Can you believe it is almost Christmas?!? I guess I can't
believe it because it is still 70 degrees and there is no snow on the ground.
It is kind of sad actually but I know that this Christmas will be a good one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week was great! I was able to go to the temple with my
companion on Friday, and then to also go caroling with my zone. Transfer calls
were last night and Hermana Merrell and I are staying together! WOOHOO!! We are
excited because we love the ward and our investigators are great. The area is
really progressing and it is just a fun environment to serve in! The weird
thought is that I will most likely end my mission here in Rowlett. CRAZY!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We continue to knock and find people it is amazing and such
a testimony builder. Even if we don't get a return appointment with them, it
just makes me happy to have the opportunity to testify to everyone about the
restored gospel. The "He is the Gift," is working out great. A lot of
people have been sharing it with their friends and less active members of the
ward. As missionaries in the ward, we decided to do an activity with each of
the members so that they can really experience and accept the gift of Jesus
Christ this Christmas season. It has been a lot of fun to get close to these
members and to feel of their love and to help them have their own missionary
experiences!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomorrow we are having a mission wide Christmas party/
goodbye party for the missionaries that are leaving! It is going to be a good
break from the normal missionary days. We continue to go caroling with our zone
and at every door we always try to sing new songs but "We wish you a Merry
Christmas" is the only song that ever comes out! Oh well! I love you all
so much and good luck with those that have finals this week!</div>

Well family, it has been a rainy and snowy week here in the
Texas Dallas Mission. I am in some need of some good ole sunshine, but I don't
think that is going to happen for awhile. My week was great, kind of long, but
sometimes you have those weeks and they just push you and stretch you to be a
little bit better, so in the end I am grateful for them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had exchanges this week and Hermana Maxfield came here.
We were in a trio for about a day and a half. It was so fun to be with her and
Hermana Watts (she trained Hermana Watts) so I know that she was really excited
too. We had a good day, knocking in the rain and teaching a few lessons. It is
also fun to have a "missionary sleep over" as well, it gives you a
little break from the normal missionary schedule. We also had an AMAZING zone
meeting on Friday. The last Zone Meeting of my mission. (It is weird, I am now
starting all these "lasts" of my mission!) I can't even comprehend
time anymore. Our zone leaders gave awesome trainings! Elder Nish read the book
"You are special" about the Wimmicks and the stickers. He talked
about how we are all children of God and that it doesn't matter what anyone
thinks but us! Elder James trained on being superhero missionaries. It was a
good "pump up" meeting which I think is what everyone needed after
these 2 weeks of just awful weather. I had to give my final training too, it
was hard to make it through it, but I think it went pretty well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had an amazing lesson with Lupe! She is so prepared! I am
sad I won't be here to watch her continue to grow in the gospel, but I already
made her add me as a friend of Facebook, so we can keep in touch. We talked to
her about the Word of Wisdom and then ended up talking about baptisms for the
dead. It was kind of random, but it worked out really well. She loves the idea
of Family History and giving her family that has passed away another chance at
accepting the gospel. Our other investigator Hector is not doing well at all\.
He is just in and out of the hospital all the time and we haven't been able to
meet with him. It was a hard week because of that. We pretty much spent a good
part of Saturday trying to hunt him down. We aren't sure what to do in this
situation, so we have talked to President Taylor and he has given us some good
advice. It just makes me sad the whole situation but I know that Heavenly
Father has a plan for everyone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Saturday we have a baptism of a part member family, so
I am excited to spend my last Saturday on my mission with a baptism. I am so
excited for this family, the are truly making the best changes to their lives.
The gospel is amazing and changes lives, I have a strong testimony of that. I
am so excited for the last week I have to be a missionary. I never want this
week to end! I love you all so much!</div>

Well family and friends, this week was a little bit
harder than the past few because we were stuck inside a lot with the
crazy weather that we have been having. All of Texas shuts down when
they even start to see snow flurries, so it has been a slow week. There
were ice storms as well and it just has been so cold and wet! My
companion and I had a lot of time to clean the apartment, read our
scriptures, read just about every Ensign from the past 2 years and watch
some good old church movies! It was kind of a slow week and I could
tell that my companion was just getting restless, but we are out now and
working. This week is going to be a good one, I can just feel it.</div>
<br />
This
week taught us a lot of patience in the Lord's timing! Our investigator
cancelled his baptism because he couldn't leave his house and receive
his chemo so he was feeling very weak. Last night we went over and he
told us that he just wants to pass away. It was so hard to hear. We are
most likely going to have his baptism this week and it won't be anything
big, but he just really wants to get baptized and he doesn't know how
long he is going to live for. It breaks my heart but we are keeping him
in our prayers. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us!</div>
<br />
Yesterday
was my final fast and testimony meeting as a missionary, so I decided
to bear my testimony and I didn't even get through the first sentence
before I started to cry. It was rough! I love this ward so much and so
many of them are like my family. I am really grateful for this area and
for all the support that we have from the members. Also, one of the less
actives that we have been working with came to sacrament meeting and
bore her testimony as well. Her son is going to get baptized my last
Saturday in the mission and I am so excited! </div>
<br />
This upcoming
week is just going to be wonderful! I am excited for all the work I
still need to do here in Rowlett. Thanks for all the love and support!</div>
<br />

Well transfers were almost a week ago and Hermana Merrell got
the call that she was leaving. Sitting in transfer meeting on Tuesday
morning was the most stressful thing, just waiting for your name to pop
up on the screen with your new companion, I swear I have an anxiety
attack every time. My new companion is Hermana Watts. She is from a tiny
tiny town in COLORADO! We are representing Colorado here in Rowlett,
Texas. She came out with Hermana Walton, the Hermana that I trained, so
she has been out for about 7 months now. It has been different
adjusting, but with every new companion it always takes a few days! I
love her though and we are working hard and having fun! She has such a
desire to work hard and have fun and also have no regrets so we are just
running around crazy busy! It is awesome!<br /><br />We had a great week!
Practically our whole zone got transferred, so there will be some more
new people to meet at Zone meeting. We had a great week as far as
teaching lessons. We found an amazing woman named Sara, and she told us
that she has such a desire to learn what is right. Then we met a lady
from Peru who is just broken because she is fighting with her
ex-husband. She is so humble and just so sweet! She also invited us to
her son's birthday party this next weekend. She met some members in our
ward that are also from Peru and she loved them. We also have this
amazing family, the mom is just amazing and so friendly to us. I love
just having the opportunity to teach lessons to people and seeing their
faith grow and their lives change.<br /><br />Last month, President Taylor
has focus on The Book of Mormon, and this month he is having us focus on
inviting people to church and family history. It has been so fun
contacting people with an "invite to church." Most of them are willing
to accept, whether they come or not that is their decision, but most of
them are super nice about it. Family history is amazing too. We are
planning a temple trip with the youth on February 21st and they are all
preparing names to go. We are bringing some of our recent converts and
re-activated less actives with us! <br /></div>
I hope everyone has a
fabulous week and I hope everyone knows that I love them. Thanks for all
the prayers, emails and letters! I love this gospel and I know that
living it truly brings joy to our lives. Thanks for everything, have a
great week!<br /><br />Hermana Cattich<br /></div>

Hello everyone, this week was one to remember in the Texas
Dallas Mission, I mean the Texas Dallas Heaven. Life is just so good right now.
First of all, we received transfer calls this morning and Hermana Merrell is
leaving, we won't find out where until tomorrow morning at the transfer
meeting. It is going to be weird that I am now starting my last 6
weeks/transfers of my mission....okay I am not going to talk about it anymore!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week we had the privilege to hear from Elder Nelson and
he was accompanied by Elder Lynn G. Robbins. We had to be at the meeting house
at 6am because we drove with the Casalinda Hermanas and they were in the choir
so they had to practice. Well we were the first ones there, we even beat the
seminary students. When everyone in the mission arrived we all split up and
took turns taking group pictures with both of them. We were out in the hall
waiting for our turn and then when they told me to go into the gym I saw Elder
Nelson, it was almost a surreal experience but it was awesome. They had us all
lined up and we all got to shake his hand.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Elder Robbins talked about taking up our "cross
daily" and becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. He used a lot of cross
references in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon. It was really cool and
uplifting. He also talked about enduring to the end. He used the quote that
"Success if going from failure to failure without loosing any
enthusiasm." That is so true especially in life. We will each have our
struggles but we can overcome them all, and we just need to realize that
success is not always something that we can physically see but it is something
that we can feel. Also, how partaking of the sacrament is an ordinance of enduring
to the end and failing but never loosing enthusiasm. Every week, we have all
made mistakes and "failed" a little bit but we always renew our
baptismal covenants with a hope and a knowledge that the atonement will help us
all through our life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Elder Nelson talked about the 12 tribes of Israel and our
inheritance. He talked about having a vision for our lives and if we have a
vision we need to know where we came from. He went on to talk about the 12
tribes and how each of us have a responsibility in this life and that we were
all sent here in this time for a reason. What he said was a little different
then what I thought he would say, but I know that it was inspired. I actually
learned some really cool things and now I have a strong desire to read and study
the Pearl of Great Price and also really work in the temples after my mission
and do work for my family. The meeting was great and of course it was amazing
to be in the presence of a member of the 12 apostles. Life is just oh so good.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So yesterday, after church we decided that we were going to
stop by and some of the less actives that live near the church. Sadly, none of
them were home, so we decided that we would go out to Rockwall and knock a
little bit. Well we got a little lost but we found a new apartment complex that
looked really promising! We decided to knock there and after a few doors
everyone was pretty much not interested! Well, the next door a lady opened the
door and let us right in. She was talking about how her son needed help with homework
because she didn't understand English and how we were an answer to her prayers.
So we helped her little boy finish is project and started talking to her about
the gospel! She is amazing and is a single mom of 2 little kids. I am so
excited to work with them next week! We also had an awesome lesson with la
Familia Castillo and we brought some members with us and we talked about the
Book of Mormon. It was a great end to an awesome week!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomorrow morning we are going to transfer meeting and we
will find out who our new companions are. I think everyone is a little nervous
because practically the whole mission is getting transferred. I am excited to
get one last companion for my last transfer! I love being a missionary and I
love this gospel! Have a great week!</div>

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!? To celebrate my mirthday, tomorrow we are going to have interviews with President Taylor in Dallas! Interviews are the best becuase you just get 10 minutes to talk to President Taylor about everything that is going on in your life and with missionary work. He is so inspired by Heavenly Father, it is amazing talking to him and him giving you counsel and advice for your life and mission. I absolutely love it, sometimes I wish the interview could be all day!</b></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;">The Book of Mormon Initiative is going great! We are getting a lot of positive responses from the ward about the challenge to read the Book of Mormon as a family in 4 months. It has brought a lot of strength to the ward and you can tell their testimony is being strengthened. Hermana Merrell and I are having a lot of fun knocking doors and testifying about the Book of Mormon and anyone that lets us in, that is what we teach! It has been a lot of fun because really a lot of people have heard about the Book of Mormon but really don't know anything about it. It is also crazy to hear all the weird things people have heard about it!</b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;">We had a really cool experience on Saturday night! Well Saturday was just a really really long day. Everything we had was cancelled and no one was home when we were knocking doors. So we decided to go to Rockwall, which is kind of far, and try some people out there (investigators and less actives) and no one was home! It was so discouraging! So at 8pm, we decided that we were just done knocking doors and trying to find people home, so we decided to just call EVERYONE! (Members, investigators, less actives) anyone we could and invite them to church and if they were members we would tell them that we were excited to see them at church! Well the next morning at 11 am, the chapel was full of people. We had 4 investigators in church and 2 of them were unplanned. It was full of members and less actives and the spirit was just so strong. I love this ward, they all feel like my family. </b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<b style="background-color: black;">Another cool experience, so there was a family that I was really close to in Carrollton and they have a son who wasn't sure if he wanted to go on a mission but he was leaning more towards the "no" side. Well anyways, us as missionaries always invited him to the missionary meetings and preparation day activities to try and excite him about possibly serving a mission. Well last week I got an email from him saying that he has just received his mission call and he is leaving in 3 weeks and then today I got an email from him saying that he went through the temple this past week with his family! SO COOL! I love being a missionary! </b></div>

<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">

<div>
<div>
<div>
I love my mission. I don't have much time to write
today, but I want you all to know that I love each and everyone of you
and I am so grateful for you all in my life. This week was a little bit
more challenging as the sun has not come out and it has been freezing
cold, but hey when you are doing the Lord's work you will always be
happy at the end of the day,<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
This past week we had to "give
up" our baptismal date because it turns out that he doesn't live in our
area. So yesterday night we had a lesson with him and the Elders that
are going to be teaching him, and it was just like a really weird
experience giving him up. But I know that he will continue to grow in
this gospel and I am excited to attend his baptism when that day comes.
We were really struggling with letting him go and then also, our other
baptismal date had been ignoring us ever since he has been home from El
Salvador. After the lesson with David, we decided to try Hector one more
time. We were outside of his house and we decided to pray that he would
open the door and let us in, and guess what?!? HE DID! It was a
miracle! We had stopped by a few other times earlier this past week and
he was completely ignoring us, but he finally let us in and we had a
great lesson with him. We recommitted him to baptism and so hopefully he
will be baptized before this transfer is over.<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
There was
also a Mission Leadership Council and they announced that Elder Russell
M. Nelson will be coming to our mission on January 30th, so we are all
super excited. There are exciting things happening here in the Texas
Dallas Mission, and I am so excited to be working here in this part of
the Lord's vineyard. Love you all so much and thank you for all your
emails! They really make my week! There is no work like missionary work!<br /></div>

<div>
<div>
Hola familia y amigos!<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Bienvenido a 2015!
Can y'all believe it, because I can't! But hey, life just keeps moving
forward I guess, I just wish it would slow down every once in awhile.
Well to welcome in the New Year, the Taylor's (my mission president and
wife), didn't even skip a beat! We are doing a whole new initiative for
the month of January as a mission. This month it is all about the Book
of Mormon. There are several parts to the initiative. First, we are
reading the whole book of Mormon in 40 days. We started on Christmas and
we will end at the end of this transfer. Second, we are sharing a video
with all the members, less actives and investigators, about the Book of
Mormon, and third, when we contact people on the street that is all we
are talking about. The Book of Mormon is something that sets us apart
from all the other churches and so many people have heard about it, but
when you ask them a question about it, they just have so many
misconceptions about it. So the purpose of this initiative is to clear
up those misconceptions, testify of the Book of Mormon, and to "flood"
Texas Dallas Mission with the Book of Mormon! Also we have a goal as a
mission to invite 40,000 people to read the Book of Mormon. It is quite
an exciting challenge, but all the missionaries have responded really
well to it and so has our ward!<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
We were asked to get the
ward involved in asking their friends about the Book of Mormon and
inviting them to read it as well. We have been giving out pass along
cards to the members and they have been really excited about it! Also,
we have a goal to read the Book of Mormon as a ward in 4 months,
starting today as FHE and ending in the beginning of May. It was so cool
to hand out the reading schedules yesterday and to see all of their
reactions. They seem really committed to doing it, we will just have to
remind them every Sunday! The bishop is also super supportive about the
goal as a ward, it is so nice because he is just so willing to support
the missionary efforts. <br /></div>
<br />
This week we finally set a
baptismal date with our 22 year old investigator for the 7th of
February. We are so excited for him and last night we brought a YSA girl
with us and taught him the Word of Wisdom. He was really receptive to
it and accepted it right away. What a miracle! Heavenly Father is
preparing people every where!<br />
<div>
<br /> </div>
<div>
I can't believe that I am
sitting at this computer again writing another email. The time is just
flying! I am so happy to be here in this ward, with my companion,
serving this bishop, ward members and with the other missionaries. I can
see the positive effects of our labors everyday, and it is amazing. I
hope that everyone has a great week. I know that the Book of Mormon is
true and that it is another testament of Jesus Christ! I am so excited
for the opportunity that I have just to focus on it for the month of
January. The peace that I feel every morning after reading it is just
amazing, and I know that this book can guide us and give us direction in
our life today! Thank you for all the love and support! I hope everyone
has fun going back to school!<br /></div>

Merry Late Christmas and Happy New Year!
Wow this week has been crazy and really just flew. After not having
talked to my parents for 7 months, it was so weird to see them on Skype
for Christmas Day. I feel like the longer you are out on your mission,
the less real your family feels, they become more like a dream/memory,
but hey I still love them!<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Throughout this week we did
a lot of service at a food pantry, sorting food and helping them
organize everything for the start of the New Year. It was a lot of fun,
and I feel like service just helps you really feel the Christmas spirit.
The people were so thankful for all the work that we do there as
missionaries. I think all the missionaries in our zone serve there, so
it is a lot of fun! The Stake President and his family were there as
well serving, so it was good to talk to them for a little while. <br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Christmas
was great! My companion and I woke up early and opened our presents
that we had and then we got ready for the Christmas Zone Meeting at the
church. We decided to do a pancake breakfast and ping pong tournament,
so we all met up at the church at 9 am. It was just so relieving to be
around missionaries that are in the same position as you, where they
don't have their families so all you have is each other. Our zone
leader, we only have one this transfer, did an awesome training and then
we acted out the Nativity. Afterwards we all ran home to Skpye our
families. It was just so weird! I can't believe that that was my last
Skype session with my family on my mission, it seemed like just a few
months ago I was doing my first Skype with them.<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
For
Christmas night, we went and ate dinner with a family in the ward and
then stopped by some less actives. We also wrote thank you cards for the
members in our ward and passed them out as well. It was cool to get
such a positive reaction from some many members about the thank you
cards in church on Sunday. Hispanics love to throw parties, so we were
invited to so many and when we knocked on doors even Hispanics that
didn't know us invited us in for some food! (Kinda weird but super
awesome!) We were knocking on doors and we decided to stop by an old
investigator and right when they opened the door, they let us in and
gave us a huge plate of Flautas (one of my favorites!) and invited us to
watch soccer with them! Hispanic people are just so funny and so
welcoming! </div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
The rest of the week was pretty normal,
except for the fact that on Saturday night our ward mission leader told
me that I was to give a 15 minute talk in sacrament meeting, in Spanish,
the next day! Oh goodness. It actually turned out pretty well and I got
a lot of compliments from the ward members. I love serving in this
area, the ward is just so welcoming and they love the missionaries. It
is a pretty small ward, but that just means there is a lot to be done! I
love you all and I wish you all a Happy New Year!<br /></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Well everyone Christmas is in finally here and with no snow
on the ground it feels like any other week but I am so excited to Skype with my
family on Christmas! The Christmas season is amazing and the Taylor's (My
mission president and his wife) are WONDERFUL! We had a mission party last
Tuesday to say goodbye to the Elders and Sisters that were going home the next
day and to also celebrate Christmas. They made us all (270 missionaries)
breakfast and then we had a Christmas devotional and transfers. We sang
Christmas songs and watched Christmas videos, I will attach them to this email
so that you can watch them. Saying goodbye to missionaries for transfers is
always hard, especially because I have known a lot of them since I have been
out. But it is crazy to think that I will see them one day again, whether at
school or just in some random place, it will be a happy reunion.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our whole mission has memorized the "Living
Christ", and what a task that has been for me. I honestly think that I
have never read the Living Christ all the way through before my mission, but
when President Taylor invited us all to memorize it for the Christmas season
about a month ago, I was excited for the challenge. The whole mission came
together and we filmed us reciting the "Living Christ" so I will
attach that as well. I love the Living Christ now and I love the power of the
testimonies of the living day prophets and apostles. My voice echoes their
testimony of "I know that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of
God." What an amazing time of year it is to be here and to be a
missionary. Representing Jesus Christ and his true church upon the earth. I
don't think anything will give me more joy this holiday season! I love my
mission and everyone that I have met. I am thankful for the opportunity that I
have had to come closer to my Savior, Jesus Christ and to personally see his
hand in my life. What an amazing adventure this past year, the year of my
mission, has been!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a really cool experience this past week as well. We
are teaching a family and the dad is really opposed to religion so they have
been a work in progress. The mother and daughter have been really sick and so
when we taught them on Wednesday night, we told them about priesthood
blessings. They willingly accepted and the following night we went by with our
ward mission leader and another hermano from the ward. We knocked on the door,
but sadly didn't see any lights on in the apartment. Hermana Merrell and I were
nervous that they weren't home. After we knocked for a few more minutes, the
wife answered the door. Their electricity had been turned off because they
couldn't pay the bill. There were only 2 candles lit throughout the apartment.
They (the mom and the daughter) were both able to receive blessings, and the
spirit was so strong in that little candle lit apartment. It was a very cool
experience on my mission.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, and know that I
love each and everyone of you. Thank you for all your love, prayers and support
on my mission. Here is to the last 3 months that I have, I am sure it will be
the best 3 months of my life!</div>

Can you believe it is almost Christmas?!? I guess I can't
believe it because it is still 70 degrees and there is no snow on the ground.
It is kind of sad actually but I know that this Christmas will be a good one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week was great! I was able to go to the temple with my
companion on Friday, and then to also go caroling with my zone. Transfer calls
were last night and Hermana Merrell and I are staying together! WOOHOO!! We are
excited because we love the ward and our investigators are great. The area is
really progressing and it is just a fun environment to serve in! The weird
thought is that I will most likely end my mission here in Rowlett. CRAZY!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We continue to knock and find people it is amazing and such
a testimony builder. Even if we don't get a return appointment with them, it
just makes me happy to have the opportunity to testify to everyone about the
restored gospel. The "He is the Gift," is working out great. A lot of
people have been sharing it with their friends and less active members of the
ward. As missionaries in the ward, we decided to do an activity with each of
the members so that they can really experience and accept the gift of Jesus
Christ this Christmas season. It has been a lot of fun to get close to these
members and to feel of their love and to help them have their own missionary
experiences!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tomorrow we are having a mission wide Christmas party/
goodbye party for the missionaries that are leaving! It is going to be a good
break from the normal missionary days. We continue to go caroling with our zone
and at every door we always try to sing new songs but "We wish you a Merry
Christmas" is the only song that ever comes out! Oh well! I love you all
so much and good luck with those that have finals this week!</div>

(I really need to get better at starting my emails!) First off, I was able to go back to my old area, Carrollton, for a baptism of Lily Quintana. It was amazing! I was able to help Lily out of the font after Elder James baptized her and she also asked me to speak on the Holy Ghost. It was a great baptismal service, and a ton of missionaries were able to return to see her be baptized!</span><br />

We showed them the "He is the Gift" They loved it and then we went back and taught them the Restoration. The husband of the family seemed closed off to us the first few times that we went over, but after we explained the Restoration, he opened up to us. He told us that he had started to feel a peace in his home since we have been stopping by. It was amazing, and his wife wants to come to church so bad, we just have to work out some problems because he works on Sundays, but we are praying for a miracle. They are really impressed with what we do as missionaries. We are also teaching a 22 year old that has been coming to church and he went to the baptism that the elders had last night. It was a really good experience for him and he has a lot of really solid questions. he searches for his answers as well. It's exciting to see someone my age be so excited in the gospel. Hector, our older man with cancer that we are teaching, is going back to El Salvador for 3 weeks so sadly he won't be here over the holiday season. He always makes us laugh, and the members just love it!</span></div>

<div style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<span style="background-color: #38761d;">I was able to go on exchanges with Hermana Maxfield (like my best friend in the mission) and we just had a great day sharing the gospel, talking and catching up on all that has happened on the mission. We are contacting people now using the "He is the Gift" video and people love it. Hermana Merrell and I were knocking one day and 2 guys that were a little under the influence of drugs answered the door, but Hermana Merrell said that we needed to share the video with everyone so we decided to show it to them. After the video, one of them freaked out saying it was the best video that he has ever seen. It was super fun! It is those little laughs that make it all worth it! I sure love you all and hope that you are having fun getting ready for the holiday season. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Well, this week was another great one! I love Rowlett Texas so much! It is the perfect little Texas town and there is just so many nice people here. The ward is amazing and has really caught the vision of sharing the gospel. It is a small ward, really small actually, but they have such strong testimonies of the gospel, it is amazing! Thanksgiving was wonderful on the mission! I can't believe that this is my second Thanksgiving. I remember sitting at last Thanksgiving with my trainer, and thinking to myself that the next year was going to drag on, but just a blink of an eye later, it's Thanksgiving again and I am training. We had a great day though. We got fed a ton and laughed alot too. The members had a "Turkey Cup" to play soccer in the morning and so the missionaries went to go talk with all the ward members and one of the Hermanos just brought out a Turkey and slammed it on the table and began slice up some good pieces of turkey, it was super funny. We were able to eat a lot and enjoy some really good company! I love being a missionary at this time!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We are working with 2 amazing people right now. One is Hector and he is just AMAZING! He has been meeting with the missionaries for a long time now and we finally have a baptismal date with him. His progress has been really rapid in the church but he has lung cancer and he has to get chemo every week so he has missed out on a few lessons and church attendance, so we have had to move more slowly with him. He has come to church every week though since I have been here and he comes to all the church activities. For example, last night the Heath Texas Stake put on a choir concert for the Christmas season and so we all went to that and had a grand ole time! The other awesome person we are working with is David. He is 22 and has so much curiosity in finding the true church. He came to church yesterday and really loved it. It is so cool to see a person that is the same age as me have so much interest in church, you don't really find that now a day. I am excited to work with him, we might try and get him to do to the YSA ward though so he could be with people that are more of his age! We were also given a name of a part member family to work with from the Bishop. The family just moved from California and they are super cool. We stopped by with them on Thanksgiving and we have a Family Home Evening with them tonight! WOOHOO!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It is so fun to be a missionary right now because I feel like people are more open to listen to a message about Jesus Christ, when this is the season that we need to be making him the center of our lives. We had a zone meeting this week and let me just say the church is amazing! Recently, our church has made a video for Christmas and now all the missionaries are working so hard to share this video with EVERYONE! We are sharing it with people that we meet while contacting, dinner appointments with members, less actives, investigators, just EVERYONE! So I invite you all to check out this video as well and share it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and just anywhere you can! I will put the link to the video at the end, but it is an amazing short video that can really bring the spirit of Christmas into your home! The church has released this called, "He is the gift" and with it they are going to take over YouTube for a day, on December 7th, and also in Time Square, have billboards for the video. It is so awesome! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I forgot to add that this week one of my old companions came back to the mission and suprised me! It was so good to see Hermana McDaniel! She was here for Thanksgiving with her family. So weird to see an old companion not dressed as a missionary with a tag, but still awesome to see her. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and takes the time to share this video with everyone and watch it as a family for family home evening. I love you all so much!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The church has released a video called, "He is the Gift." Our mission president has asked us to share it with EVERYONE! Post in on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest, anyway you can! He wants us to talk to people about Christ and remember the true meaning of Christmas. It is easy to talk about Christ, during this time of year. <br />
<br />
As the Christmas spirit is in full blow, it is important to remember who we are really celebrating for. Keep the Christ in Christmas and help others feel it as well. Discover the gift, embrace the gift and then share the gift. My invitation to all is to watch the video and to share it with everyone! EVERYONE! <br />
<br />
<div class="" id="p5">
"Christmas is a time of reflection on what we can become because of God’s sacred gift. As we <span class="emphasis">discover the gift,</span> we learn of the immeasurable love of God and our absolute need for a Savior. As we <span class="emphasis">embrace the gift,</span> we strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to become more like Him. As we <span class="emphasis">share the gift,</span> we follow in the Master’s footsteps, who invited all to hear His message.</div>
<div class="" id="p6">
May we find greater holiness in our own lives and <span class="emphasis">share the gift</span> with others this Christmas season."</div>
<div class="" id="p6">
-Russell M. Nelson</div>
<div class="" id="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="" id="p6">
Here is the link to the video:</div>

<div class="" id="p6">

<div class="" id="p6">
<br /></div>
<div class="" id="p6">
Hopefully you all can experience miracles by discovering the gift, embracing it, and then sharing it!</div>

Well family, (I don't know how to start off these emails
anymore) but this week was great! It just flew! I feel like we had so much to
do that we just lost ourselves in the work. We were able to have a Zone
Conference in Allen with 4 of the zones here in the mission. It was such an
uplifting meeting. One of the topics that was discussed was the topic of grace.
President Taylor said that, "By recognizing your weaknesses, you are
actually coming unto Christ." That was interesting for me. But really when
we do recognize our weaknesses, we become humble and we want to be better and
strengthen our faults so then we go to Christ and our Heavenly Father and ask
for help. I loved hearing that! So many times on your mission, I feel like your
weaknesses are just brought to the "front burner" and you just feel
so inadequate, but really Heavenly Father just wants you to realize that you
need his help to over come them.</div>

Our ward had a great Thanksgiving dinner and our
investigator Hector was able to go and bring his wife. This ward is tiny, but
they are super loving and they love to have a great time. The ward party was
also a dance party, it is so hard with the mission rule of not being able to
dance. Hector is amazing! He is just so ready to hear and accept this gospel
and he comes to church every Sunday! We have set a baptismal date with him and
I am excited to keep working with him. He loves the missionaries, he has been
taught by so many. The ward loves him and really wants to see him progress in
the gospel. He has lung cancer and is the only one really interested in his
family, but he is amazing. He has such great faith and confidence in Heavenly
Fathers plan for him. He loves church and all the activities!</div>

This Thanksgiving I am excited to be a missionary. There are
so many things that I am thankful for, I couldn't even begin to list them all
off. Some of the key ones are my family, the gospel, the scriptures, the friends
that I have made on my mission, the car that we have to drive here in Texas,
and the opportunity that I have to serve right now it Rowlett! The holiday
season is so fun to be a missionary because you can really just loose yourself
and serve others. My companion and I are making 7 dozen cookies this week for
the Heath Texas Stake Christmas activity next Sunday! WOOHOO! The times just
keep getting better!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hope everyone has a great week! Look up this talk if you get
the chance it is SO good! It has totally changed my mission and how I look at
grace!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Well family, I don't even think that I can begin to explain
this past week. Just a week ago I was sitting with all my buddies of the
Carrollton Zone, and now I am in a completely different world it feels like.
This past week has been quite a roller coaster and I guess you could say that I
am still trying to "catch on and enjoy the ride." Don't worry I won't
have a pity party in this letter/email but I will just try to describe my last
week for you all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So last Monday was preparation day and I was with all the
missionaries of the Carrollton Zone playing sports and having a great
preparation day. No one knew that everything was literally going to change that
night. At about 7:30pm, our zone leader Elder Day called Hermana Walton and I
and told us that we were both getting doubled out of Carrollton so we both
needed to be packed up and ready to leave by 8 am the next morning. We started
to cry instantly and ran around trying to say goodbye to everyone before our
9pm curfew. It turns out that most of our Zone got transferred and that
everyone was going to be changing! It was crazy! Tuesday morning we jammed all
of our stuff into our little car and headed out to the transfer meeting in
Dallas. There we all went into the chapel and no one had any idea what was
going on. The assistants came in with President Taylor and they started saying
the new companionships and areas. My old Zone Leader Elder Day was made
assistant, so we were all happy for him. They went through all the zones and I
felt like mine was the last one, I was transferred to the Heath Zone. I have
been doubled in and I am back up training a new missionary, Hermana Merrell! I
was not expecting this at all, and this is my 3 time being doubled in on my
mission, so I knew what we were getting into.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well the first few days were SUPER stressful, trying to
figure everything out and learn about the members, investigators, recent
converts and less actives. I felt like I was running around like a chicken with
my head cut off and that I could never collect my thoughts. I have had to pray
more this past week than ever in my life, I just needed to really understand
that Heavenly Father answers prayers and that everything is going to be
alright.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a great week trying to figure everything out. Hermana
Merrell and I are just trying to laugh through all the awkward moments and
moments of frustration because there is literally nothing we cant do about it.
Getting doubled in makes you feel like you are just going into a darkened room
with a blindfold on, at least her and I are in this together. Through all the
craziness this week, we were able to set a baptismal date. This man has been an
investigator for ever and we were able to be firm with him and he finally chose
a date that he wants to be baptized. He is a very humble and gentle old man
that is battling cancer, but he is wonderful and came to church yesterday. Oh,
the tender mercies of Heavenly Father because even after all of the craziness we
were able to have 3 investigators at church! WOOHOO!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well family I sure love you all lots, and I hope that
everyone is enjoying this FREEZING cold weather.....I know that I'm not! Well
everyday is a great day to be a missionary and Heavenly Father really does love
all of us! Have a great week!</div>

Well family, this week there was a HUGE curveball in the mission. We are no longer getting transfer calls on Saturday nights. Instead they will call us Monday night between 9:00pm and 10:00pm and tell us whether or not we are getting transfered. If we are, we have to be packed up by the next morning and be at a transfer meeting at 8:00 in Dallas to be told where we will be going and who will be our new companions. No one likes this change! It is stressing a lot of people out. I am nervous to find out what is going to happen to us, but we won't know until tonight! President Taylor changed it so that missionaries wouldn't spend 2 days saying goodbye to people (Sunday and Monday) instead of working, so we will see how this goes tonight! Part of me thinks that I will stay here in Carrollton, which would be interesting, but whatever the Lord wants me to do, I will do it! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
This week, other than that, was pretty great! We had our last zone meeting and talked about our "Vision." Not just for the mission, but for our life. Where we see ourselves in 5, 10, 20 years and for the eternities. It was a really good training by Elder James and Elder Day! President Taylor wants every missionary to have a vision, and to clearly set goals, and that was good for me to evaluate my time on the mission and the time I have left. I am going to mission this zone so much. My Zone Leaders are awesome and all of the missionaries in it are just so much fun, literally my second family! </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We also were able to have a Sisters Conference in the mission, where all the sisters got together and talked about how we can become better misssionaries, women, and futuer mothers. Of course we talked about personal worth, and not being to hard on ourselves. There were tears shed and laughs that we had! It was a great uplifting meeting. My old companion, Hermana Ruesch, was incharge of it and she did an awesome job! She goes home in 2 days! It is SO WEIRD to watch your missionary friends and companions go home, and then when they are home to hear from them. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We are teaching an amazing family right now, and we had a lesson with them Thursday night. We brought one of the Mia Maid teachers with us and it turned out that her little sister is best friends with the family's daughter. Weird how that all works out. They were super excited to see that they knew members in our church. That was just a reminder to me that ANYONE can be interested in the church, take every opportunity to talk about it and just be an example of who you are. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We had the primary program yesterday in church, and of course, it was the best sacrament meeting of the year! We had dinner with the Larsens, an english family that I have become super close with, and they wanted to feed us before we got transfered. I am scared for what is going to happen, but it will all be okay. This ward is so great! There are so many people and they are just so kind to all the missionaries. I will tell you all what happens next week for transfers! Know that I love each and everyone of you, and I hope that everyone enjoys getting ready for the holiday season!</div>

Happy Late Halloween! Oh my goodness, this was probably the best holiday that I have had on my mission. But before I talk about Friday night, I would just like to tell you about a funny story that happened this past week that brought a little laughter, hopefully it makes sense.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So on Thursday night, we were going to have a lesson with Jacob at the apartment of a single lady member. We decided to invite our ward mission leader, Hermano Cardoso. We called him up a few days before and he said that he had something going on that night, but that he would try and reschedule it so that he could come out with us. A little while later he got back to us and said that he could come! We were excited because we knew that Jacob just needed some good solid men to be friends with in church. So on Thursday night, we go to the lesson and Hermano Cardoso is laughing the whole time. I didn't understand why, but I just decided to let it go and just keep teaching. All of a sudden, about 10 minutes into the lesson, there was a knock on the door. The lady went and opened her door and then all of a sudden we could hear the laugh of one of the other elders that serves in our ward. Hermana Walton and I looked at eachother and I could tell she was thinking the exact same thing I was, "What are Elder Vang and Elder Nebeker doing here?" Well they walk in and they have the bishops son with them. We all make eye contact and all 4 of us are wondering the same thing, why is the other companionship here. Hermano Cardoso, the ward mission leader, is just laughing. Well we try to bring back the spirit into the lesson and we were just all super confused the whole time. Hermana Walton and I taught the whole lesson infront of the Elders and the bishops son, and they were just laughing at us the whole time. After the lesson, I wanted to know what in the world they were doing there! It turns out that the thing that Hermano Cardoso had to do that night was home teaching and because he wanted to go out with us he had to find a replacement to go with his companion, the bishops son. His replacement was the Elders. It turned out that he was supposed to home teach the Hermana that was letting us have the lesson in her apartment. There was just a big mix up of confusion and communication. It ended up being quite the laugh!</div>

Okay, so for Halloween. We had a normal working day and then our mission president didn't want us out on Halloween night so he let all of zones get together to have a zone party/meeting. Well it started at 6 and let me just say, I have the BEST zone leaders. We had to have 45 minutes of spiritualness and then we could play sports or do whatever we wanted to do. So to start off, our zone leaders let us have a fireside with a "campfire" in the Relief Society room. We all talked about why we were on missions and our testimonies. We talked about who we are as people and what our purpose and potential is in this life. The spirit was super strong, and everyone was crying. I loved hearing some of the other stories of why people were missionaries, and what their purpose was for being here. After the spiritual part, our zone leaders asked us to bring clothes that we wouldn't mind getting dirty in. They had set up a bunch of minute-to-win-it games and we were all split into teams. The winning team got to smash pies in the Zone Leaders faces! There was a bunch of little events and then there was a big relay race. Everyone was laughing and having a ton of fun. My companions team won the challenge, so afterwards we all went out to the parking lot and watched the zone leaders get pied in the face. My companion was the last person to pie them in the face and instead of throwing it at our zone leaders she decided to pie me right in the face. This triggered a zone food fight, and the rest is history. Everyone was laughing and having so much fun. I think it was a great break from the work. All of the companionships have been struggling with the work this past transfer and you could tell that the stress was all getting to us, but to have that night to just laugh and spend time together as a zone was great! </div>

Another miracle this week. So some of you may remember my first baptism in the mission, the Putz family. Well yesterday I was able to watch Hermano Putz baptize his 8 year old son, Patricio. It was so cool! This family is amazing and it was so rewarding to watch one of my converts exercise his priesthood and baptize his son! Ah, missionary work, there is just no work that compares to it! They also asked me to sing with my companion. If anyone has ever heard me sing, I can't sing, but the members told us that they could feel the spirit and that is all that matters. I love being out here more and more every week Transfer calls are coming up this week and I am a little nervous as to where I might go but I am excited for another adventure! I hope everyone has a great week and knows that I love them all so very much. </div>

Well another week has come and gone in the mission field, I am just grateful that it is cooling down here in the state of Texas and that everyone is in the Halloween mood. It if fun to knock doors and see everyones Halloween decorations. I love the fall season! It is the best season to be a missionary! </div>

This week was another slow one, but I am learning really fast to recognize the little miracles. The family that we are teaching is super great! They invited us to a birthday party of their daughter and they want to come to church. Church is always the hardest part for people, I don't really understand why, but when they finally come to church you feel like you have accomplished a marathon, but this week we did just that. A few weeks ago we had a dinner with an older woman in our ward. She is a little bit crazy but she has a big heart and loves to help the missionaries. When we were leaving, there was a man walking into his apartment, so we decided to contact him. Our member was pretty much jumping down his throat that he needed to listen to us. We gently played it off and walked away not thinking much of it. Earlier this week we got a phone call from the member saying that the man was interested to hear a message, so we set up an appointment and taught him in her apartment. The lesson was fine, the member got us off topic a lot talking about unvirtuous women and super random topics but all was good. She then told the man that he was going to drive her to church on Sunday, and that he didn't have a choice! We were shocked that he actually showed up yesterday to church. He is an interesting man and around us he is kind of awkward, but he made so many friends in Priesthood! It was crazy! Oh well, Heavenly Father is blessing us for our efforts. </div>

This week there is a family in our ward that took us out to dinner, they took us to the famous Babe's Chicken! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD! I am taking my family there when we come back and visit! It is a classic Texas place with lots of fried chicken! They are some of my favorite members! AH, I love being a missionary!</div>
</div>

<div>
I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live and love us. I know that the Book Of Mormon is the word of God and that we have the commandments to help us and not hinder us. I love living the gospel because it only helps me be happier in life. I love being a missionary and sharing this gospel with others, I love Jesus Christ. I hope you all have a wonderful week!</div>

Well this week was another fun week full of knocking doors but my companion and I have been able to have good, deep talks about realizing the tender mercies that Heavenly Father has blessed us with everyday. It is been a really cool experience to reflect on how we see our Heavenly Father help us and bless us everyday. This week, one of the elders that is serving in my zone, got hit by a car on his bike so we offered them our car because the elder was having troubles walking. We were without a car for a little while, but that was great! We were able to talk to so many people on the streets as we were walking, stopped people bus stops and visited a lot of laundry mats. It was really good! We also are working with a less active family, the Anguianos and they are soooo funny! They will always make us really good hispanic food but they always seem to find a way to make fun of me for not liking beans! They are great!</div>
<div>

<div>
An update on Fransisco and Vivanna, (the family that we found last week!) They are awesome! We had a lesson with them yesterday night about the Book of Mormon. They are so eager and willing to read the Book of Mormon. We were also invited to the birthday party of their 8 year old daughter, which is great because we have only been meeting with them for about a week now. We have made a really good friendship with them though. The blessings of Heavenly Father are everywhere, we just have to stop and think about them everyonce in awhile. I feel like as a missionary sometimes I am rushed to meet the number goals that we have set, or to just go out and work and knock till my knuckles bleed, but Hermana Walton has really taught me to appreciate the little things. Heavenly Father has so many tender mercies for his missionaries, and I am so lucky to be able to see them first hand!</div>

This week has had its ups and downs, but when is that not the case as a missionary! So to begin, last Tuesday our whole mission got together to watch Meet the Mormons and have a mission wide breakfast! It was so fun to see everyone and the movie was so good! There is apart about missionaries and everyone was crying. It was crazy! We had a little fireside as a mission too, our mission president is amazing! He just knows exactly what to do to bring our mission together. On Wednesday, we had interviews, and that is where our Zone gets together and our leaders train us and we have personal interviews with President Taylor! They were so good. There were different missionaries in the zone that trained on different things and the spirit was so strong! We were all crying and we had a little testimony meeting, I love my zone! The interviews with President are good but short, but you can still talk about all the things that you need to.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Wednesday we found bed bugs again. AGAIN! I am so done with bugs! So once again we had to evacuate our room, deep clean everything and wash every single article of clothing. It took forever. That's all we did on Thursday. It was so frustrating for me because we couldn't go out and work at all because we had to fix the problem we had. Beg bugs are the worst. This week we also had stake conference and we were able to bring one of our investigators, Lily! She is amazing! Our zone leaders are also teaching her too. She speaks Spanish and English and she is awesome! She made us all lunch on Friday! She loves the gospel and the Book of Mormon, she knows that she is going to be baptized we are just waiting for the actual date!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
This week was hard because we had meetings pretty much all week and we couldn't really go out and work because of the bed bugs. I was super frustrated at the situation! All I wanted to do was to go out and work, and to preach the gospel, but like the mission always does, it teaches you patience. Yesterday, at about 7:30pm, we finally were rewarded for our rough week as we found an amazing family of 4! They were an answer to a lot of prayers and they are just so prepared by Heavenly Father! I am excited to work with them and teach them more about the restored gospel. One thing that struck me so much about them is that the wife told us that her mother didn't believe the family to be the most important thing in life, but my companion and I were able to testify of the importance of family. The phrase, "A missionary is away from their family for 18 months to 2 years so other families can be together for eternity!" rings so true in my mind! I love missionary work and I love this gospel. </div>

Conference was great! I was able to watch all of the sessions with investigators, recent converts and all of the missionaries. My favorite talk was by Elder Bednar of the final session and then all of the talks from the Young Womens Session. I feel like a reoccuring theme was "build your foundation on the rock of Jesus Christ" and "perservere to the end!" I love both of these! As missionaries we teach others the doctrine of Christ so that they can start a firm foundation for their personal lives and for their families. Then, we teach them that it is not enough just to be baptized and recieve the Holy Ghost but that we need to continue doing the right things every day to further our conversion. I loved some of the answers that they gave us or things that we should do weekly and daily. We need to go to the temple more, we need to hold a regular family home evening, and we need to teach our children how to do family indexing and to actively participate in the work of salvation. These are all great lessons that I have learned and that I want to apply to my future family, in 30 years from now :) haha</div>

This week was good. We knocked alot and we had a lot of fun doing it. We even did a "car fast" day which means that we don't use our car at all, we just walked everywhere. I loved it. You can talk to a lot more people and really have some interesting conversations. Its nice now to walk right now because it isn't very hot, so we are probably going to start walking a lot more. We have been doing a lot of finding and we are still working on strengthening the ward. Our ward is so big and the missionaries have a lot of work to do to "rescue the lost and strengthen the feeble knees."he people of our ward are so humble, some of them just need a gentle reminder of what the gospel of Jesus Christ did for them. I love being a missionary and working with these wonderful people. </div>

I run out of things to say so I am sorry if my emails get repetitive. But first I would like to say that the Womens meeting for Conference was AWESOME! President Uchtdorf said the most perfect/wonderful things! It was amazing! We brought one of our investigators and she was almost in tears at his words. She needed to hear all that he said. I am so excited for Conference this upcoming week. It was a real testimony builder for her! Life has been great here in Texas this past week.</div>

We had transfer calls, and I am staying here in Carrollton for one more. I am super excited to finish up Hermana Waltons training. We are excited to stay together because we are actualy working with some cool people. One of these people is Ereano. He is amazing and one of the most humble people that I have ever met. He is about 25 years old and he loves the Book of Mormon. He knows it all to be true and he understands the importance of being baptized by someone with the authority from God. It is amazing. We had a lesson with him on Tuesday and we took him to the church to give him a church tour. He still hasn't been able to come to church because of work but we wanted him to at least see what the church building is like. We invited some members and we had a combined lesson as we walked around talking about all the pictures on the walls and explaining the importance of the sacrament room and the baptismal font. It was great! You could feel the spirit so strongly as we all shared our testimonies with him.</div>

Last night there was a baptism in our ward, and our Zone Leaders did a musical number. It was so good! They sang the song, "Come Unto Christ" I have been thinking about that lately and how I can become more humble and come closer unto Christ. There is a Mormon Message that caught my eye and it made me really think if I am becoming the person taht Christ wants me to be, because the mission is the best time to develop the attributes of Christ and to really put all trust and confidence in Him and His plan. I am excited for the 6 months that I have left, because i am changing my focus a little bit and hopfully will continue to see personal growth. I love being a missionary! The video is called "The Will of God" and it is on Mormon Messages!</div>

This week has been a hard one but that is okay, "Come what may and love it right?!" This past week I hit my year mark in the mission. I cannot believe that I have already been out here for a year and I only have 6 months left. Realizing this made me reflect on what has happened in the past year and all that I have learned. The person I was a year ago is not the same and I am so thankful for the growth I have had since I have been out here. One thing that I know for sure is that I am a child of God and this is his work. This is the most important work that we could do while we are living here on the earth. Life honestly can't get better than right now. This may now be the best 18 months of my life, but it is for sure the best 18 months for my life.</div>

We are teaching 2 really solid men. They both love the Book of Mormon and we text them everyday to remember to read and to pray. They are progressing really well, the only thing they won't do is come to church. I have always wondered why coming to church is the biggest obstacle for people and why as missionaries we can't force people to come to church. I guess one of the hardest and most frustrating lessons that I have learned is that everyone has their agency and we can't do anything about it. They could know that everything is true and have a testimony of prayer, Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and still not decide to come to church. This has been really frustrating for me, but I have learned that it is all in the Lord's time.</div>

An example of the Lord's timing is about 4 months ago, I was knocking in an apartment complex with Hermana Enriquez. We knocked on this door and the lady that answered told us that she already knew 2 of the elders that used to stop by about 8 months ago. She went on to tell us that she didn't have time at the moment, but we could come by again in a few weeks. I wrote down in my planner so I wouldnt forget, but of course what did I do?? I forgot. Anyways fast forward to about a month ago. It was the first day with my trainne and we were knocking in apartment complex. We knocked on a door and the lady that answered said that her daughter used to take the discussions and lives just a few doors down. The thought suddenly came to my mind that this was the lady that I had met. I started running and told Hermana Walton just to follow me because we needed to talk to her. We found her home that day, her name is Lily. She made it very clear that she would listen to us but would never convert. After a week or 2 of working with her, we got discouraged and started saying that the gospel would never change her life. So we decided to give her as a referral to the english elders because she also speaks english and they decided to try and work with her. Well low and behold, this Lily has been reading the Book of Mormon, praying, coming to church and has a baptismal date. Sometimes it is not the right timing or the right people but if we pray about it and if we do the will of our Heavenly Father, everybody wins. The gospel changes lives.</div>

I read a talk this week called "The Atonement and Missionary Work" by Elder Holland, and it is amazing. Espcecially the last part, it made me start to cry. I have also been studying in Alma 26, and have been able to relate it to my life and missionary work, it is actually quite funny. I love the scriptures, and I have grown to love them even more on my mission. This week we had a combined meeting for the missionaries and once again we sang "God Be With You till We Meet Again," that song seriously gets me everytime. I said goodbye to an old companion, Hermana Munyer, and some other old friends. Life is good and I am happy! Have a great week everyone!</div>

Well family, life is crazy. It always is, but this week I had some unexpected events happen to me and it has been a very humbling week. Concepcion was baptized and the week you have a baptism you want to hit mission "standards" which are just like high goals you can hit the week you have a baptism. Hermana Walton and I were super excited and confident because we knew we would be able to reach them. The week started off great, but then it began to crash and burn....oh how I love being a missionary.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
On Wednesday we had exchanges, so Hermana Hadlock came here for the day. On Thursday morning, I woke up in the middle of the night with a dream that bugs were crawling on me, it didn't really phase me but when I woke up in the morning, I went to the bathroom and then the thought crossed my mind....BEDBUGS. I decided I would go check and if they were there I would need to stay completely calm. Of course, to my unpleasnt suprise, when I lifted up my sheets, all I saw were little bugs crawling all over the place. OH GOODNESS! This is the second time on my mission that I have had bed bugs. We quickly lifted and took my bed outside, and started to tear apart everything. The members that we live with weren't too excited either. Elder Midgley, who is in charge of the housing for the mission, came and heated up our room to about 150 degrees because heat kills the bed bugs. We had to remove everything, and we had to wash every single article of clothing and bedding and we went and used to elders laundry and did laundry practically all day long. It was a nightmare. Our room was destroyed and now we don't know where anything is. Hermana Walton was so calm, it has been great, but Thursday was a rough day.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<br />
On Friday we went back to our missionary duties and were trying so hard to reach the Zone Standards goals, and we were right on tract. We had planned everything and everything was going through. We were so excited because not even bed bugs could stop us. B,ut Saturday night, as we stopped by some investigators to invite them to church our car was towed. AWFUL! We had been gone for about 10 minutes and when we went back to our car, it was gone. Some teenagers came up to us and told us that they had just taken the car away about 3 minutes earlier. GOODNESS. We ended up calling some people and they came and picked us up but this morning we had to go to the mission office to drive with Elder Larsen and his wife to pick up our car in Dallas.</div>

<br />
My my my what a week it has been, but I just don't think I can say enough that IT IS ALL WORTH IT. We didn't end up meeting standards which was hard but, I know that these little trials have all taught Hermana Walton and I something. She is so positive and I am so grateful for her because without her this week I probably would have just given up. I love being a missionary. I have never been more tired in my entire life, but everyday is just amazing! I love this work, and I love being a missionary, I love Jesus Christ. I hope everyone had a wonderful week!</div>
