Hi Mom,
How are you? The storms actually weren't too bad. We were out of power for like a minute but we weren't out of power for very long. If you haven't sent the package yet. I will need contacts soon. I have two pair left but I figured since you were sending a package you could probably send them now. This week was a great week! We had zone interviews with President Wilkey this week. These were his last ones before he goes home. It was awesome!! President Wilkey told me that he has one problem with me. His problem with me is that he won't be here to see me end my mission. He is so funny! We met with Sister Wilkey as Sisters in our Zone. It was awesome! She talked to us about how to be a successful missionary. The Wilkeys are amazing!! I handled June 6 ok. I talked to my companion about Dad for a little bit. It was good to be able to talk about him. I'm so glad you were able to go out to dinner with everyone! Sister Taylor says hi.
We found two more people to teach this week. It is a father and a daughter. They have lost of questions about everything. They were asking where our church was and they also asked about Joseph Smith. We are so excited to teach them again this week!! The daughter told us they were looking for a religion to go to because they know that going to church will help them get closer to God. Our other two investigators are great! Kyong called us on Friday and told us that she needed a bigger copy of the Book of Mormon because the small print one was hurting her eyes. Then she told us that she was already in Alma. She had just started reading the Book of Mormon on Thursday. Her desire to know if the Gospel is true is very strong. She is so excited to learn more. I wasn't there for the lesson with our other investigator because I was gone on exchanges. The exchanges were fun. I was with Sister Westling. She is from Utah. It was a really fun exchange. I love exchanges because I learn so much!!
The Family home evening sounds like a lot of fun!! Thank you so much for the pictures!!! I love seeing the family! I haven't taken very many pictures lately. I'll try to take more in the next week. Transfers are June 18th. We aren't sure if they are going to affect us or not. There are 17 sisters coming this next transfer. It sounds like there are going to be lots of changes. More areas are going to be opening up. It is wonderful to be part of this wave of missionaries.
I have been thinking this week how important the First Vision is. It is the thing that sets us apart from the rest of the world. That vision has brought about everything that we know and believe. The First Vision is something that we teach so often we must teach it with conviction and feeling every time we teach. I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ. I know that the Church is true. I know that God is in the details of our lives. Have a great week!!! I love you!! You are in my thoughts and prayers!!
Love,
Sister Griffin
