The Sky is Falling

 The week of June 23 - June 29

We had our last Staff Meeting with the McKay's.  It was a little emotional as we all said our Good-byes.  Tuesday the Beecher's arrived and came into the office to meet everyone.  They already knew the Witham's and Sister Cannon, they are both from their Stake at home.

It was a quick hand off as the next day the McKay's left and it was Zone Conference Week.  Talk about hitting the road running.  Early that morning we got a call from the Elders in Bella Villa.  There ceiling fell in,  What?! One Elder was in the shower and the other was getting dressed.  They heard a load noise and walked into the Living Room and the ceiling was on the floor.  We made sure they weren't hurt and that they were okay.  We told them to get ready for the day and get to Zone Conference, we'd take care of it.  So President Beecher's first official call was, "The Elder's ceiling fell in."






Zone Conference was amazing.  One of the things that impressed me was at the closing session he called on a missionary and asked them to open up the Book of Mormon to any page.  Just random, pick a page in the Book of Mormon.  And then gave a short message from that page.  We got to be in that part of the conference all three days and each day was totally different.  On the day we stayed the whole time, we noticed how well the message he gave from a random scripture, fit into the rest of the things that had been taught that day.  The Lord is in the very details of the Mission.

Saturday we took a tour of the Fabulous Fox Theater.  And that is really what they call it.  It is gorgeous! Built in 1927.  When it opened it showed Silent Movies with a real organ playing the music in the back ground.  The guy came and played the organ for us.  He was so entertaining and the organ was amazing.













We had to leave the tour a few minutes early because we had a baptism to get to with our Ward.  So we rushed off and got there just in time before the baptism started.  

After the baptism we were sitting in the car deciding what we needed to do next and Madelyn drove up.  She had been on her way home and the spirit told her to go back and take the Beesley's out to lunch.  She was so cute telling us how strongly the Spirit had told her to take us out to lunch.  We had a great time with her.  We love her.

 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...

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...
