"Arise & Shine!!" :)‏

Hello!! :)

Well great and exciting things and miracles happened this week!!! :) It was amazing!! :) First of all.. we had Zone P-day and a Specialized Zone Training that was sUper good!! :) I love our trainings!! :) I learned a lot and it's always fun to come together with the other missionaries and be strengthened and uplifted by each other! :) Another exciting thing is that Tatiana (the one baptized a couple months ago) went to the TEMPLE!!!! :) And did baptisms!! :) it was sO awesome!!! :) She said she LOVED it!!! :) And as she shared her experience with us it made us sOOOO happy!! :) She's amazing!!! And has great things instore for her and her life as she continues on the right path with her Heavenly Father! :) We are sO grateful she was able to go!! :) There were a few 'stumbling blocks' along the way that almost prevented her from being able to go (like scheduling an interview and getting a ride etc.) because Satan NEVER wants us to go the temple. BUT we with the Lord's help (definitely with the Lord's help /lots of prayer etc.) we pushed through it all and He provided a way and everything worked out!! :) yay!!!! SUCH a miracle!!! :) Satan definitley didn't want her to have such an INCREDIBLE experience of peace and happiness in the Lord's house but we are SOOO glad she did!! :) We love the gospel! and the temple!! :) The Church is sOOO true!! :) Never doubt it!! :) It's true!! :) And your Heavenly Father loves you!! :) You can know "the truth of ALL things" (Moroni 10:5) through personal prayer and recieve an answer through the Holy Ghost!! :) (Moroni 10:4-5)

We also had the opportunity to teach the young women on Sunday!! :) it was sOOOO fuN!!! :) Sister Pfister and I LOVE the youth!!! :) We were SUPER excited!! :) And it went well! :) We talked about how to "Arise and Shine!" And "The Power of Their  Righteous Influence"!! :) It was fun! We drew a "Shine Line" too!! :) (a number line) With 10 being LIGHT and the Savior! :) And -10 being darkness! :) We talked about as we do the things that draw us closer to the Savior we move up the "Shine Line" and become like him and our Light ("shine") Increases!! :) ha it was fuN! :) They are so cute! :) We love the young women in our ward! :)

Another great things is that Ute PRAYED AGAIN!!! :) AND CAME TO CHURCH!!!! :) Seriously, I never thought i would see the day that Ute would come to church!! :) IT was A MIRACLE!!!!! :D Thank you SOOO much for ALL your prayers!! :) She is making so much progress! :) Continue to pray for her! :) THank you!! :) And also for JANET!! :) Because she's amazing!! :)

We also had a fun Relief Society activity we got to go to on "Cleaning, Couponing, and Canning" and one of our Investigators came!!!! :D It was so exciting!! :) Everyone loved her! :) And she had a great time! :) Her name is Ann!! :) and she is GREAT!! :) Keep her in your prayers too please! :) There are SOOOOOO many peoople prepared here in Oklahoma and they are sOOO close to accepting and having the fulness of the gosple in their lives!! :) Satan will do everything he can to stop them from that and keep them from progressing so they need ALL the prayers they can get!! :) Thank yoU!! :) The Lord loves you!! :) The Church/gospel is true!! :) Stay close to Him and it alwaays and you will be happy!!! :) HAve a great day and week!! :) i love and miss you all!! !:) Let mek now if you need anything!!! :) love you!!! :)
