The Drive to Missouri

-

 We left the MTC on Saturday August 17th.  Our plan was to arrive in Missouri on Monday, but after driving for 2 days we were tired and decided to do some sightseeing on Monday, to break things up.

So Monday we stopped in Independance and went through the Visitors Center there.  It was fun to talk to the senior missionaries there as they took us on a tour.





Next we headedd to Liberty Jail, and took the tour there.






Then on to Adam-ondi-Ahman.  There were acres and acres of green grass, trees and flowers.  There was such a sweet, peaceful feeling there we didn't want to leave.







We arrived at the Mission Office on Tuesday where we met the senior missionaries that work there.  They gave us the keys to our apartment and updated us on a few things.  We were off to see where we would live for the next year!

 The week of June 16 - June 22 Transfer week.  We picked up these sweet sisters at the Hotel to take them to the airport to go home.  We were taking 4 of the sisters early and then come back for 3 others later.  They were having breakfast when we got there we let them finish and then I said, "Okay, it's time to go."  They hugged each other over and over again.  Then they did one big group hug and when I walked over to them, they were praying together right there in the hotel breakfast room.  It was the sweetest thing.  A few tears and we were off to the airport. The Dodges came, a senior couple working at the Family History Library and Sister Cannon came, a single senior sister working in the office.   Friday we went back to Hillsboro to finish us the  apartment.  I was not looking forward to cleaning it.  It has felt so dirty and gross when we were there last week, I didn't want to do it.  Right before we left I rem...

The Mission Call

We got notification of our mission call as I was getting on a plane to Utah to visit two of my High School girl friends.  I was so excited!! But ... I really wanted to be with Dan when we opened our letter, so we decided to wait till I got home in 3 days to open it.  It was all planned and the kids were ready to Zoom and watch us open it when my flight got delayed for three hours.  That put me home around 11:00pm.  So we went with play B and set it up for the next morning.  All the kids were on line as we opened our up mission call. WE ARE HEADED TO  THE MISSOURI, ST. LOUIS MISSION!! Stay tuned for great adventures to come!

Week of May 19 - 25 Zone Conference Week. I was called on to share my Hymn testimony at Zone Conference.  A Hymn testimony is a your testimony using only lines from the Hymn's.  It was actually harder to do than I thought it would be.  But here's mine. There is Sunshine in my Soul today for I am a Child of God I know my father lives and loves me too. My heart shall triumph in my Lord I know that my redeemer Lives I stand all amazed at the Love Jesus offers me Once all things He meekly bore I tremble to know that for me He was crucified He has risen Christ has won the victor I'll worship Him with all my might For Jesus is my Light Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer I need thee every hour Constant He is and kind for one brief moment heavens vies  Appears before my gaze My Savior to my aid will come Until at the glorious throng I kneel at His feet Praying daily in our homes God hears my secret prayers We'll feel His Love divine Leading to our home in heaven Where we want to...
