**Questions for our Kizzer**

How are you doing?  Did Bishop Trost get with you yet?  He was going through the proper authority, your Mish Prez for okay's to call you. drop by and take you guys out for dinner or something.

Hey mom! I am doing very well! This week has been a little rough but worth it!

I haven't heard from bishop trust yet. Has he asked my mission president about visiting me? I wonder if I should ask President Brough about it or something. Anywho, it will all work out to God's timing. I am excited and a little nervous to see him but we will see what happens.

***WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE MESSAGE FROM CONFERENCE? ***

My favorite conference talk was elder Russell m. Nelson's talk about being the woman God needs us to be and I also. Loved the talk about about the potter's clay--> completely right up my alley! :) 

Dear Family and friends,

Well this week was kinda of out of control!

Well I dyed my hair! That was fun! Poor Sister Guffy was nervous to even do it! I told her I wanted red and she warned me on the phone that we needed to get hair dye that said honey or something of that nature. Well we forgot to look for the name and got a color that looked like what we wanted! She wasn't happy thinking that we made a horrible mistake but it all worked out well! :)

That Monday night was a great night of rest until about 12:49 in the morning when we heard loud knocking on the front door. Then there was knocking on the sliding glass door! We were grateful to have the door locked but the people were walking back and forth between knocking on our front door and our sliding door! Over and over. We obviously held knives in our hand and called the police in our bathroom. Then we called our mission president and told him what was happening. Right when we were about to hang up the police knocked on the door! We were very excited about that and we were told by President Brough not to open it up right away. We didn't but he shouted through the door the reason why someone was knocking so much, he said, "Your neighbor was knocking on the door and window because you all left your car lights on in your car!" We were slightly confused though as to why our neighbor would repeatedly freak out over that by knocking frantically on both our front door and our sliding glass door! President heard it over speaker on the phone and said that that was a little extreme but that we must have a neighbor who really cares for us! He said a prayer over the phone to call our nerves, we turned off the lights and then we went to bed...what a nice neighbor haha!

All week we have been trying to strengthen and clean up our area with investigators and making. The area more excellent for Heavenly Father. We had many great experiences and talked to a lot of people wanting to hear about the Gospel! But however it was still rough with all of the rain this week!

We had a great general conference weekend! We saw a miracle! We have been working with Shield Bailey for 5 months now and she has had a hard time excepting the things we have been teaching her. 

Now she is reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it! Yay! She promised to come to general conference at the church and it was amazing. She came to the third session of general conference and the spirit was so strong! The talks were exactly what she needed to hear and to top it all off on one of songs that all of the congregation was asked to stand on, they showed a glimpse of sign language interpreters signing the song! She saw it and yelled "how cool!" then gasped! We gasped too because we knew it was not a coincidence that God inspired he camera man to show that part! When the session ended we asked her what she thought. She said that it was incredible and that she had every single question answered! She said she also had never seen any other church be so knee deep in appreciating the deaf community that she wanted to cry when she saw that( her daughter and granddaughter are deaf). We are going to invite her tonight to be baptized! We hope all goes well! 

The Lord's Plan B

Also while watching conference we were confused as to why we hadn't seen Sister Scire or Adam there! And boy does Satan like to trap people!

We felt impressed after the third session to drive over to Sister Scire's house and the first thing her son says if "she sprained her ankle" and we were so bumbled out because we walked in and his testimony was confirmed! She was laid up in her bed with her foot rapped! But Satan deserved his lips ripped and wasn't gonna get away with that trial standing in her way. So we called around trying to figure out which channel conference would be on. Unfortunately she didn't have cable but! She had a daughter with Internet on her phone! We set her up and got everything ready to be broadcast for the very last session and left!   

Heavenly Father is so amazing that He just always has a Plan B. everything! It reminds me in 1 Nephi 3:7 "I will go and do the things which the Lord has commanded. For I know the Lord give the no commandment saver he shall prepare a way for it to be accomplished." TRUTH!

Well this week was great because Sister Jensen and I have gotten a lot close and a lot better friends! She is awesome and has so much light and truth in her! I love her a lot!
I hope that you all have a wonderful week and that you all found answers to your questions at conference! Let us all strive to be a little better and try a little harder to follow God's commandments and trust in Heavenly Father!

(This was a very light email week.  In fact, I was the lucky one to at least get a response to my email, anything from her is awesome!)

***Questions for our Kizzer**

Are you getting transferred on next week’s transfers?

No I am not getting transferred. I believe I will be here for this one and the get transferred. This transfer will be interesting because we got some good looking baptisms coming up :)

Oh I bet you were bawling! I was so busy all week that I stopped on Saturday morning during exercises and realized Syd had her endowments out! Crazy! I felt so bad for forgetting! I am really proud of her! I think looking back and now thinking about how your and i's conversation went about how we were unsure if she would serve a mission and now she is?! Plus her endowments are now out?! Wow I can't comprehend it! But I know God has His hand in it!

And yes that is an incredible scripture! I am loving the bible more and more that I read it. But I am not sure how much I would love it if I never had the book or Mormon, doctrine and covenants and a living prophet for further direction! I feel like if I read the bible without that further instruction I would either be agnostic or build my own church! Crazy how the world works!

God has a perfect plan!

Yes dad is amazing! You and dad are both my favorite parents! ;) of course no one will take the place of my Heavenly Father (daddy in heaven) but I love all of my family members haha :)

Well I love you mom. Thank you for accepting the call to be my mom. I know that it was probably rough a few times but you handled me with grace and love!

Have and a wonderful conference week! I hope work and school play out for the benefit of your spiritual needs! :)
