The Anniversary of the Publication of the Book of Mormon!

Hello everyone! Wow, lots happened this week. We had exchanges and I was with Sister Embley, who is a fabulous missionary STL extraordinaire. Lots of finding! A man taught us to meditate on his

doorstep. We had the most POWERFUL lesson with Aaron and Christina. Much boldness, much love. We started the lesson by singing "Savior, Reedemer of My Soul". Something President Evans has advised me is to use more music in lessons with everyone. SUCH inspiration!

Door Knocking!

Afterwards we invited Aaron to stop smoking for the next twenty-four hours. My heart was pounding, but he agreed! I know the Lord is working with, guiding and leading them.

The Book of Mormon is now 187 years old! On March 26th 1830 the Book of Mormon first came on sale. Sister Ewell and I had the privilege to serve at the Grandin Book of Mormon Publication site on this glorious event and took lots of tours! Oh I love love love the sites! And the Book of Mormon! When it got slow we also decided to sneak downstairs (with the permission of the senior sister, Sister

Bergstrom, who has ironically been the one to lead me to a lot of secret places)where we touched the original door of the Grandin building!

While serving a man randomly walks in with a fancy camera and asks to take pictures of us. He turned out to be a photographer who had a daughter on a mission once and someone took professional pictures of her and decided to send them home, so he wanted to do the same for us. So at the thanks of the wonderful man I can't remember the name of, here are fancy pictures outside and inside the

Grandin building!

General conference is coming up!!!! Sister Ewell and I tried to watch the General women's session with Christina, but it wasn't communicated very well that it wasn't downloaded and we didn't have wifi. So we then try to scramble and find a place and end up going to a less active's home named Ronda and her boyfriend Mike. Their wifi wasn't the most clear, so while we were waiting for

it to load Mike decided to show us some of his gospel music on his HUGE speakers. There we sat, listening to gospel rap, waiting for General Conference to load. I really really love missions.

Sister Ewell commemorated the event.

We've got lots of plans for the upcoming week! Stay tuned for next week where we will be featured in our pioneer costumes for the upcoming celebration at the Grandin building ð

I love you all! Have a great week!!
