Amanda Miller Mission Blog: Exchanges Again and Sister Zschokke's Last Week!

Hello!!

This week was great. We went on exchanges and actually learned a lot and we're applying a lot of the things we learned, which is the best part about learning stuff. :) We were seriously struggling with finding so that was our focus for the exchange and we learned a ton about how we can be better finders. We have several potentials and received several referrals and contacted several referrals too. Woot!

Our fireside is on Sunday!! Super excited. Spreading the word like crazy and hopefully it will turn out well and be effective. Want to involve tons of people.

Sister Zschokke is freaking out because she only has one week left. You can tell that she's about to leave because she is suddenly very bold in her teaching and finding. Lovin it. :) She says she has mixed feelings about going home. :)

Favorite news of the week!: One of the families in our ward has a daughter who seriously jumped off the boat of the gospel and moved away and broke just about every commandment and had no intention of coming back..... until last January. She had several experiences while she was away and made the "very difficult and humbling decision" to come back to her family and the church. She has made a complete 180 and requested us to teach her because she had some questions as to the whys behind the commandments and different doctrine. We have been working with her and guess what. She has decided to go on a mission!!!!!!! She started the process this weekend and is so excited. Her family could not be more thrilled. She told us about her decision after she first made it, and the next week when she told her family (which is, by the way, half the ward because everyone is related here) everyone was so excited. We're very happy for her. :)

I know that this church is the church of Jesus Christ. It changes lives and helps us realize our divine potential as sons and daughters of God. We are His children! And He has SO much in store for each one of us!

Have a fantastic week everybody!!
