor i left on mission
and they failed.
So the only Not exciting thing that happend this week was we didnt
have water for 6 days we were using a big tank that fills with water
from the rain so we had to boil water all the time. it was not any fun
we also had to take splash baths. Turns out one of the elders was
playing with the water nobs and turned the water off to the house we
finally figured it all out when it was sunday evening i decided to
look at the nobs out side and i found the problem. but thats about it
for the week.
I knew i would be on that list in june....its a missionary thing you
know how it goes.
