Some things just happen....mission life...my hands smell really good now

Good Day family! 

What's the work on the street? have you had a crazy week?? 

This week was great we went to ZTM and it was fantastic. It got us really jazzed about life. We got all pumped about the work and then we had a sisters lunch where we all went out to eat as sisters. And it was cute. We are so far away from each other it was nice to be with other missionaries. 

After ZTM we had a rough couple of days. Surprise we learn and grow and then fall flat on our face. hahah!!! :) But we are going to be fine just keep working hard and praying always. 

I want to tell you about some of the people we are teaching. :) 

T is a women we are teaching she married an RM and she had no interest in the church at all. she heard awful things about us and about Joseph Smith. Slowly her kids started taking the lessons and getting baptized she supported them. But she was sooo against joining the church. When my comp talked to her about 13 weeks ago she basically kicked the sisters out of her house and didn't want them to teach her daughter in her home. Now things have changed. She has a change of heart and has a date to be baptized. she realized that the church wasn't bad and all of those things were not true. :) She has been prepared and has seen the lords hand in her life. It is such a blessing to be able to teach her and see the changes in her life. 

L also married a member. Has met with missionaries before but never really clicked with any one. She has been meeting with us and we are close to getting her on date. This week we taught her about attending church. I felt so guided by the spirit to share with her how my family went to church on one of the hardest weeks of our lives and since then I haven't missed. Because if you can go to church when your life is turned upside down, you should always go to church. She was crying and she said okay I am in. I know the Lord has placed me here for a reason with this Companion with these people. He knows me and knows them and I am here to do his work! :) 

So those are some of my people and I love them dearly! 
The work is not easy. Being a missionary is not easy. But what in life is easy. I was reading today " Missionary work and the atonement" By Elder Jeffrey R. Holland. He said missions aren't suppose to be easy. Salvation was never cheap. And during those hard times we are standing with Christ. A perfect man who endured all things to bring salvation to us all. 

That is what I focus on. I really know that it I am doing his work. And it isn't easy. But it is his work and it will always be worth it. 

Thank you for your love and support. I know you get me through each day. You are all amazing thank you for your shinning examples. The Gospel does in FACT bless families....Just look at us. 

I love you all. Don't forget he is always there all you have to do is ASK! 
-Read -Pray -Attend -Love each other

Love,
