Howdy,
Thank you for all the pictures
you have sent! You all are so beautiful and handsome! Sorry for how
vague last weeks letter was. The reason for that was helping Sister
Greeff prepare to go home this week. It's weird to think that tomorrow
my companion will be home. I am staying in Wildomar but my new
companion is Sister Pielstick!!!!! My MTC companion! She is an STL now
(sister training leader) which means that when they are on exchanges
with the other sisters, I will be going to Spanish land more often.
This week was so much fun going out and talking to everyone outside
about Christ. Probably the weirdest contact of this week was that we
were given a tour of an old RV being remodel by an older couple. When
you are a missionary you get in the most awkward and weird situations
but they sure make us laugh afterwards. I found a cool house this week
that has all these military cars and I thought of you guys! Easter was
like a normal day (since everyday is centered on Christ by doing His
work) but for dinner we had steaks!!!!! They were not like dad's but
they were super good! Based on the emails I received, your Easter was
amazing! Happy Late Birthday Aysha again! |

Now I have heard
many different opinions but what did you guys think of the new Batman/
Superman movie? Just curious! I have to go help Sister Greeff leave but I
want to tell you guys that I love you and pray for you guys everyday!
This next transfer is going to be fun with Sister Pielstick and I am so
excited to be out here doing the Lord's Work!
Love Sister Ogden
Mom,
I am glad that the picture that was sent to
you was good! I was not able to see if it met my standards. Wow I will
keep Papa in my prayers and can you please tell him and granny that I
love them.
I actually have been thinking the same thing of what it would
be like to meet the Savior. I think I will remember what it was like to
know Him before here and I think that when I return I will remember all
the times He has been with me here. In Relief of Society last week we
had a lesson on the Atonement. She said something that I loved which was
that "Everyone meets Christ in Gethsemane" (Sister Dalebout) which is
true! Then Women Conference was super good! It was cool how the main
theme was about service and Christ like Love. I definitely needed to
listen to those speakers because I can do this work with Christ's love
and be willing to serve everyone on the mission.
Sister Greeff is
leaving today which is weird! I am sad because she has taught me so much
about the Gospel but also of myself. I think He sent me to be with her so
that I could learn and grow. This week a fellow sister was having knee
problems to the point she was sent home. Since I had my experience with
knees, I was able to give her advice which definitely helped. There is a
reason for everything because God is not random. He has a plan for
everything! The work here is kinda slow all our investigators are not
progressing or they are moving a snails pace. Only time can tell but
Bear from my last area is going to be baptized which I am excited to go
back for! I love you mom and pray for you and the family everyday! Love
you to pieces
