OH MY GOODNESS thats so wild!!! hahahaha we are freaking out best email session yet. hahaha hey i have a quick question so her sister alyssa shes got a boy is he cool? soeur winter wants to know lol shes never met him and they are thinking about marriage. Wild stuff.</div>
this week was so cool!! we did exchanges with soeur jacobsen and soeur hoover!! oh my goodness they are such good missionaries. We FOUND TWO COOL FAMILIES!! oh my goodness and we met one not through our efforts but the members!! best way to do missionary work. So cool story the occoliers need to move and they had this couch they needed to move but they dont have a big car so they found this man somehow with a huge truck that could move everything from one house to the other. They talked to him he gave them his phone number and said if they needed more help to give him a call. So the occoliers called him the day of there actual move to come over and then they called all the missionaries lol and so we all helped this family move. and at the end we asked them if they were interested in learning about the message and they said YES and we taught them this week!! they are SO COOL. and we taught them with the occoliers and it is just a beautiful thing. im supper stoked about them.</div>
I LOVE This running photo of you and soeur winters mom!! its awesome :)<br />

Soeur Winter's email:</div>
<div>
This is a funny story!!! So just to start everyone is catholic here and so one day we were going to an appointment so we parked our car in a parking lot then when we came back we were blocked in my a million cars hahahha...so what do we do? we measure the car with our arms and run though the cars decided that we could make it but it would be close hahahah :) i get in the car and sister driggs is directing me hahahahh quickly we found that this was gonna be eaither a funny story or a bad idea hahahahhahahhah </div>
we continued we made it out of our spot to where we were parked like in the photo ahhahah then we started the advance forward hahahah we quickly found that we could make it but the cars were within inches apart ahhahah we finally decided to wait it out until catholic church was out hahah we waited and prayed and finally at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1557452961" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8 pm</span></span> they were done and we got out with no scars ahhahah it was the craziest trust exercise between me and sister driggs ahhah and absolutely funny beyond belief ahhahaha!!! </div>
so this week one of my dreams came true i had one day were i only taught members lessons and only served people it was the best day of my mission we taught, found and served people all with members involved it was the best and it really strengthen my testimony of the importance of the members!!! we dont come from here people dont always understand us and they dont think we understand how hard it is here but then the members teach and testify with life experiences and it changes everything!!! i mean EVERYTHING!!! people are even more open to listening to us if we have members with us because they see its not just a church of white missionaries... this was a great week did tons of work and just found 5 FAMILIES!!!!!! MIRACLES!!!!!!! we have been fasting ad praying for families with cars and boom this week we found 5 the lord is so kind!!!!</div>
i absolutely love being with sister driggs she works so hard and never thinks of herself and is truly christlike she pushes me everyday tp be better!! im so grateful for her and her example to me!!!</div>
we also had an exchange this week with the sisters from Guyana its was fantastic we have the best sisters in the world here so smart, close the the spirit, so willing, and obedient!!!! I LOVE THEM ALL!!!!! </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We did exchanges again this week with Soeur Covey and Soeur Gomez mom Soeur Gomez is from Guatemala when you went there where did you live??? It was such a good experience working with them. I am always so impressed with the faithfulness and faith of these other sisters. Its incredible and they all just have this huge desire to do missionary work! and are just so firm in their faith. I feel like i have never learned so much in my life. Especially how much Christ loves each one of us. And i loved in Conference how important it is to be obedient and remember christ in all things. HE never forgets us and we need to remember him to think of him more often. And to be truly obedient in keeping his commandments. I donno that hit me really good, anyhow when we are more obedient we accumulate more light within us because we are coming closer to christ. oh my goodness i loved conference. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

Soeur winter and i want to live together for forever hahaha im thinking ill stay in utah but just in case. ;) anyway I LOVE YOU!!! </div>

I learn so much from them its crazy. Soeur Cruz has this amazing testimony about the atonement of jesus christ and just taught me what she did to apply it and to learn more about it we had a really cool experience together!! and then with Soeur Hyde oh my goodness she's so smart and just loves the gospel and loves making it fun. We just laughed and went around having so much fun. </div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

Someone i have been working with a Lot is Soeur Pluton she's a grandma and she will do work with us for 3 hours at a time weather were teaching lessons or tracting she's a stellar member missionary!!! i sent you a picture of her today!! Ive learned so much from her just her patience and love for the work and christ. She has been a member for a long time and served a mission with her hubby at the temple i think I've already told you about her but she's just amazing!! haha we did a lot of work with her this week =)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div class="gmail_extra" style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Dad!! </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> hahahaha you got fried!! your all red. and you look HUGE, mama!!</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">this week was good!! we did exchanges with the soeurs that live in martinique and this week the sisters from grade will fly in and we do exchanges with them. i love going on splits here you just crush it with missionary work when we do that. The stay for like 2 or 3 days of just non stop work. its awesome and I've never been so tired ever lol but its all good never felt like I've accomplished so much either!! anyway pictures coming your way!! love you :) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to be honest we dont have the resources to even do that!! im telling our zone leaders to buy us more book of mormons!!! i dunno why but we only get about 68 per transfer... WERE GONNA CHANGE THAT THOUGH. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">so i actually have a question we were talking to a member here and he has lived here for his life and the church has been here for about 30 years there is about 75 to 80 active members that come to church every week. They want to grow and get bigger but he said the missionaries always come in and give the same speak that with our faith and with members working sharing with there friends that it'll grow and he said they've been saying that for about 30 years and nothing has really changed. he said they need a next big idea to talk to masses of people and do bigger things that are different to share it. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">in my head i thought well my dad always has really big ideas so i wanted to ask you if you did anything or see anything that maybe we could try here. The elders talked to him about going on the radio and soeur winter and i are going to go to a huge place and chalk draw the plan of salvation on the sidewalk and just try to talk to masses amounts of people. but if you have any other cool ideas LET ME KNOW. the 100 bomp idea im gonna beat you. hahaha game on! once we get more bombs... </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">LOVE YOU DAD!! send some pictures of fishing stuff the big cage looking thing they put stale bread in it and fish i guess just flood into it! supper rad. anyway have a good day!!!</span></div>

MOM this week was so good and we got our transfer calls saturday im staying here with soeur winter they said its probably my last transfer here :( that made me real sad i love it here!! so were just gonna kill this transfer lol before i forget can you send me some of that facewash again?? the panolyx stuff lol i dont think i spelled that right and some makeup from bare minerals light 2 concealer its in a small round thing its like a cream? kinda lol and then eyeshadow i left some at home just the brow pallet annd then mascara you wouldnt believe how expensive makeup is here. i never wore it before but i have to know cuz we go to meetings and i gotta look nic lol also!!! we made a game plan with a member to do an easter activity with her family and like all their friends!! they dont do easter egg hunts here so if you could send some easter eggs that would be SO COOL like maybe 100 of them they dont know what it is here and we want to do something fun with all the kids. sorry i know thats kinda a lot if no not a problem we can figure something else out :)</div>
anyway this week was so good!! we have seen so many miracles every week so we saw colette yesterday and had a lunch with her and her son started reading in the BOOK OF MORMON!! he sat down with us said how his mom is so much more happy since she began meeting with us and going to church and that he would like that!!! so cool weve started teaching him. And then there is this less active here he served with his wife in the temple in germany for a few years and now he is less active but his wife is very active lol and the missionaries havent been able to teach him but we saw him the other day cuz we finally made those cookies with the cookie mix you sent us for christmas and he was like cookies? lol so we ate with him and are going to start helping him in the garden SO EXCITED gardening here is not like gardening back at home they use machete's here lol and lots of other cool lookin things lol its so fun!! and he started re reading in the scriptures oh my goodness it was amazing. anyway this week was good!!

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">THANK YOU:):) it just had been in my thoughts a lot and to tell you so last week i told you and i havent thought about it since!! which is cool cuz I've been trying to figure out how to get it off my mind. and that did it lol but it still feels right today so thats real cool lol (this is about mom checking into nursing programs)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">so cool. yeah UVU would be great!! yeah sorry it was on my mind so much i can't even explain it i even prayed to stop thinking about it cuz my mind like wasn't on missionary work.. i didn't like it. felt like i was sinning lol and i had a thought to tell you but i pushed that off for a while cuz i wasn't sure but then i didn't stop thinking about it so i told you and it was incredible i could think about missionary work again. havent giving nursing a second thought. so that to me was something i really needed to tell you lol :) and i feel happy about it. MOM how are you?? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">oh my goodness that looks like so much fun!!! tell freddie and alex i say hi!! and to met with the missionaries and that i want to give them a book of mormon. What about leah?? she's getting with the missionaries??? :) so cool. you are such a good example of just how to always share the gospel with everyone you have just no fear! </span><br />

I HAVE THE COOLEST STORY you gotta tell stephenie!! So this week we started seeing this less active her name is Joanie she is 16. How she found the church : she read twilight and LOVED it. like all 14 year olds do . she was baptized at 14 lol anyway she read ALL the books then wanted to know about the author so naturally she researched lol and she found that she's mormon so then she went to the lds website and like researched the church. She found a place to contact missionaries from the lds website and signed up for missionaries to teach her and her mom. she got baptized a few months later and was supper active for a moment. it got hard on her cuz her moms not a member but were working with her now. she LOVES the church though so thats supper cool. I just love how someone so far away by just being them who they are can effect people even people you havent met yet!! stephanie had to write twilight because joanie had to be a member. the lord works by small and simple ways. he loves all his children. anyway i was just so overly excited when i herd about how she met the missionaries.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
other cool things so we went to Barbados this week for an MLC meeting so cool. We had a hotel right on the beach we could hear and see the beach from the balcony.. crazy... anyway now to the good stuff we talked a lot about the atonement and the enabling power of the atonement it not only allows us to repent but to help us through the hard times. if you look at nephi when his brothers tied him up and he prayed not to be taken out of the situation or pray saying why me help me but he prayed that the lord would give him strength to break through the bands. and he did. thats the enabling power. or I've thought a lot about the pioneers and just how they went through just crazy things that truly sound impossible to me. to think of what they ate how long they walked and just thinking i walk all day just me and my sac and im really tired by the end of the night!! how in the world did they do it? and its that enabling power the strength that heavenly father gives us to go through hard times. its beautiful. anyway it was an amazing week!! so many miracles :)</div>

I dunno why but i can't shake it from my head I've been praying for the past few months on and off to know weather or not that was something i needed to do. and i feel really strongly that i need to do that. its kind of the same feeling i had right before i decided to put in my papers i thought about going on a mission for a good moment and then i decided to go and that was the best thing I've ever done. and now i feel the same way about being a nurse for kids with cancer. dunno why but its just real specific and i feel like i need to do that....<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">mom i just want to let you know how much your emails mean to soeur winter and all that you do for her we were talking the other day and she just goes I LOVE YOUR MOM i dont even know her but i love her i love that she emails me and she began to cry and your emails all the little things you do mean so much!! i dont even think you realize it but they do. so thanks so much :) i love you!! hope to be like you one day your such a good example to be of being truly good without guile! I LOVE YOU:):) xoxo</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
hahahaha thats awesome im sure that was so fun :):) wow third place!!!! thats insane. shes so smart i love you boo!!(brinley got 3rd place in a BYU high school student writing contest) oh man im gonna have to have tate teach me one day (snow boarding) lol is it still snowing up there??? its still real toasty down here lol<br />

<div>
so this week was so good!! we had the soeurs from Guyana come up this week so soeur jacobsen and soeur gomez!! they are so cute!! so soeur gomez is from guatemala so if boo want to pratice little spanish i know she would love a letter from her lol but we saw so many miracles!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so there is this thing called the jugglier. I LOVE IT. its the best way to teach the restoration im gonna explain me first experience using it. so we found this single mom with 5 kids and soeur jacobsen and i were like... lets try the jugglier. so you lay out pictures in a certain fashion and it just makes the restoration make sense! so we did it. </div>
<div>
ok at the end of this lesson her kids who are about 20 18 17 somewhere around there were like ..."mom am i baptized? will i be able to live with god again??" another kid... "hold up! so your tellin me that no other church has the proper authority of god on earth..." another "i am concerned and confused how do i know if this is true??" IT WAS SO COOL never have i taught the restoration in my entire mission where the people i was teaching just understood exactly what i was trying to tell them. Im gonna teach goob this before he peaces out cuz ITS AMAZING seriously. they want to learn more about the church asked if your church had a website and all that we invited them to come to church so this sunday exciting things will happen lol </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
This week was so good!! we did have a training meeting this week... Walked out of that just feeling ready to take over the world lol it was so good though. We talked a lot about the meaning and importance of repentance. And being able to use the atonement. They invited us all to repent and to study the atonement. I have been really studying the importance of repentance this past week and how important it is to continually repent and as i focused on it this week i found things i needed to change that arent awful things but just the little stuff and ive already seen a huge difference. Its been something as simple as changing my thoughts. well trying to anyway. Prayer plays a huge role in that lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We did an exchange this week too!! we did an exchange with sœur hyde and sœur cruz i hung out with sœur cruz for a day and wow we saw so many miracles. Sœur cruz just got out a transfer ago and she has such a powerful testimony. We had the opportunity to teach a less active member that has refused to see the missionaries for at least a year. It was incrediable!! He was so kind and we talked about faith in christ and repentance lol just loving repentance right now but it was so good!! he invited us to come back and help him garden.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
IM SO EXCITED YOU ALL GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!!! Is it just beautiful?? looks like you photo shopped it lol we actuyally met just this past week a man who did the same thing leah is doing he stayed with a lds family from park city. He said he never read in the book of mormon and doesnt really believe in god but he said he was interested to read it! So he said he started and were so excited for him!!! i hope that made sense? lol anyway love you!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
have a good week :)</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">this week on tuesday it was crepes day so everyone eats crepes hahaha so me and soeur driggs got them and contacted EVERYONE waiting in line it was very successful actually hahahah and pretty funny!! then we ate these amazing crepes!!</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
well besides that carnival started this week so pretty just dress up and parade around and party just for a striaght 5 days hahah everyone is very friendly hahah its rather funny!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We had an exchange with the bellevue sisters and saw a huge miracle because of it!!!! there is this family here the plutons and the wife is super active she comes out and teaches with us and everything its wonderful!!! the husband brother pluton is not active and hasnt been for a very long time and i have never even seen him because he wont come down and talk to anyone. He during the exchange we made hime cookies and soeur driggs and soeur cruz were able to visit him!!! it was a huge miracle!!!!! also we met someone who had been fasting to find an answer to what she must do to help her son!!! we were able to contact her and get a return appointment! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
we had a bunch of opportunities to give service to the members of the branch and then talk to them about us teaching their friends and we have a few members who are working diligently to find people for us to teach its so AWESOME!!! never underestimate the power of service and fasting and praying often!!!! i love this work so much we just had so many opportunities to reach out and uplift and teach people this week it was wonderful also we had ariel and luc and church sunday this is her first time they are a married couple with a mentally handicap daughter of 22 years old! please keep them in your prayers!!!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
in the lesson with them we had a few days before i had this overwhelming impression to tell her that the answer to her question would be found at church if she will come this sunday, as i told her this with tear in her eyes and mine i expressed how much the lord loves her she agreed to come to church it was hard she said because she had to really reflect on her life and all that she had done and all she had to change she only stayed for one hour but finally after months of teaching her husband shes taking the lessons and came to church it was HUGE!! next week she said shes coming agian!!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
i love you all and hope you have a great week!! please keep all the sister in this mission in your prayers there is soeur driggs, hyde, cruz, gomez, jacobsen, hoover, snow, covey, hannigan, needs and myself! please pray for their well being and the success in their areas!! i love you all!!! have a great week!<br />

this week was so good!! we have been trying to teach this Haitian family this past week and using all the Haitian creole i know which is no very much and then members who basically just teach the lessons lol but they are so cute!! its been fun getting to know them kettia loves cooking and says we need to learn how to cook like her lol in our first contact with her she actually taught us how to make rice and half way through talking to us she threw her hands up and said "i love you" in english it was so cute. We've been teaching her and her brother and her kids her mom lives in Dominica! so she learned a little english. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

wow so this week was so amazing!! we have been struggling with getting people to church aka no one has come for the first 5 week of the transfer, wow that was rough hahha but then after much prayer fasting many lessons we had 5 people at church!!!!!!!!! yes 5 in one sunday after 5 weeks of no one!! can you say miracle!!! it brought tears to my eyes to see that after a transfer of really hard work lots of walking and contacting non stop and finally we have investagtors we have people coming to church we have people who want to know if this is true we have people who are willing to act to find out the truth for them selves!!! We also finally had a member lesson!! This is something to important to this work honestly nothing happens in this work if the members arent a part of it especially here because we are just americans so we dont understand all their culture but when members from here come out and work with us they see that it isnt just an american church but it is the church of our heavenly father! There is a member here who told me this sunday i have made a new years resolution to work with the missionaries at least once a week! I thought this was such a beautiful goal and i love it so much i would encourage each one of you to do the same find the missionaires in your ward or branch and work with them!! This work can not move forward with out the help of the members! The lords way is through members and missionaries together lets do this work the LORDS WAY! I saw in the member lesson that we had it was alot easier for judes to come to church because he now had people there he knew! Please work with the missionaries help the lords work move forward how it should!!!!! we had at church judes, matthew, marie helen, robert and thier granddaughter! Miracles happen when members are involved! Are you doing all you can help the lords work move forward? Are we as members being missionaries as well? Are we as members all trying to be the light around our friends, neighbors, our coworkers, or anyone? Are we as members also prepared to give them an anwser of why we are so happy? if the answer is yes then keep working keep being this example of the belivers! if no talk to the missionaries in your ward and ask how you can do this! I would encourage each one of you to work with your missionaries atleast once a week and you will see a difference in yourself and in your wards!!</div>
So transfer news hahah I thought i would be staying here with soeur cruz to finish her training but then i got transfer calls and soeur hyde is coming here from gyane to finish the trainign of soeur cruz and me :) well after being in trainign or training someone for my whole mission and having 4 hours of studys i am being transfer, im staying on martinique im GOING TO BE WITH SOEUR DRIGGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<wbr></wbr>!!!!!! yay im so happy i cant even explain how i feel ahhhhhhhh yayayyayayay finally i get to be with her!!! She is a steller missionary and just so filled with the spirit and love of missionary work yayay we are going to be togteher and be the two sister training leaders for the french side sisters!!! im so excited i feel a little inadequate to be a sister training leader but the lord has put his trust in me so im going to put my trust in his and do all i can to help these sister progress and become the daughters of god that we are:) Im excited to go do work in docus but i will miss being on foot walking everywhere all day everyday! hahah i will miss that dearly i think we are just gonna do walking days me and soeur driggs hahha just cause im gonna miss it hahah im excited for this week and for what will happen i love you all and thank you for all your prayers and your kind words that help me every week i love you all!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
this week!!! it was almost non existent lol we just stayed inside for like 4 days soeur Jacobsen got Zekia.... its this mosquito disease that just makes you hurt.. and if a mosquito bites someone with this disease then bites you.. you get it. think vampire. but I didn't get it!! so that was rad. she's doing better now we can do missionary work again :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
COLETTE GOT BAPTISED it was so amazing. She was so excited she told us before that she just knew the things we were saying were true and just wanted to share the way she felt with everyone!! and that she couldn't sleep the night before because she was so excited. and right after while she started walking out of the water she ran to soeur Jacobsen and I and gave us the biggest hug and we all started crying then she started hugging all the members. It was a really good day.:) Then we headed to go see frère drapin and hes doing good he came to church again <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_61784665" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on sunday</span></span> showed us the pictures when he got baptized and we had a really good lesson with him! It was a really good week :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
We also met this rad Haitian family and they taught us how to make rice!!! ITS DELICIOUS. We tried to make it I added WAY to many peppers it was ridiculous hot and spicy. so well try it again and soeur Jacobsen said this time she'll be in charge of the peppers lol</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

oh my goodness this cardboard cut out is hilarious nice work on the cake!! its my favorite!!! lol hey if you havent sent the package yet wanna sneek in a little crystal light energy things lol some days you just get a little tired lol</div>
so colette is about 60 or 70 shes older but looks like shes 40... its crazy! and i didnt know either of them.. but thats cool for them!! hahaha you keep in contact with joe?? and transfers are in 2 weeks... were pretty sure im staying cuz jacobsens been here for 6 months and president doesnt like when someone stays longer then 6 months in one area but you never know!</div>
yess!! i love that scripture :) i think we should share that one more often with people here actually and well switch the word for love! thanks for that:) i even thought of a member who we could share it with later this week!! i found a quote that i really liked its "hope is trust in gods promise, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future." and how there is a difference in believing in god and believing god. and how we hope and have the faith that god will fulfill all his promises as we are obedient. i hope that made sense but thats what i found for this week!!</div>
the other soeurs are still with us!! there apartment fell through so they get to stay with us for a little longer :)</div>
This week was so good!!!! so colette is just so excited to be baptised she had her interview already and is so excited!! OH and then this week we kinda had all our appointments fall through lol so we prayed and we prayed saying specifically where we should go in the prayer gave a few options and we both turned to each other and said we felt impressed to go this less active part member family house lol so we went and they were not home. lol but we both felt like we had to be there for some reason so we walked to the top floor and rung the doorbell a nice lady in only a towel came to the door we began talking to her and she actually did most of the talking telling us about her relationship with god probably 10 min later she was like... come inside! and then went to the back room and put some clothes on lol and we had an amazing lesson with her!! we talked to her for a while and she told us that usually she doesnt talk to people like us and especially doesnt let them in the door but she said she herd a voice in her head that said "let them in the house" and then again she herd the same thing "let them in the house" so she let us in and said that the night before she prayed to have more help and guidance in her life and then we just showed up at the door and she said she felt so happy and that she know we were sent from god and then she came to church on sunday!! she told us she knows this is where god needs her to be and loved church. she calls us her guardian angles and it was just an amazing experience. mom i have never felt so close to the spirit in my entire life. or gotten so emotional so often and been so happy. I cannot describe the life as a missionary here but i love it.</div>
annd</div>
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATE!!! so excited for you and its so cool you get to receive the priesthood this week im sad i have to miss that but its truly such an amazing thing. LOVE YOU!!</div>

MOM!!! it was so good seeing everyone at christmas time :) everyone looks good cant believe goob was Santa thats hilarious... i cant believe ill be 20 either.... i remember looking up to people that were 20 and now im gonna be 20 i feel like im 14 for life lol but its been good!!</div>
THIS WEEK was so good:) remember colette?? well we taught her this week about the temples and talked about her daughter and how she can do the work for her and she was so excited!! in the lesson she began to make plans on when she could go to the temple and the different temples she wanted to visit i just started crying in the lesson i was so happy for her and her son was there for this lesson and she told us that he could see the difference in his moms life and we invited him to begin reading and praying and come to church with her to have the blessings that he sees in his moms life in his life too. He said he would and i cant describe how i felt in the moment but it was a good moment. At the end of the lesson she said she chose a baptismal date but didnt want to tell us the date until the next lesson so we have to wait 3 days!! felt like an eternity lol but her birthday is actually the 18 of janurary and she wants to get baptised on the 16 two days before so she can start this new year clean being a disciple of christ. I cried again lol i havent ever teared up so much in my life but i love it! Were so excited for colette and miguael its just so good.</div>
Lately weve been working with this less active man named frere drapin. he is one of the nicest people i have ever met!! We made resolutions with him last night and we asked him what he is going to be doing this year to grow closer to christ! He said he wanted to really study the scriptures to understand and know them (so were going to call him everyday to see how his studies went lol) to do genealogy work and come closer to church (im not exactly sure how to translate the work he used with it but it was something like that) it was such a good lesson!! he said he can come to church this next week and were so excited for him!!</div>
anyway i actually left my camera home so im supper sorry about that one... next week ;) ill send photos of the app too!! LOVE YOU!!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">MOM i have an engagement for you :) this is something we do every transfer but i realized it selfish to not share lol i know there are a few preach my gospels at home so every transfer here is 6 weeks so every 6 weeks we can switch it up!! but to choose a christlike attribute and study it for 6 weeks study what it means how christ showed us this attribute how the prophets in the book of mormon and modern prophets are an example of this attribute and apply it in your life!! right now im working on hope :) and every week ill share what i learned with you and what i learned from the week about it:) and then next transfer we can choose a different one!! we dont have to do the same one unless you want to but to work on them together would be really cool :) anyway i hope that made since it talks about a few on page 117 in preach my gospel!! LOVE YOU:)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">This week has been CRAZY but so fun its been transfer week and you'll never guess BUT GUESS WHO IS ON THE ISLAND WITH ME!!! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
SOEUR WINTER:):;):):):) were not comps but were on the same island so thats cool. lol They dont have there own place to stay yet so they are staying with us and its awesome! they'll stay with us until the 30 i think! its been real fun :) Her comp is soeur cruz she's from sagas and she's so sweet! i like her a lot!! </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
So we found this family a while back i think i told you about them its a family of 6 mom dad 2 boys 2 girls everyone is older then 16 and they're just the sweetest family!! We've been teaching them for a while now the mom when we met her said she had a conversation with her daughter about how she can become closer to christ and the next day we contacted her!!! So we taught them and earlier this week we talked to them about their prayers and the importance slash how its helped them in their lives. They dont all pray everyday or as a family so we made them all prayer rocks so they wouldn't forget!! one morning on a run we picked up a few rocks lol ill sent you a picture of them. In the same lesson we taught them about reading in their scriptures and going to church! THEY ALL CAME TO CHURCH THIS SUNDAY minus the dad but he had work. It was probably one of the most exciting experiences of my entire life. im not even kidding when i saw that lol i was so happy to see them all walk in. They said they felt good and they felt happy we talked to them a little about baptism and they said they'll pray about it and oh man it was such a good week. ALSO they taught us how to make the national dish of saint lucia sword fish! and boiled bananas it was not very good but im excited i know how to make it lol </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Then other miracles we visited this less active man this week he hasn't been to the church for a while but when he went he was like supper crazy active!! had like 4 callings and just loved it. He was baptized in france but then moved here and stopped coming to church :( BUT we saw him this week and we took a member with us and by the end he was like..; alright i think i need to come back and offered to give this member who gets stops on sundays to give her a ride!! AHHHH it was such a good lesson!! he didn't come... but next week! lol i can feel it:) </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
this week we've been teaching a lot about the plan of salvation and i just want to say that i love our family i love that we can all be together for forever its such an amazing thing!! Its so powerful teaching it to families too cuz god created families on earth for us for us to grow together to practice his gospel and come closer to him. Its such an amazing blessing he has given us.

MOM!!!<br /></div>
its christmas time!! </div>
soeur jacobsen got real sick this week just so many random things happened to her she got like jardia and then some weird thing happened to her face it got all swollen and she broke out in hives it was not supper fun for her. She is a newly lactose intolerant i feel so bad for her lol but this week is going to be better for her we said a prayer and she's feeling good!!<br /></div>
Colette is doing so good!! she has to move so she's moving about 40 min from where we live when before she was only about a 5 min walk from our apartment. She is doing so good though!! working on closing her bakery on sundays and just loving church!! haha i just love her so much. We had zone conference this week!! every zone conference they randomly choose 2 people to give a talk and i have been chosen every zone conference to give a talk lol<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
for the talk this time i talked about the apostle peter and how he starts off saying to christ "lord depart from me for i am a sinful man" and the lord then replies "fear not" and just how peter starts off feeling so unworthy and its through his experiences in this life that made him this great apostle whose testimony changed the world. and how its easy for us to compare ourselves to peter that through our experiences our testimonies can grow and we can become these great disciples of the lord. An attribute that peter has that i love is he has the most interesting combination of boldness and fear he had enough faith to walk on the water but then he denied our savior three times anyway thats was just a little schpeal. i love you all and i hope you have a good week!!<br /></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
yeah!! wasn't it so good!! we watched it last night at like <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_61784648" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9:00</span></span> cuz were 2 hours behind utah but it was amazing!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Colette is doing so good!! she read this week in the book of mormon from 1 nephi to ether!! we were both like.. uhhh just had no words we were so excited for her. She believes the book of mormon is true and just goes of on the blessings she's seen in her after she started meeting with us. This week we invited her to close her bakery on sunday and she was all for it! we invited and she was like yeah alright i can do that. It was so cool!! she has a testimony of these these things and its just amazing she's going to get baptized on the 19 so just keep her in your prayers! actually she defiantly starts work every morning at 2 in the morning were going to see if we can help her one monday morning and maybe learn how to make some pain of chocolate! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jordan is doing really good he keeps telling us all he wants to do is follow christ and is just searching for what christ wants him to do. Its so cool to see how humble the people here are and so many people we are teaching right now just want to follow and be on the right path to follow god. The people we teach are even examples to me and how open their heart is and there strong desire to follow god in their lives just amazes me everyday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Its christmas time!! I absolutely love christmas lol its probably one of my favorite times of the year:) its just filled with love and people just love singing here lol I loved the song that Motab sang last night i dont know what the songs called but its off the verse in 2 nephi 19:6! just a special time to think of christ and what he has done for us and what we can do for him. we ask a lot of people here how they show their love for christ in their lives and in return how christ shows his love for them personally. We get a variety of answers but one of my favorites is comfort how god doesn't take away our trials or difficulties but he helps us get through them in Mosiah chapter 24 it talks about how the people are persecuted and god doesn't deliver them from their trials not right away anyway but in verse 15 it says the lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease, and they did submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the lord. this just seemed too be an ongoing theme throughout this week but its true and I know the lord is with us always and through growing closer to him we can find comfort and paix dans notre vie et its just amazing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
anyway love you!! hope you have a good week!! </div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">YES SNOW!! haha its still so hot here lol and we definately missed the fact that it was even thanksgiving... i was on for nightly phone calls and elder c was like well happy thanksgiving good night! and then i turned to soeur jacosben and was like.. hey its thanksgiving today... at that moment we both just had two huge bowls of ice cream to celebrate lol it was fun! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
Jordan is doing good!! still going strong i think we are working with him a lot but he's so ready and he has this desire to know if these things are true and just loves the message so were stoked for him. ALSO i gotta tell you about Colette I'm SO EXCITED FOR HER she's amazing so this week we just stopped by her house to say hello and she just gets so excited every time she sees us i love her! and on tuesday we had a lesson with her and we asked her the blessings she's seen from keeping our invitations slash the commandments and she went off for like 20 min on how many blessings she's seen and how she is just a happier person and even in her bakery she's seeing blessings and she said her son who is currently not taking the lessons said he can even see the blessings the difference in her and now he wants to learn more!! he wanted a book of mormon for himself so he could know slash have these blessings for himself. It is just so cool to see how the things that god promises us are such a real thing!! Colette comes to church now and every week she is just like "this goes by way to quickly!!" she's loves it!! oh my goodness im getting so excited just writing about her lol anyway that was a huge highlight of my week </div>

MOM we had just the coolest experience this week on friday it was amazing so we went RCLA hunting this week and while we were looking for this person we stumbled on this family of like 10 people we told them we are looking for someone and then they were like well wait who are you why do you have badges?? we explained and they told us to sit down they wanted to talk to us. So we just taught this family of like grandparents there kinds and then there kids the restoration and gave them book of mormon and then they said to come back next saturday cuz thats when they'll all be together again!! after that they said they think that the RCLA person lived in the house next to them which was also just more of there family its just this huge family that lives in the same neighborhood! so they walked over with us to see if out RCLA was there and he wasn't bet then the next family was like well who are you and so we explained again and there was 21 people there just all sitting outside on this deck asking us questions so naturally we taught them about joseph smith and the book of mormon we didn't have enough books for everyone but they said to come back next week too!! now this entire family is 7th day Adventist and so they got a little funny when we said our sabbath day is on a sunday and so I just testified that we can know these things we can know if joseph smith is a prophet and if the book of mormon is true if we pray and read and after they were all like "amen!" i just felt like in that moment we were living the stories in the book of mormon for some reason and were going back this saturday to teach them again cuz they want to see us again which is so cool. and even better the less active is a member of the family and so we get to talk to him as well lol it was honestly such an amazing experience! </div>

The best part about the week though was probably when president herrington came to speak to the branch we had a little fireside. He talked about how in life we have a lot of ups and downs life is good and then sometimes it gets hard its not so good but how are faith everyday needs to be increasing through the good times and the bad and that it should not falter with the sate that we are in. it should just always be increasing and invited us to think about things we are doing everyday to increase our faith. We had an investigator there his name is jordan he said he wants to do everything he can to be baptized after that. We told him to go home and to write about how he felt and to not forget it and to keep the engagement that president herrington gave us. I think i have decided one of my favorite words is remember. anyway i hope everyone has a good week!!</div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
I got homesick like once i think at the beginning of my mission. just like a random day i looked up and saw the clouds.. a little weird i know... thought of home and then we have to get on our bikes and bike up a huge hill and then my thought went to heavenly father please help me bike up this hill lol but no i dont get homesick its just a little different you dont really have time to think about yourself or family its just like how can i help the people here and things like that you know?? i think it be different if i had down time though lol YEAH kennedy is awesome!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
remember that one time we volunteered at keen and that required us just basically running for a solid 3 hours with some kids and it was the best three hours of our lives!! i remember that lol </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the branch here is small its just like on top of this car garage place with a laminated sign that says church of jesus christ... but its growing we had like 15 investigators at church on sunday between all the missionaries so good things are happening lol i dunno when i start driving i think soeur jacobsen loves driving so I'm guessing not for a while lol and its the same as america the right side. round point are the best things invented!! and banks is coming here on the 1 so she'll just bring it with her! it'll be good :) thanks for sending it!! also tell grandma thanks for the letter!!!!! i love her:)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
alright this week lol i dunno why but this week was just full of so many miracles!!! like so many it was incredible i loved this week lol we started off the week teaching this woman from st lucia its another island and they speak english there so we teach her in english SHES SO CUTE and she has really bad eyes so she had trouble reading the book of mormon but we told her she could listen to it online and i think at our next lesson she had gotten to like chapter 15 in first nephi and she just LOVES it!! she said she wanted to get baptized and now her and her and her boyfriend are working on their papers to get married:) gaah so cool and then her friend was in the lesson with us just cuz she was hanging out with justina and her friend was like well i want this book and we said she could definately have one lol and now were teaching her!!</div>
<div>
we have been trying to help luke share these things with his wife like the book of mormon the lessons and explain what this means to him and this week he did it!! he read in the book of mormon with his wife!!! and she's going to be at the next lesson with us:) </div>
<div>
rene joseph we met him like two weeks ago and he is my favorite person reminded me of grandpa driggs 100 percent just the nicest person and he started reading in the book of mormon and praying about it and just accepts everything we invite him to do!! </div>
<div>
Lastly collette she started reading in the book of mormon this week too she got to chapter 8 i think and just understands everything in it!! she started reading it and then all the sudden she found the time to come to church and pray and read more she says she loves the book of mormon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
basically the book of mormon is so powerful!! it gives us strength and encouragement to continue and for me personally just help me feel the love of god the love he has for all his children. i think its hel 15:7 and it talks about how its through the power of the scriptures that brings us to have faith in christ and to repentance and its so true! oh my goodness i love the book of mormon lol more than i ever have in my entire life!! :) it just fills me and the people we teach and see with so much joy its incredible!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
anyway sorry for the novel i was just so stoked on this week lol there were so many other miracles too just like random people helping us out!! anyway i love you!! hope you have a good week :)<br />
<div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
soeur jacobsen is from montana she's so rad seriously we get along so well she actually has a pixie cut and prayed before her mission that while she was out on her mission she would meet someone who can cut her hair when she found out i could cut hair she was so very excited!! then when she met me she was like god definitely does answer all our prayers lol it was hilarious now i know i was sent here to cut soeur jacobsens hair and maybe do a few other things. </div>

coolest thing this week!!!! we met this woman named mariessa last week and shes so cool we met her sunday gave her a book of mormon read a little with her and invited her to read it! we saw her tuesday she had read 70 pages in the book of mormon!! said she loves the book and loves the way she feels when she reads it!! so we invited her to be baptized and told her to pray about it. we saw her again saturday with a member and followed up on her reading she was in alma!! we asked if she prayed about the baptism she said she did and when she asked she said she felt closer to christ and said she will do anything to be baptized. its just so cool to see how the book of mormon and prayer and coming to church plays a huge part in our conversion!! it took her a week to do this and to find an answer! she was even baptized a year ago into a different church but we asked her to pray about the priesthood and joseph smith and if this is the true church and she said she did this is the way she wants to go!! shes got a family and were going to start teaching her boyfriend too!! shes got 5 kids oh my goodness i absolutly love this work and the scriptures! i hope everyone is reading there scriptures everyday lol there so powerful and help us in our daily life!! gaah this week was such a good week :) </div>

ok real quick cool story we were riding down this hill and we saw this family pouring concrete so naturally we stopped and offered to help!! what i havent really realized before is how odd it probably sounds for two girls in skirts offering to help mix concrete cuz they laughed and were like are you serious so we got off our bikes and took the shovels and started helping it was so fun and just cool to help them we talked about christ and how important he is for us and how he is our friend and saviour and then gave them a book of mormon and are going to see them this week but guess what this family is from cuba!! and they all speak spanish lol we are so excited to go see them again i just i havent ever really thought about how cool this is and how i dont know if i will ever have another opportunity to talk about christ and help pour concrete again you know?? i donno i absolutly love this work!!</div>

funny story we were biking on this road and this guy stopped us and said to come talk to him he starts speaking english without saying anything else he goes i am a man of mystery a man of poetry a man of some other things and was like i am looking for someone who understands me and soeur hannigan and i cut him off and said christ understands you and knows exactly how you feel which is so true he didn't really want to talk about the gospel but it gave soeur hannigan and i a good laugh! </div>
