April 4, 2016 - A spiritual feast

So, my mother graciously informed me that my weekly emails aren't very
good. So I will do them first so I have more time to make it good.




So this week was like a huge spiritual upliftment week. We had
trainer/trainee meetings, a special meeting for sister (since we can't
have sister training meetings anymore we now refer to it as SMS) and
general conference! It was awesome! Like the spirit coming out of a
fire hose! Best part of a mission is how strong the spirit is!


My favorite conference talk.... Well... I loved all of them! I got the
same message from like all of them. My question was how I can OYM
better (talk to random people on the street) and basically I need more
faith. Elder Eyring said "draw near unto me and I will draw near unto
you." The closer I am to Christ, the braver I will be cuz I know he
will be with me. Sis. Durham said "if we aren't careful the
things of the world will drown out the things of the spirit". The thing
of the world holding me back is fear. In the second session Mervyn E.
Arnold said "we must not delay going to the rescue!" I have been
delaying cuz I think to much. I hesitate going to talk to people. Those
are some examples of the answers I received. What kinds of cool things
did you all get from general conference?


We still go to the homeless shelter ever Saturday, best thing ever!!!
We meet some of the neatest..... And craziest people. But it is super
fun!


Well, the work is continuing up here in Alaska! This church is true! I
love it so much! And I love and miss you all!!!



Love,
Sister J
