the rest of the news . . .

well the big thing going on is our baptism on saturday! we are SO excited. it should be a glorious event. sis bush and i are going to sing something but we're still trying to decide. it's perfect because sis sawyer plays piano so we all get to do something. did i tell you we sang "the olive tree" in sacrament meeting? it went well! i never thought of myself as a singer but i think when you're a missionary you sound better than normal . . . it's the spirit or something :) i'm enjoying it a lot so i'm going to live it up until i get home from the mission and can't sing anymore hehe. Anyway [J*] keeps talking about how he's ready to "be dunked" haha. we went over the baptismal interview questions yesterday and they are READY! we had a powerful lesson this week when we talked again about joseph smith and the importance of a prophet. we showed part of "special witnesses of christ". just the part with pres monson and then pres hinckley and then all the apostles around the Christus (how do you spell that?). my own testimony was strengthened that the presidents of our church past and present are truly the mouthpiece of God. we are so blessed to have their guidance!

one new thing: we have another person on date to be baptized! [A*] (9 years old, part member family) will be baptized aug 1 with the children of record! she has anxiety problems and is scared of water, so pray for her :)

we're so blessed here in glacier park! the threesome is so fun. i just adore sis sawyer. she is an amazing, humble, hardworking missionary and the three of us get along so well!!

we had zone conference this week which was SO good. basically i felt so inspired to be better. we have a LOT we can improve and i'm excited to work harder and rely on the Lord more. our zone especially needs to be doing better so pray for us. i'm finding that as we set higher goals and exercise more faith, the Lord lifts us to a new level and we see miracles. i love being a missionary! i can't imagine being anywhere else right now. seriously it feels so right. days are long sometimes, but then all of a sudden you're halfway through a transfer and it's like WHAT? well i'm going to reply to each of you quickly i think so i'll end here. LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
