Hey guys! I know that this seems strange (Ruth by the way) but Lani mentions that she sent a pic. I'll TRY to post it but not promises. Here's her letter!
Hola!
Did
you get my picture!? I hope you did because I was so excited when
Sister Peterson sent it to me. We have been helping a family move this
last week and they ran out of boxes, SO we trecked over to the gas
station, noticed all of the boxes were in the garbage and so what do you
do?? You DUMPSTER DIVE!!....in a skirt. It's all for the work! She took
the picture and put it on facebook. On Sunday it was announced in
Relief Society...we are hoping this will help the members get more
excited about missionary work and want to use us more....it's all apart
of the plan. ;)
We helped move the Weekly family. There are nine children in this
family, the youngest, Thomas is Joseph's age. He is crazy! The father
died just under two years ago. I am so humbled whenever I see there
family. I see my own family, but without dad. That would be beyond hard.
Sister Weekly got up on Sunday and talked about how you have to take
advantage of every moment you have with your family because you never
know when it is time. I was never really good at this, and I am sorry to
say that. It has taken a mission to really open my eyes to that. I love
you all! and don't do what I did. Every moment is precious!
Exciting news!! Mark Rossell is getting baptized on June 8th!!
It was so interesting. We were over at his house last week. He was
bearing his testimony to us about the power of the priesthood, but he
said that he still doesn't have a testimony of Joseph Smith. WE GOT HIM!
We opened up to Matt. 7:15-20, "by their fruits ye shall know them." We
looked at him and said, "if you have a testimony of the priesthood, you
have a testimony of Joseph Smith." His eyes widened and he said,
"Really!..........great. Can I get baptized tomorrow." Haha, right. Just
kidding. We talked to him about the 8th and he was good. We are going
to see his family tonight. No worries mom, now that I have something
important happening, I will get my camera fixed! ;) Love you!
This week was Zone Conference in Souix City, Iowa. We crossed
the border of Nebraska to Iowa 7 times this week. Crazy! Sister Jasper
is the Sister Trainer Leader, so she was in charge of training the 3
zones that were there (lots of missionaries). President and Sister
Weston were there too. Anyway, she planned what she wanted to say and
about 5 mins before she got up to train, she looked at me and said...I
want you to come with me and train. She quickly told me what she was
thinking about talking about and then said, "Ok, let's go!" AHHH!! I
just about peed my pants...I was sweating up a storm too! We got up
there and she started things out, then she looked at me to continue...I
paused, desperately trying to listen to the spirit (I am sure I looked
constipated)...THEN something came to mind it went great!! Great
conference. The work is hastening big time. I don't know if you all and
feel it, but it is go time!
Also, we had a Hurricane the other night. A lot of the sisters
had to stay the night in their bathrooms for protection. Sister Jasper
and I slept through it. Oops. But the Lord protected us!
Now I know why she was in the dumpster. :)
