GREETINGS!!
Sounds like you are busy and happy! Good way to be! :)
Brenny..I am proud of you! You are a STUD! Homecoming King!!! Alex... I love and miss you like
crazy! I am expecting an email this week or else..... Austy and Amy I love you

you so much! Good luck with closing up the Lake! Burry the treasure in a good
spot for Brennen's Birthday this year okay? :) haha Love you all! :)
What a good week! It felt good to be in my area and work. We are running really low on miles this week so...we have been trying to work as
hard as we can with the amount of miles we have on the car. Sister Evans is a
good sport. Sometimes I forget to rest and Sister Evans is a good companion
and supports me but kindly reminds me to slow down! I have never really been
good at that. Still working on it! :)
Ummm ....Where to start? Every week is filled with miracles and
learning experiences, and time flies by so quickly that things are running
together! Don't worry..I am keeping a good journal. :)
Um...We starting teaching a man named Rob... and I LOVE HIM! But Rob..is a great man and He has a lot of changing but...the atonement was made
for just that...change!
Ed is doing so well. He went up to Bishop yesterday
and told him to announce his baptism in Sacrament meeting! He is so sweet
and I truly love him. He is so obedient and humble! :)
I will tell a miracle that happened this week! Sister
Evans and I felt so prompted to go to one of our investigators house last
night. We were already VERY tight on miles...but we knew what we were feeling
was a prompting so we acted on faith and went. We knocked on her door and she
cracked the door open. (which is not typically like her...normally she welcomes
us in with so much love) We said hello and told her we missed her. She still
remained fairly cold with us. I asked if I could come in and give her a
hug...she let us in and we asked how she was doing. She looked at me straight
in the eyes and said "We need to talk." My heart dropped and I knew
it couldn't be good. She sat us down on the couch and she told us she was not
getting baptized November 8th (her baptismal day.) I quickly said a prayer for
help and guidance and asked her what was going on. She addressed some concerns
and we tried to really understand where she was coming from. We then explained
the reason of why we extend baptismal dates...letting her know it was a chance
for her to act in faith so she could receive an answer. She understood a little
better and her face was beginning to soften. We testified boldly of the
importance of this message and how we didn't want her to go another day with
out the truth. The spirit was so strong and I was so grateful for the spirit
filling my mouth as I spoke. God blessed us. We left with two appointments set
up this week and a smile on all of our faces. I know that what was said and what
was felt...was ALL because of the spirit. I am grateful we went in faith to her
door. She would have dropped us and we would have lost her...but God loves all
of his children. It was a touching experience for me, I love Pat with all my
heart and I am so glad the spirit took care of things. This was a humbling experience..I knew what "Sister Clegg" was
going to say would not have saved her...but because of what the spirit
said...we can and will continue meeting with her. Thankful for the Lord's hand
in ALL things!
Well, I continue to be blessed and loving my life as a
sister missionary! There is no greater calling and I have gained a real
testimony this week of the spirit, President was inspired to speak with us on
the importance of the Holy Ghost. I have been able to teach, testify, and find
better this week because I am leaning more on the spirit. I am thankful for
that! I love you and hope you are all prepared for General Conference! There is
no better weekend for a missionary than GENERAL CONFERENCE! Come with questions
and watch revelation flow! :) Love you all!
Love,
Sister Clegg the 3rd
