Mama:

what was the most spiritual moment you had this week? Last night we were at a members house talking and we got on the topic of the temple and we didn't share anything we weren't supposed to but the spirit was sooooo strong as we talked about how we loved the temple. the lady who's house we were at didn't have a good experience and is getting sealed to her husband in about 2 months or so and is so scared to go back. so it was an amazing experience to be able to comfort her and talk to her about the temple and sister Stewarts experience as well as mine :}

when did you feel the spirit teach you? Sister Stewart and I get to teach the Book of Mormon class tomorrow night and our topic is on "the Light of Christ vs the Holy Ghost" so I have been preparing for that all week and just having the Holy Ghost testify to me of the truth that I was reading about was amazing :}

when did you laugh out loud? and typing about it now makes you laugh again? Nothing really happened that made me laugh out loud but there was a crazy moment this Saturday haha. We were at the Bishops house for dinner (Bishop Francis) and we were talking about where we were all from and what high school did we go to (the normal questions) and I found out that Bishop Francis was Quincy Lewis' roommate in collage haha! so I am gonna take a picture with Bishop Jason Francis and send it to you so you can show Coach Lewis sometime haha :}

Do you always have dinners with the elders? and do you trade off who does the thought?  we don't always have dinner with the elders but most nights we do :} they are sooo fun! And we do trade off who has the message :} we do have a theme for each month so sometimes they are repeat messages but we do swap every dinner appointment that we have together :}

have you had any more rain/ thunder storms?  that is why the NBA team is the Thunder right?  All last week it rained. the highest the temperature got was 75 degrees. it was soooo nice haha. I guess that would be why they are called the Thunder. their thunderstorms here are crazy! it will be blue sky for one minute and then it is just dumping rain all over. and then it stops like 10 mins later haha.

how about bike riding? have you had another chance?  I haven't gotten to ride a bike in a while. we try not to because our apartment is in the middle of no where and we would have to bike 5 miles to get to somewhere and then bike around, then bike back and that just takes a lot of time haha.

do you get to visit with your neighbors?  Our neighbors are crazy! there is a less active (Kelly) who lives kiddy corner from us who comes over every day and ever night. it is just crazy!  then across the way from us is a lesbian couple... and they think sister stewart and I are gay as well because we live together haha. so that is fun.

do you ever cook or bake or is it just quick stuff like sandwiches and cereal?  We have done pizzas and chicken but usually its just fast stuff so we can get out of the house faster haha. I switch off each day between cereal and apples/PB :} so good

So how many missionaries are in your mission?  there are 260 missionaries in our mission right now and about 42% are sisters :}

How many are from Utah or Idaho?   I am not quite sure how many are from Utah or Idaho but I know the ones in my district, there is one sister from Cali and elder Beus (who goes home next week :{ ) is from Idaho, but everyone else is from Utah haha. Its crazy!

So transfers are on Wednesday and sister Stewart and I are staying in Quail Creek together!!!! WAHOOOOOO!!!!! we are also getting a new zone leader and the other sisters in our district are becoming STL's (aka: Sister Training Leaders) which is like a zone leader but just for the sisters :} so we will have the zone leaders and the STL's in our district.

 Our song went soooo well. we did sing "one Voice" and it was awesome! we didn't coordinate with the elders but elder Beus and I were matching. His tie was mint green and peach with light blue plaid and I was wearing my mint green skirt and the gaundi shirt (which is peach) and sister Stewart and elder Collins were wearing light and dark blue. elder Collins tie was checkered while sister Stewarts dress was striped, but we still matched a little bit haha.

It was an amazing song and we all blend well together :}

Colton looks the exact same haha. I hope he is doing well. when did he go home? I know it was sometime around the 16th ish....

The mission is going well, still don't have anyone new to teach but we have been working with Less Actives and Recent Converts which is still fun ;}

Love you tons and I hope you have an amazing week!!!!

Love Sister Meagan
