Hey, Yall
The mission also fasted for 600 baptisms as a mission goal. Recently, Pres. Miller asked us to find out what our spiritual gifts are so I also fasted for help in knowing what my spiritual gifts are. It was amazing to look back on the day and see how God had decided to teach me and show me what some of these gifts are. I feel God's love and his grace as we work forward to find new people to teach and to testify of his word. As part of that, we taught primary this week! And it was so much fun! We were teaching them about what missionaries do for sharing time. At the end of the lesson, we gave all of the kids a service scavenger hunt. They have to go do so many things for so many points, then on Sunday they get to find us and we will give them a prize! They are so exited! It was so much fun to see there reactions and hear all of the kids telling there moms about it after classes. They are the cutest kids ever. It will be so much fun to have them coming up to us on Sunday.
We have a baptism for a 12 year old girl coming up this Saturday. This girl is amazing. On Sunday, she sat with her friends at church and they had been whispering about getting up to bear their testimony. The girl didn't know how to say one. So her friends mom got up and taught her how to bear her testimony through example. After the testimony meeting, the girl came up to us and told us that she had thought of a testimony and she wanted to tell us it at the end of tomorrow nights lesson. She is truly amazing and has the sweetest spirit. She asked me to give a talk on baptism at the baptism! And because of every one that we have had to work with to help her out, we will have the bishop, stake president, and very likely President Miller there with us! Ekkkkk! But I know it will be fine. I love this girl so much. I cant wait to send y'all a picture of that!
I got the Ensign today! I cant wait to look through it! Remember, Transfers are Nov. 20th and I won't be able to tell you if I am staying or going till the day before that. And what kinds of things are y'all wanting from NM for Christmas? Oh, that reminds me. I kinda really really super a lot would love and need a GPS about any time or as soon as possible and still kinda on sale ish. :) With training ending there is a huge chance that Sister Lindsay will leave and I will have the area. But we think that we may be getting white washed so I am not so sure. But then, no one is ever completely sure about any of this any way.
How are y'all liking feeding the missionaries still? What kinds of things are they inviting y'all to do and how is your missionary work as a family progressing? I always need new ideas! So our mission has about 167 missionaries right now, but we are allowed to have up to 175. With the new age changes, we are now allowed to have up to 250 missionaries!!!! ITS SO COOL! But they will not really start coming in mass until March, which is good for me because I definitely am not ready to train other missionaries yet. scary thought. We also got a report, that on average, there are about 50 Sisters at each BYU ward turning in mission applications! Its so cool! Its kinda funny, we keep telling the missionaries that will be going home soon that they have till March to find a girl to marry before all of the 19-21 year olds are gone. haha. However, Hermanna Henderson goes home in March and she is way looking forward to having all of the younger sisters gone. Its all just funny and we just laugh over it. To tell the truth, all of the sisters look at "going home and getting married" "texting a boy" or whatever as super disgusting. We have a lot of fun. One sister who left, got engaged 5 weeks later, and married shortly thereafter sent a wedding pic of her, and an elder she served with back here and all of the sisters wanted to throw up. it is sooo amusing. haha
HI TO BROTHER AND SISTER MORRIS!
I love y'all so much!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I can't say it or write it enough!
Sister Elizabeth McShane
