HI!!
This week has been great. We sadly
had some people ask us not to teach them anymore so we had to drop them but we
are still seeing them and letting them know we love and care for them. We are
also teaching some great people though. Sister Stirling and I are doing good as
Comps. We are learning really how to teach in unity and we are at times where
we have flaws but we are working together to help fix them and being able to
grow as comps and friends. Some fun things we have been doing is we got
together as a zone today and played volleyball and dodge ball which was great.
We also get to listen to music but sadly a small selection so we always just
Jam out to EFY songs in the car. It’s been raining a lot so we have been
driving to most places. I guess the rain is making up for it being sunny the
last 2 weeks. It’s been a little hard though with the sun not shining recently
because I am not getting the same amount of Vitamin D like I did in AZ and it’s
been hard for my body to have the same energy and I am not myself. So we are
going to the store to get some and see if that helps. We’ll that’s pretty much
it for this week.
I love you so much:)

I am so grateful for the Atonement
and that we have the proper way and authority to help us be clean and pure. It
is amazing what it does for us and how through Christ we can do all
things.
We have lots of people we teach that
we discuss the Atonement and how we can help them know how they can be clean
and the repentance process. I am like best friends with my trainer we are
really hoping we get to stay together for Christmas.
An investigator gave us a huge tree to put in our apartment with all that good
stuff so we have a tree all cute and decorated. We have other decorations so we
are pretty spoiled as sisters. We get so much from our investigators and
members it’s amazing.
We had zone conference and it was
amazing!! They talked all about higher expectations and how we need to set
things up and do it! "Try you sit, this is about doing" Forever
strong. My new moto. It will be great we are gonna do so much this next few
weeks I am excited to see the miracles that come from what we put into the
work. We also learned that soon we will have Facebook and in January we will
have Ipads so that will be cool to have. Very niffty I will say.
We have some new people we are
teaching so that will be great. We are doing a lot so it will be great and
awesome!!! I LOVE IT!!. It is freezing though. It is usually 20 degrees each
day during the day so you can say that I am turning into a ice cube haha. It
was supposed to snow a few days ago and all schools closed down for like 2 days
and guess what! IT DIDNT SNOW!!! So kids had no school for no reason. CRA
CRAY!!
Anyways all is well. Have a great
week love you all so much!!! :)
I MISS YOU SO MUCH AND LOVE YOU and remember
who you are and always remember that I love you :) <3

Hope your well.
Things are great here. Lots of busy
work going on. We are having our first baptism this Saturday. The girl is 13 so
it will be such a great experience. We are teaching so many great people and
working with some who are working towards baptism so it’s great to see the change
people make and happiness the gospel brings to their lives. I don’t know if the
package you sent got here yet it may come later in the day today so we shall
see. I look forward to seeing you on Christmas. I am not sure yet when we will
Skype but we are seeing like 2 or 3 families so one of them will probably have
Skype. We sadly only get to Skype for 30 minutes this time for some reason not
sure but it will be great. Love you lots and hope you are enjoying the
holidays. Miss you all tons.

Wow lots of things haha. I will tell
you everything tomorrow when we talk there is so much going on. I did get your
packages thank you we will open them tomorrow. We are having an amazing time
here with members and investigators. I will have to tell you all about the
baptism. Last night we were invited to
spend time with President Young and his family and only a select missionaries
could go due to distance so it was a honor to go and be with the missionaries
and his family. It was so amazing and I love them so much!!! :) I am hoping the
package came already they said it would come on Monday so I pray it got there.
Thank you so much for all you do and I love you so so much!!! :) I can’t wait
to talk to you tomorrow!!
We are unsure when we will be
skyping I will call tomorrow morning to give you the plan. We were planning on
skyping our families at 12ish until dad informed us about you leaving for so we
are going to try to find another family that will let us skype in the morning.
Love you tons and hope your all well.
Ps we get Facebook today and Ipads
in January. LOVE YOU!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!

Well rest of Christmas was awesome we got to go to a place called shore
achers where there is a area that is covered in lights and it’s like temple
lights but the lights form like sea creatures and stuff it was awesome!! We did
get sick and yes we are okay. It’s not strep but the mission office said I had
to test it because I had all the symptoms. We stayed in for a day to rest
because both sister Stirling and I were just in horrible shape and we didn't
want to get anyone else sick too. The next day we took it easy but I will tell
you right now that DOTERRA OILS WORK!!! We had a member who is part of it take
care of us and help us with how to use them and help get us better and we felt
great after 2 days because the oils work miracles and are awesome!! Mom you
should look into being a distributor because they are so awesome and do so much
good to our bodies and lives!!
On Sunday
we had a general authority speak in sacrament Elder Hansen. He was awesome!! He
spoke on break missionary traditions and how the past is no longer good enough
we need to step it up on missionary work and becoming better and setting higher
standards.
We had an awesome experience
yesterday with a part member family. It’s Brooke's family, the one who is new
member. So we are teaching now her sister in law, cousin and best friend the
lessons and it was crazy because they all were at a lesson at once (Not
recommended) and it was crazy and a bit hard to keep the spirit strong but
Amanda wants it and is on top of things!! We got her on date for the 21st!!!
She totally wants to be baptized and her goal is more than to join the
church... It’s to be sealed to the whole family!!!! Brookes parents talked to
Amanda already about sealings and temples and she wants to be apart of that!!
It’s so AWESOME!! We will have 3 more people on date for baptism at the end of
this week so it’s going to be a legit awesome week. We can’t wait!!! :) Well lots happening but
we are doing awesome and miracles are happening left and right!! I love you all
so much keep up the great work in AZ and know that we all can do the
impossible.
Quote of the day: "Vision without action is a dream.
Actions without vision is a waste of time. Vision with actions can change the
world, it can change our missions and lives. When you have a vision teamed up
with faith and determination, you are unstoppable" President Young!!
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!! LOVE YOU!!!
Ps I challenge you to make goals on how you will change for
your Savior. It’s good to make goals on how to be better and such but think of
it as how will we change and make goals for our savior.
LOVE SISTER FLETCHER

This week has been truly incredible.
Us being sick has set us back a little but that doesn't stop us from moving
forward twice as fast so we can get back on track. Sister Stirling got food
poisoning so we had to stay home another day but God truly knows we are working
hard and helps us get back in our feet and provides miracles left and right. We
had a lesson with Amanda ( Brookes Sister in law. Brooke recently was baptized
and their family who are recently reactivated) and it was awesome. She is on
date to be baptized on the 17 so next week with each lesson we have, she gives
answers like she is already a member of the church. She is so ready and has
such a strong testimony and we just finished lesson 3. It’s
so awesome!! Her husband Thomas isn’t interested at all but sits on the lessons
and will talk to Amanda after the lessons about what we talked about and what
she learned so he will for sure will come around but just wants to do it on his
own time with no pressure. But anyways the lesson we had was great. After we
finished the lesson we discussed how she was feeling about the lessons and
baptisms and she explains how it feels so right for her and how she is ready
for all that is to come. And then we asked if she has felt the Holy Ghost in
the lessons and in her life and she started tearing up and said yes and BAM!!
the spirit just filled the room and we all were getting teary and just felt it
stronger than ever before. It was one of the most greatest lessons we have had
with an investigator and our companionship unity was more unified than ever
before. IT WAS SO GREAT!! Anyways we are just grateful that even though being
sick has been rough we still are given miracles and are receiving blessings for
being consecrated missionaries and doing the Lords work above and beyond. I
know that by being out here we are blessing so many others lives helping
families come closer together and to help them go to the temple to be sealed. It’s
been an awesome week and I look forward to telling you more next week and how
things go with other investigators and their progression.
I love you all so much and hope you have a great week. Be
safe and have fun and continue on the Lords work in AZ.
LOVE YOUR FAVORITE MISSIONARY :)
