Hey, it sounds
like you all have been having so much fun!!! I wish I could be there, but then again I wish instead you could
be here and you could meet all the amazing people I am teaching and who I love! I wish you could meet Mark, he is our recent
convert, he is just glowing! He is so
happy all the time! He reminds me of a big version of Michael! He took us and
Andy, Anna and Braden all out to lunch
today, I wish I had gotten a picture of us all so I could send it home to show
you! I really love me mission, I have been trying really hard to focus only on
the good things and not let anything or anyone effect my mood in a negative
way. Sister Onorato has a countdown, she leaves 3 weeks from today, and she
tells me every day. It's been really weird serving my while mission with
companions who are just about to leave. But
I can see a huge difference between my first companion and my second, Sister
Harrison didn’t want to go, she did everything she could NOT to focus on it and
instead just serve, that’s the kind of missionary I want to be. It gets so hot
here!! It has been in the 100*s and it’s only going to get hotter from here!!
yikes!!
I love you all!
I am
looking forward to transfers and a change, it’s been a rough 2 transfers
together, I will most likely be staying here in the area because she is leaving
for home. Everyone is predicting that I will be training next transfer, I hear
it is one of the hardest and most rewarding things you do as a missionary, so
that would be a fun change. I feel like it’s so true, every companion and
person and place we are put in, is to help us grow and make changes in our
lives, so we can repent and become better. I think the harder you have to work
as a companionship, the more you learn, because the Lord wants us to make hard
changes and until we are put into the refiner’s fire we may not be willing to
make those changes on our own. I pray that by the end of my mission the Lord
will have formed me into something far more beautiful than I could have ever
imagined before. 
These past 2 weeks have
been the most amazing ones of my mission, we found 6 new investigators,
we taught over 30 lessons these two weeks, and over the past 2 days we had an
amazing spiritual experience with Sergio, the young boy who is now set for a
baptism date on June 27th!! next Saturday, we are prying he feels he is ready
by then! We had a lesson on the restoration and he actually started crying, the
spirit was so strong, even though we were sitting outside with a whole bunch of
drunken people walking around us. He said that we always make him happy when we
come over but he had never felt that amazing and happy as he did that night, He
even came to church with us yesterday! We also had an amazing experience with a
lady named Nancy; she was a referral we got from the referral system. She was
baptized in November and went less active when she moved, then she moved here
and someone sent in her information. We went over to her house and knocked on
her door and she looked so surprised to see us, then she got a huge smile on
her face! As we talked with her she said we could come back next week and get
to know her more, but I felt like we needed to invite her to church, so I asked
if she would come this Sunday and she said "they told me there was no Mormon
church here!!! they lied! Of course I will go, how far is it? I don’t have a
car" so apparently someone had told her that we didn’t have a building in
Kingman. We arranged a ride and she sat with me at church for all 3 hours. It
was a huge miracle, she said that the timing was so amazing, and she felt so
welcomed and loved in our ward, everyone came up and said hi to her.. She
stopped going to church in her last ward she moved to because she was a new
convert and her first Sunday in the ward no one said anything to her, and she
had no idea where to go. She is the sweetest in the world, she started smoking
again since her baptism so we gotta work on that ;) but I am so excited! It’s
been a week full of blessings!!
Enjoy the rainy days! I
loved our little rainstorm we had, it made me feel like I had a little piece of
home with me!!
Love your favorite
sister missionary!
