HI ya'll

picture 1: This is my Zone!

picture 2: This is a stree in Atlantic Beaches! Liahona!!!! :D

 

So this week we have been in our area for about two days. No, we did not go AWOL and steal the car, but we did end up going to Orange Park, Atlantic Beaches and Gainsville, FL.

 

Zone Conference was this week and I found out that one of the people that I taught for the two weeks that I was in OP has been baptized!! It was Kevin the one who I said reminded me of Alan. AND he has the priesthood!!! I was sooo excited that I jumped for joy! I knew that he was going to do it even when everyone else said he wouldn't. I love being right about things like that. (I said ya'll in my testimony--it was weird).

 

In Beaches we were on a trade off. I was with Sister Heckle and we had a blast. She is so sweet and she is good at teaching too. Even though she is new to the mission field she seems to have most everything under control and she even fixed lunch for me! I love her!

 

We got one evening in our own area and we really didn't get to do a lot. I was sad, but we did try, but the next day we did weekly planning and then we headed of to President interviews and then another trade off with Gainsville.

 

I was with my trainer Sister D and she is doing so well. Because she and Sister Mathis we white washed into the area and the streets are confusing and they are over the singles ward so they cover a stake, it took a long time planning, but the day was full of meeting people, teaching with the scriptures and leaving blessings with the students there. The students are open to learning so that is nice, and they even come to church, praying is a little foreign though.

 

Such an exciting week!

I love ya'll and I hope you are doing well!

New Companion

So, I was right. My new companion is Sister Knickerbocker who has lived many places, but her family lives in Idaho! So wonderful!

 

I hope that all is well with everyone. I'm getting excited to see what more will happen in this area, I love the people here.

 

I have been working hard on making sure that I talk with everyone. I have much to still learn.

 

We have been working a lot here, but I have a feeling that something big is coming, I just don't know what . . . something amazing!

 

I love ya'll and I hope that you will all be well.

Not much time . . .

Okay, so we are so late, and we don't have much time to write so no pictures this week. I love you all and things are wonderful here. We have been preparing for Zone Conference and we have gotten six new investigators and one date and many other wonderful things.

 

Transfers is tomorrow and sister Mathis is leaving (I told her hi for Katie) :D

 

I will have a new compaion in this area and it will be interesting to see who I have a feeling it might be Missy's friend sister Kinkerbocker from Toole. What an intheresting thought! I love you all I will try to write more next week!!!

17 Miracles

This week we had a wonderful activity! We were able to watch 17 Miracles with the ward and everyone! We'll it was just the first activity, but we did have some people show up and they all loved it. For those how have not seen it. . . see it! So amazing! But it is the stories of the people who came by handcart. The Mission President approved us to watch it as well so we shared that this is the month that we celebrate pioneer day and a short quote and watched it. :D

 

I also had another wonderful surpirse! After district meeting the Zone leaders opened their trunk and I found that I had six letters waiting for me! I love it. So much love to receive!

 

We have been working with new people and we even had a wonderful member invite us over for lunch to share the gospel with her friend. I love the members here they are becoming more missionary orented and they are willing to help all the time, I'm so happy to be serving here. Such a wonderful place, all I need to do is keep treking (I'm like a pioneer! Really though after watching that movie I feel like I'm on my own journey to zion as I go though my mission and my life and I am helping all those around me as long as they are willing to travel as well.)

 

I hope all is well with everyone and I thank you for all the support and prayers you have given me.

 

I love ya'll!!

Sister Sheffer.
