Wow! What a week! So full of miracles! Heavenly Father is so kind and wonderful! He brought to pass SO many miracles in this land. I feel very thankful for this last week, and these last 18 and a half months! I have learned a lot. This last week Margaret and Lijah got baptized! I love their family so much!!! We also found 12 very elect people to start teaching this week! God really answered our prayers, because we had been praying with all our might that He would lead us to the elect and He did! It was a miracle. We worked hard and taught a lot of lessons. Tiffany, and Carol will be baptized soon, and Marie and Esther who I've kept in touch with from Fargo messaged me and told me they will be getting baptized soon too! Patty who we were able to find and baptize within a transfer will be going on a mission not too long from now! And William (the first person we were able to teach and baptize on my mission) will be getting sealed to his wife hopefully not too long from now! I feel ...

We were teaching a woman named Tiffany this week, and she is truly amazing! She went online and requested a Book of Mormon because she wanted to learn more. Just after meeting with her once she wanted to be baptized. The next time we met with her we explained some of the commandments God wants us to keep so we can be prepared to make and keep sacred promises with him called covenants such as baptism. As we were teaching her about the Word of Wisdom, she told us how she has noticed that she feels better when she doesn't partake of alcohol, tobacco, coffee, and tea. So, she got up and put into a trash bag every single thing in her house related to those substances. She put her coffee maker, a cigarette making machine, all her tea, coffee, cigarettes, cigarette making materials, and everything else she had into a bag for us to throw away on our way out of her house. It was amazing! We were blown away by her commitment to live what she felt was right despite the opposition. She is a ...

Well my cooking skills came in handy this week for thanksgiving! We hosted thanksgiving at the church and invited people from the community who didn't have anywhere to go for thanksgiving. We found new people to teach, and I made SO many mashed potatoes and rolls, and Turkey, and pie. The Senior Sisters did stuffing and more Turkey, and yams. It was really fun! I love cooking for big groups. ALSO I got interviewed by two different news places this week! One in Sioux falls and another in Pierre just for all the volunteering we have been doing with feeding South Dakota and the other churches around town. They quoted me in the newspaper! So that was pretty cool.     I got to watch Lijah and Margaret be married on Sunday! It was amazing! It was supposed to be Saturday, but a huge and terrible blizzard came through, and snowed a few feet on us so we had to postpone it to Sunday. They even had to cancel church because of the snow so it was a huge miracle that they were ab...
