Settling In

I'm settling in OK everything has been good.The members are really good about feeding us dinner and sometimes even lunch. My companion is amazing, Sister Davis is an awesome trainer. She's going home at the end of this transfer so she wants to go out with a BANG! We've been working really hard to make that a reality. 

Something I forgot to tell you while I was in the MTC is that we had a Tuesday night devotional and Elder Rasband came a talked to us about the importance of missionary work. And that we, as missionaries, are called by either the prophet or one of the 12 apostles and that they take the time to read our bios and letters of recommendation and then are lead by the Spirit on where to send each missionary. It's really amazing. It really helped me to know with a certainty that I'm supposed to be in Colorado at this time and with President Murdock as my Mission President. 

I love hearing from everyone, please keep sending emails and even letters if you want. 

We wake up every morning at 6:30 and we exercise, eat, and get ready before 8:00 then it's personal study for an hour. During that time I'm reading the Book of Mormon cover to cover. Our Mission President has asked all new missionaries to read the entire BoM in one transfer (6 weeks) and to underline in red all the references to Christ and to write out in the back of the BoM on the blank pages all the names of Christ. Then at 9:00 we have Companion Study were we create the lessons for our investigators that we have appointments for that day. That's followed by training at 10:00 for an hour and then lunch at 11:00 and then we leave the house at 12:00 and usually we have just been tracting and going to a few appointments that we have during the day or doing service. At 5:00 we usually have dinner at a members house and can only stay there until 6:00 and then proselyting until 8:00 and then we have a member lesson with a family in the ward. Home at 9:00 where we do planning for the next day for a half an hour and then an hour to get ready for bed write in our journals and be in bed and asleep by 10:30pm. The days are fun at times and exhausting at others. But I have definitely been able to feel the spirit at almost every lesson that we have taught even if it's only on the persons doorstep. My testimony has grown so much in the past few weeks and I can't wait to experience even more amazing things as my mission continues. 

I love and miss you lots. *HUG* 

Love,
