What up fam?

This week has been a good one! Here are some highlights!

We were visiting some former investigators and we were able to start teaching a family! They have a little boy named Caleb. He's 11 and he's pretty solid. It's so great! He and his dad came to church this week and it was ward conference! It was such a blessing. 

We've been working a lot on talking to people about family history and it's been great! We've been able to have some real success with some less active members we work with through doing family history with them. #SpiritofElijah
 
We stopped by Connie's this week with Sister Haslam (aka the bombest ward member ever). We hadn't been able to get in contact with her so we just stopped by and it turns out she has a cracked rib! Poor Connie! We love her so much! We were able to read some of the Book of Mormon with her and it was so great. We also went over another time this week and read with her. 

Last preparation day we went to a member's house in Wadsworth for a zone activity because they have this huge court/sport/shed/barn/exercise place and we played basketball and volleyball and soccer and it was a blast! Also the best thing probably ever happened there. Sister Winsor climbed a rope and I laughed so hard I cried but also it was so impressive. I wish I would have videoed it! It's one of my favorite moments so far. It was so great!

It's been a good week! And each one gets better. I love you all! ps. Yes I have Facebook and yes my profile picture was actually my twin for a while but oh well. We're basically one anyway! (I needed a picture with a mission tag in it and I couldn't find one that showed my tag.)

Love!

Pictures are from a dinner appointment while we were on exchanges. 



LOVE YOU!

Hey fam! This week went by crazy fast. Honestly, time just needs to slow down. I'm not quite ready to go home yet. Don't get me wrong. I'm excited to see all of you, but I'm really sad to be leaving. I'm trying to soak it all in while I can!  This week was a super one! We had exchanges and both Sister Bretz and her trainee, Sister Anderson, came to Roseville. It was so much fun! I was able to spend the whole day with Sister Anderson and she's awesome. I swear when I had been out for 3 weeks I said maybe like 3 words a day (okay maybe that's an exaggera tion). I was so nervous and it took me a super long time to get used to the missionary way, but Sister Anderson was bomb! She killed it the whole day! We studied the Plan of Salvation together. Wow. I love Heavenly Father so much! He loves so much. His plan for us to have joy and to return to Him with our families (aka the Plan of Salvation) is literally perfect. Jesus Christ makes it all possible to...

The Miracles Haven't Stopped!

Wow! What an amazing week Sister Pierce and I had! We have witnessed so many of the Lord's blessings! Tricia and Christian brought their friend Louy to church and we've started teaching him.  Christian knows the Book of Mormon is true!!!!!! I love those 3 people so much and all of their dogs! Adam came to church!! The ward LOVED him! He loved church! We taught him the Word of Wisdom and he threw away everything that would stop him from living it! He's been studying the Book of Mormon everyday and probably gets more out of his studies than I do!  We love Adam so much! (By we I mean all 7 missionaries serving in this ward!) We stand by the front doors and greet people before sacrament meeting starts every Sunday and when he walked through the church doors on Sunday, we all shouted, "ADAM!" at the same time! He's just so cool! We will probably get to meet his kids this week!!!!!  We started teaching Kelly. She's  Adam's daughter-in-la...

Loving the MTC and a Testimony

Dear Mom, Dad, Collin, Kenna, and Katy,  (letter written on Sunday, June 4th) Record Katy's setting apart! Then you can type it and send it to her. Sister Warren did that and I think it's a great idea. How is Katy? I honestly can't think about her leaving because it makes me wanna cry. I know that I had such a bad day (the second day only - every day has been better since) I'm worried about her. I know I shouldn't be and I'm trying not to, but it's hard not to! I've really learned to fully rely on the Lord. He has felt these exact same things we've felt. He will help us through them. We taught our first investigator (an MTC one) on Monday. I was terrified. We taught her the Restoration (which I have learned a lot about). Her name is Patty and she had a son that died. We shared with her some trials in our life and how we know God had helped us through. Parents, the spirit was so strong! I didn't even need my notes. I just spoke from my heart...
