4th of July

So this week we got to go on exchanges with the Sisters in Lancaster PA and they are in a Spanish branch so they only speak Spanish. I had the chance to go their with Hermana Tolman. She is such an awesome missionary, I would have never known she was going home next week by the way she works. It was really cool though to go there, it was awesome to be able to sit in those Spanish lessons and not really know what they were saying, but be able to feel the spirit and know that what they testified of was true.

We also Had MLC (missionary leadership council) this week in Pittsburgh! Me, Sister Jarvis, Elder Liston, and Elder May all drove over, which is a 4 hour drive to meet all of the Zone Leaders and Sister Training leaders with the mission president, his wife, and the assistance. We got some great training and really got me motivated to be a better leader and example! We also got to go on a hike, and the sisters spent the night at the mission home!

We also get to go to the Washington DC temple with Deb who just got baptized to do baptisms and then we will also get to do an endowment session! So excited!!!

We had district meeting on the 4th and we were gunna watch some fireworks but they started too late, so we watched them from the car.. :) Besides that it was just a normal day as a missionary!

I know that the Lord is with us as missionaries, and he directs this work. I know that the Atonement is real! and that through Jesus Christ our burdens can be lifted if we turn to him. I am SO grateful for how much I have grown on my mission, and I know that through Christ anything is possible!

We went on exchanges with Spanish sisters so she gave me a cheat sheet so that I could actually say something in the lessons :)

This week we had the opportunity to see Deb get baptized! That was awesome, and she was so ready. It was so cool to see, after putting the records in the area book, how far she has come over the last 2 years and now she is so ready, and she even was able to get her temple recommend on Sunday as well!
   We also had zone Conference which was also really good! Every time we have those meetings, and learn more about what we are capable of doing with the iPads, it makes me so excited to see what good we are able to do with them! The Lord is literally allowing a way for everyone to receive the gospel! The spirit was so strong at that entire meeting, and I loved to hear the music and the departing testimonies.
   We also got to go on an exchange with the Lebanon sisters. I got to go there with Sister Jex, and sister Jarvis stayed in E-town with Sister Conseco. We were meeting with a Less Active member and she had a caretaker there who was not a member and started to ask us about our beliefs. It was so cool to see how the spirit really did direct us to be able to answer all of her questions and she even started to look on Mormon.org and lds.org, and we gave her a Book of Mormon! The Lord really does place people who are prepared in our paths.
