Hello!
Wow...What a week!!! I can not even tell you how AWESOME this
week was for me! We had a
General Authority come and speak to us!! (Elder Perkins) and I got to
go to Westfield to watch Tim get baptized...PLUS SEE THE WESTFIELD WARD!
Ya...If I could really describe this weekend to you..well I would
but...I can't do it justice, but I will try!!! So, On Saturday the Dellingers
(Tim's family) came and picked Sister Evans and I up. They were so sweet! It is
basically 3 hours away and they came and got us! We talked the whole way and
Tim said that he was excited to come pick up his daughter!! :) They just took
me in as if I really was! :) We stopped to get a bite to eat and then headed to the
baptism. Tim was so happy and he truly looked lighter when he came out of that
water! He said he felt so good and didn't want to do anything in fear that he
might mess it up! Haha (He is one of the most humble people I have met!)
After the baptism...we got to stay with the Dellingers at
their house! It felt like home! It was so great! Then the next morning we all
got ready for church and what magic that was to attend my old ward! All of the people that I love SO
much! Poor Sister Evans was such a good sport to just watch me hug all these
people..it really was such a joy! We sang "Because I Have Been Given Much" in Relief Society and I was a crying fool. I couldn't tell you how
blessed I felt to be able to come back for Tim's baptism and be in the Westfield
ward again! It was a weekend I will never forget! NEVER! Tim looked so happy
and I am grateful I got to be part of his journey! So Blessed!!!

Then as soon as the Dellingers dropped us off at our place (3 hour drive) we hoped in the car with the Sister Training leaders and drove to Layfette (2 1/2 hr drive) for Mission Conference with Elder Perkins. That was incredible!! I learned so much!! He spoke on the power of the Holy Ghost and importance of
obedience. We role played a couple times. (I luckily dodged that bullet) Then he
opened up at the end for any questions and that my friends was an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! It was so touching!! I walked away having a very strong desire to
deepen my understanding of the gospel so I could be a powerful instrument in
the Lord hands!! How thankful I am!! I was called to bear my testimony at the
end..and I think I spoke?!...mainly bawled! Haha Just kidding..the Lord has
blessed me with a controlled tear flow-age from time to time...? (What did I just say??) haha I
loved it and I learned so much! I wish I could tell you all the things I
learned...but I do know that I know the power of the Atonement is real!!!
How blessed I am and how grateful I feel! Thank you for
being such a support to me. I love you all and am grateful to be a full time
missionary!! Never again will I get this experience in Indiana. How blessed I
feel and am excited to give a little back this week to my Heavenly Father! We
are going big! :)
I Love you! Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Clegg the 3rd :)
