Wednesday

I hope all is well! We have had so much rain the last couple of days! On Monday the power went out ! And Sister Moran and I ran home, we were soaking wet!

Well I am beginning my second transfer today! I am still with Sister Moran (she is will most likely be going outbound after she is done training me-so 6 more weeks!) We have a new assignment..... here you go Aubrie!!! The Beehive House!!! Yay super excited and guess what is even more exciting??? My VC (Visitor Center) companions from the MTC will be serving there too! So excited! Since today is p-day I will have to hurry and read about the history before we start tomorrow!!

Wow, I know I have only been here of 6 weeks but transfers are so hard, seeing all the sisters go home and serve outbound! My ZL and District leader left today :( I will miss them but we also got new sisters 11 I believe! The work is moving forward! It is amazing to be serving in the shadow of the temple!

So yesterday and today have been cRaZy! The temple is now open after 6 weeks so tons and tons of weddings! But on the other hand there are more people to talk to!!

So Carrie is still figuring out a baptismal date due to the moving situation and Robert (I began talking to him about 1 month ago but he finally answered the phone) He attended church this past Sunday and is meeting with his local missionaries!! We talked with him this morning and he told us that every time he reads the Book of Mormon he feels at peace and that it is true!! We talk with him on Friday and will ask him to be baptized!

Missionary life is definitely an adjustment but the most amazing thing ever!! I would like to share a poem that a sister shared in one of our district meetings:

The Highs and Lows

"A mission is a strange experience

It is a trial and a test

A mission throws at you the worst

Yet, teaches you the best.

I've never been so happy,

I've never been so depressed.

I've never felt so forsaken,

I've never felt so blessed.

I've never been so confused,

Things have never been so clear.

I've never felt my Heavenly Father so distant,

He's never been so near.

I've never been so discouraged,

I've never been so full of hope.

I feel I could go on forever,

I think I've come to the end of my rope.

I've never had it quite so easy,

I've never had it quite so tough.

Things have never been so smooth,

Things have never been so rough.

I've never traveled through more valleys,

I've never ascended more peaks.

I've never met so many nice people,

I've never met so many freaks!

I've never had so many ups,

I've never had so many downs.

I've never had so many smiles,

I've never had so many frowns.

I've never been so lonely,

I've never had so many friends.

Boy, I hope this is over soon,

Man, I hope this never ends."

I love this poem because I can relate but the thing is, is that we can over come opposition with the help of the Lord and in turn our negative thinking can be replaced with positive thinking!!

I know that my Heavenly Father loves ALL of us and He has a plan!

Love you all!

In a different e-mail she sent:

I ask way too much of you! But could you keep sending me recipes? I hate eating the same thing over and over again. We do all the cooking and preparing at home and just warm it up on the square. We don't have much time to prepare and eat at the same time.

(****SO IF ANYONE HAS SOME EASY RECIPES THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEND HER..... HER ADDRESS IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE!****)

Thank you for the package with the talks and candy! We love it!

I hope things are going well and I am surprised you are not on the computer emailing me back but ya p-days are Wed. now!!

So much better than Fridays.

Well now I will have time for letters but not emails. We only have 2 hours to email you know how slow I read and type..... and when we had p-day on Fridays we would shop for 3 hours so it's 6 when we get home and then we would go to a performance with our zone so we got home at 9:30 then we would plan and get ready for sleep but now we don't have that pleasure. So yay, I will actually have a normal p-day.

I will write home! love you all!! Talk with you next wed!!

Thank you for every thing!! I love you!

Look who found Sister Tuckett on Temple Square! Kailey and little Makenna!
