No pics from Mckennah from the week! Here's some oldies but goodies
Hey y'all!
I hope you have had an amazing conference weekend! We were so busy with transfers and all and just getting back into the routine of things. We are so excited to work hard this transfer!
SO. To start off my new companion is ..drum roll please..is SISTER STEADMAN! She is a pretty awesome sister! It is pretty funny so she came out a transfer after I did and she served in the same zone as me in my first area! (Hattiesburg,MS) On top of that the district she was serving in at that time was the Petal District which is funny because I eventually joined that district not too long after she left that area. It is pretty crazy!
Soo we had a couple cool experiences this week. When Sister Steadman first got here we went to Wal-mart and as we were walking into Wal-Mart there was a girl walking with her dad! She came up to us and said " Hey Sisters! I have been meeting to talk with you. I wanna do family history, I wanna learn more about it!" It was so awesome! We then exchanged numbers and scheduled a time to meet this Thursday! How awesome right?! Right timing, Right place.
We had another experience just yesterday. We happened to have the keys to the church (which we never have) And one of our members said they were locked out of the church and they needed us to come and bring the keys to them so they can get their stuff and go home and have dinner. Well, we come by and there was another family that was there that I had never seen before. Anyways! I start talking with the family and come to find out they are super good friends with our members (the Martendale's) It was their first time at General Conference and they really enjoyed it. We asked them if they would be interested in taking the missionary lessons from us and they said YES! Isn't that so cool?! Right timing, Right place.
We just had General Conference this week and a lot of the speakers focused on our missionary lessons! Throughout this whole weekend we were able to learn about the Restoration,Plan Of Salvation and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These are the 3 lessons we teach to people! It was just amazing the inspiration that came and the direction I was able to receive as I have heard these talks. I know that the messages that were shared this past weekend are true. I know President Monson is our prophet today, he has been called of God to lead this church. I know that through that same power and that same authority I have been called to share the Gospel to his children here in the Mississippi Jackson Mission. I know the Lord is mindful of us, he does know our needs. I pray that we will all put our trust in him more fully. Let him take control and everything really will work together for our good. I love y'all!! Have a fun week! (:
Love,
Sister Scott
I DID get your package! Thank you sooo much! We loved it! (: I did have a dream about you last week though! I remember it was of us reuniting again and I just remember holding your hand and just not letting go! I was soo happy to see you again!
yes I am getting ready for the my plan program that will help me to plan everything in more detail. I am excited! (:
Mom that was such a fun email to read! It is perfect because I really do miss watching those kids play!
I am VERY nervous about having my Homecoming report the day after we return from Mississippi, I just know it will be all raw emotions up until that moment I speak.(and even after) I think it will be great though and an amazing experience for all of us. I just sent Logan and dad some letters! I GOT DAD's letter and oh I just cried when I got it. I was soo happy to get it! Perfect timing.
I miss talking to you ALL of the time but this has been worth the sacrifice. Worth the changes and the people I met. My favorite speaker was Elder Nattress!! He did an incredible job! That would be weird to see your brother up there though that is crazy!! I also really liked Elder Eyring talk..he did amazing (:
