Amazing Week!!

Hey everyone I had another amazing week here in Sioux city iowa.

   On Thursday we had dinner at our bishops house. He feed us and the elders and we talked about how the work was going it was really good.

   Then Friday we recived 2 refferrals from church head quarters and we tried to contact them both. One of them was for the arrowood family. So Michele arrowood is a less active who referred herself so we would find her. so we went by and she said she knows she is missing church in her life and she needs to get back to church. so we talked to her got to know her. she has 5 kids and 3 of them are over baptismal age. so we taught two of them corey and renee and set them both for baptism on Dec 26 and they are really excited!!!!! I am pretty posicitve they will make it to that date they are 10 and 11 years old. and they have a little sister that is 9 and her name is Ashley she is hearing impared and so we weren't able to teach her but we are going to bring someone who knows sign language to come teach with us and hopefully we will be able to set her for baptism. its amazing! right now we have 4 baptism sets and they are going to make it to there dates. on sunday we walked into church and we were gretting everyone at the door and we look iin the chappell and the arrowood family are all sitting in there with smiles on there faces they are so excited to be back at church and the kids are so excited to get baptized that was a huge miracle!!!

   On sunday we recived another referral from members its for a girl named Shannon who has been coming to church. she is 17 and her dad is catholic and she has been coming to our church and as said she wants to be baptized so we are going to start teaching her this week!!! pray for her that we will be able to set her this week :) lots of miracles are happening our ward mission leader brother walker told sister muasau and I yesterday that we are a powerful team and he thinks we don't even understand how powerful we are together. but he said heavenly father put us together for a reason. we had another great week full of miracles we were a star companionship this week and have 4 baptismal sets 2 for dec 13 and 2 for dec 26. please keep praying for us that we will keep seeing miracles and that our baptisms will keep progressing. I love you all thank you for everything. This week in district meeting im giving the training its on being accountable to the lord and showing you faith its going to be good. im excited for it. I love you

  oh the next transfers will be dec 11th and for thanksgiving this week we are going to a members hosue so that will be lots of fun! I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving!

A week full of Miracles!!

a week full of miracles!!!!!!

   So we had a lesson with our investigator and it was really cool because she worked as a dispatcher for the rail road in texas and she loved it and she misses it like crazy so I told her that my dad works for the rail road and it made her really happy. she says since she moved up here she hasn't found someone who works for the rail road and she thought she would and she was really missing it a lot. so then when I told her that it made her really happy and she really opended up to us and she really wants to learn more. it softened her heart to learning more I think so that was a really cool lesson we had. ahh I love her she is amazing!

     Then we had a less active feed us who has started coming back to church and wants to get back in. and when we were there she made a comment to us about how her sons are 9 and 10 and she wants them to be baptized. So they became new investigators that night and this week we are going to set them for baptism. yay we are really excited to start working with them and getting them ready. Then on sunday she brought a non member friend to church for the 2nd week in a row. and yesterday I was talking to her in the hall at church and I asked what she has liked about coming to our church and she made a comment and said I really like your church and I really would like to join it. and this was right after a lesson I just taught in gospel prinacables about eternal families. and her dad just passed away and I think she wants to be with her family forever. so then I explained our role as missionaries and I gave her a book of Mormon. and we set up a date to come and teach her and so she became a new investigator. and we are hoping this week we will be able to come by and set her for baptism to. yay 3 new investigators this week it was a miracle.

     we also went to the trail center with the young women this week and we brought an investigator and after the trail center they took us to the mall with them to shop (be proud of me I didn't buy anything.) and when we were there a girl from a part member family came and we found out that she is also wanting to be baptized she is starting really to enjoy church and she loved being with us and the young women on Saturday so this week hopefully we can teach her and set her for baptism :) please pray for us that we will be able to get these baptism sets this week.

    This week was full of miracles we worked really hard and we had hight numbers. we even beat some of our goals. it was really sweet. sister muasau was talking to me yesterday and she thanked me and said that I have really helped her be happy and helped her to have a good week. she said the numbers we got in a week are like the numbers they would get in a transfer. and she just felt really good and really happy. and she said that she thinks im already changing the area for good and I have only been here 1 week. I am so grateful that heavenly father has blessed us with so many miracles this week and im so grateful for him.

    So Sioux city is great! its HUGE! Not huge like fremont huge fremont was contry and had a million little towns Sioux city is huge compared to fremont. I haven't been in the city for a long time... driving has been different.. that's forsure will driving were in a big town haha but its been good adjusting hasn't been to bad. it just takes time but It really hasn't been that bad. I love it here a lot!!!!

    the area is really big we have 3 sets of missionaries. two sets of sisters us and the le mars sisters and we have a set of elders who are the zone leaders. we get to spend the weekends with the le mars sisters and go to church with them which is fun! us 4 have so much fun together. we think none of us will get transferred so we think we will all get to spend Christmas together woot woot that will be a blast!

Not in Nebraska any more!!

  Hey everyone its sister sommers I am now in Sioux city iowa if you haven't heard. and we also get to go to south Dakota sometimes. :)

   So last Monday our zone had a zone p day and we played volley ball that was a lot of fun!!! my team one every game woot woot :) :) :)

   Thursday we found out about transfers and that I was leaving.

      Friday was Halloween. we went to the mission office at 1 and I left the mission office at 6. and so the whole day I pretty much hung out there talking to other missionaries as we waited for the transfer vans to drive around the mission. and once both of them were back from out west it was about 5:30 and and they loaded all 6 of us missionaries up that we going to Sioux city and so they had a truck and they put me a two other sisters in the truck with our suit cases in the back and then they had a car and they put the 3 elders in the car (one was elder saunders he is up in Sioux city with me so that's cool hes in the Spanish branch) and they gave us both gps with the address and they had us following the elders up. they gave us both gps just in case we got split up. so we left at 6 and it was an adventure.... the on ramp was closed and so we had to keep driving and found a new way to get on. and then we started heading down and we had the missionaires in Sioux city calling us asking when we will be there so they could meet us all there so we told them at 8:15 but then us and the elder stopped somewhere for dinner because we were all hungery and haven't eaten since 12 so we stopped half way to eat then we started going again and they ended up getting there at 9:15 and when we pull in there were a ton of missionaries in the parking lot I twas a lot of fun everyone was telling us hi and talking to us it was a lot of fun!!!!

     I am with sister muasau she is so much fun she is tongan and I love her!!! this area I feel like is going to be a struggle but its going to be amazing. sister muasau last comp just finished her mission and went home and she was really trunkie and so she didn't follow all the mission rules and she also told me president told her this is the most apostate part of the mission. and I think its because we are in a diff state and we never go into Nebraska really. and so we are all just out here. but I don't want to be apostate and disobedient and sister muasau doesn't either. and so we made a goal we are going to be exactly obedient and work our very hardest even when other missionaries aren't. but we are also going to have fun. sister muasau really had a hard past couple of transfers but she is a great missionary and we are going to see miracles. our ward mission leader is amazing also. he feeds us hif famous spagetthi every Saturday he feeds us and the elders and we have our coordianation meeting with him. he loves missionary work and is really wanting us to work hard and hes just really great!! 

    Im the senior comp so I get to drive.  we drive a 2014 Toyota corolla. and the ward is really nice its HUGE compared to fremont!!!!! we have a set of elders in our ward and 2 sets of sisters we have the le mars sisters and they are in a little town that president wants to try to get a branch there and we are the Sioux city first sisters. Im really excited these next few transferes are going to be amazing they are going to be hard but they are also going to be aton of fun im excited!!!!

    I love you all sooooooooo soooooooo soooooo much thank you for your letters emails support and prayers I love you and im so grateful for you. im grateful I get to be a missionary I love it out here its so amazing I love doing the lords work.
