Hey all!
First off, wasn't conference great?! I loved it! Couldn't
help but think of mom on Saturday morning when the women in the choir were
wearing purple. Thought she'd like that color. ;) But those talks were great! I
especially liked Elder Holland's talk! He is so funny, loved his emphasis on
believing and then knowing. I feel like on my mission I have made tremendous progress towards
having a firm knowledge and understand of the gospel like I never have
before. My conviction of the truth of Jesus Christ and his
gospel grows exponentially each day and my desire for others to know the
truth is growing so much that it sometimes pains me to think of
the people who don't have the gospel in their lives, and that don't have
the comforting knowledge of Jesus Christ's atonement for each of us.
Grateful to be a missionary here in Alaska and invite others to come unto
Christ!
We had a good week! Spent all day Saturday and Sunday
contacting referrals! Yesterday we were contacting and we have an appointment
to come back next week! Woot! That was really exciting! :)
Guess who I talked to on the phone yesterday? Hilary Weeks.
NBD. :) haha her brother is in our ward and called her up to prove she's his
sister!! Rabbit Creek is obviously the ward to serve in because everyone is
related to famous people! haha :)
Also, really exciting news! I got to meet Billy, our
investigator we teach over the phone! He was in Anchorage for medical reasons
and is actually flying down to Arizona this week to make sure everything is
okay so it was unfortunate the reasons why he was in Anchorage, but it was
great to meet him and to talk to him in person. Not something I thought I'd
ever actually be able to do!
Bernard is still doing super great. As of this afternoon he
will be officially passed off to the YSA elders which is good. They're the
perfect fit for him as missionaries and the YSA has been good to him, and he's
been good to the YSA :)
Allison watched conference with us Saturday morning and she
seemed to really like it! She thought it was "cool that there was an
underlining theme but all the talks were different" haha :) she's really
enjoying the Book of Mormon and the stories in the Book of Mormon! P.s. Her
boyfriend is serving his mission in Colorado! Made me think of my two favorite
Coloradians. Which mission is Broomfield in?
The work is going great! Loving being a missionary. Glad the
snow has once again sweeped through Anchorage. :) It's a beautiful day! :)
Love you all! Thanks for the love and support!
Love,
Sister Hedelius
