CHEBOYGAN FOR 9!!!

Hi!!

Sorry I missed last week! things have been soo crazy! 

We got transfer calls last saturday! 

I'm staying in Cheboygan and training again!! I was so happy to hear that i get 9 months in this amazing place. 

tuesday we drove to Mt. Pleasant and I dropped off sis mcneill. Then i stayed with the sisters there! It was such a blast. We went frog catching and got ready for our new trainees!! 

And let me tell you... i think i have the best one! Sis Traughber is amazing. we've had so much fun and are laughing all the time. She's going to be such a blessing for Chegirlgan. 

After driving back from lansing, we went straight to work! Jacob is doing so so well. i'm so proud of him! I was reminiscing on where he was when we found him and how he is now... so much has changed. It's amazing to see the change that can happen in people because of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I know it's real and works when we turn to Him! 

I love feeling the fire of missionary work. we had a devotional with one of our mission leaders on Saturday. He shared the story of a rescue mission that happened in a war in 1993 ( i can't remember which war). There were two helicopters that had crashed and a third one was flying in. the 1st helicopter had people already rescuing them. the second one was left alone with militia converging on them. the crew on the third helicopter asked permission 3 times to save the crew who had crashed. they finally got permission to go down. they knew it would be a suicide mission but they went anyways. The men went down, and all of them died except for one. But, because they went down, one life was saved. 

In the devotional he compared that story to the Savior. He inserted Himself for us. He went down even though He knew that some wouldn't accept Him. He suffered for them anyways. 

He also compared it to our responsibility as missionaries. We are out here saving not only lives, but souls. This Gospel of Jesus Christ saves souls. This work the greatest rescue mission of all. 

there was such a powerful spirit as he shared.  I feel so honored to be a part of it! I know that this Gospel is true and that Christ is the head of this church! He guides it. I love it. 

this week we have the opportunity to listen to elder and sister bennett again!! I can't wait to be gathered with half of the mission and hear what they have to say. 

Love you all!!
