Dear Family,

So this week we got an unknown phone call. And guess who it was!? Kirk Henderson, the wide receiver for BYU. He called us telling us about a friend of his who plays ball here at Tech University. He wants us to start working with him. We have had multiple people from out of state in the past couple weeks call us with referrals. It's so neat to see how the work truly is hastening and how people are getting INVOLVED. If anything, that is the one thing I have really learned on my mission! We must get involved, we must be proactive, we must fulfill our callings. The work is hastening, so we might as well be a part of it!

M. should be getting baptized this Saturday! Please keep her in your prayers, the only thing that may be holding her back is her parents...She is amazing though. She has such a light about her already, and she knows it's the right thing to do.

G. received the priesthood on Sunday and I got to sit in when he got it! It was such an incredible experience! His best friend is preparing for baptism, and he will have the opportunity to baptize her, so its all just really exciting! I love seeing how just one person can make the difference for many!

Sister Barlow, my companion is awesome! We make a good team. We are trying to give our all and work really hard. We got 11 new investigators this week, a couple of those seem really solid, so we are excited! We had 3 investigators at church, and we are just trying to talk to as many people as possible.

The weather is really starting to get to me. Saturday it was 89 degrees, and then yesterday it reached a high of 23 degrees. This back and forth stuff is killing me. ha ha. But somehow I still stay happy even though I hate the cold. I must be a missionary! ;)

I will be teaching at MLC again this Friday. I will be giving the group of Zone Leaders and Sister Training Leaders a church tour role play. We start exchanges this week as well. So we are staying super super busy!

I have glimpses throughout the day of holding back tears...It's hard for me to know I have to face the real world again very soon. I will never forget the experiences of my mission. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to serve, to be so consumed of the spirit and the gospel on a regular basis. I know I will miss that. I know this gospel is true.

I love each and every one of you!

Sister Turner
