Hiya,
 
Sounds like you have had a good week. Make it so it's not boring and enjoy the business :) Don't let yourself pass life by enjoy it. Sometimes we let ourselves get so overwhelmed and busy with life that we don't take time to enjoy what we are doing! But anyway this week started out slow but was amazing by the end of the week :) Here is the highlight.
We have found an amazing lady named Jane. We knocked her door and got a return appointment. While we were talking on her doorstep we found out that she has family who are in our ward. It was so great to find that out. While talking she told us that she had no beliefs and didn't believe we were here for any particular reason and she was saying that when we die that's it. She said that she would like to believe but didn't really know. Of course we wanted to tell her all about the Plan of Salvation and of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so we asked if we could come back and share something with her. She agreed so we taught her for the first time on Friday. It was such an awesome teach. The spirit was so strong and touched her heart. She had so many questions about everything. So many questions that the Plan of Salvation can answer. We shared our testimonies and followed the spirit. At the beginning she did not believe in God and at the end of the lesson we invited her to pray to God and ask if He is there and promised her that if she was sincere she would receive an answer. As soon as we invited her to do that she put her hand on her heart and said, "Now that I have been talking to you guys and when you just asked me to pray I feel differently. My heart started to beat really fast and I think that I might believe and just not have realized it." It was amazing. We explained to her that it was the spirit that was making her feel that way and then we closed with a prayer and left. It was such a great teach and Sister Morgan and I were so excited. We said a gratitude prayer as soon as we got out of the teach to thank Him for the spirit that was present and other things.
 
We had stake conference and got to here from pres.eyring and some other general authorities so that was good. It was a satelite broadcast. Also about the pageant yes i have heard about it but i don't know if i will get to go to it. it's at the preston temple. It would be way cool if i got to go tho. also next week is transfers and a holiday so i don't know if you will get an email so if you don't get one then you know why!
 
life is good and i love and miss you all so much!
love syd
