Hi!!! Life is good in Stevi. We had a beautiful baptism for Anna last Wednesday. There were so many people there to support her and the Spirit was really strong.I was the chorister and as I looked down almost everyone there had tears intheir eyes and big smiles; it was a beautiful sight to see! Anna shared her testimony at the very end and she was just glowing.This last Sunday I walked out of sacrament and saw a lady crying and leave, so Iasked her husband if he needed me to teach Sunday School for him and he saidyes. So I cracked open the manual as I walked to the classroom and it turns out I was teaching marriage to the 16-18 year old Sunday School class. ha! It was pretty fun. This weekend is Stake Youth Conference and its like a mini EFY and Sister Morgan and I were asked to teach a class. I love teaching youth so much, I'm excited. Now that I am almost 22 I feel so old. Sister Morgan said I look 18 (probably only because I still have acne) but that made me happy. I remember when Wii fit told me I was 23 and I cried. Have I ever told you about Terry Craft? I can't remember :/ Terry is 20 and has been married to a less-active member for about 2 months. We have been teaching her for a little over a month and she is ready to be baptized...she is just waiting on her husband, Wade, to come to church with her. I'm going to kick his bootay. She was going to school in Billings last year and took a religion/philosophy class and she said she was frustrated with everyone bashing the church so she wrote her final paper on why people shouldn't be so mean to Mormons. She said that in her research she gained a testimony that Joseph Smith truely was a prophet and read the Book of Mormon and knew it was true. She comes to church every Sunday and even came to both sessions of Stake Conference by herself. I feel so impressed that she is so diligent in praying, reading thescriptures, and coming to church all by herself. And her dad is SUPER anti and has thrown pretty much everything in the book at her and she hasn't been shaken. I love her. Yesterday we had an appointment but we got stood up and were kinda sad. We got in the car and someone next door pulled up so I jumped out to talk to her instead, because she has a 'no trespassing' sign and this would be my only oppertunity to catch her while she was outside. She was the cutest mom with her little girl and even though I kind of looked like a stalker walking up to her gate, she was super nice and asked us to come back and teach her more. I realized at that moment, we weren't suppose to be at that appointment-we needed to find this lady. The Lord works in mysterious ways and I see his hand in everything we do. It's pretty cool =) Transfers are this Friday! 6 weeks keeps getting shorter and shorter.
I love you sososoosososososo much!
