Dear family and friends,

This week I've seen how the Lord waits until we cannot endure another second before He swoops in and saves us. I've seen how He is truly on our side and doesn't enjoy seeing us suffer but wants us to have success. Sometimes our own doubts stop us from seeing the blessings. I really want more than anything to come home from my mission a changed person, just trusting wholly in the Lord and His timing.

Yesterday I received some sad news. I was just in the Visitors' Center reading the Conference Ensign when Sister Larsen from Washington 6th Branch came in. She put her arm around me and asked me to walk with her. Instantly I knew something was wrong, and she told me that Mazie Breen, an older lady in her ward whom Sister Donaldson and I had reactivated and she went through the Temple, had suffered a heart attack and passed away the night before (Saturday night). It was such a shock and I just cried and cried into her arms. We both cried together in one of the teaching rooms and rejoiced that she had changed her life in time. She was baptized when she was 8 and had even been endowed when she was younger but after some years away from the Church we taught her and she went back through the Temple for the first time in like 60 years. Her husband was always against the church and left the home whenever we were there but Sister Larsen said that as Mazie passed her husband asked lots of questions and will even let her be buried in her temple clothes. It is incredible. She told me that Mazie had read the scriptures every day since we were there up until the day before she died and that she attended the Temple regularly and talked of Sister Donaldson and I often as angels sent from Heavenly Father. I will attend her funeral tomorrow and pay my last respects. Oh I was so sad when I heard that she had died. But she is prepared to rest in the arms of Christ.

Well this week we were able to find 3 new investigators!!! One is A, N's roommate.  We taught about Enos and the power of prayer and N taught him how to pray. When we got to the part in the story that says "Thy sins are forgiven thee and thou shalt be blessed" he proper perked up and was really interested that his sins could be forgiven him. It is a privilege to preach repentance and forgiveness through Christ's atonement to even the seemingly hardened football players haha. It is just the best thing to let people know that they can be whole again. N met with us on his own later on in the week and we taugt him the law of chastity. He has been with his girlfriend for four years so we knew that there would need to be some changes made in his life in order to live it. He took it really well and I asked him if he believes this is from God and he said "Well if you two say it is from God then I trust you" and it was so touching. It reminded me of the Book of Mormon when King Lamoni and his father trust everything the missionaries say. N is coming along slowly but surely. it will be a joyous day when he decides to be baptised. He came to Church for the first time in his own Ward and enjoyed it. So we're getting there!

Another new investigator is a CHINESE BOY named T! I LOVE HIM!!!!!! HE IS SO CUTE haha! His English has some improving to do but he LOVES the Book of Mormon and has read some of it already and we watched The Restoration in Chinese. He has accepted a baptismal date already and is just so pure in heart. We also found this boy named M who is very...depressed. The Elders taught him for a while but he lives in our area and he was abused for a long time as a child and doesn't believe that he is lovable and is sober from drugs, alchool and pornography. He got out of prison and is changing his life. He'll be a more challenging one to share the love of God with than T, but he'll get there. We don't give up just because someone's had a hard life, if anything he needs it more! But it is a joy to have all of these children of God being brought into our lives.

Zone Conference was wonderful! We watched Meet the Mormons and it was WONDERFUL! It was so weird to see clips of movies from the world but it was great. We heard music that wasn't Mormon Tabernacle Choir and saw Elder Niumatalolo who served in our mission whose Dad was featured on there and he talked on the screen a lot. We all cheered when he came on. Haha! Then we watched the new Christmas initative named He is the Gift, similar to Because of Him. The Church has bought the main masthead of youtube for advertising for the whole of December and a place on Times Square for the whole month too. Each missionary has been trained on how to give out the cards and the VC is getting a new kiosk of it. IT IS SO EXCITING! It is a wonderful video and touches me every time I see it. It will be available on christmas.mormon.org the day after thanksgiving. It's a nice easy way to share the gospel with people. It will touch many lives, and us misisonaries are being asked to record how many new investgiators we get as a result of it. Exciting!

Our little J got baptised this week! When she got out the water and was in the changing room she said "Oh my goodness, I'm a freaking Mormon!" hahahaha #ILOVEYSA because in Brazil her family members (cousins and aunties etc) were Mormon and they always annoyed her and she never was a fan of the Church but came here and went to the VC and felt something and read the Book of Mormon and just knows it is true! It's incredible - the power of that book. So her baptism went well and she brought lots of Brazilian non members there with her so we taught The Restoration while she was getting changed. She is moving back to Brazil in December so it's sad to think I might never see

her again :((( D got baptised last week in Provo and confirmed this week in his Ward and his non member family all came. We were actually giving the talks in Church and of course they were about missionary work so it was interesting to try and figure out how to talk about missionary work in front of non members, so I kept emphasising how we are all children of God and the worth of souls being great in the eyes of God. I hardly even prepare for talks anymore because I've served for long enough to have experiences that I can share and scriptures memorized etc, its truly a blessing or it would take a long time to prep for talks every single week! It's cool how every talk is different though! We spoke in the Young Single Adult 4th Ward last week and ate with the Bishop on Saturday and he said that three young women have come to his office to go on a mission since our talk. It was cool because I just felt strongly that I needed to talk about the things that hold us back from being missionaries like fear or feeling unworthy and how it's wrong. It's good to see that the Spirit can touch someone. We are making our way around all of the Wards slowly!

So we ate dinner with the Bishop and his wife and our investigator A who is having a hard time. Susan Black said she would come to the lesson with us but then couldn't so it was just us five there but it went really well. We focused a lot of the lesson on the great apostasy so she could see the need for a restoration and we had a great discussion and shared lots of great scriptures prophesying about the apostasy. She is praying about a baptismal date!

I went on three exchanges within the last week! #exhausting! I got to be with MY BABYGIRL SISTER GARCIA! She came into my area with me and we had a blast!!!! I love her so much! Then I was with one of the German Sisters that I'm already close friends with and went to her area and we were able to see miracles. We prayed hard to find one new investigator by the end of the evening and went to this recent converts' home who has a non member husband who comes to Church but has never wanted to learn.We just laid it out that if they want their family to be blessed they need to both go to the Temple! He accepted the invitation to learn for himself and we rejoiced so much! In YSA our lessons usually last about 25 minutes but I forgot how long people talk for in Family Wards, the old people just TALK AND TALK AND TALK AND TALK! Everywhere we went we were there for an hour!!!! But it was wonderful!

We've decorated the VC all Christmassy and it looks great! Thankgsgiving this week is looking good. We get to have a VC dinner and talent show with all the Senior Couples, then we were invited over to President and Sister Center's house with the Assistants to the President, and then our Stake President has invited us over! So it's all exciting!!!

I love my mission and I love my Saviour Jesus Christ.
Happy thanksgiving everyone! 

Love Sister Nicholls

Dear Family and Friends, 

Well I don't have a ton to report on this week. Our D got baptized in Provo! The missionaries tried their best to get their Bishop to sign the record so that he would be baptized into their Ward, but they didn't succeed! We don't have any pictures of it because it took place up in Provo! 

It's been quite a heart wrenching week really. We couldn't see A for one day, and the next day she stood us up, and the next day she didn't come to Church, and the next day she didn't see us, and we got increasingly nervous and when we saw her she just broke down and said that her mother back in Connecticut told her that she should remain Catholic and that the Mormon Church (insert all kinds of anti Mormon theories here) etc etc and it was so hard. She has taken it really hard and it's proven to be a huge stumbling block for her. So then she started to doubt everything she's felt and has drunk coffee again. We just bore testimony of Joseph Smith and we took her to the VC to watch the Joseph Smith movie. We think we'll get Susan Easton Black to talk to her too :) #stgeorgemissionrewards haha. We also had Elder Jensen give her a blessing, and it was an incredible miracle. I knew that she would need something very specific so before he came in to give her a blessing I just said to him that she was having doubts about Joseph Smith, and then during the blessing I was praying SO HARD in my mind that she would be told something very specific. He said something like "Your schooling will go well" and I thought "Oh great, she's not even in school, now she's going to be thinking this isn't even legitimate" and then he paused for a second and I prayed so hard in my head and said "Heavenly Father, even if no one else in this room has faith, do this from my faith, I know you can guide him and open his heart to the Spirit and open his mind to hear it's promptings and have the courage to say whatever the Spirit is prompting" and then he was silent for like ten seconds and we all held our breath and he said "Heavenly Father wants to tell you that your sister is okay." and then he closed the prayer. As he left she looked at me and said "What did you tell him about my sister?" and I said "Nothing! I don't even know what happened to your sister?" and she said ".....My sister died a few weeks ago!" and we were genuinely like :OOO  for reals my mouth fell open. It was incredible! What a miracle! It helped her for sure but she has still been avoiding reading and praying about the Book of Mormon. We don't even know what to do to help because we are trying everything we can. She still didn't come to Church. 

Then I wrote about K last week. Well we saw her each day and she was doing great and then on Thursday we came over and she started out the lesson by saying that "Sisters I have something I need to tell you....I just don't think I can do this anymore" and she BROKE DOWN and told us how much she loves her church and how her family dislike her investigating the Mormon Church and how much she loves the Pope and just was hysterically crying. It was so hard so we just sat there and listened and told her how much we love her. We resolved to just read the Book of Mormon with her twice a week. She said she wants to wait until the summer to convert so she can talk with her grandparents about it because she's super close with them and hates that she is hurting them. We just don't know what to do. But I've been studying more about the Catholic church and its really interesting. We read this talk called The True Church by Legrand Richards, very good. We had dinner with her last night though, it was wonderful. We are still good friends but we don't know what to do to help! 

J is still going strong and doing good :) she's our ray of hope. We went on exchanges with the Morningside Sisters. One of the Sisters is going home in four weeks and I was nervous for the exchanges because what can I even show a Sister as experienced as her? But a miracle happened because we were planning for the next day and forgot to plan for the first hour of the day! Just randomly forgot to plan! As I was praying how to help her that night before bed, because she'd just opened up to me about how hard things are right now, I just saw us sitting at the Temple talking, so we went at 10am and sat in the Temple grounds and I was led by the Spirit to know which scriptures to share and we just cried together and strengthened each other. We had a great day together. However......we had many people be HORRIBLE to us and tell us  horrible things about Joseph Smith and shout at us and give us anti Mormon literature, that I just ripped up as we walked away, and seek us out to shout at us and tell us every anti Mormon thing they could think of. Door after door. We got likened to Satan and we got told we are going to hell. It was ridiculous. I was so done. It was tough. Utah missions are HARD because there are lots of members but then there are also lots of people who hate Mormons. 

Well I have to go....we are watching Meet The Mormons on Wednesday for Zone Conference then J's baptism is on Saturday! So excited :) lots of good things ahead. Please keep us in your prayers, we need help. Sorry it's short this week, not much happened. 

I love you all

Dear Loved Ones, 

My transfer verdict is that I am staying in Dixie 1.5 with Sister West. This transfer is only going to be 5 weeks because a 6 week transfer would fall on Christmas Eve and no one wants to be transferred on Christmas Eve! So the next transfer will be here before we know it! We think I'll be staying in Dixie for another transfer after that too because Sister West is homeward bound in five weeks and unless they whitewash it this will become my second home. Which is nice because the longest I've ever spent in an area is three transfers and it's hard to get to know everyone and really feel like you're making a difference in two transfers, especially when half the time you're at the Visitors' Center. We
were observed by an MTC woman this week and she is in the Missionary Department for writing the curriculum for missionaries and Mission Presidents! She got home from her mission ten years ago and the purpose for coming out with us is because she writes the curriculum for the MTC and needs to keep up to date with what missionaries are doing and what challenges missionaries face. I was a bit nervous beforehand but she was REALLY NICE and literally followed us around listening. If we asked her a question she would talk in lessons and stuff but apart from that she was just listening and writing her little notes on her iPad haha. It was cool though because she taught really well and was just fun. And she had a car!!! We went for dinner in the evening with our new Stake High Councillor and his wife and she came with us like a trio!! I love our new Stake High Councillor and his wife!! It was good because knowing someone was following me around gave me the push to try my absolute best and I realised that I want to be that kind of missionary every day, no matter whether someone is following me or not. It taught me a great lesson that I just needed. 

Mission Leadership Council this week was wonderful. The other Sisters ask us what happens at MLC so I told them that it's actually just a big party for all the Mission Leaders at the Mission Home, we say that we are counselling on things but really we party, it's actually called MLP, Missionary Leadership Party. Hahaha ;) But it was a really spiritual meeting. We set the goal of 136 baptisms in our Mission in the month of November. That is higher than we have ever achieved while I've been on my mission. We calculated every single individual area's baptismal goals for the month and put it together. Usually we lower it a bit after adding it altogether but not this month - we are going for high goals. There were some doubting Thomas's so we all knelt down in prayer right there in President's living room while one of the Assistants offered the prayer to know if this is the Lord's will. The Spirit was so strong and afterwards we all just knelt there and agreed that this is doable. The Lord will teach us powerful lessons. It's great because now we are all personally committed and converted to this goal, then we had to take the goal back to our Zones and help them to be converted to it too!! Zone meeting was great and we had pizza at the end, what could be better? Our Mission is receiving a LOT of new Elders this transfer and only one new Sister, but a lot of Sisters are going home so a lot of Sisters' areas are closing and being whitewashed with Elders. So, a lot of Elders are going home in a few transfers and they are all the Missionary Leaders, so it was an interesting transfer because a ton of the Zone Leaders have been released and will train for their last transfer, and a whole Zone has been whitewashed from Sisters to Elders who used to be Zone Leaders but are now training. It's interesting!! 

I had the privilege of attending the Baptism of M in Morningside on Saturday. He is the man whom when Sister Donovan and I were on exchanges we knocked on his door and he said he wasn't interested at ALL. We walked away but felt strongly that we needed to go back and give him a Book of Mormon and when we did he was a completely different person and said he saw the light around us and when he shut the door on us he felt a power stronger than ever before and knew that we had done something right and that he wanted that light with him. We gave him the Book of Mormon and he promised he would read it. Well, I've taught him at the VC and over the phone and now he is BAPTIZED!!! I wish you could see the change that has come over this man. He was scary looking with long hair and stunk of alcohol and cigarettes and was just very scary and rough looking and when he got into that water I just couldn't fathom the massive change that had come over him. He had told us how uninterested he was and how he didn't believe in this at all on that doorstep compared to the man who gave up "all his sins to know God" and be baptized. He cut his hair and has Christ's light shining through his eyes. Oh it was so beautiful I wanted to cry. The difference it has made in this man's life. And I was thinking about what if I'd not listened to the Spirit's promptings to go back. What if we hadn't recognised it? I just love seeing how the Lord can soften any heart and all our job is is to follow the Spirit. Its just one of those miracles in my mission that I will always hold dear to my heart, to see how the Gospel changes lives. 

We had a miracle yesterday, we needed to find one more new investigator to reach our weekly goals so we prayed and prayed and had like 3 hours to knock on doors because we had a day fully in our area with no VC shift. We went to this Catholic girl's house,who we have seen many times and have developed a good relationship with, just to see how she is. Sister West just said to her "So have you ever taken the lessons before?" and she said "What lessons?" and she said "The missionary lessons?" and she asked what we teach so we told her that we teach about modern day Prophets and what Temples are and how we can be with our families forever and the plan Heavenly Father has for us to be with Him again and she said "Sign me up!! where do I go for these?" and we said that we teach them in people's homes and that we had five minutes right then if she'd like. She said "Yes!" so we sat down and taught The Restoration and it was INCREDIBLE. She said it all made sense and when we taught about Joseph Smith she teared up a bit and then just full on started crying and apologized! Haha I love it when people feel the Spirit and they don't know what it is!! She is just so in tune with the Spirit! At the end she prayed and asked God if this is Him guiding her to what the Sister Missionaries were teaching and if this is right! It was so cute. She is incredible and has such strong faith. I just love her already! 

One of my favourite things from this week is how well N is doing. We usually see him once a week but last week it was twice and this week it's been three times!! ANDDDDDDDD he came to Stake Conference with us, AND brought his non member roommate, also on the football team, AND he invited us over for dinner and made a legit dinner with chicken and potatoes and green beans!! Because he heard us say that for the day we taught him we'd had cereal for two meals and pizza for the other. He was so mad at us for not eating a proper diet that he invited us over for dinner. He also said that after he meets with us he just feels warm and good and that he knows the Book of Mormon is true. He gave us his home address so he can find the Chapel closest to his family at home because he's going home this weekend and wants to know where the local church is! He is GREATTTTTTT! When we were just talking at dinner time he was like, oh I did have a question for you guys. So we braced ourselves for a difficult question and he's like ....."How many outfits do you both have? Every time I see you you are wearing something different!" haha and it was just the highlight of everything. He is praying about baptism and we both just love him! He's just a good kid and we can feel the power of his spirit and know that the Lord has great things in store for him. For some reason we are taking it slow with him, we don't feel that we need to push a baptismal date or anything. I think it will come with time. 

J is doing wonderfully! She accepts every commandment and dresses like a Mormon! We taught Tithing and she just said that she knows this is from God already! It was great. D will be baptized this coming Saturday but up in Provo so that his non-member family can be there. He had to tell his sister (who is the only member in the family) that he wants to be baptized up there and to get the font ready etc and she told the Provo Missionaries and of course they JUMPED ON IT and thought it was their miracle for the month and tried to schedule lessons and a baptismal interview with him! We were like OHHHH NOOO YOU DON'T Provo Missionaries, HE'S OURS because he is going to this Ward and lives down here and will be confirmed into this Ward, he is just physically being put in the water in Provo and it escalated and so they just called us and we talked it out on the phone haha. PROVO MISSIONARIES TRYING TO POACH OUR INVESTIGATORS! So we won't see his baptism but it's better that his whole family get to be there for it! 

Funny experience last night! We went to the Devotional that happens at the Institute Building every Sunday night with our investigators and the guy stands up and is like "Today I'd like to talk about dating and the process of a relationship, the committment levels etc" and I just felt super uncomfortable and it got worse and worse and worse as he explored the amount of relationships you can have with a casual commtitment compared to a finalized committment and I just pulled out my Book of Mormon and kept the missionary bubble around me. It felt HORRIBLE! It felt like going to a party where things turned bad, and you have that horrible feeling and you just know you need to leave. Isn't it funny how missionary bubbles are so strong that even a Devotional about dating is awkward? So we lasted like 5 minutes of it and I said "We need to leave Sister!!" and she agreed so we got up and walked out and did missionary work haha!! 

It's been a great week full of great experiences. S who we baptized in Little Valley came into the VC this week and he is still doing strong. We read the Book of Mormon together. I just can't believe that I have only 3 transfers left. It feels like a stab in the heart every time I think that. How can it come so quickly? I feel like a Greenie still and have so muchhhhhhhh still to learn and do. It freaks me out. I just love my mission so much and love the people here. But I love you all too and am so excited to see you! The Christmas lights are up at the Temple and it looks great!! 

I love you all 

Sister Nicholls

PSSSSSS P-days are Mondays from now on!!

So Many Miracles!! - 4-11-14

I am going to type SUPER FAST SO I CAN TELL YOU EVERYTHING!!! 

First of all, our Asian baptisms were BEAUTIFUL!! The Spirit was so strong! Afterwards we just hugged and cried and smiled. I can tell that they will do great things for China and Hong Kong. H will for sure be a leader there! He is great! He bore his testimony at Church and said "I pray and get better score on my test, I think that is miracle, so I know God is there. My friend sick, I pray and she get better so I baptise yesterday, I guess that is miracle. I'm done now." and sat down. haha! IT WAS ADORBZ. Such a beautiful privilege to be there. If they are still here when you pick me up you need to meet them, you'll fall in love with them. Us and the Elders sung Amazing Grace for the baptism. I was super nervous as usual but Sister West is helping me to overcome my fear of singing in public! President and Sister Center were there as well, it was just a great baptism. 

For Halloween I dressed up as Sister Myers from The District, shout out to all RM's in the world ever! It was great! I felt so traditional haha until it got to like 80 degrees and I was boiling! We had to be home by 6pm on Halloween night, no proselyting and the Visitors' Centre was shut. So we met with our Zone Leaders and discussed the needs of the Zone and then met with the Assistants and practised our musical item for the baptism the next day. When I get home I can fill you in on all the jokes that happened that night, email cannot accurately portray all the details, but it was hilarious!! The Assistants are our best friends now. We carved pumpkins for District Training Meeting the day before and in keeping with classic missionary art I carved the plan of salvation and one of the Elders carved the First Vision (but he's annoyingly good at everything he does so you could actually tell what his was and mine was just blobs all over the pumpkin and an outer darkness haha) and Sister West carved a church haha. I love it! 

Our investigators are doing well. N from the football team is DOING SO GOOD! He makes me so happy!!!!!! He came to Church for the first time on Sunday and in our lesson yesterday he said he knows the Book of Mormon is true :)))))))))) He also said that he feels this warm feeling every time he meets with us. We haven't put him on date for baptism but he is praying about baptism. For some reason wtih him we both just feel that it needs to be taken slowly. And if that's okay with Heavenly Father it's okay with me! So we teach him once a week cos he is super busy but this week we got to see him twice!!! Things really are moving forward with him and it just fills my soul with exceeding joy. I love how when they truly read the BOM and pray every day it sincerely shows them that this is true. My confidence in sharing the Gospel has grown because I've seen how even the hardest heart can accept the Gospel. But he is just a good kid and has a good spirit about him. He is worried about his family back in California  rejecting him for thinking this is true so I told him all about you Dad and how you joined the Church by yourself. It helped :) J who got baptised in September just got the Priesthood and is doing really well! A the girl we found when we knocked on her window on our bikes is doing GREAT!! We see her each day and she is so immersed in her ward. Our Ward Mission Leader loves her and wants to marry her hahaha. #ysaprobs Yesterday we were going to teach chastity but she needed to walk to put her rent in that second so we went to her house and walked with her for like 20 minutes and taught the law of chastity while we walked. It was certainly a memorable moment that doesn't take place every single day haha! How often do you walk across a unviersity campus teaching the law of chastity? But she just embraces everything. SHE LOVED the law of chastity and the Plan of Salvation!!! 

We also found this Brazilian girl who LOVES EVERYTHING! and she has undergone a massive change of heart. She only likes logic and dislikes feelings but went to the VC and felt something powerful and said she needs to learn more. She's met missionaries in Brazil but she discredited everything they taught and didn't want to learn. But now she is like "Wow I was wrong!" and just embraces everything. She is getting baptized on the 22nd November, same as A. She comes to all the activities and is so well integrated. She was even talking to us about how she is ready to be in the minority of Mormons back in Brazil! When you go to Brazil on business again I need to come so we can see her :) I just love all these people so much!!! 

So we had a miracle on Sunday! It was Fast Sunday and I was fasting to be able to help someone who come into the VC. It's easy to get stuck in a rut when you've been there for 7 transfers straight and to just feel like you give the same tour again and again. But anyway this couple came and sat by the Christus and I was talking to them and it turned out he was not a member but she is. He said that he has always felt drawn to the Mormons though and asked me "How on earth does a beer drinking Brit get converted to the Mormons??" haha and so I told him all our family history of conversion, Dad, and Grandad Hatch, and how our family used to own a pub haha he liked that a lot. Anyway we were just relaxed and easy around each other and it was good to feel like I was supposed to be talking to them. So I said a quick prayer in my mind and felt strongly impressed to randomly start talking about Prophets and how I think it's amazing that our Church believes in modern Prophets just like in the old times and he looked at me and said "Thats funny you should say that because that is probably the strongest thing I believe in about your Church" and then I shared a scripture with him from 1 Nephi 10:18-19 and he said, "Where is that?" and I showed him and he said that is  the chapter of scripture he is on right now as he just begun reading The Book of Mormon!! It was so great and the Spirit was strong and it was easy to see how necessary this tour was for us both! And there was this YSA  boy reading The Book of Mormon behind us throughout this whole conversation and he comes in to the VC to read the scriptures each day and he came in yesterday and was like "Hey how did that tour turn out yesterday?" and it was cool because I didn't know anyone was watching. But I love being used as an instrument in the Lord's hands. Especially when He answers our prayers. 

Also Sunday was miracle day because we needed one more new investigator to meet our weekly goals. We had half an hour left before home time so we prayed and visited every single house we could think of. We didn't just pray that we would find someone, but we prayed that we would be led to the right houses, or that we would remember people to visit, and that they'd be home and that they'd hear their doors being knocked and that they would feel the Spirit when we talked and that we'd know what to say. The Lord blesses us when we are specific! We knocked lots of houses and were running round St George like headless chickens when I remembered a YSA girl who came into the VC and said she had a non member roommate. I remembered roughly where the house was and we found it very quickly and they invited us in straight away and we taught and she said she would like to learn more!!!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!!!!! I love how the Lord really is helping us every day when we turn to Him. 

This week we have Missionary Leadership Council, Zone Meeting, and on Saturday someone from the MTC is coming to observe us for the whole day!!! We will be in a trio. AND ALSO it's transfer calls on Saturday so I don't know when my next p-day will be! I could be up in Manti before we know it or I could forever be at the VC, who knows? So think of me on Saturday :) It's a nerve racking week with all of this!!! I love you all!!!
