Magical March

This week was pretty awesome! We picked up some really great investigators this week! Two of which came from members. We were able to have a family home evening with one of them on Monday, and it went soooo well! We are super excited about teaching her. I know that as we utilize members in not only the teaching and baptizing process, but in the finding as well we will be able to find those who are more prepared and will stay strong in the church! The members are amazing! And you play such a HUGE role in the work of salvation!

Hermana Manwill and I did our first training ever at zone meeting on Tuesday. It actually turned out really good though. We sang a song with the zone leaders that they wrote called magical March, Elder Jacobsen played the guitar for us and it was great. I will have to get you the lyrics it was pretty funny. We talked a lot about conversion and consecration, and how the atonement and Book of Mormon help us to achieve that. I really have a fear of talking in front of large groups of people, so it was a little scary, but I survived! And I know The Lord is not content with our weaknesses. So I'm grateful that he is pushing me outside of my comfort zone so that I can rely more fully on him. We are going on our first exchanges this week, so hopefully all goes well! The sisters here are great I love them so much. It’s fun being a sister training leader and being able to help out more and be there to support the sisters.

Oh my goodness I forgot I need to tell you the biggest Spanish mistake I have made on my mission so far. It was pretty bad, like worse than when I randomly exclaimed my love for sheep in the middle if dinner, but it actually turned out to be pretty funny because everyone couldn't stop laughing and I had no idea what I said until like two minutes after once they calmed down when they could finally explain it to me. And so it was ok in the end even though I was like suuuuper embarrassed. So after our super amazing lesson that we had in our members home with our new investigator I was going to ask if it was OK if before we left if we said a prayer so what I was trying to say was "esta bien si despedimos..." but instead I said "esta bien si disperamos..." basically translation instead of saying "is it ok if we leave with..." I said "is it OK if we shoot ourselves..." yeah it was bad but they thought it was hilarious and my face was bright pink. Yep. It happens. Ha-ha

Also one of our investigators Edwardo (he’s 10) had an amazing experience this week! We told him that if he took the time to read in the book of Mormon that it would help him with his homework. He had a some tests this week and he took his book of Mormon to school and read in it before he took the test. He said it helped calmed him down and helped him to feel really good inside and guess what?!! He got 100% on both of his tests! Bam! Power of the book of Mormon is real! Try it! :) I seriously cannot even tell you how much I love that book! I know I say it all the time and you are probably all sick of it by now, but I promise you that as you read daily you will see a SIGNIFICANT difference in your life. Miracles are awaiting you! Love you all sooooo much! Talk to ya soon, have a totally fantastic week full of all sorts of cool stuff! Anyways talk to ya soon! Adios!

MAGICAL MARCH

[Verse 1]
We've come a long way,
We've been here a long time,
But today is the day
That we make up our mind!

We've been called here to serve
From day until night,
To give all of our strength,
With our heart, mind and might.

[Bridge]
From the desert in Yuma,
To the town of Tempe,
To the valley of Phoenix,
Where we all want to be,

Were the Lord's chosen servants
And the field is prepared.
Down here in Phoenix
We are going to have

[Chorus]
A Magical March!
Magical March!
Find, Teach and baptize in a magical march!
Magical March!
Magical March!
It's all about the members in a magical march!
Were making March a Magical Month!

[Verse 2]
We invite, they commit,
then we follow up.
How to begin teaching,
Yeah that's what's up!

Revelation through church attendance
Revelation through prayer
Revelation through the Book of Mormon
And the spirit will be there!

Doctrine of Christ,
Role of the Holy Ghost
Teach people, not lessons,
And we'll baptize the most!

[Bridge]
From the desert in Yuma,
To the town of Tempe,
To the valley of Phoenix,
Where we all want to be.

Were the Lord's chosen servants
And the field is prepared.
Down here in Phoenix
We are going to have

[Chorus]
A Magical March!
Magical March!
Baptizing Phoenix in a magical march!
Magical March!
Magical March!
No one's falling off date in a Magical March!

[Closing]
Phoenix, So Good, They named a City after us!
Phoenix, So Good, They named a Mission after us!
Phoenix, So Good, They named a BIRD after us!

And were humble too!
