Letter from December 2, 2013
~~~~~~ This is an excerpt from President Agustin’s e-mail!
(Each week he tell us who has had baptism... until this week
we've never been on the list, but TODAY WE WERE!!!!!)~~~~~~~~~~
"And this last week was a good start---18 more souls
accepted the 'good news' of the restored gospel. We congratulate Sisters
Kramer/Archibald, McKell/Davidson, Luke, Ethington/Clark; Barlow/Bradford,
Dunham, Dawes/Clark, and Elders
Webb/Anderson, Gerber, Hebdon/Horsman (5), Kunkel, Dalley/Morley (2), and King,
Culter/Yorgenson (2), Orton/Meibos/White (2), and Rentmeister/Jones.”
____ This email is very cool because Luke,
Ethington/Clark <---- Thats my Amanda Clark! Then US!!! Then
King, Cutler and Yorgeson as well as Bradford and Barlow are in my
district-- so we had JUST IN OUR DISTRICT 4 baptisms :)
Before I tell you about the experience, let me tell you about
what y’all are wondering about..... TRANSFERS!!!
WELL, HERE IS THE NEWS !!! Sister Dunham got a call from
President at about 10:30. She has been asked to train another sister and they
are replacing all of the sisters in San Angelo so she will still be my sister
training leader but not my companion! Sister Clark and I didn't get our
assignment until about 12:50 with Elder Holt (AP) called.... We are staying
here in Brownwood for Christmas!! And we get to add a sister to our
companionship! SISTER FIFE!!!! She has been out for about 7 1/2 months and she
is going to be our Senior companion :) So we are still here!!
So, here was our Sunday :) We went to bed at about 1:30 (transfer
party- THAT'S NOT NORMAL/ I HATE TRANSFER PARTIES) We woke up at 6:30... Well,
I did... Sister Dunham never sleeps after she is asked to train-- so poor girl
didn't sleep at all....! We did our normal morning routine, then sped right
over to Jack and Amy's ! They were up ready to go!! Amy said she didn't sleep
at all due to excitement and her house showed it!!! She had painted her house!
ha ha ha :) So we leave for church, we get there, then church starts ---but
JACK AND AMY AREN'T THERE!! SO WE ARE FREAKING OUT!!!! WHAT THE WHAT??? WHERE
IS AMY!!!! Turns out she forgot her whities so they had to go back to get them!!
NEXT AWESOME THING!!! THEY BROUGHT AMY'S EX-HUSBAND TO CHURCH
AND TO THE BAPTISM SO BROWNWOOD NOW HAS A NEW INVESTIGATOR :) So we do
our Sunday thing, then right after church IT'S TIME FOR A BAPTISM!!!
Amy goes and changes. I gave a talk about baptism and Sister
Clark about the Holy Ghost. Then she went and got in the water with Brother
Ferrer..... Well............ First she doesn't like water....
The first time her hand didn't go under.
Second time Bro Ferrer didn't raise his arm to the square And
the third was the GOLDEN TIME :) HA HA HA !!!
SO AMY IN NOW A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER
DAY SAINTS!!!!! Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week has been a great week!!! ha ha ha
5 letters from Nessa
1 letter from Britt
and a PACKAGE FROM MY GREAT FAMILY!!!
It was so fun to open it!! We hung the tree right away, and I
must really love what I am doing because the pictures didn't even make me
homesick! I love looking at them and having a reminder about everyone, but
"when your engulfed in the work you don't have time to be homesick".
That's were I am at, and I didn't think I would get to this point!
Then when I opened the gifts I was just soooo exited!!! I was
soooo worried you wouldn't understand what I was saying, but those visuals are
THE BEST MEGGIE!!!!! I AM SOOOOOOO PLEASED!!
Another great thing was we are now teaching a black lady! Her
name is Mary and she has a daughter named Zoey! She is just like Amy and Jack--
just ready to accept everything we give to her!! We taught the Plan of Salvation
(so she was the first one I used my visuals for!) And she LOVED LOVED LOVED
IT!!! When we got to spirit world and spirit prison she was not to sure about
that because she thought if you don't get it here or you don't accept
"sucks to be you"! But then we talked about it and we told her to pray
about it and she said, "Oh, I don't need to, I already know it's true! My
heart is at peace and I just love that :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AHHHHHHHH
A 3 MONTHS OF HARD WORK AND THE LORD CONTINUES TO BLESS
US!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH!!!
Also for Thanksgiving- holidays aren't holidays
1. If they aren't in Utah (because there isn't snow
and some days are not cold)
2. Without the Dawes/ Morley family :)
Thanksgiving we went to the Reynolds-- the only family in
the ward --so we ate with them!! We had fried turkey and everything else. I
just want to point out I AM THAT FAMILY’s FAVORITE MISSIONARY
BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS ASK ME TO DO MY FIONA VOICE AND THIS
WEEK I TAUGHT THEM THE ANIMAL IMPERSINATIONS. It would be awesome if
someone would send me an email with all the rest of the animals because I can't
remember them, but I need more of a variety :)
Anyway, family and friends, the church it true.. the book is blue..
and Jesus is a Mormon! Remember the reason for the season!
and WHY IS TODAY A
GREAT DAY?!?!?!?
BECAUSE I AM A MISSIONARY!!
~~~~~needles to say!! I love what I am doing :)
Have a great week everyone!!
Love y’all so much!!!
Sister Clark is supposed to send pictures :)
And mom maybe Diana got pictures because, well there are
two options.... either 1. Nater is apostate....(and he isn't) or 2. A
member must have sent them....
Other than that, I have no idea how that could have happened
:) I don't talk to that elder :)
