Taking the Shots: CHANGE YOUR SPEED

Well we got tiwi's put into our car. Which basically is a device that
tells you to slow down, driver not there, or AGGRESSIVE DRIVING. They
are really nice as long as the coordinates and gps are coherent to the
actual mile signs posted. I was driving on this road and the speed
limit is posted as 35, well the tiwi says that it is 25, so we were
holding up traffic. (Oh by the way I drove in Virginia, mom. And I
didn't die,but we almost did. Not my fault though!) so anyways we got
tiwi's! They are pretty cool!

So we had zone conference this weekend down in Charlottesville! I love
zone conference! They are so much fun! We got to see President Wilson
and his wife! I love them so much and they are probably the best
mission president and wife ever! They love all their missionaries!
Zone conference was amazing!

We also had Return and Report! Where all the new missionaries from
this past transfer got back together down in Richmond to do some
finding. We went around finding in downtown Richmond where there are
cute little streets with a bunch of shops, especially antique shops!
(grandma you would of loved it, but Harrisonburg is better for the
small town shops!) Richmond was beautiful and I had an amazing time
catching up with my old Mtc friends.

This past week we have been meeting with Laurie and Tom daily. Laurie
is set for November 7th and SHE CAME TO CHURCH! Coming to church is
the first big commitment that people need to do to be ready to be
baptized. Tom is scheduled for November 15th and he came to church
too, but also went to his other church. He is receiving answers from
his other church more than this one. UGHHH! But it's okay! Taylor our
miracle, has basically disappeared. Which is soooo sad, and we miss
teaching her. She was going to fast for what she needed in her life.
So please pray for her.

We have been doing a lot of finding. But last week ( I forgot to tell
y'all.....) WE MET A WICKEN! Which is a WITCH! She is a white which
and she only does protection spells, but my companion, sister Johnsen,
loved listening and I was honestly afraid to say anything. But it was
kind of cool! My companion liked it a little more than I did.

Anyways this week was a lot better than last week, and I am finally
seeing that the little miracles are way better than the big miracles!

I am so grateful for this gospel and for this opportunity to teach
Young single adults that no matter what they go through Heavenly
Father has his arms wide open for us to return back to him. ( just
like the Prodigal Son) coming on a mission is probably one of the best
things that I have ever done, and will ever do (except getting
married). I know that the priesthood authority has been placed here
again because Heavenly Father loves us all!

I love you all and miss you tons, but this is where I know I am
suppose to be, and I know that I have been called here for a reason!

Talk to you all next week!
