<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hello Family,<span style="mso-tab-count: 8;"> </span>August 4, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This really seems unreal to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I am going to be completely honest, I don't feel
like I'm going to be seeing you on Wednesday, that is just so crazy to me!
I've been a missionary for so long, that I just feel like I am going to be a
missionary forever. But, it slowly has been starting to hit me as the
week goes on, and I have a feeling that it will hit big time at transfer
meeting tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So lets see. I got to spend some time in Laguna Beach
this week, and that was great. I got a blessing from Bishop Galland, who said
that we need to call him when we come to California and this is what he said,
"maybe I could fly you over to Catalina in my helicopter and get a buffalo
burger there, or we can go out on my boat." haha. It made me laugh,
cause it is just so Bishop Galland. But he said he can only take 3 in his
helicopter, so how does a boat ride sound? haha. I don't know all that you have
planned for our trip next week, but quite a few people want to see me, and do
things with me, and feed us dinner, so we will see what we end up doing! haha
:) it will be fun though!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So, Tuesday was good, Ronnie is so funny, she would
only focus when we were taking pictures, and she wouldn't listen when we tried
to share a message, so that was rough, but that is Ronnie, she makes me laugh that’s
for sure though.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Lets see what else... This week was such a blur.
Everyday I would get home and just be like, how is time going so fast? And
I still don't have an answer for that one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Thursday we had our Sister’s Conference. We
had some fun classes about how to look more professional, how to stay healthy
on a mission and things like that. We also had President Orgill talk with
us about some of his mission experiences and what we can do to show our
commitment to God. That part, when we were all sitting there listening to
him reminded me a lot of girl’s camp. And then, well we all slept at the
mission home, so that was an adventure. haha, but fun. And
interesting, well, what do you expect when you put 50 sister missionaries
together? But it was a fun time, and I am glad that I was able to go!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Lets see, Friday we started to get everything ready
(planning wise) for next transfer. Sister Chua and Sister Lin are going
to be going full time Yale Ward, so we need to get everything ready for the new
Oak Creek sisters. And pack and clean,
so it has been a crazy few days!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Yesterday was so... unreal, so many times,
especially during Yale's sacrament meeting I just wished that I could pause
time and live in that moment forever. They invited me to come up and bear
my testimony (which I would have done anyway), but I feel so much love from the
Yale Ward, I am so grateful that I have had the opportunity to serve in that
ward, even though I don't understand their language, the spirit and the love
that you feel there is so strong! There are also 2 elders that are
leaving that both served in that ward, and one is our Assistant to the President
right now, and during my testimony I made it through, but then Elder Hui (who
was my Zone Leader when I was in Irvine), got up, and I just cried.
Oh man, it was rough. That was I think the moment when things really
started to hit. Then later at dinner I was just soaking it all in! And
I just prayed and was like, "Heavenly Father, I wish my mission never had
to end." But I know it does.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I've loved my mission. I've loved every part of it.
I am so grateful for everything that I've experienced. For everything that I’ve
been through. For the people I've met and grown to love. For the
testimony that I've been able to build. I am so grateful to have a testimony,
to have the gospel. It really is so amazing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I love being a missionary, so of course it is a
bittersweet feeling now as I am ending, because there has been so much I've
experienced, and I don’t know what my life would be like without my mission, I
am so grateful that I chose to come. Sweet feelings come as I think about
being with you all again, and just seeing you and spending time with you.
So I am excited. Excited for the next part of my life, and excited for all that
God has in store for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I know this email was a lot shorter than most, but I
will end with my testimony. I know that God loves us. I know that
He knows us individually. I know that He answers our prayers. I know that He is
in the details of our lives. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. I
know that His atonement is real, I've seen it at work every single day as a
missionary, in my life and in the life of those around me. I know that
the Book of Mormon is true, it does bring us closer to God. I know that our family
will be together forever. I know that we can find true happiness as we live the
gospel! I love this gospel!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
everything about it. These past 18 months have been the very best!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

want to write a whole lot about my week, just cause I feel so tired today,
happy but tired. This week really was good, so I will just share a few
highlights.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday I had my
'exit interview' with President Orgill, where I told him about the plans that I
have for school, work, family and of course how to stay active and strong in
the church. And then he shared with me an experience he had, about the
correct role of the priesthood in the home and in the church. Which he said
could also be called "how to be happy." It was really great. I
am so grateful that I've been able to serve around him, and to feel the Spirit
that he and Sister Orgill have brought into our mission, it has been
remarkable, and I am so grateful for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Wednesday we had 24's
again, and Sister Lin and I stayed in our area, and Sister Nicholson came with
us. And we saw so many miracles that day. We taught a lady named
Elva, who is one of our Investigators in the Chinese ward! And then we
saw a recent convert. One really amazing miracle actually started the
night before. I had felt like we needed to go see this part member family,
where the wife is active and the husband, we've only taught him once because he
is so busy. But we had a pretty full schedule so we put them as a back
up. But I felt very strongly that we needed to go over and see her, so we
did! And we were an answer to her unspoken prayers, she was so stressed about
this test that she has coming up, and just with life in general. She was
so grateful that we came and were able to uplift her in some way, so that was a
miracle! :) God really is aware of each of us, He does know us
personally, but sometimes He does work through other people to help us even
more. I am so grateful that I was able to experience that, as I have seen
many times as a missionary, to feel and know that God does love each of us,
that He is aware of every single one of us, and that His ultimate purpose is
for us to be happy, and He will help us be happy, if we are willing to listen
to Him, and do what He has asked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been good as well...we've been getting a lot of referrals for the Yale Ward,
and so that makes our lives exciting! :) There is so much potential in Yale,
and things are really starting to get going, there will be many miracles and
many people brought into the church because of that ward! They will be a huge
blessing to the church! I'm so grateful for the opportunity I've had to spend
time in that ward, and see those miracles. As for my Chinese...not really
great at all. I can say a few things, and I'm getting a little better at
picking out some of the words I know, but they all talk so fast, so it is really
hard to understand! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

beginning of this week, I set a goal to be more focused on Christ throughout
the week, and that has just been so great. We are members of His church.
This is His gospel that we get to share with the world. And it is so amazing.
Everything we have is because of Jesus Christ, He is our perfect example, and
I've just felt that as I focus on Him, now and in the future, that we can find
more joy and more happiness in our lives. If we are trying to learn about
Him, we will become more like Him, and as we do that, we will be happy.
That is the purpose of life, to be happy! And we can do that as we focus
on Christ. :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

have a Sister’s Conference on Thursday, so I am looking forward to that! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

was a pretty good one, and I'm glad that things are going well! Be sure to have
fun in St. George this weekend! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

good. I love being a missionary!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

actually, a lot of people seemed to be gone this week, so we had a lot of
stop-by’s where no one was home, for hours on end, which reminded me a lot of
San Clemente when I first got there. But there was a big difference from
then to now, then, I dreaded the days when no one was home, cause the time
seemed to go by so slowly, and it was just so disappointing for no one to be
home. But this week, I was just happy, and so excited to go out and work,
to be doing the things that I've grown to love, and sure, no one was home ,but
we still saw many miracles throughout the week, and that always makes things
great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week I had my
last Zone Training Meeting, and it was a really good one. I think all the
missionaries are excited about again focusing on the basics of missionary work
and seeing miracles happen as they do that! I know that I'm excited for that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week has been a
slow one like I said, at least in Oak Creek. Good things are happening in
the Yale Ward though! We got 2 new investigators, but I have no idea how
to spell or say their names, so sometimes that makes things confusing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, that’s ok. :) I'm glad that the
work is progressing in the Yale Ward! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">We got to go on
splits with some of the young women in the Oak Creek Ward this week, and that
was great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are so fun, and I think
it's great that they want to come out with us and see what it is like to be a
missionary! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week I've been
thinking a lot about my mission. There are days where I feel like I'll be
a missionary forever, and I'm quite ok with that feeling. But then there
are other days where it hits me that my mission is ending. This week has
been harder for some reason, with other missionaries bringing it up, like on
Saturday we were having our missionary correlation meeting with our new ward
mission leader in the Yale Ward, and one of the elders was like, this is Sister
Burningham, she goes home in 2 weeks. And I was like, way to throw me
under the bus. So that is hard. But on the other end, my end, I'm
working hard, we go out everyday and try our hardest to find people to teach,
and to help those we have already found progress in the gospel. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So I've been thinking
a lot about missionary work, and life and well, I've really tried, and am
trying to everyday just enjoy every moment, I’m trying to soak it all in.
And I guess that would be my advice to any brand new missionaries, or
missionaries that have been missionaries for a while, it doesn't really matter,
but just enjoy every single day. Enjoy every moment, because you only get
it once. And I think that is true with life as well, just enjoy every
moment and soak it all in, cause we only get to live once (at least here on
earth). But how much better would the world be if everyone was looking
for the good, and trying to enjoy every moment that they had? I think it
would be pretty great. But unfortunately, I don’t think we can get
everyone in the world to agree, but I think it starts small, with us. :) So
enjoy every moment!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was asked to speak in church yesterday, so I got to give a talk in Oak
Creek. And that was great. My topic was the talk given by President
Boyd K. Packer from the last conference about how we can be protected
spiritually in the world today! I was thinking about my own experiences
with that, and I am so grateful for you mom and dad, for the parents that you
are and how you really have helped me gain that spiritual foundation that I'll
need to be protected against the things of this world! :) What a blessing!
:) So I was grateful for the opportunity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people,
and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in
the kingdom of my Father!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into
the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many
souls unto me!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">

our joy as we do our part in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How great shall be our joy!! I've tasted of
that joy time and time again, daily as I've been a missionary! And I know
that it is true, what the scripture says...As we labor and do our part, our joy
will be great, regardless of how many people come into the church because of
us! So that is what stuck out to me yesterday, the joy that comes as we
share the gospel! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about my week this week, but know that I love this gospel. I am so
grateful to be a representative of Jesus Christ right now, and that I get to go
out and share with the people in California that there is a God, and He is
their Father, and He loves them. That Jesus Christ is our Savior, and
because of Him, we are never alone, we are never lost, we can always have a way
back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that is the message that we
get to go out and share!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I love it!

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week was a
really, really good one. I feel so calm and so...just ready for
everything that is in store for me in the coming days! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In regards to missionary work, we are still
working hard, and still trying to find solid investigators, but we did get a
lot of referrals from the Yale Ward, so hopefully we will be finding some more
people to teach, and to baptize! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Lets see... On
Wednesday I was on an exchange with Sister Carlson and Sister Chua.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And just because of how Sister Carlson was
feeling, we ended up going to the mission home so Sister Carlson could talk to
Sister Orgill, and Sister Chua and I watched the extended (new) version of
Jonny Lingo, so that was exciting, and super odd to be watching a movie.
But it really was good. (Happy birthday kenna!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

really figure out what I was feeling, excited and anxious yes, and tired and
just I don't even know, it was a really weird week in that regard. But
Thursday started and after that, things were really good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Thursday we had MLC
(Mission Leadership Council) and it was so good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We talked a lot about just going back to the
basics and helping the missionaries KNOW the basics, cause when they know the
basics, the work will improve even more! :) So that was really great, and
it was just an uplifting day. But as always, at the end, they have all
the departing missionaries bear their testimonies. And since December
I've watched as missionaries I've grown to love share their testimonies, and I
always would think, "no, that will never happen to me." Well it
did, and it was so odd. I was the last of the sisters to share my
testimony, and I started by saying how if someone had told me 2 years ago that
I would be nearly done with my mission, I really would have laughed and thought
they were joking. But I would not take back any day since that
moment. I've changed so much as a missionary. This is a gospel of
change. We can change everyday. We can choose at any moment to be
better, to be different. And oh how glorious that is! I shared how as we
turn to the Savior, we are changed, because it is because of Him that change is
possible, and I am so grateful for that! :) Then we sang God Be With You
Till We Meet Again. And I was fine, until the 3rd verse and I caught Sister
Orgill's eye, and she was crying, and so I started crying. But it was a
great moment, and I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to have it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

our Cruze back on Thursday! I've been in a rental car since April, and it
was so good to have our actual car back! :) So I am so grateful for that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

nights were super different, but super fun and exciting. The Nashville
Tribute Band came and had a concert. It was a great missionary
opportunity and so many members and nonmembers came and heard the music that
testifies of the restoration and our Savior. It was fun, and at the very
end they invited all the missionaries to come up and sing with them, and it was
a great experience that I will always remember! :) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And fairly unique for a missionary, but hey,
it was still a great time! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

companion study, I walked into our kitchen and got me some cheerios, and then
walked back to our table. But on my way back to the table, I'm still not really
sure what happened, but one second I was walking and the next moment I was
watching as my bowl of milk and cheerios spiraled to the ground. And then
I hit the ground. And then I started laughing my head off, and all 3 of
us were laughing as we cleaned up the mess. It really made for an
exciting moment! It was really funny though. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

exchange with Sister Ashton and Sister Hedrick, and that went well, but we were
all really tired. But we found a less active in our window, and then dropped
a Book of Mormon off to a member’s friend...and then we went to Laguna Niguel
because CATHERINE WAS BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was the highlight of my
week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptism, she was just so ready, and it made me feel so happy to see this woman
that I've grown to love, to be accepting the gospel and coming closer to the
Savior. :) It was a miracle, and one of those moments that I'll
always remember.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Christensen afterwards, and she was like, these next few weeks are just like
the cherry on top. (Not that I like cherries but, you know what I mean),
haha. But they really have been so far, and I just feel so grateful to be
a missionary and these next few weeks really will just be the perfect finish!
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

except I was having all those mixed up feelings again, and trying to figure out
all that I was feeling. In the afternoon Sister Chua received her
Patriarchal Blessing, and that just made me realize how much God loves each of
us and knows us all so personally! He really is in the details of our
lives! :) And we got a new investigator, but she is Chinese, and I have
no idea how to say her name, let alone spell it! But her daughter is a
member, and so is her husband, so lots of potential there!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

last night, and I feel a great sense of peace. I've done all that I was
supposed to up to this point, and I will continue to do that until the end.
One thing that was mentioned was that I would help investigators and members,
but especially other missionaries right now. And then I got here this
morning and my email from President Orgill talked about how a lot of my focus
should be on my companions and getting them ready to go out and do the work
when I'm gone. So it was just really interesting how that all fit
together, and I am looking forward to the many miracles that will happen in the
coming weeks. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

talking a lot about coming home, ok well not a lot, but a bit. It has
been on my mind a lot, just because I want to do all that I can and all that I'm
supposed to before my time as a fulltime missionary ends. On Friday
night, at the concert, when we were all up onstage the band sang "The
Hardest Thing I've Ever Loved To Do" and I cried a little, and after President
Orgill said, "Sister Burningham, I saw you got a little emotional up
there." I said yes. And he said, "well why don't you just stay
forever?" And I said that I wished I could. But I know that
that isn't part of the plan that God has for me. But until I do come
home, I'll be working hard, and enjoying every moment. We'll keeping
finding, teaching baptizing and building the kingdom of God. For this is
His work, and we are just privileged to be a part of it. :) And what a
blessing that is! I love this gospel, I love that we have a Savior, Jesus
Christ, who always knows how we feel, and that we can turn to Him in all things
and He will give us all that we need. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

last week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sounds like it was a fun
busy day, just like it normally is! :) So that is marvelous! I'm glad it
was good day, and that everyone is happy and doing well!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

little different, as most are when there is a holiday, those weeks always seem
to be our slowest weeks, but it was still a good one. We had quite a few
opportunities to give service, and well, the rest...I'm trying to remember
what all we did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

did help the elders teach English class (we have a free class for Chinese
people to come and learn English!) So that was pretty fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

council, to talk about how we can help our mission and the sisters in our
mission. I talked to President Orgill after, just because I had some
concerns about going home, and I just wanted to be able to focus and work hard
for the last few weeks of my mission, and I was able to get a blessing from
him. I am so grateful that he is my mission president, he really has
changed my life, and I am so grateful not only for him, but also for the
priesthood, what a miracle and blessing it is that we have it on the earth
today! As a missionary I've really developed a greater appreciation for
it and a deep love for it as well! :) And Wednesday was one of those
days! :) So that was a great part of my week! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

great district meeting, that really just pumped me up. Or maybe it's just
cause I'm nearly finished that I'm all fired up and ready to go teach and
baptize the world! But we taught Mike right after district meeting, and I
invited him to be baptized (which for a good part of my mission that always
made me nervous, cause I would say, “what are they going to think or say?”)
But, that is our purpose as missionaries, to invite others to come unto
Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ
and his atonement, repentance, BAPTISM, receiving the Holy Ghost and enduring
to the end. So I was like, “ok gonna just invite everyone to be baptized.”
So we did. And he said no, cause he "was already
baptized." So we'll be talking about the priesthood soon to help him
understand why it is so important (his salvation!!) So that was kinda
sad, but I left knowing that I was and am doing what I am supposed to as a
missionary, but I can't control the agency of others, which is hard, cause I
know how much the gospel will bless the lives of those I come in contact with
everyday! But, its ok, I'm still inviting, and always giving the option!

good. I did wake up homesick, and I was like... man, today will be
long... but then I got up, got ready, and went out! We went to Woodbridge
2nd Ward’s breakfast in the morning! And it wasn't the same as ours at home,
but it did feel familiar, being with people who I've been able to grow close
with. So it was fun to see everyone, and a lot of people were like
"you're almost done aren’t you?" They remember well, but I
mean, I was in their ward a year ago, so it was awhile ago. But it was
fun to talk to them! :) I also got to see Trinity and Mackey! They are doing
well, and it was good to see them there! The Woodbridge community in
Irvine has a mini parade where kids can ride bikes or scooters and parents and
kids can walk. So we walked in the parade with one of the families from my
old ward. It was really fun! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Sister Pan (cause she is Chinese and didn't celebrate the 4th). And that
I think went well. It was in Chinese, and I was so tired that I almost fell
asleep! (AHH) But then we went to our mission conference after, and that
was so great! We took pictures, had food, played “minute to win it” games
(which... when you are wear a suit or a skirt make things just more funny).
So that was fun, and a good way to get everyone involved. And then we got
to see a slideshow of pictures of all the baptisms that have happened in the
past year! So that was really great to see! Then, as a mission we watched
Son of God. I'm still not sure how I feel about that movie. It was
weird to see Hollywood’s take on the Savior’s life. But it did help
me think more about what our Savior did for each of us, and I am so, so, so
grateful for His sacrifice that makes everything possible!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to Laguna, but not with Sister Hurst, I went with her companion Sister
Harrison, and it was so fun. We had the greatest time on Saturday!
We were able to talk a lot, and talk to a lot of people! It was super,
super great! Also, in Laguna, they have these Trolleys that go from one
side of town to the other (since in the summer traffic and parking are
TERRIBLE). So we decided to try it out and we were able to talk to a lot
of people! :) So that was great! I also got to see a few families in the
ward. I really don't know what it is about Laguna, but I just feel such a
strong pull to be there. I haven't felt this way about any other area, I’m
just grateful that I got to spend the longest time in that ward! It is a
special place, and I'll probably go back one more time, one more exchange there
before this transfer is through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

but also a little bit weird. I've been thinking a lot this week, just
about the things I've learned as a missionary (I feel like I talk about this
every week, but everyday I realize more and more that I learned). But one
thing that I was thinking about yesterday, and I actually shared my testimony
about it, is how much one person can make a difference. The little things
really can turn into big things, just as we are ourselves and as we turn to the
Savior. I mentioned also the Savior, and how He was just one person, but
because of what He did, He changed not only the world, but eternity. And
true, we may not have that big of an impact, but everything we do can make an
impact on someone. As a missionary, no effort is wasted. Everything
is worth it. We can touch lives as we live the gospel, and as we strive to
follow the Savior’s example. And that is something that is a big part of
my mission. My mission has not been easy. And Sister Orgill said
something to me at the mission Conference that was just perfect. Some of
the elders and sisters were singing a song in another language, and it was so
great, but Sister Orgill just leaned over and whispered to me, "I am sure
that there are days that you just want your mission to be over, because it is
so hard. But then there are other moments like this, where you never want
it to end." And it is so true. Because there are so many hard days,
and sometimes I have wanted my mission to be done, cause real life seemed so
much easier than what I felt like was happening to me. But then, those
moments, where you are just filled with the Spirit, because of the things that
are happening, the things that you are learning, you don't want it to end.
So she really did describe it perfectly. :) I love being a missionary. I
love that there is so much that I get to do, so many people I get to meet, and
that I get to share the message of our savior Jesus Christ every single day! :)
I love it so much! It is the best thing. I love it :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hello Family!!! :)<span style="mso-tab-count: 8;"> </span>June
30, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">It sounds like your week was pretty great! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And learning to play tennis? That sounds
fun! :) haha. Every week we have an activity with the Yale ward and
we play badminton, and I am so terrible at that as well. There is a
reason that I do not play sports, but that’s ok we still have a good time! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So this week was A MILLION TIMES BETTER than the
past week. We weren't sick anymore (thank goodness) and we talked to a
lot of people, and saw a lot of miracles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Monday night was great. We stopped by this
referral, but they weren't interested, and so I asked them for a referral, and
they referred us to their neighbor, and she is really sweet, hopefully we will
be able to go over and share a message with her this week! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday was transfers! So that was exciting.
But also really, really crazy. So many missionaries that I know really
well went home last week, including Sister Kimball. It was really weird
to see them go. And even weirder to think that that will be me in such a
short amount of time. There was this one elder who goes home the same
time I do that was like, "are you trunky yet?" I don't know if
I'd be considered trunky... I'm too focused still, but I am tired, but we still
go out and work hard cause there are things to do, but like I said last week in
my email, I am excited to come home, but I'm also excited for the remaining
days that I have left! :) So that is super great! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was pretty funny, and weird, and I
just decided that elders are pretty weird, especially when they are about to go
home. anyway, that's my story about me being trunky apparently. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Sister Lin is so great. She is from Taiwan (is
that how you spell that?) Anyway, she is super quiet, but she is a
powerful teacher!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far our trio is
great! We've been spending time in both the Chinese and the English ward.
As our main purpose this transfer is to get Sister Lin and Sister Chua ready to
handle the Chinese ward on their own!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
that is exciting! And they will probably be taken out of Oak creek as
well, but we'll see in a few weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So anyway, like I said, this week was pretty good! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got to see a lot of members this week, and
we got to do service for Diana again, and she is just so great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And there are a lot of miracles and potentials
that happen every single day! We were able to talk to a lot of people
this week, and well, honestly right now my whole week is kind of a blur,
but I just know that it was a really great week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Oh, I just remembered, we also had Zone Conference
this week. And that was so great! They talked a lot about lifting
the faith and how we can listen better to the Spirit. And President
Orgill talked a little again about how we can invite the forces of light into
our lives, and continue to do the things that God would have us be doing!
:) So that was great, and it was a really powerful spiritual day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was lovely! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Lets see, oh, on Saturday there was a baptism in
the Woodbridge 2nd ward of a man that the elders have been working with for
about 2 years! So that was great! And then, about 30 minutes before that,
the elders called us and told us that the lady that was supposed to speak had
just had mouth surgery, and so she needed someone to read her talk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So at Ruben’s baptism, I read her talk!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fun, and a little weird to be reading
someone else’s words, but it turned out well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And the baptism was so great! :) So that was Saturday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Sunday was great! So, first, our zone had a
goal of talking to 6000 people in the month of June, and on Friday they told us
where we were at, and I can't remember the number, but we asked roughly how
many each companion needed during the week to reach the goal of 6000.
They were like, "well 105, but for you sisters, 275 (cause we contact like
crazy)." And at that point we were at about 60 and we were like, “challenge
accepted.” And we did it. We ended up talking to 316 people, and it
was so great! Even though most of those people rejected us. There
is something powerful that happens as you open your mouth and share what we
hold so dear. The spirit is great, and it is so fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And last night as we were walking around, it
hit me, again, that I won’t get to do that forever, exactly the way that we do
it now, but that just made me more anxious to talk to as many people as we
can! And so that is what we will do! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This morning we got to start our day off early with
some service. The young women have girl’s camp this week and their theme
is "The Amazing Race," and so their first part of their
"race" was at our stake center, and they had to count the pictures of
Christ, and so our job was to help direct them in anyway so that they could get
to the next "leg" of the race. It was super fun, and just as we
were being there, I was just thinking about my experiences at girl’s camp.
Those weeks were some of the best of my life, and some of the most
spiritual moments that I've had. I am so grateful for the opportunities
that I've had in my life to have those experiences, and the ones that I've had
as a missionary that strengthen my testimony every single day! They are so
great! :) Also, I got to see Trinity, I'm so glad that she is able
to go to girl’s camp, I'm sure her testimony will be strengthened even more as
she enjoys this week, and I bet it will help her get one step closer to being
baptized!! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Anyway, so that was my week, I know not a whole lot
of detail about people, but just know that good things are happening, and there
are a lot of potentials that I am excited to work with! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week should be good. I will say
that the 4th of July was and will be the hardest holiday for me as a
missionary, just because of all the things that we do as a family! But,
we will be having a big mission conference that will be most of the day to
celebrate our mission being a year old! So that is good! And I am looking
forward to that! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> So it should be a great week!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So today, I'm just tired, but happy and well and
good! The gospel is true! It truly brings us the most joy that we could ever
experience! I love it! :) And I love being a missionary! I hope you have
a great week!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

kitchen looks normal again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is
great news! :) Haha, glad that things are going well for you all as
well!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me, this week was so bizarre.
So weird. And it was hard. And I was sick! So that didn’t help
any. So lets see....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

got to do service, and we talked to a lot of people, and we were both happy and
all was great.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

I don’t know what happened to me, but I woke up and I just felt overwhelmed and
upset and sad and all sorts of emotions and in companion study I broke down,
and Sister Chua just told me that everything was going to be all right.
:) And it was. Sister Hurst called me, and I broke down again (I think it
was a little bit of me freaking out about how I don't have much time left as a
missionary), so we ended up doing exchanges and so that is why I went to
Laguna Beach. Don't get me wrong, I love Irvine, but I needed to see the
ocean, I needed something different, so I was feeling pretty selfish. So that
is why we did the exchange. It was good to be back again, good to be
remembered and just feel loved by those who I care so much about. So we did see
Ronnie, and randomly there were some goats by her house, and that is why you
got videos and pictures from Ronnie of me feeding goats. You're right
mom, never a dull moment as a missionary, that is for sure!! Also, super
awkward, but when we went to see Ronnie, there were some youth at the park by
her house, and one of the young women came running over and gave me a hug, and
then, a guy who got baptized last summer, I think, came running up to us as
well and was like "my turn." I stuck out my hand and was like
"no way, can't hug me, not gonna happen." But he ignored me and
hugged me and Sister Hurst. Awkward. He was also wearing a
swimsuit, so no shirt. Super awkward. Then we fed goats. Life
is crazy and weird as a missionary, but it sure makes for good stories ;)
haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

better. We had district meeting, and then we got to teach Mike.
Mike is so great! He was a former, but he wants to meet with us again, we still
aren’t sure how much potential he has to being baptized yet, but we will
be seeing him every Thursday. Then we went to choir, late, and I just
decided, well I'd actually been thinking about it for a little while now, but I’m
not going to do choir my last transfer, I just want to go out and be a normal
missionary (as normal as you can be haha...) and find, teach, baptize and
see many miracles. So we went there, then after dinner I felt so awful.
We went home and we texted the elders
and I got a blessing. And I've been trying to figure out why I've been
sick. Cause I keep getting sick. And I feel like God has wanted me
to rest, but also, one thing that was said in the blessing was, "take time
to reflect on the things that you've learned on your mission." And
so, I've been able to do that, since being sick is SUPER boring as a
missionary!! But I'll get to that, and my thoughts on that in a minute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and our choir was recording our songs to make a CD, which took ALL DAY.
Super long. And I only made it through 2 songs and then I sat out the
rest of the time, and I was like, "why am I even here today??"
Still don’t know the answer to that one, but that was Friday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

We went to the new trainers meeting (cause Sister Chua and I are both co-training,
finishing training Sister Lin, the other Chinese sister, to get them ready to
be in the Yale ward by themselves next transfer). So that meeting was
GREAT!!!!! I just felt the spirit so strongly and it was just a great
meeting. Then, we did a mini exchange, and Sister Larson came with me to
San Clemente cause Ed got baptized! :) So that was great. What
wasn't great was that traffic on the freeways was AWFUL and we walked in during
the musical number, literally minutes before Ed was baptized. Crazy, but
at least we got to see that. :) Then the rest of the day was a
blur...and I was frustrated and sick and tired, but eventually we did get home
and got transfer calls, and both Sister Chua and I are staying, but we will be
going to transfer meeting tomorrow cause we'll be getting sister Lin :)
So that will be great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

miracle. I love the sacrament. I love being companions with sister
Chua. I love the experiences that God lets us experience while we are
here on earth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

baptized. It was a very powerful and spiritual baptism. She has
just changed so much from when we met her 2 months ago, and that really is
one thing that I've learned as a missionary, that the gospel changes people.
It has changed me, and it changed Lynda. So that was one of the sweet
experiences that I was able to see this week, and what a blessing that was.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

an interesting one. My emotions have been all over the place and I really
have no idea why. But since I've been sick I've been able to think a lot
about the things I've learned and the things I've experienced. And I'm not
going to share all of them with you today, cause there are still things to
learn, and still time to have even more experiences! But I think one of
the greatest things that I've learned this week especially is that God is in
the details of our lives. He has a plan for each of us, and we do not
know what that plan is all the time, but as we trust Him, he does lead us
along. And I guess going along with that I've learned that this is God's
work, He is the master of the harvest, He wants even more badly than we do for
His children to return to Him. Some take more time than others, and
others are ready to be baptized right away. I feel so blessed to be
serving as a missionary, and to take part in this great work! It really is so
amazing, I love it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And you are right
dad, sometimes we are laying the foundation for future missionaries, and
that is a miracle just as much as a baptism is. I love this work, I love
sharing the gospel everyday, and I plan to continue to share it always. I
love the gospel, and I just love life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

conversation this week with Sister Putnam, it was on Friday, when I was feeling
really crummy at choir and so was she. Her current companion is about to
go home (like 2 days) and she was just like, "Sister Burningham, it
is OK to be excited about going home, just keep working hard, and doing your
best everyday." That is what the Lord wants, that is what He asks,
to do our very best. So I won’t lie and tell you that I'm not excited
about coming home in a few weeks. But, what I am more excited for right
now is too just live in the now, to work hard, to talk to everyone that I can,
just like I have been for the past well, long time. haha. But I am
just gonna go out and work, and love the people and love God, because that
is really all I can do. Miracles come, blessings come, and we just keep
doing what is right, and we will see God's hand in our lives. :) And that
is a great miracle!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hey Family,<span style="mso-tab-count: 9;"> </span>June 16, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Sounds like you've had a fun week, especially as
you've been in DC, mom and dad, so that is pretty great! :) Glad this
week was good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our week was kinda crazy,
but fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday started early with a district temple trip,
and then district meeting, then choir and choir photos (we are making/recording
a CD this week, so that should be fun!) Lets see, then we were late to
dinner cause of choir, and I think we just went contacting after that, I really
can't remember.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Wednesday we did something called 24’s. So
half our mission met for what was like a mini transfer meeting. We
already knew who was staying and who was going. I stayed in my area, and
Sis Chua went to another area. Basically what 24’s are is a big exchange
with a ton of people going on exchanges, so that was really fun! I was
with Sister Flora and Sister Lin. Sister Lin is the other Chinese sister and
she and Sister Chua will be companions for most of their missions in the Yale
Ward! :) So that is cool! And it was fun to get to know both of
them! There were many tender mercies that we saw that day (like people
being home that normally weren't), so that was great! We also had dinner at
this restaurant called Boiling Point, where it is all soup, and the soup cooks
as you eat it. Super different, and I have NO clue what I ate...I love Chinese
food, always full of surprises, but that was fun!!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Thursday we all met back up and had a mini
testimony meeting of the miracles we had all seen on our exchanges, so that was
great! And then it was just nice to be back in our normal
companionships. That afternoon we got to go and do some service for a less
active in our ward, and help her organize her house!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was fun, and really made us think in
a way that we aren't really used to as missionaries! But that was
fun! Thursday night we also got blessings from our Bishop in the Oak
Creek Ward!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that was great!
And really uplifting! One thing that really stuck out to me in my
blessing was this, "Let the Lord do the heavy lifting, put one foot in
front of the other and open your mouth." And as I do that then we
will find those that are prepared to hear the gospel! :) So that was a
great blessing! And we were both very, very pumped about life and what we
can do in this area!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Friday was weekly planning, and we planned for this
week, and that was great, we also taught Sister Pan, she is doing well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is great! She hasn't been to
church yet, but we are working on that one! Friday night we also stopped
by a former investigator and he was really happy to see us, telling us that he
had been thinking about us that morning, wondering when we would come back to
see him again. Miracle!!! :) He also set up his own return appointment,
so that is great! We'll get to see him this Thursday, so that is
marvelous!! :) Also, this is just one way that God really is aware
of each of us. We were about to go visit a less active, and Sister Chua
got really, really bad loud hiccups. And they were making both of us
laugh! Finally we calmed down enough to pray, and then as I was praying,
she hiccupped again, making me laugh, but I kept trying to pray, and prayed
that her hiccups would stop. When we were done praying, we looked at each
other, and her hiccups were gone! It was really funny, but also just
shows that God is aware of EVERYTHING that we go through. Now, I know
that sometimes I get frustrated with answers or solutions not coming as quickly
as that, but answers do come, because God is our Father and He wants us to have
the answers and the things that we ask for, as it is in line with His will for
us. But anyway, God does answer our prayers!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So Saturday, I woke up with a massive headache, and
not feeling too great. I tried hard in personal study to read from the
Book of Mormon and study for our day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But I just couldn't handle it, so I told Sister Chua, “I'm gonna go
sleep.” She said “ok,” and then I ended up sleeping for 2 hours. And
then eating some food, and sleeping a little bit more. By this time I
discovered that Sister Chua also did not feel well at all. But we had a
lesson with Sister Pan, so we went to that, but we both felt so
terrible, and I was just praying the whole time that God would help
us. And He did. Then we had a District Blitz, all of our district
went to an area, and went to a few different areas to contact to help
find new investigators!!! Sister Chua and I ended up teaching the restoration
to a group of about 7 people, but they were at the park as a youth activity for
their church, but it was still really cool to see. After that we went
home and slept some more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Yesterday was Father’s Day, and that was great.
But we both still felt so miserable. We went to Oak Creek sacrament, and
after one of the elders was like, "you sisters look like you are gonna die."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well we felt that way too. But we were
determined to go to Yale's sacrament meeting too, so we headed over there,
where the elders in that ward told us the same thing, and asked if we wanted
blessings. We agreed. And both of our blessings were so similar (at
least, that is what Sister Chua said, I couldn't understand hers cause they
said it in Chinese). But basically, it said, “God knows that you are
being diligent, and that you are working hard, but today He needs you to rest.”
And I was like, “umm no, I have 7 weeks left, I can rest in 7 weeks,” but God
had some other plans for us. So we went home and spent the day
inside. So that was fun. haha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But I did go through my stuff and de-junk a bit, so that was nice!
haha. Also, Lynda was supposed to get baptized yesterday, but she got
sick, not really sure what happened, I just know she had to go to the ER
(yikes!) So she's in our prayers, and her baptism has been postponed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was yesterday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So today, we feel a little better, but we'll just be
taking it easy, and I think I'll go take a nap after we go shopping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that will be great! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week has been
great! And it is so funny cause there have been some pretty sad points, but
we'll get to that!!!! :) This week was good, I realized a lot of things about
myself and about God, and the plan that He has for each of us!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This all started on
Tuesday as I was on an exchange in the Woodbridge 2nd ward (I just wanted to
visit almost all my old wards this transfer ;) haha, but weird how that worked
out).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anyway, I was with Sister Simms
and Sister Larson, and they are just super great! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But as I was studying in personal study, the
Spirit was like "Sister Burningham, you need to do the 40 day fast again,"
and I'm like, “ya, I was planning on doing it my last transfer which is in 3
weeks, so ya, I'm good.” And it was like "nope you need to do it
now, and these are the things that you need to do/fast from." It was
great. So I’m doing the 40 day fast again, and already we are seeing the
blessings!!!! So my exchange was good, and that was great! :) And
then Wednesday.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Oh Wednesday. It
was a good day, we had Zone Training Meeting, and I gave a training on giving
quality church tours!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was fun!
And then later we met with Carl, who dropped us :( He is still gonna read the
Book of Mormon, but he doesn’t think it is true (but I think he does, I think
he is just too afraid to pray and ask God). But during our lesson I
boldly testified and told Carl that this Church was true, that the Book of Mormon
is the word of God and that he could know that too if he just asked. It
was a really powerful lesson, and both Sister Chua and I came out of it happy
but also sad. Happy because we know the Gospel is true. God is
real, this is His true church, we know that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And just because Carl dropped us doesn't change the fact that we know
that it is true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we were sad.
A few months ago, I might have been sad with the mentality of, "ah man, no
more investigator, how are we gonna keep our lesson goal high... what are we
going to do?" But on Wednesday I felt a different kind of heart break.
I felt the love that God has for Carl, and it broke my heart that at this
moment in time he is denying the blessings of salvation. and that made me
so sad. And it gave me a greater desire to go and find more people, so
that more and more will have the opportunity, to hear about the gospel sooner
than later and to choose to follow God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Life is hard.
The gospel is easy. Though it seems hard at first. But as we turn to God,
as we are obedient to his commandments, the blessings that we receive are FAR
greater than any of the small things that we can experience now if we are semi
obedient or not at all. We are God's children.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He does love us. And because of that He
lets us choose for ourselves what we will do with our lives. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which is great, but also a challenge. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am so grateful for the gospel, for the peace
it brings into my life, there is no better feeling than the one I get
each Sunday as I partake of the sacrament. I am made clean, I am made
whole and I am given strength. Why wouldn't you want that? I don’t
have an answer to that question, so I'll keep sharing my testimony, boldly and
without shame that the only way to find happiness is to follow Jesus Christ and
live as He has asked us to. :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">But, blessings come
after hard moments. Thursday we were able to teach a man named Gar, he's
been taught for awhile, but because he travels he hasn’t been baptized yet (but
he teaches primary already, this man is elect). So we taught him, and
hopefully by the end of this week he will have a baptism date!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So, last Sunday our
zone fasted for every companionship to set a baptism date with one of their
investigators. We thought it was going to be Gar, but it wasn't.
Our Chinese investigator Sister Pan now has a date for the 28th of
June!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was a miracle. I don’t
know all the details of the story cause I was on another exchange when that
happened!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But miracles!! Miracles happen
every single day. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">That is one thing I
really learned this week. I learned a lot about miracles. Everyday
I pray, and I ask Heavenly Father to help us. Help us find. Help us
teach. Help us baptize so that more of our brothers and sisters can return
home. Help us activate, help us retain. Help us serve. Help us help the
ward. Help us in all things. I ask, what more can I do, what more can I
give, cause I don’t have a lot of time, I don't, but I want to do all that I
can before I leave. So these have been the words that are in my heart all
day long as I go through out my week, and this week I found an answer. I
was reading in Ether, and in Ether 12:16 it says "... Even all who wrought
miracles wrought them by faith." Faith. I needed to have
greater faith in God. And in His promises, and I also needed to realize
and continue to recognize the small miracles as well as the big ones.
Miracles happen every single day. That is a fact of life, because when we
are obedient the Lord immediately blesses us. Always has and always will.
Some of those blessings or miracles are the changes in ourselves, we
ourselves are miracles! The sacrament is a miracle. Being a
missionary is a miracle, Sister Pan accepting baptism is a miracle.
Talking to Sister Hurst at choir is a miracle. Having a full dinner calendar is
a miracle. Feeling the spirit as you go out and teach, testify and just
talk to people is a miracle. Being dropped is a miracle, when there are
two potentials sitting at the table next to you wondering what you are teaching
about. Life is a miracle!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I know that life
isn't always easy, but I do know that as we put our trust in God, as we turn
ourselves over to Him, and say, ok, what do you want me to do? And then do it
willingly, then we will see the miracles that enter into our lives. I
know that is true, because I've seen it, and I look forward to seeing it
everyday for the next week, and then the next and then the next until my life
on earth is over, and then I hope to see even more miracles after that!
So, I love miracles, and I hope you look for the miracles in your life
this week as you go about your day-to-day lives! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

has been better than the first two this transfer. I don’t know why this
transfer has been so hard for me, I don't remember it being this hard when I
got transferred to Laguna, but I do have good news, that I am adjusting, and I
feel normal again!!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

week! Tuesday was a tender mercy from God!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so great to be in Laguna. I got to
see so many people!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so
great! One miracle that I know was probably a big reason of why I went to
Laguna on Tuesday was Catherine. She's been really struggling with some
personal things, and we stopped by her little store in Laguna, and I was just
able to talk to her and share with her things that have helped me in the
past. It is so interesting, cause there have been moments in my mission
where I have wondered if the experiences I have been through actually will help
me or someone else. But Tuesday was a great testimony to me that I am
here for a purpose, and it wasn't just with Catherine, but it happened again
and again throughout my exchange with Sister Hurst. We also saw Brian and
Kristy, in the course of that conversation Kristy talked about how there are
some missionaries that really struggle being in certain areas, wondering why
they are there, and sometimes leave feeling like they really didn't do
much. Or that, “oh I only helped this one person, that isn't much at
all.” And as she was talking, everything she was saying were thoughts
that I'd been having the past week, and so I just started bawling, and Sister
Hurst was like, "Yup, Sister Burningham needed to hear that."
And it was just so interesting, cause I hadn't said anything, Kristy had just
started talking. It was a miracle. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lynda while I was in Laguna, and that was great! It was crazy though, to
see the change in her from just 2 weeks! The gospel really does change us,
emotionally, physically and spiritually!! So that is good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is scheduled to get baptized this
weekend, so hopefully I will have pictures next week of that!!! :) So
that is really great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gospel is so
amazing when we let it into our lives! :) And that also goes for Michelle
who we were able to teach, she has been reading the Book of Mormon, and it is
changing her! So cool!! :) I love the little miracles I get to see everyday as
a missionary!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

back to normal with Sister Chua! :) And that was great! It was a blessing
to go back to Laguna Beach for a day, but I knew things were looking good when
it felt almost normal to be back in Irvine with Sis. Chua! :) We get
along great, and she is just so wonderful! On Wed we taught our
investigator named Carl. We taught him the plan of salvation, and with
almost every part of it he wanted biblical proof. At one point I just
looked at him and said "Carl, I don’t know everything, I don’t know where
to find everything in the Bible or even the Book of Mormon, but I know that it
is true, God does have a plan for us, and that is what I know." When
people want proof, we really can't give them all that they want, because we
don't have it all yet. But we can testify. Because I do know that
God has a plan for me, that it started before I came here, and it will continue
after this life! I know that. I don’t know what it will be like, I
don't know what color I'll be in heaven, I just know that God's plan is
perfect. Carl still wanted more scripture verses, which we promised we
would look up for him, but even in the past few weeks, his heart has been
softening (how can it not if he is reading the Book of Mormon?!?!? It is true,
and it will change your life if you read it!) So even though his progress is
slow, he is an honest seeker of truth, and I'll be honest, I prayed about
dropping him as an investigator, cause sometimes I am just like “ahhh that
question really doesn’t matter right now....” but I know that he is a child of
God, and God still wants us to meet with him and talk to him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So we will!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And we'll just keep testifying!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Mission Leadership Council!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that was
great! One thing that really stuck out to me was when the first counselor in
our mission presidency, President Ellis talked about how we need to keep
lifting the faith. He shared a story about a man who was once asked,
“what is the purpose of life?” This man, answering the question told of a
story when he was young and had found a small broken mirror, which he played
with and made a game of reflecting light into dark places. He talked
about how as he got older, he realized that if he tried, he could reflect light
into the hearts of those who had darkened hearts. And that that was the
purpose of life. Pres. Ellis had a small mirror, and then turned off the
lights, but on the projector was a picture of Christ, which, when Pres. Ellis
held the mirror up to the projector, the image of Christ was reflected onto the
Ceiling. We have the blessed opportunity of reflecting Christ's light to
a world where there is so much darkness. I've been thinking about this
the past few days, and realizing that it is some of the little things that we
do that can really reflect so much light, smiling at someone, waving,
talking to someone, helping someone that needs a hand, sending someone an
uplifting text, or writing a note to someone. In these simple things we
are sharing the light. We are not the source of the light, we can only
reflect it! But as we do, others will want to come to know Christ, because they
know us! So, this week, reflect the Light, Christ's Light :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

day for me, I am not really sure why, but I really have just been feeling like
I have been being attacked by Satan, which can only mean one thing, that good
things are about to come! Which I really feel like they are! But I
got a blessing and I've been feeling a lot better since then!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Saturday we had a
great meeting as a zone and yesterday we had a fast that we can all set a
baptism date this week for one of our investigators! Which is super exciting
and that pumped me up! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Yesterday was
great! Both testimony meetings were great, I even shared mine in Oak
Creek, and things are looking bright there! So that is great news, we have a
ward FHE tonight and we will be focusing on getting to know more of the ward
members! So that should be great! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

from Pres. Orgill's facebook, the Yale Branch became a ward! So that is
so great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was such a great spirit
in the chapel as the members shared their testimonies about how they felt
about God and this new change! :) So many didn't think that they would
ever become a ward, so it was really a miraculous moment! And sister Chua
leaned over to me and said, "now we are going to baptize." haha, so
that is our goal, to baptize. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

come by here in California, but when they do happen, when we are able to see
someone progress from the time we begin teaching them to the time that they are
in white and making a sacred covenant with God is so wonderful! They
truly are some of the sweetest moments I've experienced on my mission. I know
that the field is white, ready to harvest, but one thing that I learned, that
is actually a quote from Pres. Hinckley which is my favorite right now says,
"Do your best, your very, very best, work hard and say your prayers and
leave the harvest to the Lord." Because this is His work, His
children, and we are His instruments!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What a blessing, and now I'll just go out and work hard!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

one more thing about Sister Chua, I love her so much! She is such an
example to me, and I'm supposed to be her trainer. But she is a convert
of just over 2 years. Yet her testimony burns deep into your heart. She
is so amazing, and I am so grateful that I get to serve with her!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

they are bright and well, my Chinese, not so great. haha. But we'll keep
working on that one ;) I feel so blessed to be a missionary, for the things
that it has already taught me and the things that I will continue to learn as
my mission (and my life) goes on. Such a blessing!!! :) I love it so
much! And well, I'll be the first to say that my mission is the hardest
thing I've ever done in my life, but it also probably the best :) I love it,
every minute!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

yesterday! I hope it was a good one! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

past week was CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY!!! To add to the craziness I'm on an exchange
in Laguna today with Sister Hurst. Fun right? But I'll get to that
in a minute!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

see...I've been adventurous this week. Monday night we went to a
lady's house in our ward and she did acupuncture on us, so that was exciting...We
discovered that it did nothing to me...that apparently means that my body is
all balanced, so that is a good thing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday lets see...I
had a Sister Training Leader Council, and we talked about Spiritual gifts, and
how we all have different gifts of the Spirit, and the ways that we can help
all the sisters in our mission recognize that they all have something to
contribute to the work! :) So that was really great! Then, for dinner we
ate at a member of the Chinese Branch, and guess what, I had duck! And it
was delicious! :) haha, but I'm still trying to get used to real Chinese
food, cause it is just different than what we are used to. But the
members are so great in the branch (which may be turning into a ward this Sunday,
so that is really exciting!) But they are great, and they just love that
they have sisters now, so that is a big blessing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Wednesday was a CRAZY
day. So we woke up, studied, helped Sister Staley pack (she had to go
home cause of being really sick, but hopefully she will be back in a few
weeks!!) Then we went to In and Out with Sister Conner and her companion,
since Sister Conner had promised Sister Chua and Sis Staley that she would take
them there. :) So then we went to language study so Sis Chua can
get better at her Chinese, at the same time Sis Staley had an interview with
Pres. Orgill who told me that he wanted me to go on an exchange with Sis
Hedrick that night. So that was exciting, and then Sis Conner came with
me on the exchange, so we had to run and drop her comp off with some other
sisters, and then see a less active before taking Sis Staley to the airport,
then driving to Laguna Niguel to get Sis Hedrick and drop off Sis Chua.
So that was Wednesday. It was really exciting! haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Thursday we went with
another sister who was going home to the airport, to send her off, and then we
rushed to choir. Where I didn't end up singing, Sis Hurst was there, and
I just kinda had a mini break down, just with all the sudden changes, I was
like...ahhhh why is this all happening right now!!?!?! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I cried, and talked and felt a whole lot
better after that! And then Sis Chua and I taught our investigator Carl,
and that went well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is making
progress, it is slow, but it is still progress!!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Friday was GOOD!
A good day. We got to go contacting and teach lessons, and I just really felt the
Spirit. And as I was studying in personal study I read "and we talk
of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ and we prophesy of Christ
and we write according to our prophecies that our children may know to what
source they may look for a remission of their sins" 2 Nephi 25:26.
And I just remembered that truly everything that we do and everything that we
believe is centered on JESUS CHRIST! He is everything, and He makes
everything possible!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I am so
grateful for Him and for His sacrifice! One of my favorite quotes is,
"if everyone truly understood the atonement, they would never be unhappy,"
and I think that is true. And it was another one of those things that
just hit me, cause I was still feeling like things were rough (life is
rough...silly me) but, if I turn to the Savior and live righteously I
will find happiness! :) So that was a good part about Friday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Saturday we had
interviews with Pres. Orgill, and that was just fabulous. I realized why these
past few weeks have been so hard. One, because change is hard, and I am
not always a fan of it. And two, because I just came from a ward who
LOVES their missionaries, to a ward who barely started letting their missionaries
come to ward council. It really has been a shock to the system. But
I know why I am here, I know that I am supposed to be with Sister Chua and that
as Pres. Orgill called it, I'm here to help the "Thaw" of the Oak
Creek Ward. And don't get me wrong, the members are great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I've loved everyone I've met so far, but
I think I am just realizing how much more can happen as the members are more
involved with the missionaries. So we will see what happens! :) I
also got a blessing from Pres. Orgill. I feel so blessed to have had that
opportunity so many times as a missionary! :) The Spirit is always so
strong and I really am reminded how much God is aware of me and how much He
loves me and has a plan for me!! :) So that was great, and I was able to
leave with greater strength and greater faith! :) Also, he
said that I will probably stay with Sis Chua in both Oak Creek and Yale for the
rest of my mission. So, I'll be starting to learn Chinese this week, so
that I will at least be able to bear my testimony and contact people in
Chinese. So I am really excited for that! :) Should be really fun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And hard, but fun :) I look forward to
this new opportunity!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

A lot better than the week before! :) We did the same thing, going to ward
council and Sacrament in Oak Creek (where I was asked to bear my testimony, so
that was good) and then we went to the Yale Branch! :) So
that was great!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

people on Sunday evening, and that was just so great. Sister Chua and I
were both so happy!!! :) I love talking to people!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

we went on a hike, in Laguna (basically we can go anywhere since we are
serving in the Yale Branch, and that covers ummm I think Orange County...so
that is fun). But we got to see the ocean, and I love it so much!
We also cleaned and went to zone activity! Then to a members family bbq
where I remembered that it was a holiday! Then we taught an investigator and his mom and
brother (who are already members) and that was good. And then we
exchanged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

today. Some of the sisters last week had expressed concern about how Sis
Hurst was doing with training after 12 weeks of being a missionary, and they
suggested I come on an exchange with her. Sister Hurst is doing
fabulously! :) So no worries there, I realized last night that this
exchange really is a tender mercy from the Lord. I love Laguna, and not because
of the area, but because of the people. And that is what I miss the most, and
today we will be blessed to get to teach a few of our investigators like Linda
and Michelle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will also be teaching
Ronnie tonight, so you'll probably get a picture ;) haha. Anyway, it feels
good to be back, even if it is only for a day. I'll enjoy it, and make
the most out of it, and then go and work as hard as I can in my own area!
:) And I'll work hard at trying to learn Chinese too ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

crazy, my emotions all over the place, but I can tell you that I am
happy. Why? Because of so many reasons. The Gospel is true!
God loves me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You all love me! I
get to see the ocean today! I feel the Spirit all the time, and I get to
share the greatest message ever with all those around me! Missionary work
makes me happy. The gospel makes me happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowing we will be together forever makes me
happy. Sister Chua makes me happy, oh man, she is so great! I love her!
So, things are good, and I am going to continue to work hard , and hey, I'll do
whatever is required of me. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week has been well, an
adjustment week, just as it always is with a new transfer. But...really
it mostly has just been HOT!!!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
about 105 for 3 days! wooot!!! That was a good time!!! So we had appointments,
and did our best to stay inside and stay cool, and let me tell you we were so
grateful when it got back into the 80's yesterday! I am just grateful
that I am serving here and not somewhere where it is more humid and hot like
that all the time. I'll take So Cal. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So like I mentioned, this
week has been an adjustment week. Before transfers, I knew I
was getting transferred, and I felt like that is what was supposed to happen,
and so that was good. Monday night we had dinner with Brian and
Kristy, and then saw the Dunnings, Leva and taught Catherine and said bye to
Ronnie. It was a busy 3 hours after all of our Pday activities were done!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday was the first of the HEAT
WAVE! I finished packing and we went and saw a few members and then
headed to Irvine for transfer meeting. Sister Chua and Sister Staley are
great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they are both so different
and so fun! Sister Staley is from Nevada. She came out the same time that
Sister Hurst did, so about 3 months ago!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sister Chua is from Malaysia (is that how you spell that?) She has
been out for 6 weeks. They are so great, and I love working with them
already!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So things are going good
here in this area, I still haven't met most of our investigators, but
that will change soon I am sure! But we do have a lot, so hopefully we
can help them progress towards baptism!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So honestly, most of this week
was a blur...so I'm not really sure what to tell you about it! But I will tell
you about yesterday! So we went to the Oak Creek ward's sacrament
meeting. Which was good, I’m excited to be in that ward, it should be
really good. But our ward meets in a building similar to ours at home,
which is the first one on my mission that is like that, so I was feeling kinda
homesick during church, and then I was missing the Laguna beach ward, and I was
just praying and wondering why I was sent to this ward (why I couldn't still be
in Laguna, why I had to have been moved in east away from the ocean where it
was hot), what my purpose was, and really I was just kind of murmuring. So I
opened the scriptures randomly (something that doesn’t always work for me when
I am looking for an answer). But yesterday it did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I opened up to D & C 66. Which was
a direct answer to my prayer. So here are some of the answers that I
received<o:p></o:p></span></div>

kinda like me getting called to repentance, just not in a harsh way, but really
God telling me that He has a plan for me and that I just need to go out and
work, and that He will take care of the rest! And that is really what I
needed, so my prayer was answered and my faith was strengthened!</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

the Lake building for the Chinese Branch where we stayed for that entire
block! We (Sister Staley and I) used the headsets during sacrament
meeting, but they only interpret that meeting. So the rest was in Chinese, but
a few of the members who aren’t Chinese helped us out so that we could understand
better! So that was great! I also played the piano in Relief
Society...boy do I need practice, but they don't have many members who play the
piano, so they appreciated my stumbling through 2 hymns, but I'll practice so
that next week will be better!</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="background: #EEEEEE; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">We also had dinner with the Relief Society President of the branch, and
all they elders serving in the branch, so lots and lots of Chinese
language. And I tried sushi, but it didn't have raw fish, I can't
remember what was in it...so I don’t know if that counts or not, but I'll
probably have sushi sometime in the next 5 weeks (I’ll probably only be with
Sister Chua for this transfer, but we will see!) But, that should be
fun!!!</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

going good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I am adjusting quickly,

will be better examples of Jesus Christ. For He is the greatest example
of love (CHARITY!) And as we have charity, we will be able to help more
people come unto Christ, and help them feel of the love that He has for them!
:) So just an interesting thought!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Hello family,<span style="mso-tab-count: 8;"> </span>May

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">It was so great to see you and talk to you all
yesterday! I loved every minute of it! I am so glad that you are doing well,
and that well...ya, you are all just awesome! I love you so much!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So, I'll tell you more about my week, since I
actually didn’t do much of that yesterday!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So, there may be some repeats, but not a lot! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">This week was a good one!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">On Tuesday we had our Zone Training Meeting, and
that went really well! :) We talked a lot about the things that we can do
differently to be better examples of Jesus Christ, and also how we can improve
our companionship study! So one thing that our mission is doing is reading the
Book of Mormon together! We read 5 pages today at the beginning of our
companionship study so that we can learn from the Book of Mormon together and
bring the Spirit even more into our mission!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So that is something that is really, really exciting! :) I love it
so far! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Tuesday night we met with Bishop and Catherine,
because she wanted a blessing (so cool!) and so he talked to her about the
priesthood, and blessings, and it was a really powerful spiritual experience
for all of us! Bishop also told her that at our next lesson we would
be talking about baptism and inviting her to be baptized, which she said she
was ok with!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Wednesday I gave a training in another zone, so
that was our morning. We got to teach Catherine that afternoon, and we
did talk about baptism, and invited her, and she accepted!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So she will be getting baptized on the 25th
of May!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is pretty great!
It has been so great to see her progress as she has come to church and as she
has felt the Spirit, she really just wants to change her life, and this is how
she is going to do that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And she is so
excited! It makes me even more excited! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Wednesday night we went to a dinner at the mission
home since Sister Drinkwater went home last week. So that was fun, and really
weird to be sending her off, so weird.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I've known her for so long!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crazy
how fast time goes, and really, how things do come to an end, or at least,
enter a new stage!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Thursday we went to lunch with our Bishop and the
Elders in our ward, since there was a chance that Elder Schumacher and I could
get transferred, since we've both been in the area for a long time. But
we got to ride in his Tesla... :) so that was really awesome! Welcome to
Orange County. :) Quite a great place really, I love it! :) Anyway, we also got
to see Ronnie, and wow, I had a testimony of Personal Progress already, cause
it changed my life! But it is changing Ronnie. She is a lot more loving,
and quiet during our lessons, she really is changing! The gospel really
does change people!!!! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Friday we went to a funeral in San Clemente, and
then we had weekly planning! We also got to see Lynda, and she committed
to being baptized (or at least working towards) June 1st. Her only
holdback is her situation, since they don't really have anything stable, she
just wants to be more stable, but hopefully we can just help her feel the
Spirit, and help her want to be baptized then! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Saturday was good, we went to the new trainers
meeting! Oh yea, so I'll be finishing training, and Sister Hurst is
training!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 12 weeks!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is so awesome! :) So that was a good
meeting!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Then we had a few windows, and we talked to about
180 people! (Saturdays are BUSY in Laguna!) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was just fun, I love talking to
people! It really gets me all pumped up!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">We taught Catherine about the Book of Mormon, and
that went really well! At dinner we shared a message about mothers, and
we talked about our moms, and I am so grateful for you mom, for all that you
did and do for me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such a blessing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really was so blessed with all of you! Such
a wonderful family! I really couldn't ask for anything more! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Saturday night we got transfer calls, but I already
knew that I was leaving, since I will be going to Sister Drinkwater's old area
in Irvine! I'm excited, to be working in an English ward and then to be helping
Sister Chua be ready to take over the Chinese branch next transfer. So
mom, to answer your questions, I have no idea if I'll be in Chinese homes, I
think so, I know that we will be going to the Chinese branch on Sundays (well
we may have to do splits, but I think I'll go sometimes). So that will be
interesting to see! One of the assistants asked me if I was ready for a
culture shock...I don't have much of a choice, but I am excited for the new
adventures that are coming my way! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">Yesterday was CRAZY but so fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After church we visited a lot of members (all
of whom at church said, "you are coming over to say goodbye right?"),
so we were running around all over Laguna, but it was fun! I love this ward, I
really do. I love the members, I love the investigators, it is going to be sad
to leave, but I am ready to go out and work hard and give my all to my next
area. I'll start Strong there, and I plan on finishing well! :)
It really is going to be great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So, I talked to you yesterday, so that was my
update for the week, but not much else to say. Things are good. Time to go pack!
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">I love you all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The church is true! Jesus Christ is our Savior! :) We
need Him, and so does the world!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
keep being awesome examples and standing for what is right!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">And to end, I'll share a quote that President
Orgill shared with me this week, "That same God that placed that star in
precise orbit a millennia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of
the birth of that Babe has given at least equal attention to the placement of
each of us in precise human orbits so that we may, if we will, illuminate the
landscape of our individual lives, so that our light may not only lead others,
but warm them as well." Neal A. Maxwell!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Hello
Family!!!!<span style="mso-tab-count: 9;"> </span><span style="mso-tab-count: 2;"> </span>May 5, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Well,
first off, it sounds like it was a big week at our house in Provo!!! With
the dance concert, and then everything with your new calling dad, I think that
it is great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And well, remember that the
Lord qualifies those whom He calls! :) I think that you will be
great though, as you serve in that capacity! :) That is so cool that
you were able to talk to Elder Falabella, and cool that he remembers
meeting me...that was what feels like so long ago, I feel like I've changed and
grown so much since he came to our mission!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Lets see,
what else! I am glad that concert went good. Ronnie did show me that
quick video clip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We went over on
Saturday and she told me that she had a surprise for me, so that was a nice
surprise! But anyway!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sounds like
things are good at home, and I'll mention more about my thoughts on everything
as I go throughout my email. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">This week
has been a good one! As I mentioned in my letter last week, right after
we finished emailing we got a call from Chevy telling us that our car actually
needed to come back to the shop, and that it was their mistake that they had
given it back to us, so we've been driving a rental this week, a Chevy Malibu,
we miss our Cruze, but it drives and so that is all we need! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">This week
has been HOT!!!!!!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And by hot I mean
like high 90's nearly all week. Even in Laguna Beach, which the members
in our ward told us over and over how unusual that was for Laguna, so that made
things exciting! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">But things
were happening this week! We were able to see Linda this week, and she is doing
great, and she came to church yesterday, and we will be seeing her soon, and
inviting her to be baptized this month!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She's all in, so we are excited for that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">We were
also able to meet with Catherine this week, and she is so GREAT! The
lesson was very spiritual, and we all cried. One thing I learned this
week really is how much the gospel can bless our lives as we choose to accept
it and follow it. :) It truly is a remarkable thing. And it is so
great to see how much it helps those who we get to see on a weekly basis, it
really does change us! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">On
Thursday I had Mission Leadership Council, and it was so great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(I think that is my phrase for the week...it
was just "so great!") Anyway, it really was good, and one thing
that really stuck out to me, not only at MLC but also throughout this week was
really as I commit myself to the purpose I have been called to, then I will
learn all that I am supposed to, and become who I am supposed to become.
I feel so blessed to be serving a mission right now, learning to trust in God,
and give myself to Him, I really hope that I can do that for the next few
months, not worry about life after the mission, but truly give all my heart, all
my might, all my strength to this great work, because right now this is the
greatest thing that I could ever be doing, and I love it! :) I really
do!! :) But those have been some of the things I've been thinking about this
past week, just how I don't have a whole lot of time left, yes I still have
time, yes there will be miracles and many people to accept the gospel, but I
want to give my all till the end, and that is what I am going to do :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Thursday
was also Sis. Hurst's birthday, and Ronnie threw her a surprise party, so that
was really sweet of her, and the ward is just so great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So it was good, and fun, and I'm glad, since
for most of Sis. Hurst's Birthday I wasn't even with her! But, it was a
good day and I think she enjoyed it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Thursday
night was an interesting one for me. Most nights on my mission it really
has been so easy for me to fall asleep, but not on Thursday. And it
wasn't even 11, but I was frustrated that I was still awake, so I went into our
bathroom (so I could have light, without waking up Sister Hurst) with the
Book of Mormon. I was almost done with Ether, so I was like, well, I used
to read all the time before bed, so let's try that tonight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I started reading, I was again frustrated
cause I was reading about all these wars, and I was like, this is not what I
need right now. (So yes, I got mad at the Book of Mormon). So I skipped
ahead to Moroni, and for some reason I was crying, not really sure why,
but I think I cried until about Moroni 8. And by then I had calmed down,
and I was feeling the Spirit, and then I finished reading the Book of Mormon.
And I again prayed, just as we are invited to, and the feelings of Peace that
the Spirit bring are so remarkable. I love the Spirit, I love the Book of
Mormon, I want to read it everyday (just like you dad) and I want to share the
joy that comes from the gospel with any and all who want to let it be a part of
their lives. Needless to say, I went back to bed, and was asleep with in
minutes, but this time with an even stronger testimony of the restored gospel!
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Friday we
did a lot of service, got to paint a wall and help some people move! We
also got to sing at a youth conference. It was really powerful, and it
just reminded me of pivotal points in my youth that really shaped me and helped
me be more prepared to serve a mission, even though that thought had never
crossed my mind. Saturday was good as well, we talked to 102 people, and
that was just fun! :) I love talking to people! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Yesterday
was GREAT! Testimony meeting was really wonderful, Chloe (Brian and
Kristy's four year old) bore her testimony, she said, "Jesus loves
me." Then she stopped and smiled, then Kristy asked her if she had
anything else to say, and she said, "Choose the right." It was
so simple yet so profound. I love little children, they really are close
to God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">We had
dinner with Brian and Kristy, and in the midst of our conversation, we found
out that Ethan had shared his testimony in one of his classes after sacrament
meeting (Giselle had shared hers in sacrament meeting), and before we knew it
we were having our own mini testimony meeting. It was so great to hear
Brian, who is a recent convert talk about how the gospel has changed his life
and his family. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And to hear Kristy share
how much she knows that God loves each of us, and how He always will. And
then for me and Sister Hurst to also share the love that God has for us, and
for the power that this gospel brings into our lives, and the desires that we
have to share that with many people. And then to hear Ethan and Giselle,
who are not yet members, but who have strong testimonies of the gospel.
It really was remarkable, and something that I hope to remember for a long
time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">So that
was my week! Good things are coming this week, we are excited for everything
that is happening in Laguna, we are working hard and showing the Lord that He
can trust us! As for transfer predictions, I've felt both that I could
stay and that I could go. I really honestly have no idea, but when I call on
Sunday I'll be able to share with you what is happening, cause we will have
found out the day before!!! :) Wow, crazy to think that it is already
time to call you again!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are excited
for that and it really will be so great! :) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I hope you have a good week until then!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stay safe, do what is right and SMILE! :)
Be an example in all ways!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">Something
to ponder on until Sunday, how have you been changed as I've been on a
mission, I'd like all of us to share our stories, so be thinking about that!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt;">I’ll talk
to you soon!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your week was good and that prom was fun! I love the pictures Kenna, thanks!

rough one, well in terms of the work, we had several (like 4) set
investigator lessons at the beginning of the week, but one by one they all
canceled, cause they were either sick, or randomly out of town, or just busy.
So that was a bummer and we weren't able to teach any of them this week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was just rough!! But, the
future is bright, and it can only mean that good things are coming because
Satan is fighting so hard right now! So, we are keeping the faith
and just working hard! :) And I know that good things are coming!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all of our investigators cancelling, we had a pretty good and adventurous
week. Let's see, so Tuesday I was on an exchange, and at about 11 we
got a call from Elder Orme, one of the senior missionaries in charge of the
cars, telling us that we needed to come to Irvine, get a paper from him and
then go to the Chevy dealership to have our car inspected because it had been
recalled. So that is how we spent most of our afternoon, driving to
Irvine, and then hanging out for 2 hours at the dealership (with about 20 or so
other missionaries who were there for the same reason). So that was really
exciting! ;) The good news is that our car passed the inspection, and it is
working properly so we get to keep the car! Hurray! :) But that
made our day pretty great! :) Fun time, exchanges are. And I guess really
with life in general, nothing ever goes the way we think it will, but it sure
is great and exciting! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

good, I had an interview with President Orgill (yes, I seem to have a lot
of those...ok not really, but he is just so great!) We talked about a lot
of things, and how I can better help some of the sisters that I have been asked
to be over as a Sister Training Leader, and at then end I asked for a blessing,
and that was really, really great. Each time I have received a blessing
from him, it has become more and more evident to me the plan that God has for
me, but not only that, but the Love that He has for me. And then I
just want to go out and share it with all the world! :) Which
as a missionary, I have the blessed opportunity to do so. :) hmmmm,
I just love the Gospel :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was on another exchange, and that was great! I was somewhere in Laguna Niguel,
and I was able to meet this old lady (she is 97) and her name is Wilma. She was
so adorable, and it really was great to see how happy the gospel makes her, and
she mentioned how she is grateful that she had it, and that she probably
wouldn’t still be around without it. I want to be a cool old lady
like her someday...(oh ya know, just in like 77 years). Another cool
thing about her is that she did ballroom, she danced all over the world! Super
cool! :) When we told her that I did ballroom too, she grabbed my
hand, and looked me in the eyes and said, "when you’re done, come back
here and visit me and I'll give you one of my old dresses." The
light was shining in her eyes, and she was just smiling, so she may be one that
we have to visit, if I can remember how to find her. :) And not
because of the dress, but because of the Spirit which she had around her, it
truly was inspiring! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

this week on Friday, it is so evident to Sister Hurst and I how
much really is possible in Laguna Beach! Which is so
exciting! And yes, right now we may only be planting seeds, but
that is so important!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we will be
blessed with the opportunity to help others accept the gospel, and that truly
is so wonderful! But I just feel blessed to share the gift of the
Atonement with those around me, change is hard, so hard, but as I myself
have been changing, it is so much easier to invite others to do the same, and
to share personal testimony about what it has done for me. It
really is remarkable. And we are able to see miracles every single
day! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

believe it has been a year since I last did that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pretty crazy how fast time goes!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

opportunity (for the first time on my mission to speak), and I did see
Ronnie holding up her phone, and figured she was taking a picture to send to
you, what a funny girl. :) But, my talk was interesting, so I
had planned out mostly what I wanted to say (I didn’t write it word for word
like I have in the past). But then, as Elder Schumacher (an elder also serving
in the ward) as he was speaking, I felt prompted to share my story of how I
came on a mission. So I did, it was not something that I had planned on
sharing, but I am grateful I did. The Spirit was strong, and I think many
of the ward members appreciated it. I feel too often that as
missionaries, members and investigators look to us and see someone who is
"perfect" but I think as missionaries, as we open ourselves up, and
share personal experiences, and share feelings that we had (like for example, I
never wanted to go on a mission, it wasn't a part of the plan, but as I learned
to rely on the gospel, I knew that it was something that I needed to go out and
share), but as we share those things, I feel like we become more real, we show
everyone that we aren't perfect, because we aren't. We are still human,
still mess up, we ALL need the atonement. But I myself was grateful for
the opportunity to speak, to share my testimony and to really remember how I
got out here, and recommit myself to this great work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

by. Each night as I pray I wonder, how can today already be over???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that is what I wonder all the time.
I promise, I am not getting trunky, but I did calculate how many days left I
have just cause I was curious. As of today 101. And I’m not going
to count down, but knowing that my days as a full time missionary are
limited make me push even harder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I want
to lift the faith of as many people I can. I want others to feel the joy that
comes from living the gospel. And I am going to work hard every single
day so that I can know that I did all that I could :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

full of many personal experiences and miracles which I will always hold close
to my heart. This work truly is a miracle. Seeing people change is
a miracle. Helping others find hope is a miracle. Laughing when you
are tired and just got a door slammed in your face by a less active member is a
miracle. It is all a miracle because the Gospel is true, the Gospel
of Jesus Christ is a miracle. And it is beautiful, just as a potential
investigator said to us when we called him yesterday. He asked,
"what would you be sharing with me?" And we said, "a message
about Jesus Christ and His gospel."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And he said, "oh, that's beautiful!" And it truly
is!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I hope that this week we can
think about this beautiful gospel, commit ourselves to live more like Christ
would, in all aspects of our lives! :) I hope you all have a
great week! I love you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

yesterday!!! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This week has been a
good one, I've really learned a lot. And I hope I can share at
least some of what I learned this week!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
this week we had Zone Training Meetings, and those were great as always!
:) We also had 2 choir practices since we had a big concert last night
since it was Easter! But before we get to that, lets see...what is
happening in Laguna…Lots of things. We found 2 new investigators
this week, but because of choir, I still haven't met them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I can't really tell you anything about
them, but one's name is Maggie and the other is Linda. So :) that was
really a great miracle! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

we will be meeting with Catherine and Jamie, and hopefully we can start to
teach them. So that will be great! Lot's of good things happening here!
Michelle is still progressing and well, we are working hard to find teach and
baptize, and we have already seen many miracles, and I know that we will see
even more as time goes on! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">On Friday we were
able to go to the temple. It was so great to be in the house of the Lord,
to feel the peace that comes there, and to feel God's love so much more.
It was needed and nice, and even though I didn't get the answers I was looking
for, to the questions I had, I was able to get answers and just reassured that
God knows me perfectly, and that I really do just need to trust in His timing!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So I went on an
exchange to Irvine with sister Putnam! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
that was fun to be back with her again! :) And SUPER weird to be in my old apartment
for a day. But, we had a good but also weird exchange. Cause Saturday
morning was A BIG day! We woke up and got ready in our nicest
clothes and headed over to Newport where we were able to not only hear from
Elder Neil L Anderson, but we were also able to shake his hand. It was a
very spiritual experience, even just being in the same room as an Apostle of
the Lord. It was so...I don’t even know what words I should use to
describe it. But it was an experience that I will not ever
forget. The talks of those who were with them (Elder Ellis from the
seventy and his wife, as well as Elder Anderson’s wife) were all focused on
Jesus Christ, as they should, but it was so great! :) Elder
Anderson talked about a lot of different things, but I think the things that
stood out to me the most were these:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">1.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a hard area to baptize, and this
should still be our goal, because it is possible, but we really should be
lifting the faith of all those that we come in contact with. The world is
spinning fast away from Jesus Christ, the Bible and God. We need to help
all those that we can to keep having faith, and keep strengthening their faith,
because that really is what is important. And we can do that whether
we are missionaries or not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So my
invitation from that is to lift the faith of all of those around you! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">2. The Book of Mormon
is so important. The world is losing it's faith in the Bible. (Which
means their faith in Jesus Christ is also dwindling) But the Book of Mormon is
another testament of Jesus Christ, and the days are quickly coming that it will
be more and more important for us to share it with the world. So read it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Share it. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">3.
Another thing that stuck out to me was that the atonement is personal and
individual. But, I'm gonna talk about yesterday and then I'll tell you
the rest of my thoughts on that, because it has continued from Saturday until
now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So Yesterday was Easter,
and it actually was kind of a crazy day. We sang in a sacrament meeting
in Irvine at 9, and then we came to the end of our ward with Sister Hedrick,
and then we went to her sacrament meeting cause she was speaking. Then we
went to dinner with a great family! They did a BIG Easter egg hunt with
all their grandkids and a few families from the ward. We got to help hide
the eggs, and I must mention that when I say big, there were at least 250 eggs
that we hid, so it was so fun watching all the kids run around and go and find
the eggs. it felt like family, it felt like home, and that was nice!
:) We also had a choir concert, and it really was so powerful
being able to testify of Jesus Christ. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
think one of my favorite songs that we sang was called "This is the Christ,"
and one of my favorite parts says "I too can testify, this is the Christ,
the Holy Son of God, our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind, this is the
Christ" Because that is the message that we share, that Jesus
Christ lives! And that because he lives, we have
EVERYTHING. I don't know if you have seen this yet, but if not, go
watch it and go share it, it is called Because of Him, the newest video that
the church put out. We've been watching it with members and
nonmembers. It is so powerful!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is
the link:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><a href="http://easter.mormon.org/"><span style="color: #346da2; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">http://easter.mormon.org/</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">So, back to the
atonement topic. The Savior went through the atonement for
each of us. When he was on the earth he healed people, one by one.
And so it is with us now, whether we are the repentant sinner, or going through
a deep trial and we need strength, the atonement heals us one by one, and gives
us strength one by one. It is personal and individual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every week we are able to take, one by one,
of the sacrament, and become clean again, one by one. Jesus Christ did
what he did for each of us, individually. Because he loves us. He loves
me. He loves you! :) And I know that is true! I know that He is
real, that he Loves us and that he wants us all to return to him. I
feel so blessed to have this gospel, to be a missionary. To know of the
plan of Salvation! Life is so good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Life is so rich! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because of
the gospel, Because of Him. So even though Easter was yesterday, let us
remember the Savior in all that we do!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
share with others this wonderful message! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

more about my morning today. My zone did a Ragnar rely race (where each
person runs for a distance, and then the next person runs) So me and Sister
Hurst ran a mile, but me, not feeling super great, finished the mile, and then
I threw up, so that was really exciting. Then we got to all do
personal study at the church, and then we had a testimony meeting with all the
missionaries in our stake and it was really powerful to hear the testimonies of
people that I get to work with, and to hear how much the Savoir has personally
helped each of us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I am glad to hear that
tour was FUN! :) The tour to San Francisco when I went...could it
have really already been 3 years ago?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Man, where does the time go? But that was probably my favorite tour,
so I am glad that you were all able to enjoy it last week!! :) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me, first off! I'm better! :)
Hurray! I started feeling better last Monday, so that was really
nice! :) And then we went out and got to work!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This past week has been a good
one. I am really seeing what we are capable of as a companionship and as
a mission. If we are willing to put in the work and pay the price to be
good missionaries! :) So that’s what we are working hard to do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So, you mentioned
the 40 day fast that I sent you, I am glad you are taking the challenge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is been a great thing for me
already. Going without things that aren't bad, but they distract
from the Spirit, so it really has been great to see already how much more I
feel the Spirit as I am working on letting go of the little distractions
and focusing even more on all the people around me! Blessings are already
coming. But I'm not doing it because of that. I want to be a better
person. I want to be a better missionary. And it is already changing me, the
gospel is anyway! Which, I found a cool quote on that this morning:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We can change our behavior. Our very
desires can change. How? There is only one way. True
change--Permanent change--can only come through the healing, cleansing, and
enabling power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. He loves you-each of
you. He allows you to access His power as you keep His commandments
eagerly, earnestly and exactly. It is that simple and certain. The gospel
of Jesus Christ is a gospel of change." - Russell M. Nelson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love that. I see
everyday, I invite people everyday, to change their lives and come closer
to Jesus Christ. Well, I feel if I invite people to do that, I should be
doing the same thing! :) So, I continue to daily embrace the Gospel
of Jesus Christ, and as I rely on my Savior, I am changed! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"> Anyway, back to
my week! Tuesday I had a Sister Training Leader meeting, to help plan a
little bit of our mission leadership council. So that was
fun. And good. And also weird. Sister Drinkwater goes home in
like 3 weeks. It is pretty crazy to all of us, she really has been such a great
help to me, and to so many others. It will be sad to see her
go, but hey, life goes on :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Lets see…trying to
remember my week ;) On Wednesday we were able to see Brian and
Kristy and Ethan and Giselle and read the Book of Mormon with them.
Everyday I feel of it's power. I do not know what I would do without this
wonderful book! Read it! :) And we were also able to see a few members
and that morning we had a really good and interesting district meeting.
We talked about how we need to be more excited about DOING the work. I
mean, I'm pretty excited about this work! But I realized that I am more
excited when I am writing about it in my emails or my journal, so I am working
on being more excited about doing the work!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that has helped me a lot. I love talking to
people. I love getting rejected over and over. I don't know why I do,
probably because I know that it is true! So yes, even though it is hard, I will
continue to put it all on the table so that I can just find even ONE person who
will listen, because that ONE makes every rejection worth it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Thursday I had
Mission Leadership Council, and that was really great! We talked a lot about a
lot of different things actually, but I think one thing that stood out to me
was how we are trying to create a Celestial culture in our mission, and that
will mean sacrifice on our part!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But what a wonderful thing to be a part of, to do and to create.
So I guess, just realized this, that a good theme for this week could be
"it's hard, but it's worth it." Because it really
is. :) And it gets easier as you keep doing what is right! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Thursday night we also
had a window where we had a lady yell at us for several minutes, which actually
was quite funny, since we had gone up to talk to her, and she just stood up
from her bench, and moved to another one, where she then started yelling
things, but it was a pretty noisy area, so I don't know what she was
saying. So we just kept talking to people :) But it made for
a fun window.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Friday was
good, I went on an exchange with Sister Hedrick, and that was great! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Saturday night we had
dinner with some former investigators and their member friends. And
then yesterday, Jamie, this nonmember came to church and wants to take the
lessons! We can't meet with her this week, cause she is going out
of town, but we have an appointment for next Tuesday! So that is a great
miracle!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Yesterday seemed to be
full of those. See, we have been working hard. Trying as hard as we can
to find new investigators and it has been pretty rough. But yesterday, it
was evidence that God is aware of all our efforts. See, so Jamie
came to church and wants to take the lessons. Another lady also came with a guy
in our ward, and she is interested in learning more, and then we are teaching
Ronnie's sister (oh by the way, Ronnie loved the chocolate you sent her! so
thanks!) Tonight at our Bishop’s house. So we have many potentials,
and this week is really just gonna be a great one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lots of things are happening, and we are gonna keep working
hard so that we can find teach and BAPTIZE!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that more of God's children can return to Him.
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Also, I got thrown
under the bus yesterday by Sister Hurst. She gave a talk in sacrament
meeting, as did one of the elders (who has also only been out for a short
time). But she said something along the lines of, "so, I've been out
for 2 months, and this is my first area, and I'm speaking today, but I should
let you know that Sister Burningham and Elder Schumacher (the other elder in
our ward) have been out for 18 months and almost 18 months, and they haven't
given a talk yet.." And then she began her talk. It was
actually pretty funny, and then the rest of the day people would say "good
job Sister Hurst" then look at me and ask "when is it your
turn?" So I may have to speak soon, but that's ok
:) haha. But it was pretty funny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So that was my week,
and this week should be a good one!! Lots of good things
happening. Get to do Trainings at Zone Training Meeting on both Wednesday
and Thursday for different zones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And then on Friday I get to go to the temple! And then on Saturday
we are having a combined mission conference with the Anaheim Mission because
Elder Neil L. Andersen is coming to our mission!!! :) So we are looking forward
to that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then Sunday is
Easter!! So, it should be a great week! :) We will keep
working hard and doing all that we can to fulfill our purpose as missionaries!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">One last thought, I
was reading today, 2 Nephi 2, and I was thinking about this line
"that they might have joy." God's ultimate purpose is for us to
be HAPPY!!! So, this week I want you to be positive everyday, look for the
good, be grateful, serve and give to others. Find the Joy that comes as
we do what is right! I know you will be happy and I can't wait to hear about
your happy week ;) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I love you all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Love,<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">How is life up in northern Cali? Down south it is pretty
great! This week has been one of the weirdest ones on my mission.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">So lets see, where to even begin. Tuesday WAS
GREAT!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We taught a few
investigators (Ardell is still on track for baptism), and saw some
members. Then we had dinner, just at home cause it was
transfer day, so we didn't have any members sign up, in case either of us
were getting transferred. But, as we were leaving our apartment to go
to our evening appointments, Sister Hurst told me that she was feeling
sick, but that she felt like she could make it through the evening.
We got to our first lesson, which was with an active member family,
and Sister Hurst made it through the lesson, but ran out the door in the
middle of the closing prayer and threw up :( no fun!! So that was a
BUMMER! So, for our next appointment, with Ronnie, I went with the
member's daughter who is a senior this year, while Sister Hurst hung out at
their house. We went home after that, only to find Sister
Hedrick sick as well. So that was great! We caught the
flu! So on Wednesday Sister Carlson and I were crazy people as we
ran from different meetings, to Irvine to see President Orgill, and then
all over both of our areas to get to our appointments. :) So that
was GREAT! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Then on Thursday Sister Hurst was feeling a bit better, so
she went out with Sister Carlson, and I stayed with Sis Hedrick and deep
cleaned our kitchen (gotta get rid of all the yucky germs!) But I
went with Sister Carlson for the evening, cause Sis Hurst ended up feeling sick
again. So we finished the evening, going home to plan, knowing
that me and Sis Carlson were getting sick.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">So Friday, we were right, and we were sick! Yay for having
the stomach flu! Great fun! :) We planned for our week, and then
Sister Hurst and Sister Hedrick who were feeling better went out, while we
stayed in. But we did go to dinner, bad idea though. The sweet
member fed us KFC. uhhh yucky when you are sick. We
felt pretty terrible after that. So we got blessings from
the Elders, in hopes that we would be better for conference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">Conference was FANTASTIC! I loved all the
sessions, and it was just so great! I got a lot out of it, and I know that
one thing I really need to do is have more
faith in God and in His plan for me! I also loved how much
they talked about doing the little things, those things are really what are
going to get us through these last days!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And I am grateful to be getting in a better habit now as a
missionary. Those little things, prayer, scripture study, and FHE
really are going to make a big difference!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So keep doing them! :) I am also so grateful for
all the wonderful testimonies and for Jesus Christ. He really is at the
head of our church! I am so grateful to know that He is my Savior. And
that no matter what happens, He will help us. The atonement covers
everything!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And because God loves
us, He is going to help us!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
will have trials and challenges, but if we are living the gospel, we will be
blessed! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">So Saturday after conference Sister Carlson and I watched
17 Miracles as we were still sick :( Yesterday was good. And I was
gonna tough it out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still felt
pretty terrible, but I was so sick of our apartment. So we went to dinner, and
I felt even worse. So we saw one member and then came
home. And I went to bed at like 8:30 last night. And woke
up feeling sick. So I don't really know what is going on, and why
I'm still sick, but I hope it passes soon! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">The good news is that even though we were in a lot, since
we live with others sisters we were still able to got out and work! Not
as good as we normally do, but it just helped me know how much more capable we
are when we aren't sick! :) So this week there isn't much to report
about people, cause we didn’t see a whole lot of them. But I hope
this next week is better, I hope I’m better soon too! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 9.5pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt; mso-hansi-font-family: Cambria;">But, Still, there is a smile on my face, why?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the Church is true! God loves
me! Blessings will come as I am diligent and
faithful. I know that this Gospel is true. I am so grateful
for the opportunity I have to go out each day and share it with those around
me. What a blessed opportunity. I feel lifted by the atonement each
day! It really does give us strength just as Elder Bednar
said! I love it! I love the gospel, I love being a
missionary! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

safe week! :) Enjoy Cali, enjoy the dancing, just enjoy the
journey! A quote, not from this conference, but from one previous
that I read this past week, "It's not a race, it's a journey, enjoy the
moment." President Uchtdorf. So, truly enjoy EVERY
moment, so that someday we can look back, and smile, remembering what we
did while we were here!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">There are so many
things that I could title this email, for it was an exciting
week! There were many things that were good and fun and
different, and well, there has been a lot on my mind, and a lot that I want to
say! So, we shall see what comes out! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So lets see, Monday
night was good, we taught Michelle about the Book of Mormon, and she has been
reading it everyday, and you can already tell the difference that it is making
in her life. So that is one thing that happened this week, my love for
the Book of Mormon grew. We really will grow closer to God as we read
it. We really will come to know Jesus Christ as we feast on it's
words. The Spirit will enter our lives in greater abundance as we read
it. It will change the world, one life at a time, and I know that it is
changing mine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Tuesday was a good
day. We had a window, and during that window we talked to 152
people. Granted, most did not want to listen, and only about half
took a</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="http://mormon.org/"><span style="color: #346da2; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">mormon.org</span></a></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">card, but we talked to
152 people in one hour!!!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was
pretty fantastic, and it was fun. It made me excited and happy about missionary
work, and about this gospel we are sharing. It is so wonderful!
:) It is just so great! Also, I know that the more
people we talk to, the more people we will find to teach, and the more people
we will baptize! So, this week we talked to 316 people.
It was really cool. I am glad that we have to keep track of how many
people we talk to. At first it was more about the numbers. I don't
know exactly when it changed, but now it is about the people.
I want to help as many as I can come and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ! :)
So we try to talk to everyone. It can be hard, but it really is so fun!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So this week we talked
to a lot of people, taught lessons! :) Things are going well missionary
work wise, we even had a baptism on Saturday. It wasn't anyone we
are teaching though, one of the elders, Elder Tanefski, he is the only member
in his family, and his dad came down from Nevada to be baptized by his
son. It was a really unique and wonderful thing to see! The
Spirit was strong! It was right after the Women's broadcast as well,
so we were all full of the Spirit from that, and then we went and got to see this
man get baptized, it was a miracle! :) Also, just a side
note, at the baptism, they had an octet from our choir sing. (4
elders and 4 sisters) and I sang! Ahh... :) haha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I must be able to sing at least a little bit (remember
Jung?) But, it went well, and it was powerful, and a cool
experience, but scary!!!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Lets see...we've been
spending more time outside, and since summer is coming, the sun is
closer, so we got a little burned this week, but we learned our lesson and will
be wearing sunscreen from now on! ;) But I do have to say, I am
getting a fabulous watch tan line. ;) But, anyway,
things are good. Ardell is still great! He is solid, and
still set for baptism! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So,
hopefully we will get to see him two times this week. Michelle is
great, like I mentioned before! And Ethan and Giselle we weren't able to see
this week, but we are hoping to get to see them soon!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Ok what else.
Oh, transfers are tomorrow, but Sister Hurst and I are staying the same.
:) We guessed that we would stay together, since she is still
getting trained, but weird things could happen. But I’m glad I get to be
in Laguna Beach for at least 6 more weeks. I'd love to stay here until
the end of my mission, but we will see how that goes! I'll go
wherever the Lord calls me!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Hmmm oh yes, So
yesterday, President and Sister Orgill's daughter came and spoke to our
mission, she talked about her story and about how we become who God wants us to
be through pressure and polishing. It was very
inspiring. And we really do all have different challenges and concerns
and things that we all go through. We all have a story. It is
written in part by our choices, but also by the things that we
experience. Our stories are so unique, and so personal. Everything
that we go through is exactly what we need to return to our Father in Heaven
and become like Him! :) I am grateful for my own story. I am also grateful for
all the hard things I have been through. One of my favorite quotes from
Jodi (the Orgill's daughter) was this: "I wouldn't be here now, if I
hadn't been where I was then." I am so grateful for everything
that has led up to this point in my life, and for the things that I will yet
experience. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">The last thing I
wanted to talk about was the Plan of Salvation. We taught a member
last night, practicing teaching the plan of salvation. And at the end we
were talking about what the P.O.S means to us personally, and she was telling
us about how in a Relief Society lesson once she asked the women to share just
one word that described the plan of salvation to them. She shared
how there were so many words, because we are all so different. But I was
thinking about it, and I think the word that I would use is
hope. The Plan of Salvation gives me so much hope. Hope in who
I can become.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope in God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope in his plan for me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hope that there is more after this
life. Hope. I love that word, I really do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So, I HOPE that you
have a great week! Enjoy conference, follow the inspiration that
you receive, and do all you can to draw closer to the Lord! :) I love you
all, and I you are so great! I feel so blessed, in so many ways!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">This week has been a
good one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I've been reviewing my
planner and my journal to actually remember everything that happened so that I
could remember what to tell you! ;) Still same old me, forgetting things
;) But, really, this week was a good one! There were many
miracles, and just a lot going on!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Such an exciting time to be a missionary! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So
being an STL, I go on one exchange with each companionship that I am
over. So this transfer I was over 3 companionships, and so we go out
to see how they are doing and really, we help with the emotional aspect of
missionary work. It really is so crazy how many missionaries are
struggling. I feel so blessed to not struggle as much as some. It is hard
work, but I really am learning to rely on the atonement! :)
So I go on exchanges, I go to Mission Leadership Council and then I do trainings
at meetings. I also meet with the Zone Leaders and District Leaders in my zone
and we help each other know how we can be better leaders and help the missionaries
that we serve. :) So those are some of the things I get to do, along with all
the things I do as a missionary, and as a trainer!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it is fun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And God helps me! :)</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So lets see, this past
week was zone training meetings, and since I am over sisters in 2 zones I got
to do a training on Tuesday and on Wednesday. Sister Kimball is
also over the same sisters, so we planned and got the training ready together,
then on Tuesday morning she texted me around 7:30 telling me that she was
sick. So, I got to train by myself. The first part was a
little rocky. So I just prayed, cause I didn't know what to do, I didn't know
exactly what to say. And then all of the sudden I was crying, and
testifying. And it hit me how passionate I was about the work. How
everyone we talk to really are our brothers and sisters. And how we
should want to talk to everyone because we have the gospel and they don’t.
It was a powerful moment for me, because not only did I realize truly how
important this work is to me, I also was again reminded that God will make our
weaknesses become strong, He helped me share with the missionaries the Spirit
that needed to be felt. I also realized that I should be testifying more,
because it really does bring the
Spirit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Wednesday I got woken
up early by Sister Carlson, and I was so confused!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But she told me that I needed to go with sister Hedrick to
teach seminary. So off we went to early morning seminary! That was an
adventure, but it was fun! :) And then we had our zone training meeting,
but Sister Kimball was better so she was able to help with that! :) We
got to teach Ardell again, he is so solid! :) He is great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And he is progressing towards
baptism! So that is fantastic! :) We also were able to
teach Ethan and Giselle this week, they so want to get baptized! So we pray for
them all the time! :) We know our prayers are heard!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">Hmm, so I don't do
this often, but I feel like I need to share part of what I wrote in my journal
this past week, Wednesday I think. I wrote, "I feel that my mission is a
gift from God. I've learned how to truly love people. I've learned to tell the
truth and declare repentance. I've learned how the atonement truly helped
me. I have become free. I've grown to love the priesthood. I've received
personal revelation. I am becoming converted to the gospel. I am truly becoming
who God intended me to be. My eyes are being opened, and my
understanding of the gospel is growing. And the things that used to
matter, don't as much. I want eternal and complete joy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I know the gospel will help me get
that now and in the future. With the help of God, all
things are possible. I am so happy. :D Truly happy! A happiness
that comes from God, not from the world." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">This gospel is
true!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I get to go out and
share it everyday! We opened a few windows this week, and found a few
potentials. We also talked to over 150 people this week. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will find the elect. We will find
those who are searching. I know it, because we are doing all that we can, and
sometimes I feel like we even do more than that, but it is so fun. Being
a missionary is hard, but it is FUN!!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">On Saturday we went on
an exchange with Sister Drinkwater, she came to Laguna for a day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that was pretty fun!
:) It was good to work with her again, she inspires me.
But after we dropped her off with her companions, we had a few more people that
we wanted to stop by, I wasn't feeling good at all, but we went to see this
less active lady that we hadn't met before. She opened her door, saw who
we were and she said, "Oh, there is no hope for me, I will never be going
back to church." It makes me so sad when people say this.
She is happy and content with her life. But she doesn't and won’t have
all of the blessings that God wants to give her. Our hearts
were depressed. We were sad, and as I was writing in my journal later
that night it hit me, that there is ALWAYS hope!!! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God loves each of us. He never gives up on us, we tend
to give up on ourselves, but HE NEVER DOES! Those who have fallen
away, they will someday come back, and He will welcome them with open arms! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I know that there is always
hope, because God is kind, He is merciful, and He wants more than anything for
all of His children to return to Him! I feel blessed and humbled
that I have been called and set apart as a missionary to go and share this with
whoever will listen. And for those who do not listen, we pray for them,
that their hearts will be open (Alma 6:6). But truly, there is
always hope!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So this week was a
good one. Total we taught 22 lessons. I don't know if I have taught
that many lessons during one week my whole mission, maybe, but I don't
know. I am beginning to see that we really are capable of so much
more! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we are working hard
to get there! :) So things are looking bright, and this week
is going to be a good one! I am excited! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I love you all!
And I too am excited for Conference! Both General Conference and
the Women's Conference that is this weekend! Oh, speaking of this
weekend, I can't remember if I mentioned this, but one of the Elders that
serves in the Laguna Beach ward with us, he is a convert of about 3 or 4 years,
his mom passed away when he was young, but his dad is coming to Laguna on
Saturday to be baptized by his son! It is a really cool
story, and I think it will be a very spiritual
experience! So, looking forward to that, and we will be
inviting as many people as we can to come and attend that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It should be a good one! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So let me think, I
think that may be everything for this week! But, I do know that the Church is
true! I love this gospel, I love my Heavenly Father! I love you all as
well!! Keep doing good things, keep doing the little things! You will be
blessed! I love you!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">First off, congrats
PHS for being 10 time state champs! I am grateful that I was able to be a
part of that, at that time in my life!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">This week has been a
really great one! I wasn't sure what to expect at the beginning with 3
exchanges and Mission Leadership Council, but it really was a great week and
full of miracles! </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
Our first miracle is Ardell, we met with him on Tuesday, and taught him
the restoration. And right before we taught him he was like "oh,
after we talked last week I looked up your church online” (my mind was
like "oh great, he found some anti stuff.... this is going to be fun), but
instead he goes, “and I found this book, and wanted to know if it was the right
one.” He had downloaded the Book of Mormon to his phone, and he had
already started to read it! Before we even taught him, is
elect?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would certainly say
YES!!!! :) Anyway, so that was reall, really great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">My days are all
running together, but it really was a good week. So we are now teaching
Ardell, and he came to church and loved it! Also, we started
teaching a couple, Christine and Miles, who are great, and hopefully we will be
able to help them progress!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">We had Mission
Leadership Council and talked about finding, and Joyce Tan came again and we
reviewed windows, and my faith has been renewed in them!
:) Also, because of an exchange I was able to attend the
temple again this week, I actually went to a Samoan session, so it was fun to
wear headphones. But really, I was so grateful for the opportunity to be
in the temple again. I really do love it there! The Spirit was so strong
as I sat in the celestial room. I never wanted to leave. But it did
help me feel refreshed and full of the Spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">So this week was a
great one, things are starting to happen as we continue to work
hard. But something is also changing inside of me, and it has been
for the past couple of weeks. Just the things I've experienced, the
things that I have learned and felt, all have been helping me learn and
grow. See, I loved being a missionary, but now I LOVE
being a missionary. I love this gospel, and something finally has clicked
in my brain. And I have a greater sense of urgency. I know how to
be a missionary, I've been doing it for quite some time now.
Now, I feel as though I myself am being more converted. And here
are some of the things that I have been doing that I feel have helped
that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I've been reading
Preach My Gospel, a chapter every week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I read several chapters from the Book of Mormon each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I try to read one chapter from the New
Testament everyday as well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
more engaged in all the lessons that I am in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pray for charity, so that I can have greater love for all
of God's children. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I feel the Spirit
more. I really do. I feel as though the little things (especially
reading) have made the biggest difference. I am a missionary, do I
have spare time? No. So when do I read? At lunch after I've eaten,
or at night after planning and after I've written in my journal. I feel
as though as I have made myself be more focused on the words of God, that
I think less about going home, I think more about what I can do right now to be
a better missionary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But not only
a better missionary, but also a better person. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I was telling Sister
Hurst the other day, that I don’t know what changes people will see in me when
I go home, because many of them have been/are internal, things that I did
before my mission that I didn't really like, but I am changing, and in that
way, I will be different. And I think it will be evident in my
choices. And no, I didn't come on a mission so that people could see that
I changed, I came on a mission because the Atonement of Jesus Christ had healed
me, and cleansed me, and I wanted (and still want to) give that to all I
can. Because that is the greatest gift that we can invite someone to
have. Will all receive it, sadly no. But, I go out every day and
invite others to come unto Jesus Christ, by inviting them to exercise faith in
Him, and in His atonement, to repent, to be baptized and receive the Holy
Ghost, and then to endure to the end. This is the great message that we
have to take to all who will listen, what a calling, what an honor.
It is hard. It is scary. But it is true. It is powerful. It is
full of hope. It is full of promises. And I know that. I know
that as I live it every single day. I am not perfect. Not even close.
But, I pray everyday that God will forgive me, and help me when I fall
short. And He does. I have felt the Enabling power of the Atonement
this week. There is no way that I would have been able to go through it
(being with 4 different companions throughout the week) Without His help.
It is in Him that I get strength, and it is in Him that all these miracles we
see are possible. He is the source of my joy! :) I am
so grateful for a loving Heavenly father!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And for a Savior who atoned for me! I am so grateful that our
family is eternal, and that this time apart is but a small moment when compared
to eternity!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt;">I have a quote that I
want to end with "When we become truly converted to Jesus Christ,
committed to Him, an interesting thing happens: our attention turns to the
welfare of our fellowman, and the way we treat others becomes increasingly
filled with patience, kindness, a gentle acceptance and a desire to play a
positive role in their lives. This is the beginning of true
conversion." I don't know who said that, but I know that it is
true. Because I have seen how I react and what I do in situations that
previously I would have reacted differently. I am so grateful for this
gospel, and for Jesus Christ whose atonement makes it possible for us to change
if we want to! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">First off, I can't even believe
that Trevor is home! That is really crazy to think about!!! I can't
believe that he already served for 2 years, time goes by so fast!
But I love the pictures, it looks like he is happy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that is just great! Though, I am sure adjusting is
weird, I can only imagine. Luckily for me, I still have some time before
I even have to worry about that! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week has been a GREAT
one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are so many things
happening, and well, we are really throwing ourselves into the work, and doing
all we can to find more people to teach, and I feel like the Lord trusts us,
because we are finding more and more people! But, I will talk more about that
as I go throughout my week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So, Monday night was an
adventure. We got home, and we planned, and because we were going to
the temple early Tuesday morning, Sister Hurst was going to shower that
night. The other sisters that we live with weren't home yet, which
we thought was strange, but didn't think much about it. I was
downstairs, and then all of the sudden Sister Hurst yells "Sister
Burningham, come up here right now!" She sounded a little panicked,
so I ran upstairs, and she says, "did you put a box in our bathtub?"
Umm...no...that would be weird, why would I do that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, there was a box in our bathtub....
with something inside of it, but we were too afraid to look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Haha. So, then our
roommates call us, and ask if we have seen the box yet, we say yes and they
tell us that there is a mouse in it, because they saved it (why they put it in
our bathroom, I really have NO idea!) So then we started freaking out,
and we opened the box with a hanger, and sure enough, there was a BIG
mouse/rat.... not really sure what it is. But it was gross, and so the sisters,
when they got home took the box outside, and now the mouse has a home in the
outside world. But it was a great adventure to start our week!!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Tuesday we went to the temple,
and that was just GREAT! I love the temple so much!:) We also
taught Michelle again, and also two of her kids, Morgan and Zach, who are also
interested in taking the lessons! So that was a miracle!!! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Wednesday both Sister Hurst and I
were SICK! There has been a bug going around, so that was no fun. So
we stayed in for most of the day, to get better, since we had to cause we had
things to do and Zone conference on Thursday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So Thursday was fantastic!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had our zone conference, and we all
got trained on the different style of teaching that we are, in a way, piloting,
so that was great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then
President Orgill talked to us about Agency, and it was so powerful!
But he mainly talked about how everything we do, especially the little things,
either invite the forces of darkness, or the forces of light. We either
give the adversary permission to work harder at us, or we give the forces of
light, the angels that God has promised to come and help us! He
also talked about the ways that we invite the forces of light, as we pray, and
study. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we serve and do good.
Really, as we live the gospel and try hard to do good things, we are inviting
God to come and help us even more. So, now I've been thinking, “is this
going to invite the forces of light, or darkness?” It really is
interesting to think about, because we ALL have Agency. We can do
whatever we want truly, and that is God's gift to us, and I am so
grateful! And now, I am just trying to do good! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So this week, focus on how you can
invite the forces of light into your life! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">After Zone conference, we went
contacting and there was this guy that drove past us on this little road, and
he stopped and reversed, and asked if I was holding a Bible (I was holding a
Book of Mormon). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We told him
who we were and what we do, and he told us that he had always wanted to know
what we believe, but didn't know how. So, we are going to teach him
tomorrow. His name is Ardel, and he is pretty pumped to learn more about
the gospel, so we are excited to teach him!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it was just evidence to me that we will be led to those
searching, or they will be led to us. :) What a miracle!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Friday was good! Planning day,
and all of our appointments canceled for some reason or another, but we did end
up seeing Ronnie, and taught her the plan of salvation...which you already know
because she sent you that video of me teaching. She's one funny girl, but
we love her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Saturday.... gosh, can't really
remember what happened on Saturday. :) Silly me. But,
we did have dinner with our ward mission leader, and a part member family, so that
was great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Yesterday was good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had ward conference, and then in
ward council after church it really just hit me how much is going on this area,
and how there is so much potential, and as we keep working hard ourselves and
with the ward, that this area will be blessed. I feel so grateful for the
opportunity I have to serve here in Laguna Beach. Amazing things are
going to be happening now, and in the near future. I hope I get to stick around
to see it! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">In the past week, I have seen a
change in myself, and I don't really know what started it. Maybe it is
that things are starting to happen, so I am more excited about that! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I do think a lot of it is that, but
another reason I think I can just see, and am understanding that my time on a
mission is so short. And I've worked hard my whole mission, but I feel
myself pushing harder and giving even more. (More that I didn't realize I even
had), because I truly do want to make every moment count. And so
far, it has. I am so grateful for this chance that I have right now in my
life to be a missionary! What a great thing to be doing right now!
I absolutely love it! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I
love that there are so many people who don't have the gospel, and that everyday
I go out and try to find those who are ready, who are willing to listen! What
joy comes from sharing the gospel! I love it! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I've learned so many things as I
have been a missionary, but this week I have really been blessed to have
the gift of the Holy Ghost, and everyday I learn more about how I hear it's
small voice, and how it teaches me. I am so grateful for this gift. I
think I would be so lost without it! I am also so grateful, just as you
mentioned that Trevor was, for eternal families! What a blessing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I just want people to have that!
:) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I love this gospel! I know that
it is true!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I know that it is true,
because I have asked, and I have felt the Spirit testify to me as I've read,
and as I've shared it with others!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This gospel is so amazing! I love it! :) I love it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I hope you have a great week!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week has been pretty good
one, and well, it also has been RAINING which is also great! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So this week we have been
teaching a lot of members, which means we are getting better and better at
teaching the restoration, so that is pretty exciting! :) Sister Hurst is
fabulous, and I swear she came pretrained, so it has been a blast working with
her! And I am really looking forward to the weeks ahead! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week has been good, I had
realized though that the work in Laguna was waning, and we were struggling to
find people to teach! So we've been doing all that we can, cause I know that as
we do our part, the Lord will help us with the rest. So, we've been
contacting, we've been calling former investigators, we've been asking EVERYONE
for referrals, and well we are just trying new things and going to different
areas, in hopes of getting different results! :) And we did!
This week we were able to get two new investigators!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is really fabulous! :) One of them is a
lady named Michelle, and her daughter who is 10 was baptized last year, and I'm
not sure why Michelle wasn't baptized, but we had a really great lesson with
her on Friday with one of our members, and we will be teaching her tomorrow,
and having dinner with her sometime next week, and well, it is great! And it
really does look promising! The other is a man named Abe. I
actually met him on Christmas Eve when we were downtown contacting.
When we first met him, he tried to bash with us, but we have run into him a
couple of times, and he did want to meet with us. So we were supposed to
teach him on Wednesday, but that didn't end up working out, so we ended up
teaching him on Saturday. You could tell that he felt the spirit, but he
was also trying to fight it a bit, so we are praying that his heart will be
opened so that he will accept the gospel. So that was GREAT!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And we were super pumped about that!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Also, we have received a few
referrals from members, and we will hopefully be meeting up with them this
week, and we will see where that goes!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">But, this week, just as we
have been in member’s homes and out talking to people, I have felt so blessed
to have the gospel. I am so grateful that I was born into this church.
And I am so grateful that we have the knowledge that we do. We have also
been teaching the restoration a LOT!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Which is simply great! God really does love us so much, and that
is why He brought His gospel back, so that we could have it! And He has
also given us families so that we can learn more about Him, and well, I am also
just so grateful that we have the knowledge that families are forever!
What a great message of hope! I am so glad that I am out here, and sharing that
message with all who will listen!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week has also been WET! Lots
and lots of rain this week! I've really enjoyed watching it rain! I
have missed having a change in weather, so it was nice!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And much needed! So, this week we
got rain to help with the drought in Cali, and then we are also just building
up this area, and making it be better!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Because we really can find people, there are so many who are searching,
we just have to find them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as
we do our part, we will be led to them, or they will be led to us! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I am so grateful for this gospel,
and I am so grateful for my testimony. I know that this church is truly
God's church here on the earth today. I know that He loves us, and because he
loves us, he has given us families and he has also given us people in our lives
to help us! I love that the gospel really is simple, we have faith,
we repent, we are baptized (or we keep our covenants), then we have the Holy
Ghost, and then we keep doing good, and we keep building our faith. It is
simple, hard sometimes, if we aren't doing the small things, like reading and
praying and attending church, but life is so much easier when we are living the
gospel! That is why we have it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is why it was brought back, so that this life wouldn't
be such a challenge! I am so grateful that we have it, and that it is
true!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that we can all know for
ourselves that it is true! :) I love that!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I love the plan! :) It is all just so
glorious!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So, my week was a good one! :) Lots
of things happening, and lots of things that are about to happen!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is really exciting! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">It sounds like your week was
good, and this upcoming one is also gonna be good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Super Crazy that Trevor is coming home on Thursday, I can't
even believe that, two years really isn't that long, it has gone by so fast!
:) And Nationals is next week, man, that is super fun!
I can't wait to hear all about it! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

LOVE THE LIFE YOU LIVE! And try to share this joy that you have received with
someone else, whether you are able to share your testimony, or just brighten
someone’s day, help someone else feel the love that God has for them! What a
great gift you can give to anyone! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week has been a good
one, still adjusting to the new companionship, but things are GREAT and
miracles are going to happen this transfer!!! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So, I guess I will begin with
Tuesday, we emailed, and then made some stops in Laguna Beach and did some
service for the Wittkops, and then headed up to Irvine for transfer
meeting! Which was super exciting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I got my new companion. Her name is Sister Hurst,
and she is just so great! She is from Farmington and has 4 older
brothers. She plays basketball, and she is just a super hard
worker, we both want to keep working hard and seeing miracles, so we
have been, and we will continue to, in all that we do! So,
we've been working well together, she is a solid missionary, and I already feel
like she is an experienced missionary rather than someone who just came out
into the field. So, that is great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">And so far so good, so we are
excited for this transfer, and we really have a vision of having weekly
baptisms, so now we are just praying to find those individuals who are
searching for the Gospel so that we can help them partake of the fullness of
all of God's blessings! :) Cause that is why we are here as
missionaries!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At first I wondered
why our focus was baptisms, and how we would set goals for those people that we
wanted to get baptized, but it is so important because it is the only way that
they can return to live with our Father in Heaven, and well, I want that for
myself, but I also want that for others around me, so it is just so great
that I can be a missionary, and even though not everyone listens, we talk
to everyone so that we can just find that one person, because sometimes that
one person will make a big difference in the lives around them! :) So, I'll
just keep trying to find those ones who are searching, so that they can enjoy
all the blessings that we enjoy! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">So Wednesday was good, we had
choir practice a lot this week since we had a big event on Saturday, and they
recorded it, so maybe we will get a CD or something, so that would be
cool. But practice, then we went and saw some members, because of the new
teaching style we've been trying to implement we've been practicing on members,
and I know I still have a lot of work to do, but it is becoming more natural,
and it is easier to listen to the Spirit more as we are teaching. :) So
that is great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Thursday we had district meeting
and then choir, and we also saw the Wittkops, and Ethan and Giselle, who are
just so great! They are so great! We shared the Mormon Message,
"Earthly Father Heavenly Father" with them, and it always hits me
hard, and helps me remember the trust that we should have in our Heavenly
Father, and that it should be just like the trust that little children have in
their parents! So great!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Friday we had an EXCELLENT
planning session, and this week is going to be a good one, but hard, simply
because we are pushing our selves, and well, we are going to find more people
to teach, and help more precious souls come into the gospel!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">On Saturday I had a Sister
Training Leader Council and we talked about Alma 26:22 and about the fact that
we are doing the things we need to be doing to help thousands come into
the gospel. But one of the parts we are missing, or at least we need
more of is faith. (Moroni 7:21-33) But I just realized that as we ask in
faith, and then as we go out and do all that we can, that really is possible,
it is possible for our mission to baptize thousands, as long as we have the
faith and we work hard. They did it then, why couldn't we do it
now?!?! So, now I'm praying to have more faith, and going out and
working hard! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I also had an interview with
President Orgill, just cause I've felt a little stuck in my Spiritual
progression. And one thing that hit me hard as we were talking was
the love that God has for me. It is something that I think I forget about
often. I don’t know why, I teach it nearly every day, but is something that I
struggle with feeling, But as I was talking to President Orgill, I just
felt the love of God, and I am so grateful for President Orgill, and for the
power of God (the priesthood) that helped me feel the love of God on Saturday,
and everyday since. I am so grateful as well for the atonement, and
the love that is shown in that act, and that because of the atonement, I am
made whole! I am clean! And yes, I make mistakes, but because of the Savior,
and His help, I can overcome, and I can continue to endure, because he loves
me! And that is such a miracle! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Yesterday was great.
Brian's Grandma, "Grandma Joyce" got baptized, I feel lucky to have
been able to teach her a few times while being on exchanges. And it was
just a great baptism, and she was just so happy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This gospel truly brings happiness to all those who live it
and take part of it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Such a great
blessing!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week was a WEIRD one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, I blame it on being week six of
the transfer, cause week six always seems to be a little off. And I
hope I remember some of the things we did seeing as I have a new planner, so I
can't look through last week, cause it is at my apartment.
Anyway, things are going good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh, and before I tell you about my week, I should tell you what is going
on!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I get to stay in
Laguna!! I'm really excited about that! :) And I will also be
training!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in just a few hours
I'll go pick up my new companion who was in Utah this morning! :) So that
should be really exciting, and a brand new adventure! :) But, I will be
sad to see Sister Morgan leave, she has been a great companion! But, I’ll
still get to see Sister Hedrick since we will still be living in the same
apartment, but it will be nice to only be over just one ward again! :) Covering
2 has been CRAZY!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week we went on a lot of
splits, so me and Sister Morgan would stay together, and then Sister
Hedrick would go with a member in her ward so that we could do things in both
areas, we did that Monday, Wednesday and Thursday night! So that
was good and beneficial! We were also able to see a less active
lady this week that we haven't seen since me and Sister Morgan got to Laguna
beach, so that was great! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">We also had our usual choir
practice on Thursday, which by the way, was just kinda a weird day
cause I cannot believe that I have been a missionary for a year!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is just so crazy to me, it has in
many ways gone by so fast, especially this past week, every morning I would
wake up and be like, "wow, how is it already Wednesday? Or Friday or
Sunday?” The days are starting to fly! Which is just crazy,
but I am really excited that I'll get to train for the next 2 transfers,
because I get to go back to the basics and just continue to become
a better missionary! I am really excited because when I trained
before, I felt like I was the best missionary that I have been so far, and I
really felt the Spirit a lot more, so those are just bonuses, even though it
isn't always easy, there will be so much for me to learn! I am really excited
about that! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Let’s see, our Valentines Day
was...really weird. We did our weekly planning, and then I had a meeting,
and while we were at the church, the fire alarm went off, which was super weird
cause there was no one else in the building except for us, and so we all went
outside, and after like 3 minutes the fire alarm stopped, but firemen still
came, and asked us how we turned it off, but we hadn't touched it... so that
was weird! And I guess we are just really good at setting the fire alarm off on
the Holidays ;) We had dinner with this really nice lady in our
ward, and then we were supposed to give a treat to one of the young women in
our ward, but couldn't find her house, and there were SO MANY people in Laguna
Beach, it was crazy!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But no
one wanted to talk to us (well, they were all on dates, so it is
understandable, but it was no fun for us!) So, at the end of the
night we went home and well, I think there are just some days when, as a
missionary you wish that there weren't holidays, so that people would be more
receptive all the time, but that's ok. I'm glad that we still have holidays,
and I'm glad that Valentines Day is over. haha!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Lets see...I honestly really
can't remember much of last week, which is sad, but we've just been trying to
get Sister Morgan packed and still trying to help my brain be ready for the
fact that I'm getting a brand new missionary! In like 6 hours,
so ya, I should keep prepping my brain for that! :) Well, it sounds like this
week should be a fun one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good
luck at the competition Kenna! I am sure you will do great! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Haha, oh Ronnie, Ronnie is great,
in fact she is trying to call me right now, but she won’t tell me why...but, we
don't have much time at the library today, so will call her back soon, but yea,
she is in Utah right now!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, she
is doing good!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Also, we are still teaching Ethan
and Giselle, and they are still super solid!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just trying to get permission from their dad, but yesterday
we were at their house and Ethan was asking us questions about being a
missionary, and talking about where he would like to go, and he is 12!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And not even baptized yet, but they are
stellar! :) I hope that they will be able to be baptized soon!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">This week should be a good but
interesting one for us. Because over half of our ward is in Utah because
they have the week off for "ski week" which is a pretty silly week to
have off...plus they still get spring break in a few months, so that is just
crazy, but we'll just be talking to lots and lots of people!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should be really fun! :) But,
Laguna Beach is great! I get to see the ocean everyday! But
the work here is really moving! It is one of the highest baptizing
areas in our mission! So that is fun! Our Bishop is just on
fire, and he is just so focused on missionary work, so that is great! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The members are really awesome, the
youth are stellar!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot of
our baptisms come from the youth, just because they are such good examples
and really friendly with everyone at the high school! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, the work here is really
great, it has been slow the past few weeks for us because we haven't been
able to put all of our focus towards it, since we've been covering two
wards, so it will be good again when we can just focus on our ward
and area! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">Miracles are going to
happen! I can just feel it! It will take a lot of hard work, but Good
things are coming! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, things
are looking bright! :) And I am really excited for this next
transfer! It will simply be great! :)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt;">I realized this week, once again,
how blessed I am to have this gospel in my life, to have been born into it!
:) It is so great, and the greatest part is that it is Christ's
original church!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that it has
been brought back, all because God loves us and wants us to return to Him! It
is so great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is just such a
blessing to have the gospel! I love it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is so great!!!!! :) So, keep living it,
keep doing good things! And have a GREAT week!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
