Heather Rose of Texas: Week 4: Texas is AWESOME!!!!

Texas. Is. Awesome.

I seriously can't even believe how amazing this place is!

I was assigned to the Midland area (anyone have any relatives/people they know in Midland, TX?) I have two companions in this transfer, which is actually quite amazing and I love them both so much! Their names are Sister Slater and Sister Udall. The funny thing is that I am just starting my mission, Sister Slater just hit 9 months on Wednesday, and this is Sister Udall's last transfer!

The members and the people here are amazing! Every time we go to a different member's house to eat dinner, it always ends up being amazingly delicious food (we had TWO dinners last night actually) and the members are just good people and are so willing to help us out with anything! It really gets amazing when we're able to share a spiritual message with them at the very end, because the Spirit is so strong and we are able to strengthen the family and fulfill our purpose as a missionary!

I was really dumb today and read and responded to the 19+ emails I got first and THEN decided to write my weekly email, so I don't have a ton of time to write right now, but just know that I finally got a really strong confirmation from God last night at an investigator's house that I am supposed to be on a mission. The amazing thing is that at the same time, the investigators, Adrian and Dakota (they're married and just had a baby at the beginning of this month), got a really really strong confirmation they are supposed to be baptized! It was just altogether the most amazing experience I have EVER had in my entire life.

I am more grateful than anyone will ever know for this opportunity to be here in Texas on my mission. I have had so many great experiences and I am so thankful for this gospel and the chance I have to share it with the world!!

I love you all and I hope you have a great week! I promise I'll be better next time and write this thing first, THEN respond to emails :) Then I can have pictures etc. for everyone!
