Dear Family,
This week we had interviews with President. The first thing President says when I walk in is, "so I hear you're terrified of going home!" ha ha. Yup. Maybe just a little. I forget what the real world is like. I have loved being a missionary, but I know the things I have learned I now must apply to the rest of my life! I am so grateful for the lessons and hardships and good times my mission has brought. It's made me a better person for sure!
The women's conference was amazing! We had about 20 girls all go together from the ward. Six of those were recent converts! It was so neat for them to see the sisterhood of the church and the power that comes from women!
We went on exchanges this week, my very last one as a Sister Training Leader. We went to Regal Park, my first area! Oh how things have changed so much! The work is hastening!
C. was baptized! I am so proud of her! Another friend of mine for eternity! Her confirmation blessing was very detailed, and she is going to go far in life! She will be graduating in May and moving for graduate school. She is so happy to know the church will be wherever she goes! It was a special day for sure!
Another tender mercy was that right after her baptism there was another one for another ward. The F. family, a less active family I worked with for 6 months in Regal Park is now in the new ward, fully active, and their 17-year old nephew was getting baptized! Tears filled my eyes when I saw them and they told me the great news! It was such a tender mercy to see them before I went home!
We are teaching D. She is awesome! We contacted her on campus and she brushed us off and wanted nothing to do with us. The very next day we ran into her brother who was waiting for her. When she came out and saw us she apologized for the previous day, and told us she was just having a bad day. We met with her and she told us she is so lost in life, she didn't see or understand why baptism would be important so later that week we gave her a very spiritual church tour! When she walked into the chapel she began to cry and told us she felt like God was wrapping his arms around her and giving her a big hug! She accepted baptism for the 19th! I'm sad that I won't be here for it :( But I am so happy for her!
Love ya'll! See ya next week!
Sister Turner
