Herrow Family!

What a week...for you and me! :) Brenny, I just can not believe that you are graduating this week...I keep on telling you that you can not grow up with out me! You are not listening to well!! :) Harry...you are growing like a weed yourself and going to have a big old birthday here soon! I will be praying for all of you and that this week is a memorable week with miracles as well!

My Week:

Monday's Reminder- was great! We got to go spend some of the day with the Dellingers (recent convert in the Westfield ward) and be with them. They spoiled us rotten and just took good care of us! I realized how blessed I truly was to know these family and be a part of their miracle. Tim is really doing well. He is active in his calling and I am thankful for his example of humility and kindness. Everytime I come over he tells his family and friends his "daughter" is coming home. He is so very kind and I am blessed to have that family in my life.

Tuesday's JOY- was such a good day...we just worked our little tale ends off...we were able to teach so many wonderful people and found a really neat new investigator named Dominic. We see him tomorrow and we are anxious to teach him. He was so sincere about seeking for truth. We came home that night and couldn't stop smiling....hard work = JOY!

Wednesday's MIRACLE- We had a miracle! So, a week ago Bishop had given us some assignments to go and visit some people he had been thinking about. So, we had been working through that list and got to Sister Richardson, who Bishop had not seen in years and wanted us to give her a try. So, we called her the day before and she was so sketched out about us calling. She kept asking us why we were calling and who sent us. We played the "new missionary" card and that we just wanted to get to know her. So, after being VERY persistent with her she said we could come the next day in the afternoon but...she said we needed to call her first. Well, Sister Tua and I are no "greenies" anymore. We knew what she was doing so as soon as we got off the phone with her, we scheduled to see her at 11am the next day!! haha Well, we pull up the next day at 11am and her door was wide open and you could smell bacon and hear some good old gospel music. We knock on the door and she lets us in with a big smile on her face and everything! We got to know her a little bit and long story short, she was planning on not ever answering the door but, she said the night before she was saying her prayer and the spirit told her we were coming in the morning and to let us in! :) I LOVE that woman...if you don't know what "soul power" is you just need to meet Sister Richardson...she has got some SOUL! She came to church on Sunday and is coming out teaching with us this week! MIRACLE!

Thursday's Grace- We were teaching Doug and as we were reading Enos with him, he just paused and we asked him what he was thinking. His eyes filled with tears and he just said, "I am thankful I know there is a God" that hit me like a ton of bricks. I can't believe how lucky we are to just know....there is a Father in Heaven!!

Friday's Hooiser- Friday we were tracking at 730 and it was so beautiful! The weather...everything was perfect! We went and knocked on Jeff's door (good name ugh?) and here comes the good old hooiser...no shirt...beer in one hand...cigarette in the other...He pretty quickly allows us to teach him on his porch and I boy, I wish you all could have been there. The spirit was and could not have been stronger. I walked away from that lesson, with the sun on my back, and about to ready to float...I was on such a spiritual high! He committed to come to church and we have taught him 2x since then. mmmmmmm

Weekend on blessings!- Such a good weekend. Lots of teaching, laughs, and good tracking stories. Doug and Keli came to church, they loved it! :) Jeff didn't end up making it...due to the Indy 500 race....he said that this was a religion to him, he promised he would come next week.  I wasn't kidding when I said he was a hooiser! haha (remind me when I get home to tell you about the long version of what happened to Jeff that day!) haha!

I could go on and on but I save the rest for later! :) This week was so wonderful! I know that I am being led by a mission President who has communication with God, more then a million times he has been an answer to a prayer for me and done it in such a  loving manner. I love him and I am thankful for his sweet wife. They are games changers to me in my life and I love them dearly.

 I love this gospel. I know it is true. I know there is goodness that radiates from the gospel. I love the word radiate. Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ Radiate, they are light and truth and I love them dearly. I know the spirit has many roles to help us in our life. I am thankful for that!

 I love you all! Good luck this week and don't forget to be consistent! :)

God bless you in this great work! :)

Love,

HEROOWWW!

This week was so great!

Lets just start with.....

Monday......VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY!

Okay so for our preparation day one of the members owns a sports complex with 8 volleyball courts and so we got permission to have a multi zone volleyball tourney. And it was the best preparation day I have had my whole mission! haha!! There was like 70 missionaries there and the teams were separated by districts and we played nearly all day out in the sun and sand! It was so fun! 

So...we were pretty lucky and well lets just say our district is pretty stacked and so we played 14 games in a row...made it to the championship game and WE WON THE WHOLE THING! haha!! We were so pumped! You should of seen all of us cheering at the end...you would have thought we won something much bigger then a volleyball tourney on pday!  (#missionaryprobs) I literally had dreams and couldn't stop thinking about it for hours straight after the games! :) It was a glory moment!!

The rest of the week was much like the volleyball tourney...SO GOOD! We are seeing Cherry so much right now because she is so close to making the decision to be baptized! :) Pray for her...her boyfriend is giving her some grief. 

Kayce and the kids are doing so good! They fed us two nights ago and they cleaned their house and they just are overall doing awesome! I love the fire of a recent convert! Our goal is that no one ever leaves or looses that fire right??? :)

Exciting news....we found a hippy this week! :) She is awesome! I secretly have always loved the hippy life! So being around her is kind of fun! Her name is Peddle and she is so sweet! Very anti a lot of things we believe in but, something keeps telling me to not give up on her!

This week I have studied a lot about Grace. I would encourage you all to read the talk Elder Uchtdorf gave on grace this most recent general conference. It is spot on. Grace does cover thankfully...and we now just get to follow and keep the commandments simply because we love him! :) I love my Heavenly Father! The power of Love is describable. It allows behavior, thoughts, and actions to change!!! I know love is what allows us to be who God wants us to be, who He knows we can become!!!

 On that note..I LOVE you all!!!

Love,

What is up!? :) 

Alex..I am so happy to hear your patriarchal blessing went well! I will never forget that day ...and I pray that you won't ever! Did you get my email? RESPOND you little rat sniffer! You only have three months to email Sister Clegg... Time is a ticking! 

Austy and Amister..I am so glad you will be at the fish! Will you take good care of it for me? And take good care of Daddio as well! 

Brenny ...have so much fun in California! Be SAFE! BPA has been good to you!! Can you believe I got to see you last year in Indiana?

This week was so great!  A growing one..but that is what makes the mission the best! 

Our gators are doing so well! I love them all so much! They are so humble and really down to earth...my kind of people! :) They have taught me so much...I am very grateful to be here!! 

Update on our peeps...

The Grigsby family is all doing great! :) We literally woke them up on Sunday..did the kids hair and fed them breakfast, and made sure they came!! Kayce had texted us and said that she didn't get any sleep the night before so she wasn't going to go...and well...Sister Tua and I didn't really like that answer... SO...we "encouraged" them a little... and they all made it to Church on Sunday! Titiana bore her testimony and it was so sweet! She made me go up with her...  I all of a sudden felt like a little Mom taking my little girl up to bear her testimony! She is wonderful and her testimony touched a lot of peoples hearts! :) They are excited for Saturday and hoping everything will go well! :)

Cherry is doing great! She came to church and loved it! She participated and everything and had some really good questions this week as we taught her the Plan of Salvation. She is very sweet and sincere! I love her! She is an amazing woman! :) 

Doug, Zach, Thomas, and Dani are doing awesome ! We are so blessed! We also found two families this week and I am so excited for them! :) I love missionary work...God is so involved this work! God is this work! 

Events that happened:

Exchanges- MLC- so fun! We got to play kickball in the afternoon and President was the pitcher! haha I may or may not have kick the ball right at him...good thing he is a good sport and chucked it right back at me! :) It was so much fun and the training were incredible! We have zone conference on Wednesday and so I am excited for that! We lost the phone...and found it by the grace of our loving Heavenly Father!

It was a great week! This week we have Zone Conference and a ward camp out that we are going up for the afternoon to speak at, I have my last Dentist appointment in Lafayette-so that means I get to see the Purdue peeps! :) ...AND the Grigsby's baptism. The kids and Kayce are getting baptized and hopefully the Grandma will be here with in the next few weeks! :) 

This week I gained a stronger testimony of changing our nature verses our behavior. Behavior being what we do on the outside...nature being what happens on the inside. It is possible to change what is in the inside of us. It is possible to change our thoughts, behavior, and actions. That is if we go to the source that allows it all to be possible. The Savior. I love Him. I know the power of the atonement is real and our natures can be changed. I have a lot of work to do but, I am thankful it is possible! :) 

I love you all! Thank you for everything you do for me and the prayers you are sending! I can feel them! I love them! I am praying for you all as well and I am so excited to talk to you on Sunday! Boy..doesn't really matter how long you have been out... I still get giddy knowing I am going to talk to you all. :)

I love you !

Love, 

Sister Clegg :)
