HAPPY THANKSGIVING PRISONERS

OH MAN! I am in the library LAUGHING MY EYES OUT because of that subject line. MAN Xanxan you are hilarious! Hello what have we here? (my comp loves starwars and so i conveniently quote many quotes that she does not think are that funny... but i laugh hysterically.... oh the whoas of being hilarious;)) So this week was CRAY! So monday was pday. classic Tuesday: We did service for sister huyck who is ADORABLE! And loves star wars! She went to some Star Wars convention down here and dressed all her kids up in cute costumes - totally adorable! Her husband is less active and sorta no longer believes from what i have gathered - ultra sad(anyone who feels like someone close to them is LA read the talk "Claim the Blessings of your Covenants" http://www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/general-relief-society-meeting/2013/09/claim-the-blessings-of-your-covenants?lang=eng&query=covenant+keeping ) its good. Then we finally met this Potential gator who really is just a woman who is SO willing to do anything for the missionaries! Her name is Shirley Zusi and she is friends with the Roberts in Sandy(thinks we should know them - who ever they are they left a great impression) She is so rad and I hope we can get closer to teaching her! Then right before dinner we knocked 1 door and got a potential! IT WAS A MIRACLE! we also were invited to just share a thought with a member fmaily - that is the best! When members just allow us to do what we know what to do - teach. No need to ALWAYS feed us - although we do appreciate being fed LOADS! We just want to teach! Fill the missionaries time with Teaching! THATS WHAT WE ARE TRAINED TO DO! Then WEd: we had a great dm about asking Qs. I am horrible at asking Qs to people so I am working on that. If anyone has any tips... HIT ME UP! Then we had cleaning checks... unfortunately we thought the senior comps were coming earlier than they did(other mishs apt were disasters apparently) so we did lots of inside stuff...boo. but it was a gross day also so no one was really out and about. OH and when the Senior comp The Gordons were leaving they told me that they talked to sister Parker and she told them that DORA and her SONS (logan and ashton) WERE GETTING BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY! THEY ARE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH! aAHHHHHHH! I ALMOST STARTED CRYING! IAMSTILLJUSTSOFREAKINGHAPPYABOUTALLOFIT! i LOVE DORA AIPA! (note: this letter is going to be much longer thansome... i guess i really wanted to talk today) Thursday was chilll....not remembering much of what went on... rained. that was cool Friday was chill too... SATURDAY was exchanges which were BOMBING! I was with sister Dunford in Longwood and we LAUGHED THE WHOLE TIME! apparently everyone wants to exchange with me so they can know what it is like to be my comp...#humble #boasting #repentingnow It probably isnt a good thing but the STL and i had a great time and i learned so much! She told me that she truly thought I was a great missionary - That made me so happy because I have been feeling like I am not great and really been beating myself up about my missionary efforts. But when she said that I was so happy! Then to make it even better i was studying the priesthood sesh talk by pres Uchtdorf(what a homie) "You CAN DO IT NOW!" and he said something that i absolutely LOVED! "Our destiny is not determined by the number of times we stumble but by the number of times we rise up, dust ourselves off, and move forward" GOLDEN right there! It totally pumped me up! I just want to keep going! I am just going to GINGER IT UP down here! ORLANDO isnt going to know what hit them!!! On a more serious note: it is amazing how the Lord reaches out to help you through so many different means; whether it be a letter, the words of the prophets, or a comforting feeling - He is always reaching out to you! I am so grateful for that!~ At this time I would just like to express my gratitude for all of you and all you have done to help me get to where I am today! YOU ARE THE WORLDS GREATEST!(now listen to that song and think of me) I would also like to express my gratitude for my Father in Heaven! I am so grateful that He loves us so much and sent HIS son to die for us so that we might live with him again! What a blessing that IS! HE LIVES! I know it and i love it! I love this chance that I have to help gods children draw closer to live with him someday. I love all of you! t-1 month till i see your faces. love you lots love the work and love the lord. sister ZOE HART
