Good Morning every one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is such a beautiful day today!!!!! This week has been pretty good. 

For conference we go to the stake center where it is broadcasted. We get to go Saturday morning and evening and Sunday morning. I am really excited to try something different for conference. It will be a wonderful experience. This week we had a multi zone training it was really good I learned a lot!!!

I am glad that they like their letters. Dad should get his patriarchal blessing as well.;) Don't worry about me I am doing ok. Yes it is hard right now but I am not holding it all in I am talking to someone who I now can help. I am talking to my Heavenly Father. I am definitely going through a trial right now but that just means I am to do something really meaningful and I just have to trust in my Heavenly Father to help get me through it.

Don't worry it is nothing to big I am just dealing with a crazy/creepy investigator and worried about training. 

I am not sure how much longer we will have weather like that, but it will be good to have just in case. I have not bought a coat yet because we haven't really had a chance but I will be looking today.

Yes she will be coming in on this transfer. Now that I know her name I can keep an eye out for her and say hi. I am definitely nervous for this transfer especially for the not knowing if I am training or not. But i know that as long as I am keeping my faith in the Lord and keeping my hand in is I will be able to do it. The Holy Ghost is the Teacher/Trainer I just need to let him work through me.

Thank you so much for the Poem. I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Love you mostess hostess toastess

Next week is transfers just so you know  

The poem we shared with Taylor this week that she is referring to in her letter:

The lad who sold them had such charm, I talk to him: he seemed so glad... if I were late 'twould do no harm,
And as I left he said to me :"Thank you. You have been so kind.
It's nice to talk to folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind".

Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I have two eyes. The world is mine.

Later, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play; it seemed he knew not what to do.
Then I said, "Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I have two ears. The world is mine.

With legs to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset glow,
Two ears to hear what I would know...

Oh God, forgive me when I whine...
I'm blessed indeed. The world is mine.
