The one and only picture for this week and that is giving thanks to the Curbello Family!!!

They took a family trip to Utah and went to Temple Square and found Sister Tuckett!

She spends a lot of her time emailing the mission president now so she actually mailed me a letter this week!

Here is most of the letter:

We met lots of wonderful people on the square at conference time.  The weekend went by so quickly.  I wish it was 4 days instead of 2. 

I think I told you before, but working with less actives is what really makes me happy.  They know, they have already made those covenants with God.  Some say "it doesn't work for me... but as President Uchtdorf said... "it works, it works wonderfully."  Keep life sweet and simple.  We keep things that are un-needed, unimportant, and it keeps us from becoming who God wants us to be. 

I only have 2 months left but I feel far from being prepared.  I met Elder Snow from the 70 yesterday and he said "Sister T they only send the best to Temple Square."  No pressure or anything. Lol! I guess that is what the Atonement is for, to change and become better!  I am not saying I am a bad missionary but I could always do better. 

We met some great people!  I love being in the teaching center calling and chatting with people and Sister C. loves the Square.  I love it too, but I talk more in the teaching center.  I got out of my comfort zone, but I still am shy and don't talk too much.  I like teaching and testifying and encouraging and Sis. C. likes asking questions.  We all have different skills and talents!  Humility and faith is what I want to focus on these last 2 months.  The Atonement is so wonderful, that EVERYDAY IS A NEW ONE!  I love the mission!  It is a blessing! 

Love you so much!
Love,
Baby Bear  (AKA Sister Tuckett) xoxo



She said she spends about 20 hours a week in the teaching center and some desk assignments and then the rest of the time is on the Square.  Has lots of paperwork that she has to do as zone leader.

Thanks again to the Curbello's for the picture of our happy girl!  She really isn't ready to come home yet!  She loves her mission!

No blog letter this week.. she bought a new journal today and said when she gets home I can read all about her mission!

 

But in the meantime she answered a few questions for me!

 

Asked her about seeing her Ker family this week:

"Yes it was so nice to see them! I had no idea that I would see them! It had been awhile since I had last seen them! It was sad that I didn't get to spend more time!"  :(

 

Do you have any investigators you are working with?

"Yes we just got 5 new investigators yesterday! We got 3 from the square and 2 more through chat! And one them is from the Tulsa area but just moved to California. Yesterday was so great!!"

 

"I work in West Gate just 3 shifts a week not much ~ so 12 hours. I love it! It can be stressful when people and phones need your attention and you have 2 arms and brain that don't multi-task! lol"

 

 

She sent me some pictures.. with a little bit of explanation.

 

 She said "this cute couple comes to Temple Square every week."

 

 

 Her first VIP tour!

A couple lawyers from Brazil.

 

 

 She said this couple ran across Temple Square

just to get a picture with the girls!

 

 

A "famous journalist" from Lebanon.

He has moved to the U.S. and is one of their investigators.

("You can tell he likes to take pictures!")

 

 

Investigator from India.

 

 

Needed some privacy for their prayer with an investigator on the phone!

Aunt Candy and Uncle Gerry went back to see her to pick up a box of stuff she is sending home.

Because she is coming home in 9 WEEKS!!!!!

Here is the trailer for the movie "Meet the Mormons".

It is a great video to show different people in the Mormon Church and how they have been blessed and how they have blessed others by living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

So I had a full week with my new companion! She is a great missionary! She is helping me with all that I need to know as a new Zone Leader! We are also having fun a long the way! It seems that we have been best friends for a long time!

Conference was a blast!! We were tired and our feet hurt but it was so worth it! We talked with so many people and to hear their testimonies were so inspiring. They shared with us what they learned and how they are going to change certain things and how they have a deeper desire to share the gospel with their family and friends!

As we walked around the Square we could hear some of Conference. I loved President Uchtdorf's talk on "IT WORKS!" The gospel works for ALL of us not just some of us. The hard part is knowing how it works for each and everyone of us! We are all different, it is a process, it is a life long pursuit in finding how it works for us personally! I thought that by the end of my mission I would know how to apply everything perfectly, that I would know everything! But that is far from the truth! A mission is a resource, it is a training center to help us apply and live the gospel for the rest of forever! I am grateful for the knowledge that I have and IT WORKS! Remember that!

I love you ALL!

I hope that you enjoyed Conference, I know I did!

"You will have like maybe 2 more blog letters before I come home. I have to email lots of things to president and spend most of my time doing that. I will do better at writing home to give you more information!

We talk with the District Leaders and help them with their sisters.  We do lots of paper work, exchanges with the district leaders and trainings, meetings, encouraging and more. Sister Campelo is great though! Love her. She is teaching me so much!"
 

 

She talked to a lady in the missionary travel department today!  She said I will be getting her flight itinerary soon!!!!

Hello Everyone!

 

I am honestly really sad that this transfer has come and gone! Serving with Sister Alliaud has been one of my best yet! I have learned so much with her and with serving as a District Leader. But seasons come and go and we are called to serve in new areas and with new people! I will now be a Zone Leader and my new companion is from Brazil! I am looking forward to serving the Lord and the sisters in my zone in this capacity.

I did enjoy my Birthday! It was great to spend it with the mission! Thanks for all of the birthday wishes!

Sister Alliaud was so excited this past week, her 1st investigator from Argentina got baptized this past weekend! It was so cute to see her happy dance! Lol

We had the opportunity to go Elder Scott's funeral yesterday. The square was closed until 1 pm. It will be interesting to see who will be called to serve as apostles this weekend. I am so excited for General Conference!

Some of us had the chance to go to the General Women's Conference! I loved it all! One thing that God has given us is life. Sister Wixom said, "There are two important days in our lives, the day that we are born and the day when we find out why!"  It is so important for us to know who we are and why we are here. This life isn't just a vacation but it is a preparation for a happy eternity.

I know that my emails have been getting shorter and shorter, well ~ they will continue to get shorter! Lol  These last 2 months will be busy, busy with service! I will come home and share everything!

I love you all!
