Dad,
I am sorry that things have been busy for
you at work but it sounds like things are starting to clear up. I
forgive you for not writing me! I love the pictures you sent especially
with you and Aysha. I love the turkey hat
.
The puppies look like pepper and they are so cute and I know you will
pick a good one. If you want to have a missionary mind just pray over
the decision because I find myself praying in the morning for which skirt to
wear. I know weird but some days I don't know what to wear.
Speaking
about prayers, I have been praying out loud in my dreams and even teaching lessons in my sleep. Between Sister Cozzen and I, We sleep talk
all night. Its been fun for Sister Roberts and Sister Turner to listen
to us talk. I think it might be the stress of the mission that makes me
talk at night. The bad thing about me talking is that it makes my mouth
guard fall out which makes the next morning rough to talk. Dad all this
week we have been sharing a video that I absolutely love and makes me
think of you. Thank you for all you have taught me and done for me.
Yours and moms example is shown to me everyday when I go into other
peoples homes and see how much you love me and raised me in a loving
home with the Gospel. THANK YOU!
Love you
Sister Ogden
Hey everyone,
This week has been full of weird
and memorable moments. The weird was that we have been listening to
Christmas music (Josh Groban Noel CD) all week and we put our Christmas
tree out. Its not even past Thanksgiving but it brighten our week so
much. Sister Turner and I even made Dia de los muertos skeletons
ornaments for the Christmas tree. The first memorable moment of this
week was that we were able to see the new Christmas video that the
church is showing beginning on Nov. 29!
It is so good and gave me chills while watching it. I can't wait to
share it with everyone once it comes out.
Second was that it has been
cold and raining here which has made the bike rides very interesting.
Because it has been cold, the tops of Bear Mountain has had snow on it
all week.
Third was that both Sister Roberts and I felt a prompting to
visit an older sister in the ward who we have to call Grandma. To find
out when we got there was that she was having a rough week and prayed to
Heavenly Father to see two sister with bikes and helmets. It was a
testament builder to me that God knows all and is willing to answer our
prays in many ways.
The forth was teaching David and Davida. They both
have very rough backgrounds but are looking for a new direction and
teaching them the Gospel has been a spiritual change for them. They told
us after we finished the Restoration that they love us coming here
because we are different. I wanted to tell them that it was the spirit
that they enjoy! Davida is so ready and definitly loves the Lord because
every time we mention His life and the Atonement tears spring up. I can
already see the influence of the Lords hands in their lives and I hope
that one day they will see what I see.
Fifth was transfers! The results
of transfers was that Sister Roberts and I are staying in the same area
and Sister Turner is going to be a trainer! Sister Cozzen is leaving to
go up to Riverside which is sad but I am excited for her. After the
transfer call I felt that I was given a early Christmas present to stay
in this awesome area and ward.
Love I am excited that you guys will pick out the puppy today and pray that you pick a good one! Being out on the mission, I have so many chances to pet dogs, which as you know is a true joy to me. If only I could have my dalmatian right now. Sister Roberts is so excited for the two Disney Mormon memes you sent me which made both of us laughed. Alma is quite long but I love it so much because the book of Alma shows me how best to be a missionary. The account of Ammon is my favorite! You should read Alma 53: 13- 22 which tells how we can become Stripling Warriors in our lives! I am working on courage. I wish you all the luck in God and always strive to follow the example of our Savior because He is always with us!
Love
Sister Ogden
