HI FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

Did y'all get the pics? I didn't know if it went thru. 

This week was a good week! We had transfers and I get to spend my last little bit in the Independence 3rd ward and still at the VC!!! I'm so grateful. 

And I got my new little baby compy! Fresh from the MTC, Sister Licona is from Chicago, IL and she is the sweetest!!!! She has the most powerful testimony and we have had an amazing past few days! 

This week we have been able to meet 2 different couples who were members of the RLDS branch. They were both neighbors to our stake president who is a convert of the RLDS church. And he saw us out his window when we were knocking on our door and he's like, " Hey Sondra! (His wife) They're talking ....... and they're in!!!!" Hahaha just like we had angels cheers us on. One of the couples showed us all their Nauvoo paraphernalia, and also shared their testimony with us and got emotional and said you know, we are really just like cousins in our religion!! Haha they are sweet though. 

Okay last couple miracles that I really wanna tell is that on sis Licona's first day, it was CRAZY but we had a lesson with a less active named Mavis. Mavis is literally THE SWEETEST YOUNG Polynesian MOM!! She called us one day and she said that she really wanted to meet with us because she wants to change her life and come back to church. OKAY YA. So we met with her and literally just cried with her. She has the strongest testimony ever and I haven't seen anyone who has a heart as repentant as hers. We are so excited to meet with her again this Wednesday!!!! She's amazing!!! 

And finally SUNDAY WAS THE PRIMARY PROGRAM!! Aka the best Sunday EVER!!! SOO many visitors and soooo many cute scream-singing kids BUT IT GETS BETTER!!! So bishop was like hey turn off your phones for the sacrament so I was like ok I'll be obedient, and then I left it on silent after I turned it back on. We were just so into the primary program, that we didn't notice the missed calls and texts. So the elders quorum Pres came up to us and is like hey sisters there's two women in the foyer asking for you. They're investigators. Soooo we go out to find that LEAH AND HER ROOMMATE JUST LIKE DECIDED TO SHOW UP AT CHURCH EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT SHE PROBS COULDNT COME. But she started not feeling good so she was leaving, but she said, "I'm going to be here next week, and I'll stay longer :)" WOW MIRACLES PEOPLE!!!!! 

I love being a missionary. But more than that, I just love Jesus Christ. I love that He takes us in our weakness and makes us better than we could make ourselves on our own. I love that He loved us with a perfect love, so He loved a perfect life to provide the way for us to be clean. To change, to be perfect in Him. Friends, we were never meant to go through this life on our own. So if you're trying to do it all yourself, think again! It won't work! Turn to Him. Come Unto Him. 

You will find a new light in your life that wasn't there before. 

Love you all!!! Spread the love to others!!!
