This week was good.  Did more exchanges which was fun.  Sister Quiles came with me to my area on Wednesday!  it was so much fun to hang around with her again!  I miss that girl!  But the cool thing that happened this week!  We went to visit Wayne and he wants to be baptized!!!!  We didn't even ask him.  When we went to visit him, he just said, I want to be baptized!  What an amazing miracle from God!  He is really looking forward to being baptized!  So we are planning things for this weekend.

So it's getting down to the end of serving here full time as a missionary in utah.  It has been the best experience of my life.  And worth leaving the comforts of home and things that I thought were important and necessary, when I've learned that things like that don't matter.  What matters it what you think of yourself and what God thinks of you.  Nothing else matters.

Video to help us to remember to come unto Christ.  Because He can help us with ANYTHING we are going through.  We just remember to come unto Him.

Hey Fam!

This week was so busy!  We had zone conference and then the mission conference with Elder and Sister Perry.  It was so good!  And it was great to be able to say goodbye to all the missionaries and companions that I've served with.  It was so sad to say goodbye!  And I also did exchanges with 3 companionships this week!  Holy Cow, it was a lot.  I first went out with Sister Harrelson.  She is 3 weeks out and in spanish assignment.  She did so well with her Spanish!  And it was so much fun!  Then I went with Sister Mann.  She is in Nepali assignment.  I had someone give me a Nepali name.  It's Puja.  Which means prayer!  Way cool!  And Sister Mann taught me how to tell people my name in Nepali!  I can't remember it right now.  But it was way fun!  And their translator Dulga came with us.  She is 13 and has been a member for about 2 years.  Her family went to the temple last year!  Awesome!  And then I went on an exchange with Sister Schwarz.  They don't have a car, so we did walking.  We were able to talk to a lot of people on the street.  I haven't done that in so long.  It felt so good to testify and teach to just random people!  And it was fun!  We had a good time together.  And we both got sun burnt!  :)

Check out this video clip!  It shows the life of Jesus Christ as He demonstrates His attributes.  I love this!  It just reminds me how amazing our brother and Savior Jesus Christ is.  I know that as we try to be more like Him, that we will come to know Him better.  I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ.  I love Him.  I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent His Son to the earth to suffer and die for us.  Love you all!!!  Have a great week!!!

Oh, and they are having a testimony meeting for all the missionaries going home.  It will be Monday, March 31st, 2014 @ 7pm.  Located at the Utah SLC East Mission Office 3487 South 1300 East SLC, Utah 84106

Hey Fam!

We had an amazing day today!  We got to go to the Salt Lake City temple!  It was so great!  I loved being there and seeing all of my old companions!  Best thing ever!  And we had a really great week!  We visited and taught so many less actives!  It was awesome!  I love visiting less actives!  We did have a really cool experience with Wayne.  We were teaching him and he told us that he didn't want to get baptized until he read the whole Book of Mormon.  We told him that he doesn't have to read the whole book to know that it is true.  We asked him if he believed in God, and believed that God knows everything, that the Lord will tell him the Book of Mormon is true.  He then prayed right there and asked.  The Spirit was so strong.  After the prayer we asked him how he felt.  He said that he felt exhilarted!  And for an 80 year old man, only the Spirit can make you feel that way!  And then we invited him to be baptized.  He said yes to March 8th.  We were so excited and so happy that he would agree to make that promise with the Lord and be baptized!  This was truly a miracle.  But on Friday the district leader went to do his baptismal interview and Wayne said he didn't want to be baptized.  We went to talk to him and he again said that he didn't want to be baptized.  And he didn't want to meet with us anymore.  He was saying that his health couldn't do it.  But we reassured him that he could.  He still said no.  It was really sad and depressing.  But he makes his own choices.  We can't make him be baptized.  We can only invite.  In the Lord's time, he'll get baptized.  We also gave talks yesterday.  It was good.

Watch this Mormon message about things that matter most!  It's awesome.  I was thinking about how life can be so full of just stuff.  And we look past the things that are awesome and we don't enjoy what's in front of us.  We have to find joy in our journey.  And know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are always there to help us up in our journey.  We must just look to them for help instead of carrying it all ourselves.  Love you lots!  Have a great week!

Dear Family,

This is gonna be short.  Ran out of time!  Sorry.  We had an okay week.  Met with lots of less actives.  Wayne came to church again.  And the branch president gave us another referral for a lady at another rest home!  Woot!  So we are excited to find these people to teach.  Weather has been amazing!  So nice and sunny.  We went walking a couple of days this past week.  It's been nice.  And I'm loving the missionaries in my zone!  We went bowling last week for pday.  It was fun!

Scripture for the week!!!

Mark 6:55-56

55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

 56 And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

These people had so much faith that they went looking for Jesus Christ to come and heal them!  How awesome is that?  They didn't wait for Him to come to them.  We have to go to Christ to come to know who He is.  We have to act upon that little faith that we do have.  And He will heal us.  These people were waiting in the street just to touch the hem of His clothes!  What great faith!  Faith to be healed.  

Have a great week!

Love,

Sister Marlow
