Dec. 15

What a good week this has been! 

Everyday my heart fills with more and more gratitude for a loving and personal Saviour who wants nothing more than for me to return home. Each day is a day of decision. And that includes the decision to believe in Him, to follow Him, and to be obedient to His commandments. We all have the choice. And we all have a feeling as to what is right. But it's up to us to actually decide. The Atonement of Jesus Christ enables each one of us to repent and to forgive, to find peace knowing that we can stand confidently before the presence of God. 

Andie is progressing towards the 28th! 

Sister Hancock and I sang in church yesterday and she stood on the little kids stool because she is so short. Everyone loved that. And I love Sister Hancock. She's a hoot! 

We accidentally got roped in to joining the ward choir.

I went on exchanges to the Spanish ward and loved it! I met the most wonderful people and felt such a powerful spirit! Sister Adair is fabulous. 

I also went on exchanges with Sister Caisey. She is also wonderful. We beatboxed and laughed a lot. She is so cute. I love being reunited with my former Grand Junctionites.

Lastly I went on exchanges with Sister Harper from none other than.... BUTTE MONTANA. She is a giant (6'1) in the best way. We had a grand old time and tracted into a 80 year old woman named Faye who wants to learn about the gospel! 

We volunteered at the Santa Shop. I did the exact same thing last year! Over 4000 kids will have a Christmas because of this event. It was so much fun! I love the spirit of giving! 

I am so blessed to be on a mission at this time of year. To see all the people around me and know that each one will have the opportunity to live with their Father in Heaven again. And that each good thing I do know will influence them for the better to choose to return. 

I hope you each take the time this week to ponder the meaning of Christmas. What has Christ done for you in your lives? How will you show your love back to Him? And how can you share that love with other people? 

I love you all! Have a great week!

Love,

Heyo family!

On exchanges with Sister Mataia from California, it wasn't until the very last house of the day that we tracted into someone that was open. It was even in a ritzy neighborhood, which sometimes scares me. A little lady named Sherrie let us in. She's Greek Orthodox and has been cancer free since March. Her hair is still very short and her skin is covered with pock marks and growths. We started talking with her when a little girl appeared at the top of the stairs. She cautiously made her way down. Then proceeded to ask her mom who we were. We introduced ourselves and then she told us who she was. Cheyenne is her name. She's 11. She's got an incredible light about her. And she's blind. We watched He is the Gift with them. Her mom read Cheyenne the words. Cheyenne is very special. She sang us a song and then asked us who is the Father and who is the Son. She was so excited to learn about God. We set up a return appointment for the very next day. When we went back and taught her again (sadly her mom was watching the broncos game instead) we shared the plan of salvation. When we shared with her that she would have a perfect body forever, meaning her eyesight as well, she exclaimed, "Oh! That's amazing!" I often forget how blessed I am to have all that I have. And dear little Cheyenne reminded me to be grateful for all that I do have. We asked her if we could bring her a braille book to read (book of mormon) and she said that would be great as long as it did not have any contractions. Oh how I love this little girl! 

Andie (learned yesterday her real name is Andaleeb) is officially getting baptized on December 28th! She was interviewed by President Murdock yesterday. Because she is of a Muslim background, President wanted to ensure that if she was baptized, her safety would not be at risk. Andie is one of the most selfless, giving, caring, humble, real, genuine people I have ever met. I wish I could express to you how much I love people! 

On Friday night we were privileged to attend the Lakewood Symphony and Mormon Chorale in concert. Andie and Zaim came. It was such a fabulous evening. Us missionaries were the ushers and greeters. Unfortunately, the hermanas got in a car crash on their way so we had to go pick them up. They were in sketch Denver and there was no place for us to park. So I parked in front of a bus stop sign, thinking we would only be there for a few minutes. As we were helping them get things out of their car, a bus turned a corner. My heart dropped, I yelled, "a bus!" and took off sprinting while holding a large box full of pamphlets and Book of Mormons. When I got there I hopped in the car and then it hit me, what I am going to do? Drive away without my companion? So then I awkwardly sat in the car while people got off the bus and then it drove away. At least I helped to alleviate the tension and concern at the site of the accident with my ridiculousness. While listening to the wonderful music at the concert, it really hit me that the Christmas season is so wonderful because we are able to remember the reason why we feel good when we do good things. It's because it is what Christ would do. He is real. He loves us. He wants us to be happy. 

At church, we had 3 investigators come! Charleen, Colleen, and Andie! Our ward did such a wonderful job at fellowshipping and helping them feel welcome. Plus we had the cutest young couple randomly come to church! Sister Hancock and I thought they were members at first. But then we started talking to them. Kyle and Becca are their names. Kyle visited SLC and some sisters there really encouraged him to attend a sacrament meeting so they finally did. And we set up an appointment with them on Friday! Miracles! 

Sunday night we were privileged to dine with the Gunthers and then watch the Christmas Devotional with them. They are office missionaries who also serve in the Lakewood ward. Sister Gunther is also President Murdock's sister. She told us some pretty great and hilarious stories about President Murdock's youth. Why am I so blessed? The Gunthers are so genuinely good. I love them. 

I attended the temple this week for the first time since February. What a blessing that was! Sister Knecht and I were on exchanges. Unfortuately Sister Knecht was feeling really ill. And we accidentally slept through the alarm. Sister Hancock and Sister Remington came to pick us up to go and they forced me to go instead of Sister Hancock. Why am I surrounded by the nicest people on earth? How blessed I was to attend the temple with my trainer three weeks before she is done her mission! She is so great! And I looked like I had just woken up (because I had) so please don't mind the pictures. The temple always fills me with such good feelings of love. It's really hard for me right now to believe that God loves me, even though I share that with people every single day. And it's easy for me to believe it for them. But in the temple I remembered. 

I hope you all have a great week and really capitalize on the wonderful time of year this is to share what we know to be true. That Christ really was born here on Earth. He accomplished all His Father asked Him to do because He loves us and He loves Him. And I love you all too. 

Love,

Sister Turner

Merry Christmas! It's quite frightening to me that it's already December. But I'm working through it! haha. 

This week was great! I love Lakehood. (that's what I have lovingly nicknamed my area). 

Colleen called us on Friday morning and asked us to come take her cigarettes, ashtray, and lighter from her! Hallelujah! She came to church with her husband Lenny and her crazy 2 year old Laraja. And she also came to a baptism later that night. She is so excited to get baptized! Colleen comes from very humble circumstances and has struggled with addiction the majority of her life. It's so amazing to see how Jesus Christ is helping her truly change. 

We have awesome investigators named Andie and Zaim from India. We were privileged to eat dinner with them on Friday! We ate delicious spicy food and had tea with saffron in it. It was so kind of them to have us there and welcome us into their culture. They are so cool! We showed them He is the Gift. The only mildly awkward thing was that Andie kept mentioning that in her culture they always have all body parts covered (except head) and our legs were showing....Whoops! 

My new district is weird but great. It' s just us and 7 elders. We had a district meeting on Thanksgiving and talked about goals and such. I was probably a little too bold. But I guess that's just who I am now haha. 

I get to drive all the time because my companion got in a crash a couple weeks ago...(and she has a court date in January woot woot!) And I put our car in metric so I could understand the temp. Unfortunately I left it like that, so when we reported our mileage last night we did it in kms. It looked like we had driven about 30,000 miles last week hahahaha. ROAD TRIP.

I went on exchanges with Sister Arnold. I felt so close to the spirit the entire day. She is pretty special. We shared He is the Gift with a random family washing their car and the spirit was so powerful! Sister Arnold is great! And she's from New Hampshire and wishes she was Amish. It was so wonderful to feel like I was still a capable missionary as that's something I've been struggling with. I just need to remember to think outside of myself! 

I hope you all have a great week! 

Love,

Sister T

LAKEWOOD, CO. 

That's where I'm at. Last year at this same time I came to Denver and served just north of where I am now. 

Leaving GJ was harder than I wanted it to be. But then again, I want everything to be easy. I am so grateful for the people there, for the way they have changed me. The best part was that I got to stop by and see Milt and Patty before I left. I don't know of any two greater people in the world.

The work here is going swimmingly. We have two people on date for baptism! Andie and Zaim are my favorite! They are from India! And they are reading the Book of Mormon is Urdu. Plus, while we were at their house last night, I got to have a nice chat with Bashir, Andie's dad. He's about 75 and is blind and was sitting on the floor wrapped up in a blanket because he was so cold! Andie and Zaim have an incredible spirit in their home.

My new companion is Sister Hancock. She's 20, 4'11, from Texas, and I have served around her before in GJ! She is so fun and happy all the time and is definitely a good influence on me! I am excited to learn from her!

There are 7 missionaries that serve in the Lakewood ward: us, our zone leaders plus they have a tripanion, and a senior couple, the Gunthers. 

The Lord is hastening his work. Go to Christmas.mormon.org on November 28th and watch the "He is the Gift" video. As missionaries, we got a sneak peek. It's incredible. Share it with everyone you know. We have pass along cards for it and we have the challenge of passing out at least 10 a day. It's going to be great! Anyone who watches the video will feel the spirit. 

We have 5 sister companionships we get to do exchanges with. And one of them is Sister Remington! I'm so happy we will be reunited her very last transfer! And two of the other compships are hermanas! Espanol here I come! 

We had a really fantastic Zone meeting this past week. The zone leaders put in a lot of effort. We had a special Christmas room set up to introduce the "He is the Gift" initiative. The spirit was strong! And Sister Murdock came! 

I didn't include any pictures I took from my departure from GJ last week so I will include some of my favorite people as well! 

Change is hard. You could probably say I haven't been adjusting to it as well as I could be. We were able to go to the mission home this past week and I had a good long chat with Pres. Murdock. It's so great to live so close to the mission home. I'm learning how to give things over to the Saviour. And I'm learning that I still am too hard on myself. But it's okay because I can change through the Atonement. He is the only way. I also received a blessing. Of course, it was exactly what I needed. I can't comprehend how my Heavenly Father always knows exactly what I need and he is more than ready to give it. That is what I am grateful for. A Father in Heaven who is easy to love. 

I hope you all have a great week! 

Love,

Sista T

Hilt-dawg and I on our very last run. It was FREEZING outside. 

My new group of sista friends and riding on the transfer train in our mission hutterite van, lovingly nicknamed "bertha."

Nov 17

My time to leave GJ has finally come. After 9 months here (aka the length of a baby), I am headed out tomorrow! My guess is Denver but only time will tell. Deja vu of last year. Wish me luck in the snow. And with trying to pack all the stuff I've accumulated. WHERE DID IT ALL COME FROM?

Two investigators are now on date for baptism. Katherine and Ashleah. They're so great. I've learned that this is what I do on my mission and that's kind of why I knew I was leaving. When things start going good, I get the boot. But I am so glad about it and I could not be more grateful for the time I have had to serve and learn here. The people here have helped me more than I could ever help them. 

Yesterday I was overcome with so many things. The 6th ward has become my home (which is ironic because my home ward is the 6th ward...). I have only been here 3 months but it's like I've always been here. As I sat in church, I was overcome with how much I love the people here. THEY ARE THE BEST. I can't explain and you'll just have to come meet them. They are so giving, caring, selfless, devoted, funny, loving. All the things that I need to be. It's hard to leave because this feels like my home. But I know that God has a plan for me. And for the people around me. I know that I've done what I needed to have done. As soon as we are told about transfers, Satan tries to convince me that I have done nothing good in my area and that no one cares. But it's not true. I can say with integrity that I have tried my very best to do all that I could here. What really matters is the people here know that I love my Saviour Jesus Christ and that obedience to His teachings brings happiness and peace. 

God knew I was leaving and so for the past 4 exchanges, Sister Hilton stayed in the 6th ward and I went to other areas. That's just what made sense to us, even though it didn't technically make sense. But now we know why! 

I love Grand Junction with my entire heart and soul. It's hilarious because before my mission I just thought of Grand Junction as some weird little hick town in the middle of nowhere. But now it's one of the most sacred places to me. This is where I have learned who Christ truly is. And it's because of the people who live here. 

I am so excited to try and be a missionary somewhere else. I can't even remember a time before I was here (JK) but 9 months seems like forever. I am excited for a new challenge. For a new opportunity to learn. For a good humbling experience. 

Never before in my life on Earth has the eternal plan of our Heavenly Father's been more real and more important. I know that each day is an opportunity to show God that I am on my way back to Him. And that I am privileged to help others on their way. He is helping me with every single decision because this truly is the most important thing to Him. I  just wish all of you were with me here every day to experience the things that I am privileged to. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SERVE A MISSION. 

Here's to Grand Junction! 

Con mucho amor,

LA SEMANA DE MILAGROS. 

Hermana Bittle

I got to be in the Spanish area! Hna Bittle has only been out for 11 weeks but took over the area like a champ. It was fun to read a lot of scriptures in espanol and say prayers. A lot of our appts cancelled but we kept the faith! And miracles happened! We randomly had a lesson with an 11 year old Kimmy, her member mom, and their wml. Kimmy has never agreed to a date because she is too scared but we got her to agree to pray about December 15th! I couldn't understand much but I sure felt the spirit! Sister Bittle helped me so much. She reminded me that I don't need to be so hard on myself. It was exactly what I needed. I realized also when I come home from my mission, I will become fluent in espanol. I'm going to do it! 

Sister Smith

I came out with Sister Smith so it was fun to serve with her! She is from Wisconsin and has a fun accent and is the only member in her family. She's awesome. Sadly our exchange was cut short because of the next point....

Elder Rhodes and the Sister Leadership Meeting

Elder Rhodes, the 70 representative in our area, had a meeting with all the women auxiliary leaders in both of the grand junction stakes. Randomly we were invited to go, along with the APs. Sister Hilton and I had to cut our exchange short and race to the G Rd building. Before the meeting, Elder Rhodes introduced himself to us and told us that one of us should be prepared to recite the First Vision and bear testimony of it during his talk. YIKES. I spent the rest of the time before his talk trying to say it in my head. I couldn't focus because someone else was speaking and then I got even more stressed because I couldn't do it. It was a nice little cycle. When he finally got up to speak, he started his talk by announcing to everyone that we would first hear from Sister Turner. I knew it was going to be me...I walked up there and he stopped me. He motioned me to come closer and then whispered that I needed to bear testimony of the Atonement IN UNDER 2 MINUTES. He kept repeating that part and it was quite comical (at least now it is). He really wanted to make sure I got it. I walked up to the pulpit with no idea what I was going to say. And then I took a leap of faith and started talking. I shared about the feelings that I often have of self-doubt and inadequacy and how our Saviour is the only way we can overcome these things. I think more than anyone else there, I needed it. I needed to remember what I know to be true and to be grateful for it. And don't worry, I kept it under two minutes. Elder Rhodes is so amazing. He led a discussion by the spirit. My favorite part was when he paused and then asked, "Does anyone feel prompted of a question that is of general interest?" And then the discussion began. He taught us that we cannot force people to change or to be inspired to do more. We can only inspire them TO CHOOSE to be inspired, to be a disciple, or to change. And one of the ways we can inspire them is to pray with the spirit. The Lord knows what they need and now we just need to listen. I encourage you all to study D&C 46:28-32. I felt the spirit so powerfully. Everything that we do in the church focuses on families so that we can live with God again. He promised us that if we focus our efforts on eternal families, Satan will have no power to stop the work of the Lord. I also learned that in lessons if I leave out "I know that..." the spirit will bear testimony of the fact of something, rather than just the fact that I know it. Jesus Christ is our Saviour and Redeemer and it is only through Him that we will be able to return to our Father in Heaven again (and I know it too!). Another idea he presented was so simple but so profound: Heavenly Father is so easy to love. How often do I really think about how much I love Him? And how often do I show it? He's so easy to love that I think I often forget the fact that I do love Him. 

Colton and the Elijahs

As part of our missionary work, we teach the members the lessons at 8 pm. This week we had one with the Elijahs after our meeting with Elder Rhodes. We were both filled with the spirit and we taught them the message of the restoration more powerfully than I ever have before, especially at a member's home. Afterwards, Brother Elijah told us how much he felt the spirit and that he knew we were worthy. That was one of the best moments of my mission. Everything that we have been doing is to build the ward, to strengthen the members, to gain their trust. And that moment was what I have been praying for and working for and worrying about, for the ward members to know that we are on their side and that we are ready. And then they gave us a referral. Brother Elijah works with him. He's 19, marrried, and has a baby. Last night we went over to his house, contacted him, taught him the first lesson, and he said he would get baptized if he knew that it was true. MIRACLES. And we already have a fellowshipper for him. 

Tiffany

Friday morning we decided to go on a different route than we usually do running, as it is now light out when we go because of daylight savings. Sister Hilton is inspired. She led us down a road we don't normally drive down in the light and we found a little street that we've never seen before. We mentally marked it. Later that day we headed back there to tract. It was cold, dark, and to be honest I didn't really want to be there but we went anyways. And then we found Tiffany. We did the survey with her. And we started talking about the book of mormon. They have mormon friends who have given them a copy of the bom. She has such a strong faith in Christ. She and her family were moving the very next day to New Mexico. We taught simply, powerfully, and with the spirit. I said a closing prayer. When I finished, her eyes were full of tears. She thanked us for sharing our faith. She said it was exactly what she needed and that because of us she was going to read the Book of Mormon. The last question we ask in the survey is "Would you like to be happier than you are now?" Tiffany's response was my favorite that I've ever gotten, "Happiness is a choice." 

Sister Elijah gave a talk in church yesterday. In it she included the idea that Heavenly Father is up there narrating our lives as we live them. When it comes time for a decision, He pauses. And He waits to see what we will choose, how we will continue, what we decide. And then He continues with the narration. Agency is true principle. No one can take it away and we decide for ourselves if we want to be happy or miserable. And in the words of dad, "Life's too short to be miserable!" It's a good reminder to me to be happy and grateful and humble. And I get to choose to be that way! 

Priesthood blessing

I've struggled with asking for priesthood blessings my entire mission. I've been struggling with feelings of negativity, self-doubt, inadequacy etc. I finally humbled myself and realized I needed help. It was hard. The best part was though in the blessing, Heavenly Father noted this fact. I was told that it took a lot of faith for me to ask and that I would be rewarded for it. He really is so aware. 

Shaylynn

She came to church! She's the first investigator we had at church all transfer. (YIKES. It's not for a lack of effort). She's 13 and her grandma randomly already comes to our ward even though we tracted into her! Kaylee Fullmer, her friend from school, came with us to the lesson and invited her! And she came! 

Losing my Journal

I think the most difficult, challenging, learning, stretching, growing part of this transfer has been the fact that 2 weeks ago I lost my journal. I've finally come to terms with the fact that it is gone. I've been hoping and searching and praying that it would turn up. I've learned a lot from this. Sometimes things happen that we can't control. I have written in my journal every single day of my mission. Thankfully, the one I lost only contained from June 2014 on. I know I am an organized person and I just can't understand where it is. But I know that God is aware of how I am feeling. At first, I felt sick. It felt like that part of my mission had not happened because it was gone. And then I realized what an opportunity this is to be grateful for my experiences that have changed me. I've been able to reflect on what really matters and I've started re recording those things that have truly made a difference in my life. I hope you all take a minute to appreciate those things in your life that have changed you because they have eternal purpose and meaning. 

I hope you all have a great week and that you know that I love you and that I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Nov 3

Of course, so many things happened this week that I don't even know where to begin! I do know that I learned how easy it is to be doubting, hopeless, and negative. It is difficult to be the opposite but it is necessary. Our area is struggling right now and as both Sister Hilton and I have perfectionist tendencies, we tend to blame ourselves. We don't really have any progressing investigators. BUT we have hope that things will change because we are doing everything in our power to change that (D&C 123:17). We've had to have some good long real talks about what is really important. I felt sad because I felt like I was back at square one of where I was when I first came on my mission. I was reminded though that in Elder Klebingat's conference talk some of our weaknesses will be our companions our entire lives here on Earth. It's all about taking the time to be grateful for the opportunity I have to learn more about the love and life of my Saviour. 

It's the most wonderful time! 

The week started out with Sisters Conference. Which is basically a meeting that we organize as Sister Training Leaders and it is for all the Sister missionaries in the area to come to! Sister Hilton and I prepared the best we could for the conference and I just was praying that it would be inspiring and uplifting for all of us! I do not know why I was concerned really, because we had planned by the Spirit! It ended up being such a good bonding and uplifting experience for all of us! The sisters are what really and truly made all the difference. They have such strong testimonies and insights. I learned so much and saw what wonderful desires they have to be obedient missionaries. In one of the trainings, Sister Hilton and I tried to be funny...I don't know how funny it actually was, but we had fun. We called it "A Sister's Guide to the Holidays" and we talked dressed up for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then Christmas and talked about how we could still do missionary work on these holidays. It was so fun! I AM SO EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS. 

Right after Sister's Conference, Sister Wetzel who is serving in Fruita came with me on an exchange. She is great! Unfortunately, the past couple weeks I have been struggling with this weird exhaustion where I fall asleep at all time and in all things and in all places. I was so exhausted on our exchange and I said really weird things and I felt really awkward all the time. I don't think Sister Wetzel learned much from me but I sure learned a lot from her. She is so hard-working, kind, determined, and caring. We found a new investigator named Amanda, who lives right by some members! And we visited with 2 new less-active sisters who have a lot of potential to progress! I called our mission nurse about my exhaustion and we've made some plans so that it's hopefully not so much of a problem. I'm excited to start staying awake during personal study and comp study and role plays and lessons and lunch and service and car rides and meetings...hahaha. 

Halloween

Our ward is the best! The Halloween party on Thursday was off the chain! (I'm working on the whole dignified language thing). Over 250 people came and had so many great costumes. We had a Halloween miracle and our investigator Michelle came to the party! Sadly she is moving to Golden soon but we're happy she could come. We met a lot of awesome non members at the party too! I dressed as a "cheetah" and Sister Hilton was sneakily Anastasia when she is dancing on the ship. On real Halloween we were supposed to go out and work and hand out Family History invitations but unfortunately I got sick. So we spent the night inside. We did dress up as each other though that day and we took some pictures with a timer! We wore each other's clothes, shoes, and nametags! 

Miracles

A lady I first met at the middle of last transfer with Sister Lara has 3 kids. One of them randomly came to church on Sunday with her Grandma. Her grandma isn't a member but has a friend in the ward who is! How crazy is that? And we had already set up an appointment to see them this week. The teenaged one was at the Halloween party and she already has a close friend in the ward, Kaylee! I love built-in fellowshippers. 

Sister Hilton and I have been stressing and praying as to how we should approach Miley, Ayden, and Dagon about meeting with them. At our Zone Conference this week we learned about the Ammon principle so we decided to put it into practice. We went by in our service clothes and asked if there was anything we could do to help. They wouldn't let us but Miley talked to us for a while as Ayden and Dagon destroyed their pumpkins. We have a return appointment for Tuesday. It was so easy and simple. It feels like a second chance! This time we are going to really focus on getting the members involved! As we talked with them, I realized how much I LOVE THEM and I am so grateful to have a second chance with them. 

Lessons Learned from Sister Hilton

Sister Hilton is pretty great. Actually she is really great. I am privileged to serve with her. Something she has taught me recently is to make a decision and then pray about it. Too often I pray with the intent of Heavenly Father just giving me the answer because I would rather not have to make the decision. As one of my favorite lines f rom PMG says, "Personal decision-making is one of the sources of growth we were meant to experience in mortality." I have seen my prayers become more powerful as I try to use my own brain to make a decision and then to ask God about it. 

We were also able to go to Tatianna's baptism this past Saturday. 

Sister Hilton tracted into her her first week in Fruita. She taught her for basically the whole six months she was there, and she was finally baptized!  She had a lot of fun trying to find a jumpsuit that would fit since she is about 8 months pregnant. Every baptism is so unique to each individual. Her husband, Damien was on his way, and running very late. The whole program was altered, and her kids Johnny and Andrew were a little rambunctious, but finally to all of our relief we were able to get Damien directions, and he came! As Tatianna got into the font, Andrew was yelling, "I want to swim" and there was so much chaos. As Tatianna began to be submerged under the water, the Spirit rushed in. The boys were both happily smiling, and Tatianna was crying and laughing as she came out of the water. The other miracle part was that Damien said a very heartfelt closing prayer. He talked of the exciting new adventures they would soon undertake. I felt the spirit so strongly at that point.

It was a much needed spiritual refresher to feel the Spirit so strongly throughout last week. So many people in Clifton and Grand Junction have so many hard things going on in their lives. Sister Hilton and I got caught up in the gloom of it all a little bit this past week. I felt as if there was this eery and weighing fog over everything. It was through feeling the Spirit that I was reminded that what I am really sharing with people is that there is hope. That hope comes from Jesus Christ. There is never a fog to heavy or a pit too deep that Jesus Christ cannot help us out of! His love is ever-reaching and is just always there. What a blessing it is to know that. 

Thanks for all you do! I hope you all have a great week and that you are able to recognize the hand of God in your lives. 

HALLOWEEN MIRACLE.  A man who has never come to church since I have been here came to the ward party and then to church!

Sister Hilton and I being each other.
