Happy Easter everyone!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday reflecting on the things that the Savior has done for us. I also hope that you have thought about all of the accomplishments our Savior did. He really did overcome death and gained Victory! I know he LIVES. He has a body of flesh and bone, as does our Father in heaven. I have had that confirmation in my life over and over again! I also know that Jesus Christ died for US. He did, and it is the only way we can ever return back and live with our Heavenly Father. Yesterday we celebrated his life and Resurrection and it gives me so much peace and hope that one day we will have resurrected bodies and have a chance to become like our Father and Savior. What a special gift! This week was pretty good! We have been pretty busy it has been great! For Easter we went to our Ward Mission Leaders house and had dinner! It was really fun! They fed us dinner and then told us that they have a traditional family Easter Egg Hunt planned, and they invited us to do it! They hide eggs in their house and the Easter Baskets. They gave us a basket and it was super cute! We had a great time! On Tuesday we had Zone Conference, and we talked a lot about how we can improve our planning, and it was super helpful! We also did some "timed restoration lessons" in less than 3 minutes!! It was super intense and hard, Sister Eaton and I couldn't do it the first time but then we did it the second time! President wants us to "get to the point" of the restoration, the most important part is the fact Joseph Smith was called to be a prophet and the Book Of Mormon was translated by the power of God. It was good, but so hard! We have been trying to practice teaching the restoration in that time everyday, it has made a difference! I also sang a musical number, I sang "Did you think to pray", everyone said they loved it, and thought I did a good job, so it meant a lot to me! On Thursday, we saw Destiny for the last time, she is moving in with her mom in Naccidich! We had a good decision and conversation with her and her little sister. The spirit was so strong! I felt prompted to share a song called "He knows me better" It is an EFY song, and all of us just sat and listened to it, it was so powerful! I love music! It motivates me to be better. I love the lyrics in that song. I will get a link on here so ya'll can listen to it yourself it is amazing! We also went with Sister Breeland to meet with some of her elderly neighbors and pick up recycle-able items and we sang songs to them and it was really fun! One of the ladies name is Joy, she just spent a good half hour telling us all of her favorite poems she has written. She would be a great story teller the way she recited her poems! It just warmed my heart spending time with them! I felt the spirit so strong! Saturday we had Women's Conference and I learned so much! The title of my group email probably doesn't make sense, but it was one of my favorite stories that was told during that conference! Sister Burton shared this story I think. It is about the the young women leader who was teaching a object lesson. she was holding a mirror to her face while having a conversation with a sister, and then she just watched the reactions of the sisters, but didn't explain herself. Then then the second time she held a window to her face and talked to the sister through the window. It was a testimony builder to me that we cannot be selfish, the work that we have been asked to do requires to put our focus on others. I know that as we strive to serve others and make them a priority in our life over our selves we will be blessed! I love Easter, I love conference time! I am excited to see what our leaders of the church would have us hear right now. It is the best time of the year! I love you and I hope ya'll be safe this week! Love ya'll! (: Love always, Sister Scott <3   Dear Mom, And the garments fit great! (: |
Well this week has been okay! I wont lie, I am pretty jealous that ya'll are on a cruise without me, and over my B-day week! But, it is spring break! I hope ya'll have a ton of fun. You should make a cardboard cut out of me and take pictures so I feel like I am there! (: hahah. Sister Eaton and I are just trucking along! We are trying to work really hard! That journal that you sent me a few months back? It is already getting filled pretty quickly! I am trying to write down everything that I am thinking and feeling. I want to remember and look back and see my progression. I read back now, and I see that how much I am really converted to the Gospel. I LOVE THE BOOK OF MORMON! it is truly amazing!
Well this mission is flying by, Sister Kendall will be home in 4 months and then I will be home 4 months after her! It is so crazy! I am just enjoying the rest of my time here in Ruston, I get the feeling I will be leaving in 6 weeks again! I am pretty sure I will have only 3 areas!! I have served here for almost 6 months! It has been so fun!! I have loved this area! (: It will be interesting to see where I would go. I wonder who I would train next because that is all I have done for my entire mission!
well, that is all that has been on my mind this week. We watched the Women's conference and it was super good! My favorite part about that conference was the story about the the young women leader holding a mirror to her face while having a conversation with a sister, and then then the second time she held a window to her face and talked to the sister through the window. It was a testimony builder to me that we cannot be selfish, the work that we have been asked to do requires to put our focus on others. I love Easter, I love conference time! I am excited to see what our leaders of the church would have us hear right now. It is the best time of the year! I love you and I hope ya'll be safe and enjoy your cruise! LOVE YOU! (:
