Sister Heather Sue

Family! 

 

I hit my 4 month mark and I realized that time is flying by really fast. I don't want to take this name tag off! Ever. I love being a missionary, I LOVE the people. I probably shouldn't be thinking about these things, but Missionary Work is addicting. Good thing member missionaries can be full time too! 

We have been searching this week! We've talked to A LOT of people. We were street contacting on "walking day" and Sister Dorneles felt like we should knock at a specific house, when the man answered, he told us how he felt he had no purpose in life, well that's a perfect segue for the BOOK of MORMON! After we talked about it and the peace it brings into our Life, he started to cry. The spirit just poured over this little door step lesson as we talked and I could feel just some of Heavenly Fathers love for him. We are going to meet with him again this week :) We also now have a 92 year old investigator after we sang Happy Birthday to her she opened up and we were able to share the gospel. Like the saying goes "They don't care how much we know...until we SHOW how much we Care" It's true. We are trying to focus on finding more people prepared to hear the gospel. So we are kind of starting from scratch again...it’s a whole new adventure every day. 

 We had a special "Butter-fly" training meeting just for Sister today. We had an awesome Yoga session with an instructor and just learned how we can present ourselves better....my posture is really slacking lately...I look like I'm ready to hike a football when I'm teaching a lesson, so it's a nice reminder. 

 I don't know how but we ran into Jason again....the man that proposed to me. Seriously what are the odds? Turns out he's been reading the Book of Mormon and was even quoting passages to me. He twisted everything into marriage and the reasons why he's the one for me but I was very excited to hear he's been reading and praying!...so we might send the Elders over to teach him more :) 

 Thank you soo much for your emails/pictures. Holy cow, I was just blown away by HOW OLD everyone is looking. TODD...I might have teared up seeing you so Manlike, Congrats on the Eagle Scout award!  I'm so proud! Jennifer you are so BEAUTIFUL and I am blown away by your beauty! Rachel you look so MATURE and grown up and gorgeous (nice nail polish btw, matched your outfit perfectly) :) Loved the pre-school spa prep, its a must ;) Good luck with your week! Remember that you are daughters...and a Son of Heavenly Father! Look for opportunities to share the gospel in Russet land! 

 

I love you all soo much! 

Sending hugs and kisses from the East
