Where to begin...

Hmm... so this week is kind of crazy! In a good way!


I've been getting used to my new zone, which is a lot of fun! We have been teaching a lot of different people and they love what we have to share. One of them even wants to make a Youtube video about the things we've been teaching her she likes it so much! Crazy!

We have many people come and ask lots of questions. Some of them really want to learn more, some of them... well- don't. One person came and said right out that they wanted to debate, and we explained- kindly but firmly- that we don't debate. He tried for a little, but we were straight forward with him.

On Saturday I had my first ASL contact this transfer. I had to send my pager to the pager doctor again (For some odd reason it didn't like accidentally being dropped in my glass of water... hmm...) and so I didn't recieve the page. Thankfully for him and the other sisters, I was in the same room, so the sisters got my attention as soon as I was done talking to someone and we were able to chat in ASL. He asked me to interpret the Map for him, so I did (the one in the North Visitor's Center that shows Jerusalem at Christ's time.) I did, and it was nice to be able to hear it all the way through. He really appreciated it and even thought of someone for me to contact on the videophone!

Sunday we had a lot of time to talk to people online, and not a lot to talk to people on the square, but it's amazing how God prepares people when you have little time to talk to them, we've seen many miracles, especially of people saying they want to learn more, even about things that we barely brushed on, like the book of Mormon.

Several of the people that we teach have been contacted by the missionaries in their area now, so we turn the teaching over to them when that happens! It's so great to see the changes in people now, especially since I have experience from being outbound. I really love seeing the difference in people, those who are really ready to hear about the gospel, and those who really aren't! I am amazed at the joy I feel when I hear someone else getting so excited about the gospel and what we have to teach them.

It's that time of the year again! The Tabernacle Choir is recording once more. Or at least half of it. The men are doing a CD. I don't know all the songs, but from the snippits I hear as I'm walking (quietly) by sounds great! Unfortunately, it also makes it difficult for guests who have planned to come to see the tabernacle specifically. Thankfully after this week it will be over.

There is also a new display going up in Temple View, I don't know anything about it except it's supposed to be really neat when they finish.

They also remoddled parts of the Beehive house to make it look even more like it's supposed to (make the clerks office look like a clerks office, and Brigham young's office like his office.) I haven't seen it yet, since I'm not on the square much, or any where else, but it sounds cool!

My companion is about as weird, random, crazy and so on as I am. So we get along just fine! I mentioned, I think, that her name is Sister Carlisle, and that we've been in the same zone and district several times before. It's fun being with someone I know and get along with, especially since we're so close in "age" on the mission. She's just one Transfer "younger" than me.

any way, hope all is well in the 4 quarters of the earth!.. or at least of the United States!

Love you all!

Be happy and good and stuff!

Love ~
