Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah

Joseph Smith Birthplace Memorial in Sharon, Vermont.  Grandma Hattie and Grandpa J. Howard Maughan made many recommendations that made this beautiful Visitor's Center what it is today.

Dear Family,

This week has really flown by with lots of great experiences. We had a special Sister Conference at the Joseph Smith Memorial on Wednesday. It was awesome. Spirit like super strong, and we all felt more united as sisters by the end. I loved being at the JSM -- the Spirit hits you like a wall right when you drive up. It was fun to be a missionary where I know Grandma Hattie was. 

The next day we had Zone Conference, so rest assured I had a full week of self evaluation! It was wicked cool. 

We had an amazing miracle. We stopped by a less active family, who has a strong testimony but don't come to church for health reasons. They told us how the wife's mom was asking tons of Plan of Salvation questions at Easter Dinner. They did their best to answer her questions. We gave them a Book of Mormon and Plan of Salvation Pamphlet to give her and asked if we could stop by and talk to her Mom, C. They told us we could, so we did. C. let us right in and we had a very powerful discussion. We were truly guided on what questions to ask her and what to say. You could cut the Spirit with a knife! We are teaching her again today with her daughter. After we had the lesson with C. we called her daughter. She was so excited and told us that this was a long time coming and she has been praying and hoping for this for a long time.

Funny Story time- There is a young family in my ward. The wife is from Colombia and the husband an American. She was telling us about an episode of Modern Family, and how she relates to the Colombian woman in the show. In the show the woman was telling a boy Luke to Look. But her accent made it sound like "look, look" instead of "Look, Luke." As this member is telling us this story she is making the same mistake and saying Look instead of Luke. Her husband looked at us and said "Do you hear it?" We starting laughing.

That's all for today! We are going to Lake Winnipesauskee today! Love ya!!
