Letter #47: 3.31.14

Dear Mommy & Papa,

Thank you so much for the box.  Good thing about my mail here in Belfair.  It comes right to the door.  I love you and miss you lots.  The Belfair ward is wonderful.  There is a spirit that is so different in Sacrament.  The Bishop worked on the ward to have the right mind set when you enter the chaple doors.  As soon as you walk in you can feel the spirit.  Its way cool to serve here in this ward.  Well I am almost done reading D&C and New Testament.  I am still working on the Old Testament.  My goal is to finish all the books before I get home.  I have grown to love all the books so much.  My study scriptures are just filled with notes and quotes.  They are way bigger now.  I have no idea how I did not enjoy them when I was back at home.  They are all so good.  I’m trying to think of what else to talk about...it is a beautiful day here in Belfair.  So for the month of March our mission had a goal of 100 baptisms.... well we got 85 the month of March.  It is way cool.  So yes I am very excited to be going to the temple soon.  The temple is an awesome place.  Okay so from knocking 5-7s this week we knocked into an old 80 yr old lady who told us to call her grandma cause we are far from our families serving the Lord.  Her name is Eileen.  Grandma Eileen is a sweet old Christian lady.  The first word she said to us when we knocked on her door was, “what do you put first your church or Jesus Christ?”  We right away told her with power, “Jesus Christ”. Then she said, “okay then, now you can come in.”  We did service there 2 times.  Thats one of my fun stories that happened this week.  The missionaries in my distric are putting on a Book of Mormon study class every Thursday at 7:30.  Its going to be great to get them to just start reading.  Jeffrey Bishop is on date for May 3rd.  Angel and Lily we had an amazing lesson with the.  Angel is 8, Lily is 11 so it is hard to do lessons with them.  They always just wants to play with us.  But after fasting, this lesson they wanted to learn and listen.  Lily finished reading the Book of Mormon Stories book.  So I guess Belfair is a place were Im teaching kids.... haha.

I came to love every area I serve in and every comp I serve with.  Every area and comp I had are all different.  I love them all in different ways.  I know this is a once in a life time for me,,, to be here.  I have come to know the fullness of the gospel in my life.  I kn ow I toldthe Lord, “Lord here am I send me@!”  I know I am nothing witht Him, my Savior to help and toi be my light to shine the way in whatever darkness comes my way.  I am so greatful to all the fellow prophets who took their lives for the Book of Mormon so I can have it now.  It is so true the church is.  Many blessings comes thany you for all you do for me.  Love yeah lots.


Love your sister missionary.
