How can I bring people to repentance when I'm laying on my death bed?

Tell Sister Moody that I know some Sherwoods, but they must be different. Everyone here is related, has the same name and usually a street named after them. And is that missionary in our ward now? the one from Mesa?

HEY when did you get cheesecake? Because randomly on Friday (while we were OUTSIDE THE MISSION :D at the cannery serving) I got this crazy craving for the cheesecake factory! But then when we went to dinner, they surprised us with sushi and it was the best day of my life.

I've been missing you and padre too! I got sick this week. Which is So ANNOYING! How can I bring people to repentance when I'm laying on my death bed? But I got a blessing. It was so nice. I think sometimes, God lets me get sick so I'll come for a blessing so that He can tell me some specific things I need to hear. This time, He needed to tell me that He thinks I'm an excellent missionary. ....My heart! I didn't know!! It was so refreshing. It so easy to think everything you do is just messing up the plan and the work, but Heavenly Father is all like....stop it silly. He's proud of me. and I didn't realize that knowing that could be so energizing! I'm SO ready to go and find 9 new investigators in this week!

Prayers and faith for me please! I love you soooo  much!!
and my dog is cute(:

Teaching kids on the street.

Sushi Surprise!

We work in a FUN area

We had SEVEN investigators at church yesterday!!!!

 I have shortened P-day hours this month though in the new area. Our zone is super dedicated to this finding with faith month. We need 9 more in our ward! But before I got here, the Zone Training Meeting was all about the initiative and they all decided to sacrifice some things together including time from lunch, online proselyting, and P-days. So I came into the zone like that. THIS AREA IS THE BEST!!!! I haven't felt this busy, tired, and hard-working since I was with Sister Smith in Kimball. This family ward is so fantastic, I love these people. And Sister Niska is a sweetheart. She does run!!! :D We live in a really really cute little cottage at these members' home. It is adorable and the beds are so comfy! I didn't know I was sore until I woke up the other day not sore! We're having fun getting to know each other. The whole zone is fun- we're close with all the other missionaries here. We all just went lazer-tagging today. It was the BEST! But we're also really hard-working. There's so much work here.

We had a couple of really awesome lessons. This one little girl ran into the sisters on the street right before I got here and her and her less active mom just then decided they wanted Jesus in their hearts! So we had a lesson that was going amazing except for random moments...... I knew that for the little girl this lesson couldn't be ruined and even though I shy away from any Bible-bashing situations, I heard the scripture in my head that says I won't be confounded before men, so I confidently and with the Spirit took her OUT! Respectfully, of course.

 It was awesome! Everything she said I could resolve and then she left the room. The lesson went well :|D MAMA!! We had SEVEN investigators at church yesterday!!!! I've never seen that my whole mission!!!! It was beautiful! |We're baptizing in March- #Camelbackattack |(camel back is my new zone y me gusta)

Ah....I don't know what else to say. I love life. I love you and miss you. I can't wait to see you!! Thanks for being my madre!! 

we found a whole family! Well they found us. He's from Guatemala

 I'm getting transferred! Ahh! That was the fastest 6 weeks of my life! It's been seriously one of the bests! I loved being in my trio and all the amazing people I've been able to teach. We were so busy working, we were obedient and diligent, our district and whole zone as so fun, I'm sad for it to end. I'm getting a YSA ward again though! It's fun, I think Heavenly Father is trying to help me figure out how to be normal again. Everything is great! I love being with people my own age and being able to relate with them and apply the Gospel to every situation! I think I'm in more central Mesa, and only have the one ward. Sister Niska is my companion and I think she's been out almost a year or something. We're gunna have fun! But I'll miss a lot of people here. It's weird leaving already, especially with having had Christmas lights, I barely got to know the area and people...but I did, just not the ward members themselves like usual.

We haven't heard from Jo, he's backed off because he doesn't feel worthy to build a relationship with God. He has amazing fellowshippers and we're going to stop by tonight, and least to say goodbye (all of us are leaving the Ysa ward). He just needs the Gospel MORE than anything else. I hope to see him succeed, he's a fabulous guy. 

Sister Siharath is staying in ironwood so she'll keep helping Mariam. She's getting so close. She went to the hospital this week though! That was scary but we think she's okay. She's about ready to be baptized(:

We found a lot of new investigators this week! January is finding month!! Well at least increasing our faith to find! we found a whole family! Well they found us. He's from Guatemala<3 he had all these cool experiences with the spirit helping him no longer hate Mormons and then decide he wanted what they have, for his whole family of grandpa, wife and 3 kids! Then we street contacted a bunch of wonderfully open and kind people! Me gusta Apache junction. Most of our Ysa work is with less actives. We had one, jojo who we found at frys, take us to get SUSHIIII! She loves us, it's crazy. She buys us presents all the time and wants us over teaching her every day and just being her friend. She doesn't have any good influences yet except us. And ....now her missionaries are elders. We'll pray that that goes over well hahaha

My wrist doesn't even hurt right now! :D

I'm glad you go out with the missionaries all the time. Being happy all the time takes work but it's always so much better than not being optimistic. Living at all is pointless without choosing to love being where you are! Btdubbs, you're the best missionary mama in the world! You don't make me trunky or anything. I'm so excited to see you again just because...I love you. And going home will just be another transfer the Lord needs me to take on. I'm stoked. And I'm stoked for my new area. I hope we can stay busy!! I don't know if I'm whitewashing.

Today I have to say goodbye to my mission mom, sister fry and sister Dunn! I can't believe it's already here, and I don't know when I'll see them again. I love them so much. A lot of other awesome people are leaving too. :( it'll be great though

Everything is great! I love you too and I miss your face! Be a good madre, MMMWWWAAAHH

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It was sad to see Christmas Lights end, but now we'll get to spend more time in our area. I don't know the members very well, which is weird because I'm usually more integrated and close with more people by now! We had a big mission party on New Year's. I got to wear jeans and we all had a lot of fun. We did zone skits, and our was the best. We played out Noah and the Ark (taking place in Australia) and I was a wicked person and then a koala. We had a really good devotional. We have this huge goal to have 100 baptisms in march and in order to do that we need to find 10 new investigators in just the month of January, so I need to work extra hard this month and double my faith. Pray for me and our area!

Getting ready for church!

Jojo has a pet duck!
