Hello Family!!
So this week was amazing!! We got to go to the temple after Zone conference. Zone Conference is probably one of the highlights of my mission. I love being in a Chapel with over 50 missionaries and being taught from President Young and his Councelors and the Assistants. The spirit it so strong and you learn not only from what they are teaching but a lot of personal revelations comes. We talked a lot about the Enabling power of the atonement, if you havent read the talk from Elder Bednar from this aprils ensign read it, it will bless you in every aspect of your life.
So we did a session at the temple, and well it was terrific. When I got done I was walking out of the dressing room and a Sister from my last area started telling me of some things going on up in Roseburg. The ward is being hit pretty hard with some trials, and I was really sad to hear it. While she was talking I had the thought I needed to get going so I wrapped up the conversation and left. As We walked out into the hallway, These small temples have one hallway to the Baptismal font to the right or the left for endowments. Anyways, I walked out and Saw Linda and Gary! Linda is one of my converts from my first area, and Gary is her husband. I loved them so much, they are like family. Seeing them there was probably one of the best moments of my mission. They were there to do baptisms for the dead. It was so great to catch up with them for a minute and just hug them. I was able to stop by the house for about 15 minutes a few months ago when we were at training in medford, but let me tell you this was just great. Seeing a recent convert in the temple, is the most fulfilling feeling in the world. They will be able to get sealed this fall and I am so Excited for them.
Saturday we went out to Glendale. The town is a little sketchy.... We were walking out of an appointment and this parked car had a rifle across the front seat, my companion wouldnt let me take a picture :( But even better a few miles away we were driving and there was this kid maybe 14 holding his gun and a dead turkey posing for pictures. His mom looked ridiculously proud... I love it here!
Yesterday at church our investigator Kaalyn and her Husband Shane were meeting with the bishop so Me and my companion and our Recent convert hung out with her kids, they are 5, and 3. They are hillarious. We taught them about the temple. When we told Cam, the little boy he could be with his family forever he looked and opened his whole mouth and gasped. It was sooo cute. As we were entertaining him he kept asking for his mom, so I told him we were playing hide and go seek and that his parents were looking for us. Then the little girl started talking and he yelled "SHHHH THEY WILL HEAR US" he got mad at anybody that talked for the next 5 minutes. He then needed to go potty and he came right up to my face put his hand on my shoulder and said" I NEED TO GO POTTY" obviously we cant take him, so I was like "Cam what are we going to do, Maybe we could sing a song?" I sang popcorn popping 3 times, then asked if he wanted another song, He looked up and said Yes then whispered. " the popcorn one" that kept him occupied until his parents came out. Later that night Kylee the 5 year old said "Dad you know we can go to the temple and be with our families forever? (then looking at the friend that is not interested at all she says) Got that Jasmine?" it was cute and hillarious.
The work here is going well, I forgot my camera cord which stinks cause I have lots of pictures. But next week you will see!!!
I love you all, keep the faith.
Peace and Blessings
Love Sister Rose
