Hello everyone!

Man...what a big week! Cass...you get home! I just want to let you know how much of an example you have been to me! Your service and your love for the Savior has lifted me and helped me sooo much! I will be praying for you and hoping your adjustment is smooth. I too don't know how I feel about the day I step off the plane...thank goodness it's not for a while! :) Everyone give Cass a hug for me...will ya?? :)

Transfer update------SISTER HUNT AND I ARE BOTH STAYING! So, we will be serving together for 4 and half months! We were so pumped! You should have seen us when we got the call...we were acting as if we won the championship game!

This week was incredible! One of my favorite weeks! We got to go to the temple and boy was that the best thing in the entire world! We went to the Chicago Temple. We got to do "sealings" because we accidently got there an hour early (who would have thought the first time I did sealings was on my mission?) haha!!! Then we did a session- the temple was perfect! I have never learned so much at one time and it felt like heaven on earth to be there with such wonderful people and place! Then we all went to lunch and had such a wonderful time! We got to walk around downtown Chicago and it was snowing...it was a dream come true!! I was soo thankful for Michelle! (A member that took us that is just my favorite person!) It was such a special, sacred day! :) The Zone leaders got to come with us as well and that was a blast!

Chicago!

Lunch afterwards with Michelle who took us!! Love her!!! 

So, I don't know if you remember the story about frozen yogurt and the amazing experience we had with the "He is the gift" video in the yogurt place? Well, we got "Amy" as a new investigator and we have been teaching her ever since! She has been progressing really well since then! She is actually in the 3rd ward boundaries so we will have to pass her off soon... but I am so grateful I have been able to be apart of her journey! This week we taught her about the Book of Mormon and I will never forget that lesson! EVER! We went through the pictures at the beginning of the book and up until this point she has just been soaking it all up! She was loving the story of the Book of Mormon but, as we turned to the page of Christ appearing to the people in the Americas, Her face dropped and she gasped for a huge breath of air. The room filled with the spirit and it remained silent. She began to tear up and she told us she never knew Christ came here. She remained speechless. We bore testimony that He did and of His love for us and she bore testimony right back...she knew the Book of Mormon was true!! She accepted a baptismal date right then and there! I wish I could describe how much it meant to me to see her face light up the way it did. I wish I could say and describe the way it felt in that room that cold winter night, but I can't. I will forever be grateful for that experience. I love The Book of Mormon. I love the power it has for good!! It is a way to transform each of us! How thankful I am for that sacred book!!

We were so blessed with such a special week! Last week on the streets..this week its back to CAMPUS!!! whhhhoooooooooooooo! We cannot wait!

Love you all so much! You are all the best! :)

Love,

Sister Clegg the 3rd :)
