I love being a Representa
Hello!
this week was just so GREAT and it ended great on Sunday with stake conference. A bunch of RMs came to visit the mission and came to conference it was crazy to see them. Especially the sisters. They have legs! haha I always see them in skirts....but pants is a different story! Anyway, it was great, and I got to see a bunch of people from my first area! They even remembered me :-) That was great to have bunches of people running at me with hugs. Sweet experience. I saw Yari and Rosa and a whole ton of other people you have no idea who I'm talking about, but that's okay. Anyway, It was a great week. We found a lot of people this week too. We are working really well together! I'm so happy. Can you tell? I hope so.
I'm going to go cut my hair in an hour.
That was random.
On Sat we will find out transfer calls. We'll see what happens. They still don't have their visas. There are 2 spanish sisters coming out...that were unexpected next week. All of us are already trainging. Hna higley, me and Mulliner...are the ones that will finish training this week. They are also implementing now the "Exchange sisters". I have no idea how everything is happening, but it is. I wish you all could be in the excitment on where I'm at. Well I guess you can, go help your missionaries!!!!!!!!!!! ha.
Sorry this is short, I'll end with 2 thoughts. We taught someone for the first time and as he looked at the BOM he said "I've never had a book of mormon before." He looked at the book as if he already knew it was of God. People are prepared. Help the missionaries and give them names. Also, I feel that as members of the church of Christ we don't really understand what we have. Just a thought. okay but that's sad, so to end on a happy note, I know it's all true. Every week I get to sit in a church that was established when Jesus Christ came to earth and established it. It's changed my life.
I love you!

This is what my Missiong president had to say.....I'm so excited!!!
"As you may know, last week we met with all of the other California mission presidents (and one from Hawaii) to be trained and taught. Elder L. Tom Perry was presiding and was accompanied by Elder Richard J. Maynes (our area supervisor) and his assistants, Elder Marcos Aidukaitis and Elder Gregory Schwitzer. The subject was Missionary Work, no surprise there.
Elder Perry was very clear that we as a Church have entered a new era. There has never before, in the history of the world, been anything like it. He says he daily thanks the Lord that he has one more day to see this all unfold. He talked a bit about the revelation to lower the mission age came to be. The Twelve had approached the First Presidency with the recommendation that the age of Elders be lowered. The First Presidency kept it under advisement for a year before putting it on the agenda for discussion in their weekly Temple meeting with the apostles. The original suggestion to lower the age was for Elders, the First Presidency surprised the Twelve with lowering the age for Sisters, also. Elder Perry testified of the direct revelation to the Prophet on that matter.
Elder Perry repeatedly stated that we are in a new time. That things are different now and that we are privileged to be a part of it. One Mission President who will be released in July, commented how he would give anything he owned to be able to stay two more years. But thanks to the Elders and Sisters who have come before, we have the strength and foundation to enter this new era. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants."

"As Sister Hall mentioned in her letter last week, we received some wonderful instruction from the Mission Presidents Seminar with Elder L. Tom Perry. There is no question in my mind that the Lord is preparing more of His children to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ as He hastens His work. At this point it looks like we will be receiving 20 new missionaries next week and at least 30 new missionaries in June. That’s 50 new missionaries in the next two months – about 25% of our current mission size! And it doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. By the next transfer, we will have at least 100 missionaries participating in the 12 Week Training Program for New Missionaries and possibly more if we are assigned additional new missionaries or if we receive additional missionaries waiting for their visas. We will all need to step up our game to be prepared for this amazing hastening of the work.
I know that each of you have been called by a prophet of God to be a missionary in this unique and wonderful time in the Church. This truly is a new era of the Church, and we have been called to be the Lord’s servants in His vineyard. I am so grateful for the opportunity to work side by side with each one of you and am so very thankful for your diligence and faith.
We love you!
President and Sister Hall"
