Caves And Conference!

Image
This week was so great! We started off by doing a district pday in the caves near us and then we had some really good tacos at a fancy taco place! I have never seen a fancy taco place. We then had an amazing zone conference! It seems like our mission is starting to get us to talk to more people out in public! We have social media down but now we have to face our fears of talking to people in person but it has been fun! This week while being out on a walk we met someone who was playing an accordion so that was cool! We then had exchanges! I got to see Sister lovell!! I was with Sister Hollingsworth and we went to the capital and did some street contacting! We got a couple people who wanted to hear a message!! We also taught someone the restoration on the bus! It was so cool!  I keep having people from Green Bay reach out to me so we've done a lot of pass off lessons!  Ah so much happened but I don't have enough time to finish the email!  I love you all and I hope you have ...

Mt. Horeb- The Troll Capital Of The World

Hello everyone!! I hope you all have had a great week! We had exchanges this week which were so fun! I got to go out to Verona and Mt. Horeb! I'm not sure of the back story but it is the troll capital of the world? It was so fun to see all the troll statues! Sister Anderson is so adorable and I love exchanges because you are able to get to know the people in our zone more! We got to help one of the families unpack and as we were unpacking I found an old FFA jacket and then I got excited and we started talking about ag! I've only been in cities so it's been a while since I've talked about anything about agriculture. I loved it! We then went to a member dinner and they made creme Brule which was so good! Sadly we had to decline torching it ourselves but it was still fun to watch! We had a really good lesson with our friend Tresor that I was able to find through the facebook page! It was one of those lessons that as we were teaching you can just feel the peace and joy that...

Talk

Good Morning brothers and sisters! I am Sister McGary and I am so excited to speak to you today!  A little bit about myself. I grew up in California and have lived in Utah the last couple years. I love anything in agriculture and in performing arts. I am so excited to serve in Madison and I can't wait to get to know you all! I was asked to talk about the talk by Sister Cordon, "Come unto christ and don't come alone"  When I first read my topic for this talk I was so excited because this was a perfect opportunity to talk about missionary work! I will still touch on this subject  but as I prepared for this talk I started to be guided by the spirit to go in a different direction than I had originally planned. As I thought about this concept,come unto Christ and don't come alone, it reminded me of a part in the talk: this is our time. Elder S. Gifford Nielsen spoke about the 2 great commandments "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all t...

Conference In A Masonic Lodge?

Image
Hello everyone!  This week has been crazy! We had two conferences this week and they were both amazing!  We had MLC (mission leadership council) where all the Sister Training Leaders and Zone Leaders came together to get training and to plan a combined district council. I am so sorry I am the worst at explaining things. It was such an amazing conference!  Then we had CDC on Friday! The middle meeting point for everyone in our zone is Dodgeville where they meet at a Masonic lodge because they don't have enough people to have a church building there. It was so interesting. They had symbols, spears, gavels, thrones, and spheres everywhere. We are all so curious what they all mean or are used for! But the CDC went so well! I was so scared because it was my first time running one! We did a cool activity where we made a puzzle, gave them all puzzle pieces, had them write their strengths that will help our zone, and then we put it all together to make a picture of Christ! I real...
