Hi Everyone!
I can't believe that it's already October! Actually, I can't believe that it's already October and it's still 100 degrees here! I just want to wear fall clothes :( haha.
The ward is amazing and I can tell that I'm really going to love it here. We have a baptism coming up on the 18th and a few investigators who are close! Sister Clawson is awesome at contacting so I'm really learning that from her. We have seen so many miracles this last week! All of the lessons that we have taught together the spirit has been there so strong, and we have picked up 4 new investigators already, including a cute family :) I'm so excited to be here!
How did you all like conference?!?! I thought it was amazing! The talks were all so powerful and exactly what I needed. I loved President Monson's talk about walking as Christ did, and it really got me thinking as to how I can be more like our Savior, and I came to the conclusion that first I had to learn more about him and his life, so I have started reading the New Testament for the first time! I also loved Elder Klebingat's talk about how we can have more spiritual confidence...I just loved them all!
I hope that everyone is doing well and was spiritually fed this last weekend. Have a great week! Love you all!
Love,
Sister Lesser
Mom:
I'm jealous that you got to go to Bear Lake for conference! That's okay though, the Saturday morning session of conference we got to watch in a member's home, the Masedas', with a recent convert named Lilla and her less-active son "Dirty Don". She's super sweet! Sister Clawson is so funny, she calls Lilla "grandma" and she calls brother and sister Maseda "mom" and "dad". I'm really getting to know the ward well because of her. She kind of reminds me of Mandee, very out going and no filter :) haha.
Are you guys all super busy? When does Mandee's play start? How are the Frenchie/Oldie puppies?
I really loved the conference talk that talked about the importance of daily family prayers and scripture study and weekly family home evening :) It might be a good one to read again and implement :)
PS: I can't believe you chose laziness over sending me a longer letter! I expect a 5 page long letter next week!
:) have a good week, I love you!
Mandee:
Haha, you poor thing. I'm sorry that you keep developing new strange allergies! You probably need to be put on some kind of daily allergy medication in addition to carrying around an epi pen and inhaler at all times :)
That's fun that you got to go work the corn fields though!! I'm glad that you are enjoying drama and high school and making lots of good friends.
Are you ever going to figure out how to send me that video?
Have a great week! Be safe! Make good choices! Love you!
Tyson:
I'm glad that you got to go to the priesthood session with grandpa! Where was Dad, working? One of our recent converts, Jeremy Scott, from Dixon went all the way to salt lake to attend the Priesthood session and the Sunday morning session. I'm kind of sad that I don't get to talk to him about it, but Vacaville if fun too.
Fun fact: "Vaca" means "cow" in spanish...I live in Cow ville :)
People had way too much fun naming the streets and towns in California. We have the most ridiculous names here!
I'm not sure what the wierdest thing I've seen on my mission is...I'll let you know when something weird happens though :)
The coolest thing has probably been the baptisms, those are always awesome!
What was your favorite conference talk? Who was your favorite speaker? What has been your favorite part of the week? Have you been to the temple yet?
Have a great week! love you!
Grandma Bowcutt:
What commentary were you listening to? I agree, the Prophet and apostles are more in touch with the world than people think. In fact, that was focused on a lot during conference, about how they know what their talking about, a lot more even than the younger generation would. I loved the Sunday sessions, a lot of the morning session was focused on listening to the Prophet, which I feel is very important. My all time favorite session was the Sunday afternoon one though. So many good talks!! We actually had a recent convert and an investigator at that conference, and it was great! Elder Bednar's talk was absolutely perfect! I think I'm going to print it out and start giving it to every investigator, haha :)
I'm glad that you're enjoying your time at Bear Lake and with the grandkids! How has everything been going? How is Grandpa? What miracles have you seen this week? Love you, have a great week!
Allyson and Kevin:
Thanks so much for the letter, it was great to hear from you guys! I loved Harper's picture, I'm going to hang it on my wall :)
I can't believe that Monroe is big enough to walk and Harper's already going to preschool, ah! It's so weird! I'm glad that you guys are doing so well though! That's awesome that you're the Seminary teacher Kevin! I bet that will be really fun! How early is early morning seminary? What is the subject this year? I bet you're a great teacher!
The Santa Rosa mission is indeed a great place to serve! President and Sister Alba and all of the missionaries here have worked hard to make it that way. But It's incredible to see how God has prepared these people to receive the gospel :)
Thanks for the bracelet! That's such a fun idea, I will definitely "keep the love traveling"!
Love you guys! I hope that you have a wonderful week!
