Sister Suda and I went over to Stephanies [excuse me, Sister Marcil's] house for dinner this week. This picture was taken May 2015 when we went down to the temple!

Wednesday, we went to a specialized sister's training! It had half the sisters there and we had instructions and such like "caring for your companion" "learning to love obedience" "avoiding comparing yourself to others" "overcoming fear with faith" and so on. We did a service project making blankets for project Linus. And we had a FASHION SHOW! So what does a Sister Missionary fashion show consist of?? Some good examples and some bad examples of how to dress! Click here to find experience it too! :) --> 


This week there was a lot of Sister Suda and me (mostly me) forgetting our name tags! now considering we are both in our last few months you might think thats not a problem! Well this week it was! haha I left mine on Wed, we both left ours on Thursday, and Sister Suda ALMOST left hers on Friday! then I forgot mine sunday, but I was prepared and had put an extra in my bag! I had had enough! On Thursday we took a picture when we realized we forgot them! (luckily we got to go back home)

Thursday we got to go on splits with Amethyst!! and another YSA in the ward, Marina! We forgot to take pictures before we dropped Marina off :( but we did get some with Amethyst! you can get the pictures here! -->


Thursday was the dinner with Sister Marcil! We also taught her daughter, Jennah (11) who joined the church to this past year. The New member lesson she is on is Chastity so we watched "Chastity: What are the limits?"
a little awkward but good! Share it with any teenagers who may need the reminder ;)

Friday was my first Mission Leadership Council! That was pretty cool. President started off talking a lot about how leadership works in the Lords Kingdom. I learned a lot about the flow of authority and gained a lot of respect for mission leadership that is for certain! heres a fun picture from our short road trip with the Zone leaders!

So a few weeks ago Kaitlynn (10) got baptized and her very best friend is Chelsie! Chelsie took a lesson or two from the sisters but then had to stop becasue her mom "didnt know we were mormon." Last week after Chelsie came to church we went over to her house and introduced ourselves to her mom, Sharita. Told her we LOVED having her daughter in church with us. We invited Sharita to take the lessons and try out one more church (she kind of gave up finding a church for her) and she accepted. Saturday we went over for our return appointment, taught the restoration and invited them all to baptism! She and her 4 daughters said yes! :) How cool! I mean it was a soft invite like "if you came to know these things were true would you be baptized by someone holding God's authority?" but thats okay :) 

Then! They all came to church the next day and Theresa came with Olivia!

Cool week! I hope you all have a wonderful week! I love you and I love this work!
