Good Afternoon Folks!!!
What
an awesome week it has been! First off, transfer calls came in...and I
am staying in Auburn. 5 transfers here...5 in my last..I guess I am a
long termer! That's ok! I love my companion and
ready to see why I stayed here longer.
Here are a few highlights from my week...
Monday~P-day! We took the Sisters bowling and we had a great time! We have such awesome sisters!
Tuesday~All
mission conference! What an awesome experience! Elder Neilson of the 70
and Brother Heaton from the MTC came and talked to us about the new
church Ipad system. It was great to see all 200 and something
missionaries together.
Wednesday~Zone Meeting! Good times....
Thursday~Service
at the Care Center. This week I worked on a puzzle...cause I love that
so much:) We also had a car fast day so members took us around to every
where we needed to go. It was fun to have members so involved with us
throughout the day.
Friday~We
received some sad news that our friend, Dave, was shortly leaving this
earth. He later died that night. I thought I would be sad. Of course it
is hard not being able to go spend time with him anymore BUT he is in
such a better place. I also have been able to spend some time doing his
family history work and that has been a blessing.
Saturday~Exchanges!
I was able to spend time in Alta Sierra with Sister Puletua! What a fun
time! It is good to get out of your own area once in awhile and work
with others. We had some awesome lessons.
I
am so thankful for the wonderful experience of being on a mission,
people I am able to gain relationships with, and the testimony I have
been able to grow.
Thank you all for all you do!
Love,
Sister Reber
I would challenge you this week to:
Make a post on Facebook of what the Atonement means to you.
Our mission will not be on Facebook for a few weeks, so I would invite you to keep the missionary work going for us!
“The
comforts we have, the peace we have, and, most important, the faith and
knowledge of the things of God that we have, were bought with a
terrible price by those who have gone before us. . . .It is because of
our Redeemer’s life and sacrifice that we are here. It is because of
His sacrificial atonement that we and all of the sons and daughters of
God will partake of the salvation of the Lord. . . .It is because of the
sacrificial redemption wrought by the Savior of the world that the
great plan of the eternal gospel is made available to us under which
those who die in the Lord shall not taste of death but shall have the
opportunity of going on to a celestial and eternal glory. In our own
helplessness, He becomes our rescuer, saving us from damnation and
bringing us to eternal life.
