Dear Family,
Before I forget, I got a letter from Amy in
Papillion. She is doing amazing. It makes me so happy to see her
becoming a kingdom builder. She really gets it, ya know? She was sad I
wasn't there but they sang my favorite hymn which made me feel really
good. I will definitely be in touch with her for the rest of my life. It
is so neat to see the Gospel change people. Oh and it makes me feel
good that she didn't forget about me haha
This week I went on
exchanges with my STL. It was awesome haha I love having sister training
leaders. I just feel bad for all the sisters who had me as their STL
and not the sisters that I have! haha The Sister I went with is from
Canada. She is great but I couldn't remember where Dad served his
mission... super embarrassing I know. So if you could let me know that
would be lovely thanks. :) Sky, the girl we took to the womens broadcast
is doing so great! We ahd a lesson with her this week. It is such a
blessing because as I am training Sister Taggart Heavenly Father has
given us opportunities to apply what we have been talking about. Sister
Taggart set Sky for baptism for November 1 :) she was sad she has to
wait so long it was really cute.
I was so determined to get
investigators to watch every session of General Conference with us! We
had everything set up for each session watching with an investigator or a
part member family. I was so excited. I love watching conference as a
missionary! Sky ended up getting really sick this weekend and didn't
come. It was sad BUT she watched at home and she loved it. She said she
can't wait for church next week. I am so happy she heard Elder Bednars
talk. I wish I could show that to everyone and their dog... cause
everyone has a dog here and it is so annoying! Anyway, We also had a
lesson with David this week. He is doing really well. He is pretty rough
on the outside, but has a sweet spirit. You can tell he has had a hard
life but he has a sincere heart and true intent and that is all it
takes. He came and watched two sessions of conference with us. It was so
funny cause after President Monson spoke he turned to us and said, "he
is the man!" really loud in the chapel. It was great. President Monson
really is the man haha what better way for others to gain a testimony of
a living prophet than to hear him speak. David after conference said he
knows there are things he has to give up. I think that is simply
amazing becasue we haven't taught him any comandments. I know the spirit
witness to him adjustments he needed to make in his life to be more in
harmony with God. I hope and pray we all are sensitive enough to the
spirit to know what things we need to adjust. What great blessing it is
to have the gift of the holy ghost!
Sometimes while watching
conference as a missionary I have gotten sad thinking about not watching
with the family like I have done for most of my life, but how amazing
it was to watch with a nonmember. sometimes I think we don't realize how
good we have it until we share it with others... that was super
profound I know ;)
Anyway this week was really good. I loved a
lot of the talks but i really enjoyed Elder Jorg Klebingat's talk. I
loved how he talked about during the hard times we just need to smile
and say, "I understand Lord, this is a time to prove myself." I hope to
make that the theme of the rest of my mission. I know that if we don't
decide to work hard and enjoy the present then we never will in the
future. I know this Gospel is the only way to true happiness. I hope you
all have a wonderful week. I love you a lot. Be good.
Love, Sister Page
PS thanks Tori for you letter... I sure love you. Good luck in play offs.
