Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be spiritually-minded is life eternal.

Holy cow. I don't even know where to begin and how describe how beautiful and
amazing it felt. I have truly missed the temple so much and I can't wait until
I am able to go all the time when I am home. All the departing missionaries
went. We went and did a session in the temple. Wow, it's absolutely gorgeous. I
was in awe the whole time. The spirit that was there is so incredible. I
couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day. Of course I have tons of pictures,
so those will be coming your way. After the session, we were able to go around
and look at the sealing rooms. Sister Smith took us in one of the sealing rooms
and we talked a little. In the words of Sister Smith, "marriage is our
next mission." I still feel too young for this haha. But I am excited to
go home and to be in the House of the Lord. I really want to go work in the
temple... so I'll be trying to do that ASAP.</span></span><span class="m6882952787531485358apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

week. We were teaching them about the gospel of Jesus Christ and talking about
how baptism is the first step and gateway to the straight and narrow path. We
were done with our lesson and asking them if they had any questions, Brian was
all serious and said, "Sisters, I've been praying and I really want to be
baptized. What do I need to do and when can I do it?" Completely
astonished, we explained to him the process and what he needs to do. We
explained that we usually like them to come to church three times before they
are baptized. We told him that </span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="color: #222222;">January

We asked Justin how he felt about it and he said he would work towards it as
well. It is so amazing to see their faith. To see how much they have already
grown with us meeting with them the past 3 weeks. We met with them a lot this
week! They told us they were coming to church</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span data-term="goog_487214985" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span style="color: #222222;">on

had our Christmas conference this Tuesday. It was so awesome!! Our whole
mission got together. It was so fun to see my friends again and make more
friends! The mission has truly given me so many blessings and meeting so many
wonderful people has been one of those blessings. I have gained so many
friendships, I absolutely love it. Our mission was just introduced to using
iMessage, Skype and FaceTime to interact with our investigators. We are able to
Skype members in to lessons and Skype our investigators to try to make daily
contact with them.</span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392s1"><span style="color: #222222;">It's
going to be such a huge blessing. I am glad I was able to be a part of it for a
little bit. Because it's such a big thing, we were able to have 3 people Skype
in our conference. The first one was someone from Salt Lake missionary department.
He gave us some training on how we can better use Skype and daily contact out
investigators. The second one was Justin Anderson; he is University of Virginia’s
football recruiter. He is helping coach with Bronco. It was super cool to hear
from him and have him help motivate us. Then the best of all, President and Sister
Wilson (previous mission president and wife) skyped in. AWESOME</span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392s1"><span style="color: #222222;">!</span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392s1"><span style="color: #222222;"> It
was so fun to see them. I sure do love and miss them so much. The rest of the
conference was so great. We had over an hour worth of musical numbers. We and
four other sisters in our zone, performed. It was such a fun day full of the
wonderful spirit of Christmas.</span></span></span><br />

a lot this week. We had a skype lesson with them and have been able to meet
with them as well. We talked about the Plan of Salvation in one lesson and they
LOVED it. They were asking so many questions and they loved how God has mapped
it out so wonderfully and beautifully for us. I love being able to see the light
bulb moments in people's minds and to see the peace and comfort the Plan of Salvation
can give to them.</span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

for me to comprehend. I love these people so much, but He loves them 1000 times

they wanted us to keep singing. I think they liked the company as well. We were
able to meet so many wonderful people and hear some amazing stories. Two ladies
fell in love with one of the elders. One even danced with him. It was such a

with investigators and recent converts. My favorite story of forgiveness is
when Jesus Christ is on the cross and he forgives those who have done him wrong
and have hurt him. His example is incredible. Sometimes it's easy to hold
grudges and be mad at people. We just need to know that being mad at someone
isn't going to get us anywhere. It's only going to bring us down. How do we
expect God to forgive us if we can't forgive others?</span></span><span class="m5903653798085273392apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

me tell you about Bryan and Justin. We had FHE on Monday and a recent convert
was walking to the church and saw his neighbor, Bryan, sitting outside his
apartment and asked him if he wanted to come to FHE.. He didn't have anything
better, so he came with him. I was talking with him and asking if we could come
over and he said yes but turned to me and said, "well I'm not religious at
all and don't even know I believe in God, I'm not too interested but y'all can
still come over." We set an appointment and left it at that. I was very
hesitant going into the lesson. He clearly stated that he wasn't religious and
didn't seem interested.... But we had the faith and went in. We got there and
invited his little brother Justin to join in with us and he had no hesitation
and sat down.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Within 2 minutes</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m4387047822201460377s1"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">of talking with them, my heart changed. Wow, the spirit
was there- Very strongly. We talked a lot about Jesus Christ and Heavenly
Father and how much they love us. I could just feel the love that they had for
these two. How much God wanted them to find him and be happy. As we were
talking and sharing experiences, Bryan just started crying. I know they both
felt the love Heavenly Father had for them. We invited them to pray and ask God
if He was there and if He loved them. We asked if we could come by and they
both got real excited and said we could come back whenever we wanted. (Miracle
right there in itself) We went back a day later and they both prayed and asked
God their questions. Justin felt a little something and Bryan said after saying
his prayer, his next day was so amazing. He said he knows that had to be from
God. It was so so so amazing. Justin's girlfriend was also there and sat in on
the lesson and seemed to really like it. We then met with just Bryan on
Saturday and did a church tour with him. He loved it! He was going to come to
church Sunday, but something came up... be he is always so excited to meet with
us again.</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m4387047822201460377apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is another cool miracle. She lives with a member and the member is so amazing
at sharing the gospel with her. She is so loving and wants to do everything she
can to help her learn more. We set an appointment to see Audrey and went over
this week. She even made us lunch. :) We talked to her a lot about the Book of
Mormon and how we can find peace as we read it. Audrey knows a lot about the
church and knows she wants to become a Mormon one day; she just needs to read

had Return and Report on Friday. We went to downtown Richmond (Chippy and VCU
campus). It was for all the trainers and trainees. President and Sister Smith
gave us some really good trainings and continued to pump us up for the last 2
weeks of the transfer. (I can't believe the transfer is more than half way
over). It was so fun to be in Richmond again and of course see Sissy Fitt. I
seriously love her to death. She truly is my bestest friend</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">. </span></span><span class="m4387047822201460377s1"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">We
were able to go hit the streets and go to campus and go contacting for about an
hour and a half. I'VE MISSED IT. I forgot how bold and brave I could be. Haha
but it was such a good day. We then drove two hours back to our area and had a
wonderful ward Christmas party to end the night.</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

decided to be really bold with him and ask him if he would want to listen to

in us coming by to teach HIM and come to church. He looked at us and was like
yes, I would actually really like to learn. So we will be coming by to teach him
how. We are super excited!</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

first got here, we were calling people in the area book to see if we could set
appointments up with them. We called Jolene, she is 20 years old, and she said
she would love to meet with us. Here's a little of Jo's story:</span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

care; she never really had a stable home. She has a lot of brothers and all of
them are currently in jail. She wanted to do something big to show her brothers
they can too. She joined the Marines. She told us how hard it was and how she
kept seeing God help her and the tender mercies he would give her. She ended up
passing out and having to be in the hospital for over 3 weeks. She was
discharged but they are letting her back in and she will be going to the Army
now! She told herself she would find a church once she was home. She knew a
Mormon girl growing up and went to some get-together/parties with her. She
loved it because they were having so much fun, but didn't have any alcohol. So she
had her aunt drop her off at our church in October. She really liked it and is
excited to learn more. She works a lot but is so willing to meet with us and
learn more. I love her.</span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was a particular day that things seemed to go very wrong and not in our favor.
One thing happened after another, so the little things (we just look back at
them and laugh because we are so ridiculous) seemed to be so big at the moment.
It was a series of unfortunate events. This paragraph is here for your
entertainment and for some laughter for your day. It started out being freezing
cold. The weather is so darn cold here, so knowing it was freezing already
start out not in our favor. You know when the weather gets below your age, it's
a problem.</span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306s1"><span style="color: #222222;">Haha
we had a few cancelations, no one wanted to talk to us, we texted almost every
sister in the ward to see if they could take us to the baptism Saturday and no
one could and people getting mad. It seemed to be a domino effect. We had a
dinner with a member that night but they had a meeting and had to cancel, but
she said she would order us pizza and have it delivered to our house. We were
SO EXCITED and couldn't wait for dinner. As we were driving home I jokingly
said, watch our pizza not come. Well... I spoke too soon. The pizza never did
show up. Hahaha we just laid on the ground or staring out the window for that
hour trying not to laugh at our life. That was the cherry on top. Haha but...
the good news was the weekend was absolutely amazing!! We look back and laugh
because it wasn't even that bad of a day, now it's just funny!</span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

week. Usually, in order to go to a baptism in your old area, you have to be
fairly close and a member has to take you. I decided I would call President to
see if I could go. What was there to lose right? HE SAID I COULD GO!!! I was so
stinking excited. We started calling and texting people in the ward to see if
they could take us. Nothing... no one could. Thursday night came and I was set
on the fact I just wasn't going to be able to go. I was a little bummed, but
understood because people are busy and it was a 2 hour drive. Friday afternoon
we had a meeting with our ward mission leader. After the meeting,Sister Wastlund checked the
phone and saw that we had a text. A member said she would be able to take us!!!
I was so excited. I only told Emma Claire and Sissy Fitt that I was coming. It
was so fun to walk in and see so many people that I loved, it's only been 3
weeks, but boy have I missed them. McKenzie’s baptism was amazing, I love her
so darn much. Her mom that wasn't a member attended her baptism and you could
just see how happy she was for her daughter. I am SO grateful for the member
that took us, she is a life saver.</span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Cuneo. I taught her my first transfer in Chippenham and then she moved to
Virginia Tech to go to school. She was a huge miracle!! Well, she and Missy
(the other girl we taught) went down there and didn't meet with the
missionaries because they were busy with school. But, I got an email last
Monday saying that Haley was baptized!!!!!!! It made me so happy to hear that.
I am so grateful I was able to meet her and teach her a little bit. I love when
people make those covenants with our Father in Heaven!</span></span><span class="m-2557086734464412306apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

someone explained how "mas" in Spanish is MORE. So look at Christmas
and it means MORE CHRIST. Whoa, that is cool. It just really reminds us that we
need to be more focused on Christ and those around us. Yes, presents are
wonderful, but we need to remember what our Savior, Jesus Christ has done for

prayers. I don't know what it is, this might be everywhere and I'm just
noticing it. But when people pray here, it's so sincere and it’s like they
truly are talking to a friend. I love how personal they are. One of my favorite
lines that 90% of the prayers I hear say the phrase, "thank you for waking
us up this morning." Every time people say that, it makes me stop and
think. How lucky are we, that we get one more day to wake up to such a
beautiful place, to get to be able to move, breath and go about our everyday
life. Yes, we may have hard days, but we are alive. We need to be so thankful
for that. There's a saying that someone would say down in Chippy, he said,
"I don't ever have bad days, I just have days better than others."
That has also really stuck with me and has helped me realize how much our
attitude does matter in every day to day situation. I love that people are
thankful for another day, because some people don't get that opportunity.</span></span><span class="m1087824269463079114apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

given us called the Plan of Salvation. I grew up learning about the Plan of Salvation,
but all I could grasp is That We lived with God before we came here and will be
able to live with our families forever after we die. But being on a mission, I
have learned SO Much about it and the whole plan God has given us and how
perfect it is. Every time I teach it, I'm in awe of how amazing and perfect it
really is. It answers so many of life's questions and is the perfect map and
pathway for us to follow. Here's a really cool story- We were teaching our
investigator Donna. Her son was baptized almost a year ago and he introduced
the last sisters that were serving here to his mom. She is reading the Book of
Mormon on her own little by little and knows she needs to be baptized. This was
our second meeting with her and we felt very impressed to share the Plan of Salvation
with her. As we were explaining, we also had little visuals, she just started
sobbing. She kept saying how amazing and wonderful this was and how it made her
feel so happy and warm. After we were done teaching her, we started talking
about baptism and how we loved her so much, we wanted her to come and be in the
celestial kingdom. We invited her to be baptized (we like having investigators
to church at least 3 times) and we looked at our calendar and</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> <span data-term="goog_1850964011" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">December

We invited her
to be baptized then and she got emotional again. She kept saying, "wow,
that would be amazing to be baptized a day before Jesus Christ birth." She
really liked it and accepted the date. Hopefully she continues to progress and
work towards it.</span></span><span class="m1087824269463079114apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

now serving in Harrisonburg, VA. It's North West Virginia and so far, it has
been so wonderful. I already love it here. The ward is YSA and family, so we
are able to work with both, which is really fun. Best of both worlds!! We have
James Madison University (JMU) in our area, so we can proselyte there as well.
Thank goodness, because I LOVE working on campus. We have another set of Elders
in our ward, they are the zone leaders, and they used to be strictly YSA, but
since it is Thanksgiving break this past week and school is going to be out
soon, we compromised and said that we could all do both. These elders have been
very nice to show us around and tell us things we need to know, since we did
white wash. #blessings</span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I LOVE HER
TO DEATH. Her name is Sister Wastlund and guess where she is from.... you
guessed it, St. George, Utah :) She went to Pine View High School. She
seriously is the cutest thing in the world. I feel like I have known her
forever, which I haven't, I just met her 6 days ago. We have been having so much
fun together already. This transfer is going to be so darn fun. She is so amazing;
I am so impressed with her already. I am so sad I am only going to be with her
for 6 weeks, but we can hang out when she gets home.</span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

was really hard to leave Chippenham, I seriously love that ward so much. I have
met so many wonderful people and have made so many wonderful friends there. I
will cherish and hold on to those friendships forever. I met one of my best
friends there. I am so glad God sent me there; he knew I needed the people and
those friendships. I can't tell you how much I loved serving with Sister Fitt,
actually I can, I love her so much I'm making her come to Dixie State
University with me and live with us, so I guess you could say I love her around
the world</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823s2"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">1948194</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823s1"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">times. She is amazing, she taught me so much and has also
become one of my bestest friends. It was also so fun serving around the Ap's.
Holy cow, they are such wonderful missionaries and do SO many things for this
mission. But, thank goodness I can still
talk, see and be friends with those I met forever. Reason #4321 why missions
are amazing-the friendships. On Monday, there were about 15 of us who went out
to a goodbye lunch for me. It was so
sweet for everyone to come and it was fun being with them before I left.</span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

Chinese, so talking to them was a struggle. Haha but they were so nice to have
us over and invite us in to their home. They had a little boy named Samuel, he
is 7. After racing little remote control cars and playing Uno, we sat down and
I played the ukulele, while he sang Christmas songs. It was the cutest!! He's

investigators and we decided we should try Donna. Donna’s son, Cesar just got
baptized a few months ago. She has been able to see such a big change in him
and loves how spiritual he is now. He introduced her to the church and has met
with the sisters once and has been reading the Book of Mormon. We asked her how
she felt about it and she just paused and said, "It’s so amazing." We
asked her how she felt about baptism and she said she knows she wants to; she
just needs to get her answer first. She said she wants to take it a little
slow, but when she feels the Holy Ghost, she won't be able to deny it.</span></span><span class="m3020365084189424823apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is amazing, and he drops everything for us and will come out and teach with us

mouth watered. So of course, Sister Fitt and I don't mess around, so right
after we got back to the church, we turned around and ordered pizza. Yes, we
ate the whole box as we sat on our floor. Best choice ever. As missionaries,
there's this thing called 6 months to sexy (trying to lose all the weight they
have gained before they go home, as you can tell, I have not been participating
due to random pizza runs at night) #6minutestosexy?</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

with us for the day since their trainers are going home this transfer and they
went to the temple. So we got to go on splits on VCU campus and go nuts!
They're also really funny and we had a blast. We were also able to teach

by heading over to the mission home for a lesson! We had a less-active, Jeff,
and his nonmember girlfriend, Stephanie, go over so we could teach them. We
were able to teach them the Plan of Happiness and Stephanie really seemed to
like it. President and Sister Smith also gave really good input as well, which
is nice. The cool thing is when Jeff kept whipping out scriptures for her to
read and at the end when he baptismally invited her on a specific date! The
spirit was really strong. Later we taught this guy Louis... he was interesting
to say the least. Let's just say his view of how God thinks of us is like how
we think of ants. Also, when he prayed at the end, he prayed that we sisters
wouldn't get robbed, stabbed, or beat up like everyone else in Downtown
Richmond, which was nice. HAHA.</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the other day for this girl named McKenzie! She is probably the most solid
person I have ever met on my mission. Her background information said she
really wanted a Book of Mormon and to give her a call to set up a time to meet
with her. We called her and she agreed to meet with us the following day. Wow,
I can't tell you how amazing she is. She has had a lot of life experiences that
has led her to the Mormon Church. Her mom even met with the missionaries a few
times. She said she was looking for peace and comfort and she knew she needed
to meet with us, so she referred herself on</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"> </span></span><span class="m-6317913184082292400s2"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://Mormon.org&source=gmail&ust=1480647417064000&usg=AFQjCNHOsRDGwtIezHI6L8t6_yc29EHwpg" href="http://mormon.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Mormon.org</span></a></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"> </span></span><span class="m-6317913184082292400s1"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";">and chatted with the missionaries

much peace and knows she needs to go this route. We invited her to be baptized
and she didn't hesitate at all!! She also came to church yesterday. She

start out with the HIGHLIGHT of the week...... Jessie was baptized!!!!!!!!!!
Holy cow, it was such an amazing night! Jessie has truly become one of my
greatest friends. She was glowing all night and looked so extremely happy. I
love being able to see people as they know the covenants they are making with
Heavenly Father and seeing the blessings shower them. Jessie sang a song that
she wrote and performed it right before she was baptized and it was so amazing
and then after she was baptized, she bore such a powerful testimony. The spirit
was so strong at her baptism.</span></span><span class="m-2270959577729989318gmail-m-6711676633279894391apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m-2270959577729989318gmail-apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span class="m-2270959577729989318gmail-m-6711676633279894391s1"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Not

is doing great. He is opening up to us and let us know that he is nervous to be
baptized, but he knows he needs to do it. We pushed him back to the 19th of
November, but we know God has a plan, and if it's God’s will, it will happen.
We know he can do it; he just needs to not be nervous. (Which is easier said
than done) Ryan, his main fellowshipper is so wonderful. He invited Stefano to
fast to see if November 19 is when he needs to be baptized. It was such a
wonderful invitation and we know that Heavenly Father will answer his prayers
and recognize how much he wants it as he fasted. Hopefully he will be able to
recognize his answer. We will see, I know he can do it!!</span></span><span class="m-2270959577729989318gmail-m-6711676633279894391apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span></span><br />

were on campus the other day (right after Trump won) and there was a protest on
campus, (I've never heard so many profound words in one place in my life.) plus
there was some weird guy standing on a box preaching about how everyone are
sinners. We were just walking around and stopped to listen and then he starts
calling us out. Emma Claire was with us as well. It was pretty funny. We didn't
give him the time of day, he wanted us to fight back, but we just laughed, so
he moved on to someone else.

of the week: 3 Nephi 19:20-25. We had a combined lesson yesterday in church.
Sister Fitt and I had to do a little part in it; she read a quote from a
conference talk. It was about the people who were told not to proselyte and
then the people said, "But what are we going to do with the light in their
eyes." Okay.. sorry, that was like the worst description ever. (It's in Be
an example in the light. October 2015, it's super good) but this scripture our
bishop told us to read and relate to that quote. It's when Jesus Christ is
praying and asks to give the Holy Ghost to his disciples. I love verse 25 it's
says, "And it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto
him; and his countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his countenance
did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the countenance and also
the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the
whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the
whiteness thereof." I LOVE this verse. It just shows and tells us that as
members of the church we have the Holy Ghost with us. We need to be an example
to those around us. We have the Holy Ghost with us and the light of Christ.
Share it!! :) (go read that whole chapter, it's really good)</span></span><span class="m-2270959577729989318gmail-m-6711676633279894391apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

does for us and how we need to be more sincere and remember the importance as
we invite others. It was a good reminder. I am so grateful for baptism and the

missionaries, but instead we stayed in our area this time. I was with Sister
Johnson again. She is a greenie and has been out for 3 weeks now! She is so
darn cute. We were able to meet this really cute and nice girl named Jade. She
has a strong belief in God and Jesus Christ, but was really excited to meet
with us again and talk about how she can strengthen it a little more. I love
seeing the greenie fire in Sister Johnson. She wants to help everyone she can
come closer to Christ. She isn't afraid to say hi to people as we contact. I
was terrified to say anything to anyone when I first came out, so it's so cool
to see how excited she is about doing the work.</span></span><span class="m7003632197160436749apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

to the picture of when Jesus Christ came to America. She cut us off and said,

is still doing great. He still is figuring out if he should be baptized this

I used this scripture as I explained being united as a
mission but made my own little thought out of it. "And it came to pass
that thus they did go forth among all the people of Nephi (Virginia), and (the
Virginia Richmond missionaries) did preach the gospel of Christ unto all people
upon the face of the land; and they were converted unto the Lord, and were
united unto the church of Christ, and thus the people of that generation were
blessed, according to the word of Jesus."</span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Coming Soon"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";">This week has
been really good; we are starting to really build up our teaching pool. The
struggle with YSA is they will show they are really interested and we get a
first lesson with them. We get their contact information and set up a return
appointment and they either don't show up, won't answer their phone or try and
be clever and give us the wrong phone number or we call/text them and they just
block us. (It happens daily) BUT, in the midst of it all, we are
finding really solid and cool people right now. Let me tell you about two: </span><span style="font-family: "coming soon";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";">Kayla, she is
so cool. She was walking on campus and we commented how much we liked her
sweatshirt. She turned around and was really happy and told us how she got it
on sale and all this funny stuff. We, of course, took advantage because we had
her engaged in conversation and she hadn't run away yet. We then started
talking to her about religion and she commented on how she had a friend who
just got back from her mission and is a Mormon. (You HARDLY get that in
Virginia. We are lucky if they know about our church.) She was religious but
wanted to explore different religions and find out what best fits her. She was
dealing with roommate drama, so she couldn't stay very long, but we set up a
return appointment. She actually texted us back and met with us a few days
later!! It was really awesome. We went through the restoration with her and she
really liked it. She said it all made sense! We set up another return
appointment and will be meeting with her again this week :) </span><span style="font-family: "coming soon";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";">Sarah. She was
a cool miracle. We were out with a member last night and weren't finding much
success. We talked to people on campus for a whole hour and they would either
straight ignore us or we would talk to them for a little and then they would
just make up an excuse and leave. Super lame. We decided to try a different
part of campus and walk around a little more. We walked by Sarah and said hi.
She was super happy and bubbly and said hi right back. (Again, that doesn't
happen very often) We started talking to her about her religious belief. She
had little to no belief in God and Jesus Christ. We really focused on how much
God loves her and is aware of her. Our member, Colton, bore super strong
testimony of how much God does love her and how we are His children. She looked
at us and said, "Wow, I really needed to hear this." We set up
another time to see her this upcoming week. She seems really cool; we are super
excited to meet with her again :) </span><span style="font-family: "coming soon";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "coming soon";"><span style="font-size: large;">We had Ward
missionary meeting this week. We just had all our ward missionaries released
and a whole bunch of new ones called. Our bishop is amazing. He is so
missionary minded and wants to help us in any way that he can. We got together
and talked about how we can further the work in our ward and how we can all be
member missionaries. I am so grateful to be able to be in this ward. I love it
here in Chippy.</span></span><span style="font-family: "coming soon"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">We had some major drama this week as well... we were
supposed to go on overnight exchanges with the Powhatan sisters this week, but
we ended up just going to their area for a few hours due to some drama with a
recent convert in the Ward. She called us telling us it'd be the last time we'd
talk to her as she was going to kill herself. She was kicked out of her
house because she stole a big amount of money. The Boswells spent the day with
her trying to help her find a house and calm her down but she ended up running
away from them twice... resulting in us walking around downtown trying to find
her. She threatened to jump off a bridge by the freeway (she posted a
video on Facebook and some members saw it and called the cops). After the
cops searched for her for an hour, they took her to the mental institution
where she has been ever since. Thank goodness she is safe now!! So that was
stressful... but we had a good time in Powhatan! Sister John's and Johnson are
so cute.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">Scripture of the week: Mosiah 2:12- "I say unto
you that as I have been suffered to spend my days in your service, even up to
this time, and have not sought gold nor silver nor any manner of riches of
you". We have been reading Mosiah with a recent convert and this scripture
really stuck out to me. I love how our church is not a paid ministry. We don't
go out seeking for money and doing things because of money. We do it because we
love the Lord and we want to serve Him. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> Let's start off
with the most exciting news... Stefano our investigator is SO AWESOME!!! Let me
tell you about him. He is probably 5'3, with dark brown hair and the funniest
little grin. He is very shy but has opened up so much to us in the past 2
weeks. He has grown so much and has really opened up to the ward as well and
has gained really good friendships. Ryan Morrow, a guy in our ward, has really
been fellowshipping him and has come to about every lesson with him. He has
helped Stefano tremendously. Ryan is the greatest :) Stefano was baptized when
he was little and told us he hasn't really seen a need to be baptized again,
BUT, as we were on exchanges Wednesday night, I was here with Sister Thornley,
we sat down and had a lesson with him. After singing and praying, we asked if
he had any questions. He looked at us and said, "Yeah, I actually do. Tell
me about how baptism is done in your church. I love the activities and church
so far and all the people here. I think I'm leaning towards being baptized."
I was completely shocked and SO DARN HAPPY!! We had a wonderful lesson with him
on baptism and confirmation and how it is all done. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> Well
Thursday we had a super funny law of chastity lesson with him. It is seriously
so funny teaching YSA law of chastity. You never have a dull moment. After
dying of laughter, cracking jokes and ending the lesson, we said our goodbyes
and went on our way. We had dinner with Jessie and Anna, a member in our ward,
at Cafe Rio- #blessed. We got in the car and saw we had a text from Stefano. In
his text he said he wants to be baptized and decided to be baptized on November
12!!!!!! We are so excited and of course screamed a little. We called Ryan to
tell him the good news and he told us he was praying for Stefano a few minutes
before we called asking God to answer his prayers and guide him in the right
direction. It was so amazing!! GOD IS AMAZING!! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> This week
has been a little harder to find and teach people because the first half of the
week was mid-terms (which also means if you talk to anyone, they completely
ignore you) and then starting Thursday, they had fall break. So campus was
pretty much dead. But, God still put people in our path to talk to :) </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> We have
worked with a lot of recent converts and less actives lately. It's so amazing
for me to see the strength and testimony some of the recent converts have. They
are so great. They really have a love for our savior and want to do everything
they can to help build his kingdom and help themselves grow more in his gospel.
Most of these converts are the only members in their family. It must take a lot
for them to go against their families beliefs, but we know this is the restored
gospel here on this earth and the amount of blessings we receive from it is so
wonderful :) </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

after sacrament meeting, we were talking with Jessie. She was telling us how
her baptism date is set in stone and is working towards the 11th of
November. She then looked at us and said, "Sisters, I know I was supposed
to be baptized when y'all were here." It was one of the sweetest things I
have heard. It was a good confirmation that I needed to be here. I sure love
Jessie. We have gotten so close to her. I love her so much. She told her twin
sister and her family this week she was getting baptized and they weren't happy
with her at all. Her twin sister won't talk to her, so it has been a hard week
for her. Definitely keep her in your prayers! </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> I
don't know if I have ever told y'all about the Boswells. They are fairly new
and they are the senior couple in our ward. Holy cow, they are so amazing!!
They will drop anything and everything to help us missionaries out. Elder
Boswell is Hawaiian, Sister Boswell is from Texas and they have lived in Hawaii
for almost there whole married life. They make me so happy. (They told Sister
Fitt and I that we could go stay in their house and use their car if we went to
Hawaii.... once we save up, guess where we are going..... HAWAII) They feed us
all the time and have us invite our investigators. It is fun to be with them
around the dinner table, with super yummy food and to die for homemade apple
and peach pie. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou
shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven." I love how it says what is bound on
earth will be bound in heaven. I am so happy I get to be with my family forever

a fun week! I still can't believe I am still in Chippy. I am so so thankful to
still be in this ward. I love it so much! It was so fun to go to Transfer
meeting and not have a stress or care in the world. We went because we had Sister
Sorensen with us and she was being transferred. It was fun to see Sister Tadd
and Sister Squires right before they left. I can't believe it was already time
for them to go home. I feel like I was just barely with them!! I love them both
so much and I am extremely grateful for the time I was able to spend with them
and to learn so much from them. They were such amazing missionaries. Time sure
is flying. It was really fun, Sister Squires didn't have anything to do before
dinner so she came and spend a few hours with us. I never wanted to take her
back to the mission home, but sadly we had to. It was fun being with her for

job as a high school teacher, so we have been doing lessons and helping her
grade papers. Sometimes we have a good laugh as we go through the answers. It
just made me think of when my teachers were going through my papers they were
probably laughing at me and my answers as well. Haha She is still preparing for

When
we first met him, he was super shy and didn't say much. Now he is cracking
jokes and opening up more to us. He has a lot of free time on his hands, so we
get to meet with him pretty frequently. He has come to pretty much every
activity (FHE and institute) and has even made it to the last 2 hours of church
the last 2 weeks! He works night shift, so he doesn't get much sleep in the
first place. So it's awesome to see him get up and come! Hopefully he will be
able to make it to sacrament meeting soon. The whole ward loves him and has
fellowshipped him so well, which is THE biggest help and is one of the best
things ever for a missionary to see!</span></span><span class="m-388274886322341472apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

has been bringing to church for a while but just introduced us recently. He was
teaching the youth in his church and encouraged his youth to go out and explore
religions to find out if this is really for them. He then realized that he
never did that. He had agreed to meet with us and has been doing very well. He
has made statements when we met with him this week that, "when I get

turned around asking, "Did I hear someone was from Arizona?" He then
explained that he had friends in AZ and he was from Vegas. I told him I lived
in St. George really close to Vegas. He was saying how he went to St. George
all the time and how people in Utah are so nice and tried to talk to him about
Mormonism and "threw a Book of Mormon at me trying to get me to read
it." After talking for a little bit, he asked what we were doing in
Richmond. We told him we were missionaries and he just laughed so hard and
realized that we had to be because we sat there talking about Mormons for a
good solid 5 minutes. He then talked about how much he loved Mormons because
they always had food at every activity.

are obedient, God is going to give us blessings. I see this all the time in

took that to our advantage and just went out and did tons of work! We were able
to have lots of members out with us as well which is always super wonderful. I
love this ward so darn much. Also, Sacrament/Testimony meetings in YSA (Young Single Adult) wards
are the best ever! The spirit is felt so strong. There aren't ever those
awkward pauses because people are lining up to bear testimony. It's really is
so awesome. I am beyond grateful to serve in this ward. I have built so many
strong relationships and have seen so many wonderful miracles.</span></span><span class="m6281300932354237898apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

even more weird to see all the missionaries in jeans. Ha ha. We had President

Smith, us and the APs. President and Sister Smith KILLED us. We blamed it on us
being out as missionaries longer than them and they are fresh and new. But we knew

Malcolm. I can't remember what I have told y'all about him, but pretty much he
is hilarious. He has been meeting with missionaries for over a year and had his
baptismal interview, but because of some issues, he had to wait awhile to get
baptized. We have been meeting with him and continuing to teach him. I talked about
him in my interview with President and he had no knowledge, notes or anything
explaining the situation, so he wants to meet and interview Malcolm and if
things are settled and things are good, he might be able to get baptized
earlier, so that's really cool. We hope all works out. Sad news though, we

a sister training leader is I get to go on Exchanges. I have met and have built
so many relationships with sisters in our mission. I am so grateful for them
and for the things they have been able to teach me. I was able to go on an
exchange with Sister Aime. She is the cutest thing ever. This is her second
transfer on the mission, so she is just about out of training. But holy cow,
she is wonderful. She has such a strong testimony and just wants to help anyone
she can. We were able to teach some lessons and find really cool people. I am

course. We've had so many meetings. Monday for P-day, we drove 45 minutes out
to Powhatan to hang out with some sisters in our zone. One of them was leaving
on medical leave, so we went to give some moral support and had some fun! :)
Tuesday was our only full day to proselyte, but it rained ALL day and we could
hardly do anything. It was so lame because VCU campus is DEAD when it rains.
Wednesday we had MLC, which is always super fun! I love it so much; it's great
to be able to discuss ways to better the mission. Thursday we had interviews
with President Smith, and then went to dinner with him, Sister Smith, and the
zone leaders. Friday we had zone meeting, and also, NOW I’M IN A TRIO!!!! Since
one of the sisters in our zone had to go home, her companion is now our
companion until the end of the transfer. Her name is Sister Sorensen and she's
the cutest thing ever. She's actually a greenie, so we are finishing up her
training as well. So it's been lots of fun! :)</span></span></span></div>

<span class="m3715668773038630456s1" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">We had a super cool miracle this week. Marcus, our recent
convert has been battling trial after trial since he was baptized. His family
is SUUUPER not supportive and a little bit crazy about him joining the church,
so he hasn't been able to come since. But Friday, he came to the institute
building for a lesson, and he was telling us about his life and everything that
has been going on. Sister Sorensen TOTALLY followed the spirit and invited him
to receive a priesthood blessing. We texted the Aps (Assistant to the
President) and they were on their way back to the church but they weren't very
close. But... Not even</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span data-term="goog_750724315" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span style="color: #222222;">two
minutes later</span></span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span class="m3715668773038630456s1" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;">after Marcus agreed to the blessing, the Richmond Branch elders
walked by the room we were in, and then walked off. We literally ran down the
hallway and snagged them to give Marcus a blessing, which ended up being
wonderful and exactly what he needed. The really amazing part was that the
Richmond Elders kept trying to go drop in on a few people while biking, and
THREE different times they tried to cross the bridge and had THREE flat tires.
So after all the flat tires, they decided to come back to the institute
building to reevaluate their night. God had it happen for a reason, so Marcus
could have a priesthood blessing! Especially since we don't get to meet with
him in person as often as we would like as his mother won't really let him.</span></span><span class="m3715668773038630456apple-converted-space" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span class="m3715668773038630456s1"><span style="color: #222222;">Scripture of the week: John 5:3- I went into conference with a
few questions. I was able to receive my answers, some were what I wanted to
hear and others weren't. Conference talked a lot about accepting God’s will. I
have learned a lot about that on my mission and I really know it is so
important to trust and submit our wills to God. God has a plan for each of us;
we just need to trust him. Sometimes it may not be the answer that we wanted,
but in the end, it will all work out for the best.</span></span><span class="m3715668773038630456apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

been meeting with him pretty regularly. He came to family home evening and
institute this week. The ward has been so amazing with fellowshipping our
investigators. When he comes, he has a lot of people coming to him and
introducing themselves. It is so amazing to have them help fellowship our
investigators. It's very helpful and makes gaining friendships so much easier.
He didn't come to church sadly, but we will hopefully be meeting with him soon.
He has a lot of potential; we just don't know how much he is truly grasping
right now.</span></span><span class="m-9113411878157474130apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the greatest. Malcolm has been meeting with missionaries for over a year now. He
had his baptism interview last November and due to some complications, he had
to wait a year to be baptized. He is on date for</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span data-term="goog_1641654669" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span style="color: #222222;">December

to be better. He has received all of the lessons multiple times, so now we are
doing reviews and having him teach us. It's pretty awesome. As we were leaving
the VCU library after his lesson, we walked outside and there was a huge crowd
of people and this guy standing on a box preaching about the Bible and people
cheering and screaming at him. We couldn't help but watch for a second. It was
very interesting to see! This school is very liberal and opinionated; it makes
every day a little more interesting cause you never know what you're going to
get.</span></span><span class="m-9113411878157474130apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

biggest miracle of all is about Jessie!!! She texted us at the beginning of the
week asking us if we could meet with her. Jessie has been very busy because she
was just got a teaching job at a high school. She said she needed to talk to us
and got a member for the lesson and everything. Long story short, she told us
her journey of coming to the Mormon Church and how she was teaching youth
ministry at the time but just kept getting feelings she needed to come here.
She has been coming here for almost 2 years now. (Sorry, I can't remember how
much I have told y'all about her) She even said she wants to raise her kids
Mormon. She was about to finish the story when she looked at us and said,
"Sisters, I'm going to be a Mormon. I have been praying about it and I
even had a dream about it, I'm going to be baptized</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span data-term="goog_1641654670" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;"><span style="color: #222222;">November

This was such a huge miracle. From not wanting to meet with us 5 weeks ago to
saying she wants to be baptized and giving us her own date and everything was
absolutely amazing. I seriously love Jessie to death. We have been able to get
very close to her these last 4 weeks and have such a strong bond with her. I
know I was sent here to Chippenham to meet her. She has such an amazing strong
spirit about her. I have been able to see such a big change in her as well. She
is incredible!! Half the ward already thinks she is a member and the other half
knows her well and freaked out (happy) when they found out she was on date. It
was such a good way to start the second half of the week :)</span></span><span class="m-9113411878157474130apple-converted-space"><span style="color: #222222;"> </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

just have so many memories of when Mom, Mikelle, and I went to the conference
center for the General Young Women’s Conference. That was one of the best
moments of my life and very special to me. I will never forget that day :)) We
watched it at the institute building, the church right next to VCU campus. It
was only going to be broadcasted at the stake center, but Emma Claire wasn't
able to make it on time and we didn't want to drive 30 minutes, so the Elders
were very kind and set up their laptop for us to watch it. </span></span><span style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> We've been on the hunt for some new people to teach, so that's
kept us busy. We are trying to implement all the things we have learned at all
of our meetings into our teachings! Contacting on campus is lots of fun....
when people want to talk to you. Most YSA's are little stinkers and give us
wrong numbers, or completely ignore us but we've met some pretty cool
people. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Perla's boyfriend, is doing so great. He has so many questions, Most of them
are about deep doctrine, but luckily our studies have helped us out. :) Then we
met with him again this week and it was even better! Last Sunday, he had a Book of
Mormon, but hadn't read it. As of Thursday, he'd read up to 1 Nephi 11, watched
the YSA broadcast, and read some other material and came with lots of
questions. We asked him to pray about being baptized<span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span>on<span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-aqj">October 8th</span>, and he agreed. He is
very sincere and truly wants to know for himself if this is what he needs to
do. Perla is awesome and has taught him a lot of stuff already and he has done
studies by himself, so he is very knowledgeable! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

cool thing was with our investigator, Jessie. We had dinner with the senior
missionary couple, the Boswell's, this week. They seriously are so funny. Elder
Boswell is super quiet but every time he opens his mouth, it's something funny
and we always are dying laughing. We invited Jessie to come with us to
the Boswell’s. Luckily, she said yes, and we had a great time. :) We received a
text a few days later, saying she wants to meet<span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span>Thursday at
7<span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span>and
she invited this guy, Benjamin, in our ward to meet with us. So.... She set up
her own lesson! She even made sure a member was present! We aren't complaining
haha!! So that was sweet. Sister Fitt and I were just had to laugh a little
because what investigator does that? If only they all did :) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

have this great investigator, Stefano! He's this guy from the Netherlands and
he's so sweet. He has lots of good, sincere questions so it's been fun to teach
him. He seems to agree with a lot of what we are saying, so hopefully he'll
continue to progress. We have met with him twice and in between lessons, he had
read quite a few chapters of the Book of Mormon and gave us a good summary of
it. He really comprehends what he reads. We taught him the Plan of Salvation
and he really liked it because it answered some of the questions that he has
had for a while. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

exchanges with the Powhatan sisters!! I was able to go back to Powy and holy
cow, I miss that place. I was able to see Sister Foltyn and little Lily,
because she came out with us to some lessons. She seriously is one of the best
member missionaries ever. She will do anything for us missionary's. (Everyone
needs to be like her) <span class="m-4237766211404081619gmail-apple-converted-space"> </span>I also saw
James and Lisa!!! It was almost curfew but I HAD to see them. We pulled up to
their house and ran to their door. Once Lisa opened the door, we just stood
there for a second and then she processed who I was and we just hugged each
other forever. I love Lisa. I feel like she is one of my best friends and I
have known her for so long. I am so so grateful for her and the friendship I
have with her. It was so fun to be in Powhatan again. I wish I could have gone
around and seen some more of my friends in Powhatan, but I didn't have time at
all. We were so busy teaching and finding cool miracles. Hopefully I can go
back soon and see some more. I truly miss that place so much.</span></span></div>

that happened is when Sister Fitt and I were trying to contact some potentials
in the Bon Air area- We were driving near Brusters, the best ice cream place in
the world, so we said, what the heck, it's hot, let’s get ice cream. So we got
out of the car and started walking up, when all of the sudden we hear, "Hi
sisters" and out pops Sister Smith from their car with President! We
talked for a while and they insisted on buying us ice cream. Talk about being
at the right place at the right time :) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Monday, we went shopping with Emma-Claire, a member in the ward. We were going
to a mall near Cafe Rio, so of course we had to go eat there. As we went up to
pay, the lady at the register said that someone had paid for our meal already
and we could just go sit down. We ended up getting out of her who it was that
paid for us and went up to thank him. Come to find out, he's a member of the
church and saw we were missionaries. We were talking and found out that he
lived in Ivins about 2 months ago, probably like 10 minutes away from our
house. He just recently moved to Virginia to get closer to his family. He
recognized the name Brooks as soon as I introduced myself and we got talking
about Great Grandpa. It was so awesome!! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Sadly, I can't remember his name.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #222222;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Thursday
was a day full of meetings but it was so wonderful!! Elder Kopischke from the
Quorum of the Seventy came and did a mission tour. We had zone conference which
started at 9 in the morning. Holy cow, I received so many answers to my
questions and was able to learn so many new things and how I can become a
better missionary. One thing that has really stuck out to me and as I go back
to re-read my notes, he said this phrase, "Just worry about the things you
can control, let God worry about the things you can't." I find myself
worrying about investigators or different things throughout the day. Half the
things I can’t control. But I can control my attitude and what I do. That's all
I need to worry about! We also talked a lot about the Book of Mormon and how we
can better use it in our teaching. He said, "People will be judged on how
they accept the Book of Mormon. We are giving them the chance to learn about
the Book of Mormon. We need to present it well to them." It is our
responsibility to present the Book of Mormon to those around us and present it
well, so they have the chance and the opportunity to accept it. He talked about
so many other things that I would love to share, but this could get way too
long. We then had a MLC. He met with the leadership and gave us some more
council on how we can become better leaders and examples. That night, we had
all the bishops, ward mission leaders, stake presidents and anyone else who was
associated with missionary work come to a meeting. There we talked about how we
as missionary's can better work with the ward and how the ward can work better
with us as missionaries. We ended up leaving around<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj"><span data-term="goog_785701790" style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;"><span style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;">9pm</span></span></span>. To say the least, I was very
spiritually uplifted, learned so many things I could do better on and came out
with a very sore bum.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> :)</span></span></div>

was really cool. When we were done with our meetings<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Sunday morning<span class="apple-converted-space">, we</span> received a text from a member saying
she was bringing her boyfriend to church and he agreed to meet with us. His
name is Christopher. They have been dating for a while and he has been really
hesitant to meet with us but his girlfriend had to meet with the bishop, so he
agreed to meet with us as she had her interview. He is so cool. He grew up
Catholic, but decided he needed to go out and explore other churches to see if
this was for him or not. His girlfriend had been talking to him, had brought
him to church a few times, given him a Book of Mormon and even took him to the
Philly temple open house. We talked to him about the restoration and he had
already seen the restoration video. (It’s on Netflix if you haven't seen it,
it's the greatest. #favoritemovie) He has a lot of good and deep questions, but
there is really good potential in him. We will hopefully be meeting with him
again soon.</span></span></div>

exchanges with Sister Mooney this week. Holy cow she is the cutest thing. She
just came out on her mission two weeks ago. It was total flash back of when I
came out. She is from Panguitch. She went to school at SUU. It seriously is
such a small world. We were able to see many miracles and had quite a few
lessons together. It was fun to think of the progression I have made, not only
in the gospel, but as a person. The mission has changed me in the best and
biggest way I could possibly imagine. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!</span></span></div>

God to translate the Book of Mormon. He was given the power and authority to do
so. I know with all my heart that the Book of Mormon is true. I read it every
morning in my studies and I can't put it down. The stories, lessons and
sacrifice people made are incredible. Read the Book of Mormon if you haven't. I
know it will change your life, because I have seen the change it has made in mine. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Well, to tell you about
Transfers. You will never believe it.. I am with SISTER FITT!!! (I met Sister Fitt on Facebook before I left on the mission and we met in person in the MTC) I couldn't
believe it when President said we were together. I may have cried a little I
was so excited. It seriously is a dream come true. I remember talking to her
before the mission and saying how cool it would be to be companions with each
other. And now look at us,<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_696121022" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">13 months later</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I am with her. :) It has been nothing
but fun with her this last week. We seriously are best friends and I am so so
grateful I get to spend the next 6 weeks (hopefully longer) with her. As we
were leaving transfer meeting last Tuesday, President Smith came up to us in
the car and said out of all the companions that were put together, he feels the
best about us two being together. Not only did we want to be together, but the
Lord definitely knew we would be good together. I am so so excited to work hard
and to continue to find so many miracles. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>About 3 weeks ago, we
talked to this girl named Jessie after church. I thought she was a member, but
come to find out, she isn't. She had been coming to activities and church for
over a year but never felt the need to be baptized. She went to school for
youth ministry and was very involved in her church. We asked her if she wanted
to meet with us and she told us she had met with missionaries before and kindly
rejected. Well last Sunday, she texted Sister Johnsen and I and asked if she
would be able to meet with us. We were able to meet with her on Wednesday. We
had a member come with us and he was SO surprised to see that she wasn't a
member. I'm sure half the ward thinks she is. She flat out told us she wanted
to be a Mormon, but she wasn't sure she really received her answer. She has
some things in her church (priesthood), that if she joined our church, she
would have to give up. She doesn't want to because she has seen many miracles
as she has blessed people and healed them. But, she loves what we teach. She
also started telling us how she doesn't have a job; she doesn't have much
money, can't even have her cat anymore because she can't take care of it and so
on. Our member was perfect. He said he would take her out to dinner after the
lesson and drive her 30 minutes just to see her cat. How kind of him. Later she
texted us and told us she had an interview in Friday for a job at one of the
high schools and then after her interview she would be driving up to Philly to go
through the temple open house. She texted us<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Friday
night<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>saying she got the job!!
And we talked to her yesterday and she said the temple was amazing; she even
bore her testimony in relief society. Hopefully she will be able to recognize
the Holy Ghost telling her the path she needs to take and she won't be scared
to follow it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I love being able to go to meetings and get questions answered and to know how
I can be a better missionary. I feel like Heavenly Father knows exactly what I
need to hear and to help me as a person and especially as a missionary. This
week, we have Elder Kopishcke, a member of the seventy, coming to do a mission
tour. Thursday we will be able to have zone conference and then spend the evening
with him. I am excited to learn more from him. I am extremely lucky to have so
many wonderful opportunities. :) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Scripture
of the week: 1 Nephi 4:1- Sister Fitt and I did a training about faith in our
zone meeting. We based it off a talk called Faith to Reap. It was given at BYU
Idaho, if you haven't read it, you will need to. But in 1 Nephi 3, it's talks
all about how Laman, Lemuel, and Nephi go and get that place. Laman and Lemuel
showed faith as they went on the journey back to Jerusalem, but it quickly left
when they weren't able to retrieve the plates. The first attempt when Laman
went, he had no luck, he got chased out. Second attempt, they decided to go to
their house in Jerusalem and get all their riches and see if Laban would trade
the plates for the gold and silver. Instead, he chased them out and took all
their money. In 1 Nephi 4:1, Nephi is telling his brothers that if God
commanded them to get the plate, he was going to make it happen, <i>God is mightier than all the earth. </i>I
feel like sometimes in life, God commands us to do things and we either, 1.
Don't believe in ourselves or, 2. Don't believe or have enough faith in God. We
need to trust God that he will help us through the commandments that He gives
us. 1 Nephi 3:7 is a good motivation for that. Never stop having the faith in
God and yourself :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

totally blind sided us. When we got out of our lesson<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>on Saturday evening<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>and saw a missed call from the AP's, we
weren't very happy. I sure am going to miss her. I have learned so much from
her and truly love her. Thank goodness she is coming down to Dixie again for
school, so we can hang out all the time. </span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Our investigator Shaquan
is doing so amazing!! We have had some really good lessons with him. He had a
problem with the Word of wisdom, but when we saw him on Saturday, he told us he
had been sober for almost 4 days! He then went to say that he didn't need drugs
to get high, because he never realized or remembered how happy you could be
when you are sober. That definitely is amazing to hear as a missionary. I love
when people receive answers to their prayers and can feel they need a change in
life and then see the blessings that come from the change! Shaquan is still
trying to receive answers about if he needs to be baptized, but we all know he
will get there and receive his answers. Every time we see him, our lessons get
more productive and we can see that he is grasping the principles we teach
more. We probably had the funniest and best law of chastity with him this week
as well and that NEVER happens. That lesson is such an important lesson, but
boy is it extremely awkward sometimes. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Everybody
loves Shaquan. He came to church yesterday and it took us forever just to see
him because so many people were talking to him. I love this ward because they
sure know how to fellowship our investigators and bring them in. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We met this guy named Moin
on campus. This particular day, I feel like we ran into a lot of Muslims.
Muslims have a strong belief that Jesus Christ was a prophet and they are very
firm in that belief and try to convince us sometimes. We were kind of getting
irritated because no one would listen to us. We then ran into Moin. Moin has a
Muslim background, but hasn't been too involved. He is super open to learning
about Christianity. He told us he would meet with us and wanted some of his
questions answered. We had an amazing lesson with him the other night. We had
one of our members come with us (another great thing about this ward is that
most of the people are return missionaries, even the girls!! Moin came with
lots of questions for us and wanted to know a lot about the godhead. We were
able to explain it and help him understand the difference with Christianity and
Muslim faith. We even explained how our message is unique to the world. He
seemed very involved and wanted to learn more and more. He is very intelligent.
It was cool to see how open a Muslim person was and be open to other
faiths. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

amazing and solid people while contacting. Now that school has started, it's a
lot easier to find people, but there are SO many people. We really have to
follow the promptings of the spirit to see who we really need to talk to. It's
cool to see these people make life changes and want to gain a better
relationship with our Savior Jesus Christ. I am so happy to be building my
relationship with Him and our Father in Heaven. I can honestly say I feel so
much happier now because I have developed more of a relationship with Him. I
know I don't understand how much He REALLY does love me, but the love I feel
from Him each and every day is overwhelming!! I know we have a loving Heavenly
Father that loves YOU so much. Don't ever forget that. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

things that happened this week:</u><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-Before
every lesson, we like to sing to bring the spirit in. As we were doing so, Sister
J's voice cracked real loud. The song stopped there. Haha <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-We
were on VCU campus talking to someone and having a lesson and a squirrel fell
out of the tree behind us.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-People's
road rage here is ridiculous. This guy cut someone off and they beeped at him. So
at the stop light, the guy who cut the other guy off put his car in park and
ran over to the other guy’s car and started punching it and yelling at
him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-During
our law of chastity lesson with Shaquan, he randomly looked at us and said
"oops, Sisters I just broke the law of chastity, I looked at a girl."
We then explained it all over again. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Those are just a few things that we thought were funny this week.</span></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Scripture of the week: Doctrine and Covenants 90:24-
"Search diligently, pray always, and be believing, and all things shall
work together for your good, if ye walk uprightly and remember the covenant
wherewith ye have covenanted one with another." I truly know if we read
our scriptures, pray and believe that God will answer us and watch over us,
that things will work out for us. It all starts with the simple and easy
things. I have come to see and realize on my mission, that once someone starts
slacking off on the simple things, saying prayers every day, reading and
attending church each Sunday, that's when life starts getting bumpy for them.
It takes time to sit down and read your scriptures, but you won't regret it at
all. You can receive answers, learn more about the gospel and just show God
that you care. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Wow,
I can't believe it's Monday already. Time is seriously flying by and going so
fast. The weeks are over in a blink of an eye. I can't believe transfer calls
are<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_1831589534" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">this

it's time for the calls already. I hope and pray Sister Johnsen and I get to be
with each other for one more transfer. I am excited to tell you about the
fantastic week I have had. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Last Monday we had Zone p-day. There
is a zoo in our zone and members own it, so we took advantage of that and went
to the zoo. We were able to feed the giraffes and birds. It was seriously one
of the hottest days and we were all dripping wet from sweat by the time we got
in our car. But it seriously was a lot of fun :) We then went back to the
church and had a BBQ. Wow, it was so good, It reminded me of all the holiday
parties we have. Nothing is better than
a nice, grilled hamburger. Haha ! While we were at the church, we played some
sports of course. This zone p-day was a lot of fun and it was fun being with
our zone some more and getting to know them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We met this guy named
Adrian a few weeks back. He was moving in and we stopped him as he was making a
trip back to his truck to get more things. We told him who we were and he was
really interested. We met with him this week and it went so well. We brought a
recent convert named Alex to our lesson and they connected really well. Alex
explained his conversion story and how he needed to quit doing a lot of things
but how it was so worth it. It really helped Adrian put into perspective how
other people are going through challenges like him and how he can overcome
them. Alex was a really great help and really fellowshipped him well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Okay, this story is amazing.
We had a lesson with Shaquan. I can't remember if I have told you about him.
Katherine came with us; she is Alex's girlfriend that introduced him to the
church. We were planning on talking about some of the commandments but the
spirit sure told us otherwise and we talked about God’s love. Shaquan bluntly
asked us, "does God love me? I feel like He doesn't and I don't know how
y'all recognize that He does." It was so sad to see that one of God’s children
didn't even know or feel His love. We then had a SUPER powerful lesson and
talked about how much God loves each and every one of us. During the lesson, Sister
J, Katherine, and I were teary eyed because we could feel the spirit so so
strong and we could truly feel the love that our Heavenly Father had for
Shaquan. Shaquan said such a sincere
prayer at the end and really asked God if He was there, if He loved him, and if
He could tell him why. It was so cool to see how sincere he was and how</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> he
truly wanted to know if God did love him. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

thanking her for bearing such a powerful testimony and helping us bring the
spirit in. She looked at us all seriously and said, "Sisters, I just had a
prompting to go on a mission." We sat there not knowing what to say. We
were so shocked, happy, excited and we were speechless! Finally we all just
broke into tears and cried. Katherine is 24 years old but has always had a
mission in the back of her mind. She went off a really deep path a few years
back and knew it wasn't the time then. We encouraged her to go home and read her
patriarchal blessing. She texted us that night and told us she never really
realized it, but it said right in her patriarchal blessing that she was going
to serve a mission. We are super excited for her and hope she continues on the
path of being a representative of Jesus Christ!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

our ward. He texted us that night and said, "SISTERS!! The temple was RAD!"
It was so awesome to get that text from him and of course we were one happy set
of sister missionaries. They got home late last night and so he didn't wake up
in time for church sadly. We texted him after church to see if we could meet
with him that evening. He told us he is going through some things right now and
wants to take a break to figure things out. It wasn't very fun hearing that. We
don't know what's going on or anything. But he said he will get back with us in
a few days to let us know if he is still interested or not. We have been
praying for him like crazy. Ryan is so prepared and has so much potential, we
just hope he continues to meet with us and wants to learn more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Scripture of the week: Alma 56:56- this is about when the two
thousand stripling warriors surround the Lamanites. This verse describes how
none of them were slain because they had the strength of God. I love when it says,
"yea, and they had fought as if with the strength of God; yea, never were
men known to have fought with such miraculous strength;". I truly know if
we put our trust and our strength in God, we can get through anything. Good
days, bad days, God is right there with us. We can have his strength and use it
to overcome our everyday trials. I know we can have that "miraculous"
strength and not fall when hard times come; just like the stripling warriors
did as they were fighting the Lamanites. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had a really neat experience on Friday, August 19, 2016. We were in Salt Lake and planned on going to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to see if we could see Hermana Rodriguez. She is serving as a sister missionary with 200 other missionaries on Temple Square. (Those who are serving at Temple Square have the opportunity to serve a proselyting mission somewhere else for three months. Herman Rodriguez was called to serve her three months in Virginia Richmond Mission. Sister Brooks and Hermana Rodriguez were not companions but lived in the same apartments and went on splits together. They became very close and loved spending time with each other as much as they could. They made a music video together that was posted a few blogs ago. Hermana Rodriguez has left Virginia and returned to Temple Square for the remainder of her time serving as a missionary.) We were able to find and visit with Hermana Rodriguez and her companion, Sister Chan. It was a treat to meet her and to feel of her spirit. She is a wonderful missionary and so darling! After she returns from the mission, she will be going to UVU in Orem, Utah. We are sure she and Sister Brooks will meet up again!</span></div>

that I am here on a mission. I couldn't think of anything better. I am amazed
how much our Heavenly Father truly does love each of us. He is aware of our
needs. Not only do I see his love for me each and every day, I see it for those
on the street, college students, homeless people and everyone around me. I know
if we turn to Him and pray with questions, concerns or if we need comfort, He
is always there for us and always answers our prayers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Marcus is amazing. I can't
remember if I have told you his story, but I will just in case I haven’t.
Marcus is 24 years old. He went to Indiana
University and met the missionaries in November. He was attending every
activity and church every week and meeting with the missionaries frequently.
Well, he graduated college and moved back home. His family is VERY Baptist. His
mother is a deaconess and doesn't approve or like the Mormons AT ALL. Well, the
bishop from the YSA ward in Indiana contacted our bishop and told Sister Johnsen
and Sister Madsen, to get in contact with Marcus. So they did and started
teaching him again. Marcus has faced many challenges, his father passed away
about a month ago and <span class="apple-converted-space">his</span> mom has
been VERY upset with him. When I came here, he called us one day confirming his
date for baptism and said he wasn't going to back down. His mom was angry and
did everything she could to upset him and not allow him to go to church. He
wasn't allowed to take the car or have anyone pick him up for church or any
other activity. But, her heart is slowly softening and accepting the fact he
wants to do this. She told him she wouldn't ever step foot in our church or
touch the Book of Mormon. We hoped and wished she would soften her heart enough
and come to his baptism, but she didn't, sadly. Marcus had a senior couple that
is serving in Indiana, the Strongs, come to his baptism (it took a lot of
strings to pull that off) and Elder Strong, baptized Marcus! He also had his
friend Emma that was in Indiana and fellowshipped him come as well. It was a
wonderful evening. Emma didn't have a place to stay, so she stayed at the
mission home and the Smiths asked if we would stay with her. Of course we couldn't say no! It is so fun to
be with them and talk with them more! I LOVE PRESIDENT AND SISTER SMITH SO
MUCH!!!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

We were out contacting with a member one night and he decided that we needed to
go down this one street. We were walking down the street and saw a girl sitting
on the bench and she looked SUPER sad. We went up to talk to her and explained
who we were and what we were doing. She looked at us bright big eyes and said,
"Wait, no way? I was just praying and asking God why he hated me. I then
asked him if he could show me if he loved me or not." We testified to her
that God loves her so much and is aware of her. She was in tears. We shared the
“Because He Lives” video and shared Alma 38:5 with her and just explained that
God is always there for her and he will help her through anything. She loved
everything we showed her and read to her. Our member was able to help her out
because he went through similar experiences before he joined the church. She
was very appreciative and knew she needed to look into this religion. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Sadly she was 35 so we couldn't teach
her. We can only teach the young adults
in our area. We told the Richmond branch elders about her and they are going to
continue teaching her. Hopefully everything goes well! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

story, we were visiting a less active and we were really close to the Clover
Hill sisters, one of the sisters we work with. We decided to go leave a note on
their door. We drove up and totally forgot that it was gated off and needed
their little key thingy. But we were determined to get in. We were walking
around pondering and thinking of a solution when a car drove up and started
going through the gates. Once it turned the corner, I saw Sister Johnsen
booking it through the gates. I, of course, had to run through as well, so I
started booking it. We successfully got in the gates and realize.... How the
heck are we going to get out? We leave the note and start walking up to the
gates hoping for a miracle. We had to walk quite a ways to get to the gate and
up a giant hill. We saw a car pull out of the parking spot and heading up the
hill. We knew we had to take advantage of his car leaving. Low and behold, us
two missionaries in skirts/dresses started running up the hill after the car. I
know we looked ridiculous. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We
are about 10 feet away, gasping for air and the gate starts closing.... Oh no.
I BARELY slid through the gates before it closed, realizing that my companion
was on the other side of the gate still. At this point, we couldn’t breathe
because 1- We just ran up this giant hill and 2- we were laughing so hard.
Finally a car drove through and Sister Johnsen was able to get through the
gate. I wished someone had videotaped it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of the week: Mark<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_1178412345" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">8:35</span></span></span>-
it says, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it."
As I was watching the restoration video last night, (if you haven't watched it,
go do it. Best hour you could spend) it really touched me and made me think of
this scripture. Joseph Smith was persecuted, beaten, made fun of, murdered, and
many saints were killed because they never ever backed down or denied the
gospel. How amazing are they? Joseph gave his life for the gospel. Serving our
savior and our Heavenly Father for a year and a half is the least I could do. I
am so grateful for Joseph Smith and the life he lived. I am thankful for
everything he has done for us. For having the question of what church was true
and then acting on it. For having the desire, faith and courage. For never ever giving up. I know he was called
of God. I know Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him and that he
translated the Book of Mormon. I am so grateful for him and for his strength
and courage and for never ever denying this gospel. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Let's talk about Haley. Holy wow. She
was a referral from a member, Sam, and she came to church with her my first<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337033" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>here. She has been friends with Sam for
over 10 years and has been to church with her a few times over the years and
even went to the temple grounds in Utah with Sam. (Sam attends BYU for school)
We set up an appointment with her and they taught her 2 weeks ago while we were
on exchanges. Sister Johnsen said it was an amazing lesson and she was so
excited to be learning. Well, we had another lesson with her<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337034" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span></span>.
And wow, the spirit was crazy strong. We taught her about the Plan of Salvation!
She told us she was so happy to hear this. She was taught some of this at her
church, but she said there were so many holes and this filled them all and
answered her questions. She expressed that she wanted to be baptized and really
wanted to do it with us. The only option for her to be baptized with us before
she went to school, (she attends Virginia tech and leaves<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj"><span data-term="goog_532337035" style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;"><span style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;">August 10</span></span></span>) was Saturday, August 4 or she
could wait and do it when she went to school. She said she would pray about
it..... Story continued. . . . after I tell you about. . . . . . . . <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> Missy!! Wow, she was another huge
miracle! She was also a referral from a member. She came to church last Sunday
and then we met with her on<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337036" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>before we met with Haley. We asked her
how she had the desire to come to church. She said she was on Facebook and saw
Kristin's (girl in our ward) video of her opening her mission call. She said
she loved how happy and excited Kristin was and knew she needed to investigate
in Kirstin's church. Missy attended another church for a long time, but she
knew something was missing. Missy Facebook messaged Lindsey, Kristin's sister, (she
knew Lindsey better because they competed against each other in show choir),
and asked her if she could go to church with them. So that's how that all
started. Anyway, at church, we gave her a restoration pamphlet and invited her
to read it before we met again. When we met<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337037" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span></span>, Missy had read the whole
pamphlet, did the additional study on the back, and took notes on everything
she read and all the scriptures as well. We were so amazed!! During the Restoration
lesson, Missy was getting emotional and loved the message we had to share. We
invited her to be baptized and she said she would pray about it. Side note, Missy
is also going to Virginia tech for school this year and Lindsey is also
attending. We had dinner with a senior missionary couple and they said we could
invite whoever we wanted. We invited Haley and Missy. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Okay, now to bring

Every<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="aqj"><span data-term="goog_532337038" style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;"><span style="cursor: inherit !important; z-index: auto;">Tuesday</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>night<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>is Institute; we usually are there at
the beginning so we can introduce ourselves and get to know more people. Well Missy
showed up with Lindsey, so that was so amazing!! We decided while they were in Institute
class, we would go contact for a little bit and then come back and see how Missy
liked class. Campus was so dead, so we decided to head back a little early and
just make some phone calls. As we were walking back, we received a text message
from Haley saying she received an overwhelming feeling on the way home and just
busted into (happy) tears! She said she knew this church was true and that she
needed and wanted to be baptized<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337039" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">this Saturday</span></span></span>. Of course we were
running down the street screaming because we were so happy. I'm sure the
homeless people were wondering if we were on some type of drugs. We were so
excited and couldn't wait to tell Kristin (who had been with us when we were teaching
Haley) what her text said. They got out
of institute and we were right at the door waiting. We were talking about how
Haley wanted to be baptized and how she received such an amazing answer. The Elders
were already planning on baptizing 3 people<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337040" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>so we were talking about how cool it
would be to baptize 4 people. Next thing we hear is Missy saying, "how
would you feel if you baptized 5 people... I received my answer really clear
and I want to be baptized." We were in complete shock. Like what the heck.
We just had 2 people ask us to get baptized in a span of five minutes!!! Well,
long story short, we called our mission president about it, and because they
are both leaving for Virginia Tech, we thought it would be a good idea to have
them wait until they get to the YSA ward down there so they can make friends
and have fellowshippers there. They should be getting baptized in about 3 weeks
once they get all settled. It seriously was the best day ever!!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Marcus is amazing. He went to Indiana University last year and he met the
missionaries there back in November. He graduated with a music major and then
moved back home with his family and trying to find jobs. Well, he reached out
to the missionaries when he got here. Sister Johnsen has been teaching him for
a little bit. His family is very mad at home and doesn't want him to get
baptized at all. They are being really rude about it, but Marcus knows this is
what he needs to do. He has one of the missionaries that taught him, coming to
his baptism<span class="apple-converted-space"> <span data-term="goog_532337042" style="z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"></span><span class="aqj"><span style="z-index: -1;">on

also one of the senior missionary couples!! We are so excited for him. He knows

how much I love being a missionary. It really is the best calling in the world.
I am so lucky to be here in Virginia. Ahh, I love it. It really is so dang
beautiful! The trees still get me. I am grateful for the time I have to serve
in the Chippenham YSA ward. This ward is amazing. It really is so much fun to
be with people my age and help those learn more about our Savior Jesus Christ
at such a wonderful time in their life. I wouldn't want to be anywhere but
here!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Scripture
of the week: Doctrine and Covenants 3:3- it says, "Remember, remember that
it is not the work of God that is frustrated, but the work of men." <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Sister J showed me this scripture this
week because we had a member come out with us and our appointment didn't show
up. She was giving us a pep talk about how we need to keep our heads up when
this happens. (It doesn't faze us anymore; we just brush it off quick) Sister J
opened up to this scripture and it really is so true. Gods work isn't frustrating;
the gospel is simple and perfect. But working with people and the way they
exercise their agency sometimes can be really annoying and frustrating. God is
great- Moral of the story, people.... Sometimes not haha. Just kidding. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

goodness!!!!! I can't wait to tell y'all about my week. I have way too much to
tell, so hopefully it's not long, but I'll try and make it a little
shorter. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>It has been
probably one of the best weeks on my mission. God is way too good to us and I
am amazed at how many miracles we have been able to see. The Chippenham YSA
(Young Single Adult) area is blessed!!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The joys
of working with YSA are that you get to go to family home evening! We were able
to have a quick spiritual message and then played some crazy weird chair game
that my team dominated in. That was cool! It's also cool when they let you know
Thursday that they want all the missionaries to speak in church, there are 5 of
us total, and you only have to speak for about 4-5 minutes each. Sacrament meeting
was the best yesterday :) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Tuesday night and President and Sister Smith asked us if we would be able to
stay with her. We, of course, totally accepted the offer. We had dinner with
them and then went to a baptism with them. Holy cow, I love them so much.
President Smith is seriously so darn funny and doesn't sugar coat things. We
were laughing the whole time we were in the car. We had a wonderful night with
them and went to bed with a huge thunder/lightning storm.</span></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Holy cow,
Wednesday was amazing!! We didn't have time to plan for our day because we
stayed the night at the Mission home, so we just planned on walking around
campus pretty much all day. Our phone didn't have service at the mission home,
so as we were driving away, we saw that we had a voicemail. Elder and Sister
Moe are the senior couple that works in our ward. They are the cutest ever!!! They
go around and work with inactives and help the ward with their family history.
Anyway, they gave us a referral and told us to contact this girl they ran into,
her name is Kaylee... So she's even cooler. She was moving and going out of
town for a few weeks, so we decided we would try to help her move. We jumped at
the opportunity and went to her house. We were driving down to her house and
the GPS took us down a one way street, my life flashed before my eyes, so we
decided we needed to park and we will walk the rest of the way. As we walked to
her house, we met this guy named Rashawn. Holy miracle!. He has had a really
hard life and just said earlier that day he wanted to learn more and get closer
to God. We talked to him, set him on date and set a return appointment. We know
God wanted us to meet him because if we didn't go down that one way street, we
wouldn't have walked to meet him. God works in mysterious ways haha. Long story
short, Kaylee wasn't home, but her roommate gave us her number. We called her
and she was so excited to hear from us and set an appointment with us for when
she got back! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Right
when we were done talking to Kaylee’s roommate, we checked the phone and we had
about 6 messages from people asking us to meet with them today. THAT NEVER EVER
HAPPENS!!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Tuesday afternoon, we
texted a few members to come out contacting with us, so it was awesome because
we were able to have a member at every single lesson!! We were booked; we
seriously had one lesson right after another! So, for the rest of the day, we
just sat at the church building and people came to us. It was AWESOME!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The
other night we met a guy on campus named Aubrey. We started talking to him and sharing a brief
summary of the restoration and wow it was awful. We were so jumbled up and the
member we had with us just went on some random subject.. Aubrey has a religion
already, but he surprisingly agreed to meet with us again. We met with him the
next day and asked him, why did you meet with us again? He said he felt bad for
us and he made a commitment to meet with us so he was going to stick with it.
So in a roundabout way, he said he felt sorry for us. Anyway, we shared the
restoration with him and as we started sharing the Joseph Smith story and
reciting the first vision, his faced changed, he was so engaged and the spirit
was SO STRONG!! We asked him if he believed that could ever happen and he said
he knew it could. He said he wanted to learn more, be baptized and come to
church. He was out of town this weekend, but should hopefully be coming to FHE tonight.
It was the coolest lesson. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The
mission just got a new projector, so the elders had the idea to get all of our
investigators, less actives and anyone else who wants to come and see “Meet the
Mormons”. We did that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Saturday
night. We had a pretty good turn out and had lots of food and were able to have
some of our investigators learn a little more of what we believe. It was a
really good idea!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I'm sorry this is a mile long, but wow, I could go on about my week. It has truly
been amazing!! We have been able to set 6 people on date this week that are
pretty solid! We have a possible baptism this weekend, #miracle, I'll explain
her story later next week if it happens. We have a definite one next weekend.
His name is Marcus, (story will come next week as well) and a few potential
good people on the 20th. We and the elders have so many people on date right
now and we are just trying to help them learn and grow more and get them
excited to be baptized. Our mission is doing crazy good with baptisms! This
past weekend we had 13 and next weekend we will hopefully have 18. It's
awesome!! The Lord is blessing the VRM!!!!!! (Virginia Richmond Mission)<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

week and I am now serving in the Chippenham YSA ward. Our area is covering 3
stakes of all YSA age students. We mainly do street contacting around VCU
(Virginia Commonwealth University) and have found quite a bit of success this
week. It's a little bit slower because it's summer, but there are still so many
people around campus and this area. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>It
is so much different than a family ward, but it seriously is so fun! We serve
with the AP's, so we are with them a lot. We mostly walk around all day, so if
you combine that with the heat and humidity.... We are drenched within an
hour. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

She is seriously the best!! Funny thing is, I kind of knew her before my
mission. She went to Dixie State University and we played intramurals against
each other a few times. She even knows Chris very well. I seriously love her to
Death. We already have so much fun together and work so well together!! She is
super athletic and loves working out which is awesome because we play ball a
lot. We also live in the same apartment complex as the elders and there is a
little gym here. Since we can't work out with them, we switch off every day on
who wakes up at 5 to work out and who goes to work out at 6. To say the least,
we are pretty tired. But that doesn't stop us! </span></span><br />

Miracles this week. We have been able to see pretty big ones as well. It's so
cool how God truly does bless us. Within 5 minutes of us going out and
contacting, we find one person to share a message with them and they are
interested in learning more. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Here
are a few miracles that have stuck out to me today: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"> We met </span>Shaquan (pronounced
Shay Quan) as we were walking to campus. He was sitting on a bench drinking a
smoothie. We asked him if we could give him our card and then started talking
to him. He had many questions and we read scriptures from the Book of Mormon to
help answer his questions. He was really intrigued with the Book of Mormon so
we explained to him what it was and how it came to be. He said he really wanted
it but he didn't have enough money to pay for it. We told him it was free and
his face lite up. We talked about how Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father
truly do love us and it wasn't a coincidence that we met him. He knew we met
him for a reason. We gave him the Book of Mormon and invited him to read the introduction.
We set up another time to meet with him. A few days past and it was time to
have our return appointment with him. It was sooo hot outside and we didn't
want to meet outside. There is a church building right down the street that we
hang out in, so we decided to have a lesson there, but we couldn't go inside
because if we are with a boy inside, there has to be a third female. Anyway, we
tried so hard to find a female to come with us, but it was the ward temple trip
so EVERYONE was gone. But, the last person we called was able to come!! We had
an amazing lesson with him. It was only a 15 minute lesson because we had to
get to another appointment. He asked us if next time we met, we could meet a
little longer because he loved learning about this and felt something when he
met with us. It was awesome! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Next we met Badaidra,(pronounced
buh-day-dra). Nathaniel, in our ward, brought her to church yesterday. We met
with her afterwards and we were able to share the restoration with her. The
whole time during the first vision she just kept saying "Wow, this is
amazing, I love this!" She was super excited to learn all about our church
and come and experience it. She loved church and wants to come back next week.
We invited her to be baptized and she said yes without hesitation. She set a
date and everything! We will be meeting with her again this week.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">-We
were texting people in our area book and a guy texted us back saying he was

for a few funny stories:</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We were walking around campus one
night and we were talking to some people and next thing we know some lady is
trying to get this drunken guy off campus. She found him passed out on the
library stairs. Sister Johnsen recognized him. His name is Robert and he was
one of the elder’s investigators. Well, he was super drunk and security was
called on him, so this sweet girl was trying to get him off campus so he didn't
get in trouble. Well long story short, we tried to help him and sat with him on
a bench for a while (about an hour). He told us his life story, which was
wayyyyyy too much information. We stole
all his alcohol and threw it away sneakily. He sang us songs and tried running away from
us. After about an hour, he was knocked out and sleeping on the cement. <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>The police and EMTs finally came and
took him to the hospital. It was a very interesting night to say the
least. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Because the mission orders so much
pizza for meetings, the AP's had tons of free Pizza coupons. So on Saturday
they got a few and we walked around a park that is right next to the campus and
fed all the homeless people. There are a lot of homeless people around here. We
had around 12 boxes of pizza and we got wiped clean. They were so happy and
thankful we came around and delivered pizza to them. It was really fun. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

has been another great week in the Aquia area!! I literally should copy and
paste my first paragraph every week because the same thing happens haha. We have some of the best moments and
some of the worst in one week, it's crazy. Missionary work is always keeping me

Aquia. I seriously feel like I just got here. I am cursed; I will break it one
day though and stay in an area for longer than 2 transfers. I never have. One
day!!! Getting the call was heart breaking, but I know I need to be somewhere
else and will meet so many new wonderful people! <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Time to pack the bags again...

<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>We have the funniest and
crazy older guy we are teaching named Brother Joe. He has been meeting with the
missionaries for over 9 months now. He lived in the elder’s area but moved into
ours, so we met him a few weeks ago! Anyway, he called us one night and asked
us to come over so we could pray for one of his friends that just had surgery.
We just got done with an appointment and were right next to his house so we ran
over there. He introduced us to his friend, Lori and, holy cow, she was
golden!! She told us how she was searching for a church and just randomly
showed up to ours during a fast and testimony meeting. She even went up and
bore her testimony!! She said she would love to be a part of our church but she
smokes and drinks tea. We shared with her the message of the restoration and
how our prayers can be answered. We also talked to her about how we can help
her quit smoking. She was so excited. We set a return appointment with her. As
we were leaving the lesson, she turned to us and said, “I know this isn't a
coincidence, I am never at this house and I know God put me here for a reason.”
Well, I wish I could say it ended up to be really good, but we went to see if
we could still meet with her for her return appointment and she ended up
dropping us (saying she doesn't want to meet with us anymore). She read the
Book of Mormon and didn't know how she felt about it. I am pretty sure she ran
into some anti :(<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Smith this week. He wanted us to get together and talk about some of the
rules/things we have done in the past and how we should go about them or if we
should change them. Holy cow, I seriously love President Smith so much. He is
so down to earth and so funny!! He really cares about the work and wants to do
everything he can to bring God’s children closer to Him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and the things she said and questions she asked our investigators were so
amazing and helped them so much. She really is such an amazing missionary and

Alma 38:5: this has been my favorite this week. It just says that if we trust
in God, we will be delivered out of our trails and afflictions. We all need to
trust our Heavenly Father and know that He has a plan for each of us. We just
need to continue to endure our trials and look at the positive of things :)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
