Hello
Family and Friends, 11/19/12
I am so sorry that I didn't email last week. Things have been SUPER crazy!!!
It is time for a
special “Missionary Weekly”.
“Missionary Weekly”
Baptism,
one of the biggest!!! - Sis. Franks had her baptism last
Saturday. It was SUPER big!!! We had about 40 people there and about a
third of them were Non – Members.
It was awesome!!! It went off very well, the spirit was strong
there.
Rainy
Days, Sick times - Man,
the sickness is spreading through the mission. lol Miller just hasn't been
well. He gets sick on and off, but
he's doing better now. We've been
getting a lot of rain!!! I mean A LOT OF RAIN!!! I haven't been sick much, yet.
Jon
Milward - Jon
is doing well, but still a tough cookie to crack. Kyle is doing well too. We were going to have a lesson with him
this week, but they had to cancel.
Both are progressing well.
ZONE
CONFERENCE - We
also had a Zone Conference this week. We talked about the missionary increase,
and President Weston issued a challenge to us to read 6 pages out of the Book
of Mormon everyday from now till February. We are to finish it.
We also talked about the www.mormon.org/christmas web page that is going
up after Thanksgiving on November 26th. Check it out, it sounds cool.
That's it for “Missionary Weekly”; time
to go to Q&A CORNER!!!!
Q1.
Did you have two Baptisms last Saturday?
Did you perform either of the ordinances? How did Sister Franks
feel about the day? How did you feel about the day?
A1.
No we just had one. No, her son did the ordinance, Brother Brian Herring. She really enjoyed it a lot. It was
amazing.
Q2. Did you get snow this past week? Did you
get any of the storms that we had? How do you feel about driving in snow
and rain? Do you drive often? Who does most of the driving, you or
Elder Miller?
A2. Nope, but we did get rain. I'm ok with driving. Miller
drives most of the time.
Q3. I'm sorry I don't know who your friends are so I
don't know who to follow and share information about. I can tell you that
Hannah Holladay received her mission call. She is going to Kennewick,
Washington (where Evonne Guzzle is serving). Sonja Morris is waiting for
her call. Any advice you would like me to pass along to Hannah? Maybe
you could write her a letter, she doesn't leave till January 16th. Is
there anyone specific you would like me to find out about for you?
A3. That’s cool about Hannah! Yeah, um I would tell her to study
PMG and the Book of Mormon. I
might also tell her to prepare to be hosed at the MTC!!! There isn’t really
anyone specific I’d like to hear about except maybe just Doug and everyone you
know, I guess.
Q4. I do have a little sad news. Grandma's sister,
Aunt Sharon's husband passed away. My Uncle Larry. I know you have met
him several times but it would be hard to remember him, I'm sure. He had
Alzheimer and he was not doing well so it was a blessing for him. We will
all miss him though. Have you had to teach anyone who had lost a family
member recently? It is a chance to share a very important part of the
gospel. What is the hardest lesson you teach to your investigators?
A4. Not really, well not lost from death. The hardest lesson to
teach would probably be the Word of Wisdom because people just can't give up
their addictions.
Q5. When is Elder Miller's Birthday? When is his
release date? Has he been out as long as you or longer? What is his
favorite treat or something that he might enjoy? Is there anything you
are want or need? What would make your day if you got it in the mail?
A5. March 26th is Elder Miller’s Birthday. He goes
home Sept. 21, 2013. I've been out longer by one month. I really don’t know
what he likes. He would like
anything healthy, I guess. We've
both been trying to lose weight. I'm now at 198 lbs. I'm no longer in the
200's. WHOO HOO!!!! I’m still dropping too!!! Let’s see, something I want is
the CD I asked for, the “Eclipse Christmas”, White socks, a new bath Towel, I
don't know what else. Oh, jeans I need new jeans. I think that's it.
Q6. What have you been studying? Have you read any
of those little books we bought in the set, Jesus the Christ, Truth restored
etc? A girl that is leaving in December asked me, if she really needed
those books. I was just wondering if you read them or have read any of
them? Have you read any books that you feel are very helpful and
inspirational?
A6. Yeah, I finish “Our Search for Happiness” and “Our
Heritage”. I’m working on “True to
the Faith” and “Jesus the Christ”. Oh yeah, those books really do help to
understand the gospel very well. They really make you think. Yeah, “Jesus the
Christ” is especially important to have.
Q7. You asked for the 7th question. What was the
best part of your week? What was the worst part of your week? What
kept you so busy last week that you could not email us? I am a Mom and no
email makes me nervous. Are you getting along with Elder Miller? I
have had some motherly vibes and hope you will confide in me about your
companionship.
A7. The rain was the best part of my week. Driving to Redding
was the worst part of the week. We were trying to get a hitch on the car and it
was taking forever. We were busy
working with less-actives and we had to save miles for the trip to Redding.
Well got to
go. Until Next time,
Safety
