Hello everybody!
It is a beautiful day here in Oklahoma!
In a couple hours we are going to Boomer Lake to have a picnic and
play games. I'll send pictures next week. Sorry I didn't write last
week... life has been pretty crazy. I don't have a lot to write this
week. I mean, a lot has happened, but it doesn't feel right to share
everything that has happened just so it can go on my blog. There is
too much to share. With that being said, I do want to share the
lessons I have learned over the last month or so.
1. God ALWAYS knows what is best.
2. When God prompts you to do
something, even when it is a scary thought, just do it.
3. There is no way to truly be LIVING
the gospel of Jesus Christ and be miserable.
Sister Loveland is my new companion.
She has actually lived in the same house as me for the last 8 weeks,
so we already know each other pretty good. She has just switched from
being a Spanish sister to English. That is a little bit of a
transition for her, but she is doing great! So right now I am in a
house with three other sisters who speak Spanish. I am learning quite
a bit of Spanish. (not enough to ever carry on a conversation. But I
understand a lot of what they say) I even said my first prayer in
Spanish today! Okay... I only started and ended the prayer in Spanish
and the middle was in English. One day I will be able to pray in
Spanish. (that is one of my goals before I come home. haha!)
There are a lot of 19 year old sisters
in the mission. I will send you a picture of all the sisters in the
mission about a year ago versus now. It is crazy! There are so many
more! It is wonderful!

I am still trying to figure out what my
role and responsibilities are as a sister trainer. My role is
different from a regular trainer because me and the other sister I
work with are to minster to the needs of the sisters in our region.
We are going to be doing two exchanges with two sets of sisters this
week and zone conference and then possibly two exchanges next week.
Life is crazy and super busy, but it is good. :) I love you all so
much! Thanks for everything you've done for me!
Love, Sister Record
