A Beautiful Beautiful Week in Rose Park

Hello everyone!!!!
 
I'm sorry that the pictures that I've been sending haven't been working.  What a bummer.  I'll try again.  I hope they work this time.
 
This letter is going to be pretty random so hold on tight...lets go!
 
Emily!!!!! You went home this weekend? I'm so jealous!!!  That's so fun that you got to see Sam in action...I can't wait to see him play.  And you got to see E.Nel. 
 
Mom, that's so fun that you did ward conference in the spanish branch.  I CAN"T wait to get home and go to the spanish branch and help out with whatever I can and get to know the sisters that you love so much!  oh man...seriously I can't wait! 
 
Grandma and Grandpa:  Where are you going on your trip and when do you leave?>  I hope it's wonderful!  Drive super safe!!!!
 
CIndi & Courtney:  This morning I went to the temple and I felt a strong impression to put both of your names and your family's name on the prayer roll.  I wasn't sure why but I just followed my promptings and did it.  And just right now I found out about your brother/uncle.  I am so so sorry to hear about that.  I know you both know but he is SO happy right now.  I'm sure he's learning more anout the gospel and helping teach others that are there right now with him who didn't get a chance to hear it. 
 
JJ Happy Birthday today!!!!! YAHOO!  the big 34!!!!!
 
And Grandma Penny:  Happy almost birthday(this week)!!!! I love you!!!!
 
ok, as for General conference, I talked to President Sonne and we ARE allowed to see family that comes to conference.  The whole mission meets around the reflection pool in front of the temple between sessions and we usually bring lunch and have a picnic.  I'm not sure ifwe would be able to go out to lunch but I'll investigate that one! So far, we only have tickets to the 2 morning sessions  but we're still trying to find tickets to the afternoon sessions.  I'll keep you posted!
 
ok....now this whole missionary work thing......hahah!  This week has been amazing! I love each week more and more!  But this week we have seen our real first miracle!!!!  It was so cool!!!!!  ok so there was a visitor in sacrament meeting on Sunday who we had never met before so we introduced ourselves to her and set up an appointment to meet woth her later that day because she wanted to learn about the church.  So we went to the house that she's staying at (she's staying with her aunt who is a member).  oh ya I forgot to mention that she;s just visiting for the week from Las Vegas.  So she loved everything that we taught and we made an appointment to go back on Monday.  SO we went back on Monday and she had read 3nefi 11 and prayed to find out if it is true and she knows that it is true!  So we taught her about the great apostasy and why there are so many churches today.  Then she said that she wasnts to get baptized in a church that baptizes in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost...well HELLO?!?!?!?!?  We can do that for you!!!!  But she was a little nervous to say 100% yes that she would get baptized.  So right there we knelt down with her to pray.  And she prayed and asked Heavenly Father if this is the true church and if she should get baptized.  Before she was even finished, she was balling and she said that she felt something in her heart that she has never felt before.  She received her answer.  It turns out that she is going to stay here in Utah to get baptized this Sunday and then stay for General CO nference so that she can hear the prophet of God speak in General Conference.  It was the most amazing thing I have probably ever experienced!  God really does perform miracles in His work!!!!
 
I love you all so much and I miss you a ton!!!!!!  Have a great week!
 
con amor
su misionera de Sion
