Whooo! 

Hello my fellows! It is getting real here... and by real I mean CHILLY!!!! haha Pray my feet don't fall off! :) Cass has it a lot worse so I just remind myself of her and then I keep working! :)  This week!!! Oh where to begin! New Year! So, somehow on our Preparation Day the Dellingers (our recent converts from Westfield)  got permission from President to take Sister Hunt and I down to Westfield!!!!!!!!! It was soooooo much fun!! We went to the Indiana State museum and had dinner at their house... but it gets better! As I was chopping vegetables up for dinner,  Sister Dellinger said, "Sister Clegg there is someone here who wants to see you!" I turned around and THERE WAS DIRK!!! I was sooo excited I could have died! Then they JUST KEPT COMING! Carlos and Beverly Fernandez came, The Wirtz, Fishburns, The Yosts, and so many sweet people all surprised me and came to say hi! It was the best day of my life! Everyone was so kind and it was one of the most humbling and thoughtful things ever! I was on cloud nine!!! I didn't realize how much I missed the people in Westfield!!! It was so fun! Uhhh...mmmm I am still on a "high" because it was so great! That is how I started out my new year! haha YES!

The Surprise Party at Westfield with my people I love!!!

We had an exchange this week and we found a family and 3 other new investigators!! I think people feel bad for us because it is freezing outside so they let us in but HEY...whatever works right?! Then they can't deny the spirit that the message of the restoration holds! Boy I will never get tired of sharing the first vision! It is my favorite thing to share with people. All were miracles and I was so grateful for this week!

We also had MLC- which was really good! We talked about spiritual integrity and remembering what we promised while we are out here. It was so good and I am excited to be able to take what we learned and apply it!! We have zone meeting this week! 

In my studies this week I have been obsessed with the two words..."knowledge and understanding!" It has been very influential to me. I learned that we have to have knowledge...that is the first step, but then what makes a real difference is when you turn that knowledge into a understanding. Like for example...we as missionaries have a knowledge that we have to knock on doors...but do we UNDERSTAND why we knock on doors. The same can be applied for principle of the gospel. We know that we should keep the commandments but, do we UNDERSTAND why we should. I have loved learning more about the difference and looking for them in the scriptures. Maybe study it a little this week... it is awesome! :) 

Well, another week not on campus due to no students....and knocking on those wonderful Indiana doors...but I UNDERSTAND why we do that... so I am PUMPED! We also have some meeting and a really also a really special treat...Sister Hunt and I get to go to the temple with President and Sister Cleveland and a YSA member!  We are so spoiled! :) 

I love you all and I love this work!! I receive no greater joy! 

You are the best! :)

Love,

Sister Clegg
