So I am anxious and all sorts of emotions today. I am sad because this is my last p-day, and I am happy because our golden contact, Bradley, is getting baptized this Saturday. He is an awesome guy and does missionary work already and everyone loves him. Since we have regional conference this Sunday, he will be receiving the Holy Ghost on March 8th.<br />
<br />
I somehow caught a cough that comes and goes with a runny nose and I get really hot in the morning, but that could be because of me getting anxious because I am closer getting on an airplane again. lol<br />
<br />
I did receive your Valentine card last Monday, and I will probably receive your letter today.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we cleaned our car which was not my favorite.<br />
<br />

Thursday was also a good day because we finally met some of our less active members in one of our wards.<br />
<br />
Friday we were in our car filling out reports when Sis. Colby opens the door to say hi to a dog. Well, the dog jumps in the car and starts licking our faces. We spent at least five minutes trying to get the dog out of the car. LOL<br />
<br />
Church was good. Even though I have only been here for six weeks, people have told me how much they will miss me and that really touched me.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what I want to do when I first get home. I guess if I am tired, take a nap. If not, I don’t know. I have no idea what to expect or how I will be feeling. I would prefer to each lunch at home, like chicken salad please.<br />
<br />
Just giving you a head-up, I will be leaving my pillow, CD’s, and towel for the other sisters to use.<br />
Today we have to go into Nampa to get a new phone because our phone will turn off on us all the time. After we get back from there we have the interview at 4 for Bradley and then at 7 we have a lesson. Tuesday I have my last district meeting, and then Wednesday is my departure interview. Thursday is my Temple trip and Friday is weekly planning. Then on Saturday we have the baptism and then the missionary conference with Elder L Tom Perry. Sunday we have regional conference which will be broadcast.<br />
<br />
I will probably email on Monday, but no promises because that is when I go to the mission home.<br />
<br />
Ok, well we have to head out now. See ya in 7 days.<br />
<br />
Love ya!<br />
<br />

<br />
Friday was my favorite day last week. Before we went on exchanges we had a Tic Tac war. Lol It was funny! Then I went out one last time with Sis. Dunkle.<br />
<br />
Valentine’s Day was good, not my favorite one, but good. I did get the package…that was a lot of chocolate! I did not get the family Valentine card.<br />
<br />
These are the Valentines I received one from the activity girls in our ward. So Sweet! The other from our sister training leaders.<br />

Something that touched my spirit this week is on Sunday we finished up the rest of the commandments with our golden investigator and we were worried because we were going to teach him WOW (Word of Wisdom) and we knew he smoked. On the day of the lesson his girlfriend told us that he had just stopped smoking and so he is getting the baptized the 28th of this month. I am so excited for him. His girlfriend is a member and she is so freakin' awesome!</div>
<br />
I am sick still. It comes and goes; Saturday was the worst, I went to bed at 9:30. I actually think the reason why I have been sick is because I have been stressed and nervous to come home.<br />
<br />
We are going to the Kuna caves today, so that could be interesting. We have a zone meeting this week which will be my last one. We usually have a speaker on training and a musical number. Then all the outgoing missionaries give our trunkamonies. We have 12 going home.<br />
<br />
I have to head out. <br />
Love ya!<br />
Sis. Donner<br />

<br />
Sunday was we had to go on splits because I had to be at a ward council meeting at 6:30 and Sister Colby went to ward council in the other ward, it was not my favorite morning.<br />
<br />
I saw Uncle Shawn at church yesterday, it was really nice. It was actually really emotional for me to talk to Uncle Shawn, but the spirit helped me. We chatted for a while. We will be having dinner with him at his brother-in-laws house soon, I don’t know when yet, he is going to set it up and then call us.<br />
<br />
So our golden investigator wants to be baptized soon. We haven’t set a date yet, we are actually going to let him set it. We saw him yesterday and we will see him this next Sunday. Our other investigators are just fine. Something that really touched me this week is when I was talking with one of our investigators I was able to discern his thoughts and feelings, so I knew what questions I could ask him.<br />
<br />
We Valentine candy you sent is already here, I just need to pick it up at the mission home.<br />
<br />
My favorite part of last week was Saturday because the weather outside was absolutely beautiful.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSvUhkFjsDiJtMzTCTH-wdhBOZJpBiWMjBEkr67T7ZNlhyphenhyphenUXrlSHWi0H5IlJJXSIJS3Qbzgc8Hz32qsJHFTI2lFI6ExdO83A8LzAxb209Px8yYC0KPTdbEiqVUjfd7DyJw3-tPEa2OnCk/s1600/Snoring.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSvUhkFjsDiJtMzTCTH-wdhBOZJpBiWMjBEkr67T7ZNlhyphenhyphenUXrlSHWi0H5IlJJXSIJS3Qbzgc8Hz32qsJHFTI2lFI6ExdO83A8LzAxb209Px8yYC0KPTdbEiqVUjfd7DyJw3-tPEa2OnCk/s1600/Snoring.gif" /></a>Something that made me laugh is when Sis. Colby said I snored and that I should pray to Heavenly Father to help me not to snore. Hahaha, I snored even louder that night.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSf0wOCI_nRf0dCvcbZqkgrwqC0t8-H915Z83eXS2s1VH8enbvYA6MhKRyttsFh5Ixub9AKHr76LtV6EZ80T1JG0r2j27EF7VoypbmetrOhIxhe5EyQzzXHf-r6h2lOxayHjSrwow3wa7h/s1600/Uncle+Shawn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSf0wOCI_nRf0dCvcbZqkgrwqC0t8-H915Z83eXS2s1VH8enbvYA6MhKRyttsFh5Ixub9AKHr76LtV6EZ80T1JG0r2j27EF7VoypbmetrOhIxhe5EyQzzXHf-r6h2lOxayHjSrwow3wa7h/s1600/Uncle+Shawn.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a>Health wise I did pretty good last week. I do not feel good today. Sister Colby was sick all last week and now I have whatever she has, so we are both sick. I’m not sure what it is that we have. All I know is I have stomach cramps that come and go, a really bad headache that doesn’t leave, and I am really tired so all I want to do is sleep. I woke up 6 times during the night. I am just really exhausted right now.<br />
<br />
I believe I will get to go to the temple on February 26th. I have no clue about my flight plans; I still haven’t been given any information. I will probably leave stuff and have Sis. Colby send things home after I leave.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what the plans are for today. We have building tours this week where we take non-members on tours around the building and exchanges.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I have to go now. <br />
Love Ya!<br />

So this week I have exchanges with my old trainer Sis. Dunkle. She is the mission’s new Sister Training Leader

Some days were pretty slow. We finished teaching the lessons to the kids from the less active family and they will be baptized this Wednesday, so I am looking forward to it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I love our golden investigator, he just soaks up everything and just wants to keep on learning. It is awesome! I was really touched when he thanked us for teaching him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So our other investigator is MIA…she won’t text us or anything.</div>
<div>
I did send two boxes which should arrive today and I will be sending another one today also.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sis. Coldby is just fun and chill. We have tons of fun with each other and I never feel on edge with her. Sis. Colby was tired of sleeping in her bed and she slept on the floor one night which made me smile.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 4th ward is awesome and helps out a lot, 5th ward is struggling. Our district is really energetic!</div>
<div>
My favorite part of last week was Thursday because it was a good day, and we had really good Mexican food. Lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My least favorite day of last week was Saturday because I felt a bit sick and I didn’t get enough sleep. So health wise I am feeling pretty good, I have caught another cold, but this time it isn’t bad.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After we go shopping today and have lunch, then I will send the package, and then we will come back to the church and I will get my hair trimmed by a sister. We might possibly play sports and then we will teach FHE. That is pretty much it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gotta go shopping now.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Love ya!</div>

<b>January 19, 2015</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>

I received a call from Pres. on Wednesday night that they needed to emergency transfer me because a sister was sick and needed to go home. She had really bad headaches and seizures; she had been out for a year. So I am now in Kuna which is 30 minutes from Middleton. I arrived here at 12 on Thursday afternoon. It is foggy right now and it rains a lot here.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am now with Sis. Colby who is just awesome! She is so quirky and is just so much fun. She has been out for 7 months and is a twin herself. She is the 5th of 8 in her family and she also attended BYU Provo. She is from Fort Worth Texas and her twin is serving in Mexico. I am still the senior companion, but we take turns calling and we are very open with each other. Yes, I still have a car.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK4uYUXXHBdjPiYqhZQxUkZ00q8cbGlGABL3aFnRI-iuH6MUVfuTbvy0VogzTQc-By2833YgpyLZsXVBwK-kDcT844UebgtYTGtoS0qcJ9RNxnZvsjki8Z3SzLBfH-c0VqPT1WSObT3WVQ/s1600/IMG_9142.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK4uYUXXHBdjPiYqhZQxUkZ00q8cbGlGABL3aFnRI-iuH6MUVfuTbvy0VogzTQc-By2833YgpyLZsXVBwK-kDcT844UebgtYTGtoS0qcJ9RNxnZvsjki8Z3SzLBfH-c0VqPT1WSObT3WVQ/s1600/IMG_9142.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a>We live with members and they happened to be gone right now. They are in their 50’s and will come back on Tuesday from Germany. We are moving into another members home probably at the end of this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The ward here needs a little boost, but they are really nice. Sis. Colby has been in this area for 6 weeks and we have 3 people who are going to get baptized soon and then a golden investigator.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was able to attend the baptism in my last area on Saturday. It was so good! Sunday was my favorite day of the week because we had an awesome lesson with the golden investigator. Sunday I also got to see my trainer, Sis. Dunkle. She literally ran at me and started crying because she got to see me one last time before I go home. It was awesome!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My least favorite day was Wednesday because I had to say goodbye to the people in Middleton so suddenly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We rearranged our furniture Sunday night so we could watch the church movie “Legend” in comfort on our tiny DVD player. It was really funny!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No slipping this week, but I did trip.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I’m not sure what we will be doing for the rest of our p-day, probably more laundry and cleaning.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I gotta go! Love ya!</div>

of the Holy Ghost she had an awesome blessing.
We have another baptism happening this weekend and our other
investigator is doing really well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We will find out this weekend if we will stay together as a
companionship, but we are all doing well.
We laugh a lot. Sometimes it
feels like they are trying to fix me instead of help me, but I know I am just
being stubborn.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I finally received your envelope, but the letter and whatever
else you had in there was stolen. There
was a nice slit in the side of the envelope.
I keep forgetting to send you one.<o:p></o:p></div>

Last week was busy because we were going back and forth
teaching our investigators, the Lord has really blessed us.<o:p></o:p></div>

My favorite day of last week was Wednesday because we had a
long skill check and a short lesson. Lol
It is raining and snowing here.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

My least favorite day was Thursday because it was so
slippery outside. I slipped on ice right
as we got out of a lesson and I had vowed that day not to slip.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
My health is ok. I
wake up an hour early every day before I have to and I have no idea why.<o:p></o:p></div>

So, after emailing last Monday, we went home and since we
had all been basically having a rough week, we each shared our frustrations and
things are better now. I’m still not
comfortable being the senior companion, but I’m starting to get used to being asked
where we are going, calling people, and stuff.
I still don’t feel exactly capable, but I’m getting better.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Transfers calls are next week and transfers
are on the 19<sup>th</sup>. We currently
have 11 trio companionships in our mission right now due to areas being closed
down or combined, so we may or may not stay as a trio</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had written Pres. Cannon about my feelings on being the
senior companion and about feeling trunky and he told me to just serve my
companions and not to beat myself up about being trunky, just to keep going, so
I feel happy!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On New Year’s Eve we had to be in my 9 and it wasn’t
eventful at all, so it was a very chill New Year’s Eve. We just visited with members.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Church was fine on Sunday, we were just really tired because
we had to get up at 5:30 am to get ready for the day. Something that made me laugh was one of our
investigators went to the wrong ward and bore his testimony during sacrament
meeting. Afterwards he called us and
said that when he had gone up to bear his testimony and looked out into the
congregation, he realized he didn’t recognize anyone. We laughed so hard!<o:p></o:p></div>

Monday & Tuesday were my favorite part of last week
because we basically just relaxed and talked on Monday, and then on Tuesday we
sat home and updated our records for the whole day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My least favorite day was Thursday, New Year’s Day, because
it was cold and we ended up moving someone the whole time until we had another
appointment. We were exhausted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our investigators are doing well and we have another one who
is ready to set a baptismal date. We do
have one investigator that has gone MIA, nobody knows where he is. Well, one of our investigators who was going
to get baptized this week, is going to get baptized next week. This week I am looking forward to our
investigator Daliee’s baptism. <u>Please
pray that she can be strong</u> enough to make it to her baptismal day! Her uncle will be baptizing her. We just get the program ready and then the
ward helps us out with the rest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think I go to the temple on February 26, but I haven’t
verified that yet. Basically when we go
to the temple it is like for the whole day.
We do a session and then come back and have dinner, a devotional and
then bear our testimonies and then go back to our areas. Then we basically have three days left to do
missionary work. On Monday we get picked
up by the transfer van and dropped off at the mission home or somewhere else. According to Pres. Cannon, there are 12
missionaries going home. I know two of
the elders who are going on my same flight.
One was my Zone leader and the other one is currently the AP.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Something that really touched me today is Sis. Wright shared
with me that Heavenly Father answered her prayers and I asked her how He had
answered her prayer. She said because

I loved talking to you guys on Christmas day.<br />
<br />
On Christmas day after Skyping we stayed at the Branch President’s house and he made us dinner and we played dominoes. Afterwards we took a couple of pictures in the park.<br />
<br />
I am not sure what we are going to do for P-day, Elder Schlub and his companion are in charge.<br />
<br />
I have no idea what we are supposed to do for the New Year, hopefully we will find out soon.<br />
<br />
Besides the phone call, my favorite part of last week was Tuesday because we went Christmas caroling as a district to the less active members in our ward.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSX_YX__pTWkOGzdHUROMhf9ydjA2axnm4iw95J82wzmig0_cTQLp6xJLSvPY0LZCEDgX2kHhQLDihZz7Dq-aIgG7S9qZBQXqtVnMYQMpI3KVnwqOeAiF8zqgotMYfQmWdST9-PBW51Q0-/s1600/Christmas+2014+companions.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSX_YX__pTWkOGzdHUROMhf9ydjA2axnm4iw95J82wzmig0_cTQLp6xJLSvPY0LZCEDgX2kHhQLDihZz7Dq-aIgG7S9qZBQXqtVnMYQMpI3KVnwqOeAiF8zqgotMYfQmWdST9-PBW51Q0-/s1600/Christmas+2014+companions.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a>Least favorite day of last week was Saturday because it seemed like people were in bad moods.<br />
Something that made me laugh was I literally got stuck in the mud while trying to maneuver my way across a muddy field to get to a house. So now my boots are completely covered in mud.<br />
<br />
Something that really touched me was our investigator Antonio’s daughter Jordan sang Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas day. He showed us a recording of it and it was so cute! <br />
<br />
Our other investigator, Kevin, is good. He has an interview with our mission president this next Sunday. Everyone is progressing nicely and we go two more investigators, so we are being kept busy.<br />
<br />
Truth be told I hate being senior companion. I don’t want to remember struggling my last two months in the mission. (Funny thing that just came to my mind…the Saviors last days were not his favorite either, yet he fulfilled his mission. I just have to endure.)<br />
<br />
Well, I gotta go.<br />
<br />
Love ya!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The ward Christmas party was really fun, there were a tone of people there too; every ward had a party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am called boss now because I am the senior companion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I am finally getting over my cold, but now I am starting to get a sore throat, I can’t win. I actually got cough drops today and Kleenex, so I should be covered.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ok, so something really cute that happened was with our new investigators daughter Jordan who is 4. We showed her a picture of Jesus and asked her if she knew who it was. She said no, so we told her it was Jesus. She replied, “Jesus!” and hugged the photo of him. It was so stinkin’ cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Something that made me laugh is during Zone conference we had a white elephant and one of the zone leaders, Elder Savage, opened his gift and he got Eeyore slippers, but then someone stole them. So he opened another gift and it was another pair of slippers. So, he immediately put them on his feet so no one could steal them. It was hysterical! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We have a baptismal date set for January 17th for a guy named Cameron who already knows a lot and just needs to be taught the lessons; he is golden. The Lord has really blessed us a lot this transfer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Last week I struggled with not being depressed. I actually talked to Heavenly Father today and it made me feel a lot better. I seem to be having longer conversations with him lately. He is sending me beautiful mornings to make up for the hard days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My favorite part of last week was Zone conference because we had a lot of musical numbers, and sang Christmas songs, and just had fun. I sang a solo during Zone Conference, Away in a Manger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I enjoy every story I read each day and the ornaments, they really help me to reflect on things better about the meaning of Christmas and things I am going to change about me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My least favorite part of last week was Saturday. It was pouring rain and cold, and we had two service projects. We had not dinner because the family forgot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have no idea who we will be eating Christmas dinner with because 9 families want us to come over that day, so we will see.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gotta go...</div>
<div>
Love ya!</div>

Zone meeting was really good. We talked about what is a good
lesson and about listening to our investigators. Speaking of investigator, they are doing
really well. We have two baptismal
dates for January 10<sup>th</sup> and two new investigators! The investigators were pretty much given to
us from God. They actually came up to us
and asked if they could take the missionary lessons. It was awesome!<o:p></o:p></div>

talking to Sis. Wright about a scary movie and suddenly our car completely
slows down to going 10 miles per mile. so we basically inched our way back
home...I was laughing so hard. Then one time my companion decided to scare me
so she jumps out around a corner and I jump back and fall on my bum. She was
laughing so hard at my reaction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Thanksgiving was low key for us. I think the only new food I had on Thanksgiving was green bean casserole. My favorite part of last week was definitely Thanksgiving. We listened to Christmas music and just had a good time. Our weather was nice for Thanksgiving, but now it is snowing. I am doing my best to stay warm.<br />
<br />
Church was really mellow, which was nice for a change; no meetings whatsoever. <br />
<br />

<br />
Something that I am looking forward to this week, well not really looking forward to, but I can’t wait for transfers this coming Saturday. Please pray that me and my companion stay together for at least one more transfer.<br />
<br />
Something that made me laugh was getting stuck in the mud with my flat soled shoes. I had decided not to wear my boots because it looked like a nice day…wrong! It had rained, so when I got out of the car to head into an appointment I literally sank into the mud and had a fun time trying to even walk in<br />
<br />
Sis Wright and I are doing fine. We laugh a lot and talk about everything. The district is doing fine too, just as quirky and fun as can be. So half our investigators are doing well and keeping their commitments, the other ones are getting slammed with trials, but they are doing well.<br />
<br />
I didn’t get the CD you sent, but I did get the package with the miniature Christmas tree. I absolutely love it!<br />
<br />
Have you heard “He is the Gift”? It’s an awesome Christmas video, you should watch it. It’s on Christmas.mormon.org. Encourage everyone to share it.<br />
<br />
The rest of our p-day we are shopping, cleaning and doing a white elephant gift with the district around 3:30 at the church. We have a dinner appointment today at 5:30. I have no idea what I will get for the white elephant gift.<br />
<br />
Gotta go,<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Sis. Donner<br />

We had district meeting on Tuesday and then Zone Conference on Wednesday
and then had a break before going to the Nashville Tribute concert which was
amazing! All of our investigators came;
even a less active who was a DNC came.

concert was a lot of fun!<o:p></o:p></div>

This week flew by so fast that I have not had a chance to think

made me laugh is on Friday we were visiting a member and her kid locked her out

Hey Mom,<br />
<br />

Sis. Wright sang happy birthday to me, so that was<br />
awesome. I opened the package you sent, and I love everything! Thank you so much! Sis. Wright and I are doing great! The district is fine. We are going to play hide and seek for my b-day. Lol<br />
<br />
YES, IT SNOWED A LOT! According to everyone that lives here, it never snows this early.<br />
<br />
So, hahaha, our week was funny, interesting, and really cold. It was -7 degrees yesterday morning, and we had a meeting. The weather has been in the 30’s or below. We have tried to be as careful as possible when driving because the roads here are completely covered in ice. I will just tell you now; I have slipped in the ice 3 times already. We've had some crazy experience in the snow.<br />
<br />
First, we accidentally drove the car into a small ditch. It was pretty funny and embarrassing, all at the same time. LOL Luckily some member was close by and helped us get out. The second thing that happened in the snow happened that very same day when we. When we got home we thought we were just going to be able to go inside. Nope! The back truck wouldn't close, so it took us till 12am to close it. We succeeded only after we un-melted the lock to the truck that has frozen. Needless to say, we were exhausted. So that happened Saturday night, so on Sunday I was sleepy. During one of the talks, the power went out for the rest of the meeting. LOL it was so funny. The rest of the speakers did fine just speaking louder without the microphone.<br />
<br />
Our investigators are doing well. Dustin in the newest one and he is slowing progressing. He said the prayer the first time we asked him.<br />
<br />
So my least favorite day was Friday because it snowed. We had to spend four hours just shoveling a pathway so we could get out. Not FUN!<br />
<br />
My favorite part of last week was Saturday, minus the evening, because we were able to see a DNC (Do Not Contact) person who was really nice and let us in. This area is just awesome.<br />
<br />
So I told you all of the funny moments except yesterday in ward council. Sis. Wright announced, “It’s Sis. Donner’s birthday tomorrow.” I nearly died.<br />
<br />
That has been my week!<br />
<br />
Love Ya!<br />
<br />
Sis. Donner<br />

Side note: A member took the time to send a video and picture of Nicki and wrote, “She is getting lots of love! The missionaries are having cake and playing games at the church and then for FHE tonight for the singles branch we are celebrating with her by having a cake. She is well loved!”<br />

<br />
<br />
I got the stamps and the package, thank you so much.<br />
It is really cold in the mornings and it is rumored that Thursday we should be getting some snow.<br />
<br />
What I meant when I said that I needed an adapter for my camera was that I needed an SD card reader, but thanks for the other stuff you sent.<br />
<br />
I love all the wards I am in; they are all pretty big. We actually have a couple of investigators. James who is 18 and is golden. Then there is Kevin who knows everything we teach is true, but has a WOW problem. Then we have Dustin who seems to want to learn more. So those are just a few.<br />
<br />
Sis. Wright and I are just fine. I think she is one of my favorite companions. She doesn’t get mad easily or impatient. She loves taking pictures and likes having fun. She remembers small details I tell her and she is always smiling. I sent a picture of me and Sis. Wright.<br />
<br />
So, I don’t think there was a bad part of last week, hahaha, well, except yesterday because my legs were really sore from a service project we did on Saturday. I basically had a really restless night and a really bad dream, but I did stay awake for all three sacraments, I am just really hungry during them.<br />
<br />
Something that made me laugh happened yesterday when we were coming out of our dinner appointment. It is pitch black outside and I couldn’t see a thing, so I am trying to be as careful as possible, but I ended up stumbling into a dark hole. I had to laugh at myself.<br />
<br />
Something that touched my spirit is how wonderful this district works together and accepts everyone.<br />
<br />
I am actually not having too many struggles here, I guess the one struggle is not being trunky. I did receive my travel papers and I was hoping I wouldn’t have to fly home…I get air sick.<br />
<br />
I will email you as soon as I know when the Christmas call will happen and what to do. Hahaha It will be really weird seeing everyone and knowing I will have two month left after Christmas.<br />

This week has been totally awesome and exhausting. We had three service projects this week raking up leaves and it was a blast!<br />
<br />
I think my favorite day of this week was Saturday, even though it rained all stinkin’ day, we still had fun tracting. First we had Super Saturday with the relief society and then we went on a tracting blitz with the district.<br />

My least favorite day was yesterday, Sunday, because we got up at 5 in the morning even though our phone said it was 6. We attend all three wards Sacraments, but we leave early to go visit people.<br />
<br />
A lot of funny things happened this week. One, I almost slipped in a puddle, but I caught myself. Two, while role playing one of the elders pretended to be an older lady and in the role play they completely forgot the name of the older lady and said a differ name. This district is going to be fun. There are 11 missionaries in our district and another set of sisters.<br />
<br />
Something spiritual that happened was Sis. Wright was able to answer on of the questions I had on the atonement and she explained it in a really awesome way. I had been told in previous priesthood blessing to study the atonement, and I never really knew why.<br />

Ok, about my new companion, She is 22 and has already graduated from BYU. She is paying for her own mission. She is the fifth of 8 kids. She wants to be strictly obedient which is awesome! She knows how to dance and she loves music just like me. She is very easy to get along with and she is very creative.<br />
<br />
It’s weird to know that I only have 5 months left and that I will be turning 21 soon. I have no idea what I want for my b-day.<br />
<br />
Gotta go,<br />

<b>October 20th</b><br />
<br />
My week in one word was Blah! I was sick two days in a row. My cold is so-so. It is there, but it is to the point I can just ignore it. My headaches are caused from the wind, and because it is cold in the morning and hot during the afternoon.<br />
<br />
The talk I gave last week was on the Holy Ghost. I can talk clearly now, but I still can’t look up for that long. I was lightheaded the whole time because I wasn’t feeling well.<br />
<br />
I have been struggling this week with not being discouraged and not being busy and trying to understand my role right now, so at church yesterday and throughout the day I was asked to say the prayer like 5 times. The sacrament talks that were given were about spiritual strength and physical strength, so that was awesome. Another awesome thing we were able to do last night was go to a fireside where Joseph Smith’s great, great, great, great granddaughter spoke. It was really cool and informative.<br />
<br />
My least favorite part of last week was Wednesday because I was really sick. I was not a happy camper. We had a district meeting and our interview was that day. My interview with President was good. We talked about which person in the book of Mormon I admire most, and I said Ammon<br />
My favorite part of last week was Thursday, we pretty much had a chill day and visited members.<br />
Something that made me laugh this week was a little girl named Lauren was eating her snack and then looked over at me, and then came over and started feeding me her snack. lol<br />
<br />
Our investigator Liz is great! We did not get to teach her last week, and this week we actually get to teach her at her house, so that is awesome.<br />
<br />
We have transfer calls this weekend on Saturday, and Trunk or Treat to look forward to for next week.<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />
<br />
Love ya,<br />
Sis. Donner<br />

This whole week was so-so. Basically nobody was home.<br />
<br />
My least favorite day of the week was Wednesday because I had a horrible headache, it lasted the whole day, so we stayed home. Sis. Fonua actually took care of me and scolded me for not telling her sooner.<br />
<br />
Now I have caught a cold, so I am dealing with that. I am staying away from the shoes that caused my heel to bleed, which is almost healed up, but there is a nice little scar.<br />
<br />
Our investigator Liz is 16, she goes to seminary and is just amazing! She knows the church is true and reads and prays every day. She is the perfect example of a golden investigator.<br />
<br />
There were three things that made me laugh this week. First, when Sis. Fonua threw the phone after we were called to speak in church on Sunday, which went well. Second, I was trying to light the candle you sent me and kept burning myself, which I love by-the-way. And third was on Friday for zone meeting we had 20 pizzas ordered and only three were left, so the next day we had pizza for dinner. I thought I was going to be sick.<br />
<br />
Favorite part of this past week was Saturday because so many unexpected things happened. They we good unexpected things, such as a member taking us out for milk shakes.<br />
<br />
Something that really touched me this week is the topic we were given to speak on in sacrament was the gift of the Holy Ghost. You know me and writing, I ain’t good at it. Surprisingly enough, the zone leaders spoke on the Holy Ghost during our zone training meeting which really helped me to know what to talk about. So church yesterday was good except for me speaking. I was lightheaded the whole time I was speaking. Thankfully though, the spirit helped me speak slowly and clearly. Everyone in the ward apparently thought it was a good talk.<br />
<br />
Our plans for today are to go shopping. After that, I don’t know what we will do. We have interviews with the mission President this Wednesday.<br />
<br />
I don’t think I need anything.<br />

OK so sorry, I thought we wouldn’t be able to be on today.<br />
<br />
Anyways, this week was pretty mellow. Meet the Mormons was a great movie, I highly recommend it!<br />
<br />
On Wednesday I was trying to rinse out containers a family used. Well, their youngest daughter (age 5) wanted to help too, so she took the hose, and instead of spraying water on the containers, she got me! It was pretty funny!<br />
<br />
My least favorite part of last week was Thursday because while walking, one of my shoes decided to cut into the back of my ankle. When I finally looked back, the whole back of my shoe was covered in blood…so that was fun.<br />
<br />
My favorite part of this week was of course conference. It answered questions I had long since forgotten, like I had had a question on how the whole picking the new prophet worked. I was really touched when Elder Godyo spoke. His comment on reading his patriarchal blessing and how he asked himself if he continued to do things he was currently doing, would it help him receive the promised blessings I have been asking myself that same question recently, so his talk really helped me to understand what I need to do.<br />
<br />
One thing that was awesome this week was on Saturday, the young adult Kari that we had taught two lessons, was baptized during the break time between sessions of conference. It was really awesome to see!<br />
<br />
During the priesthood session of conference we got to go over to the mission home, have ice cream, and hand out. When President Cannon came home we were all downstairs on the couch, so we decided to pretend we were sleeping on the couch. When Pres. Cannon came down the stairs he saw us all sleeping and just stood there. Then we all popped up and started laughing. He looked relieved.<br />
<br />
I haven’t received the package yet, hopefully this week I will.<br />
<br />
This is probably the most I have ever written. Lol<br />

My week was pretty average. I did get more sleep this week. Thank goodness! I did pick up the probiotics and they do help. <br />

I loved all the letters I received, it really helped with all the things I have been thinking about.<br />
<br />
I did receive Kasie’s video message. Oh my goodness, that was so sweet of her!<br />
<br />
Saturday was my favorite part of last week because of the Women’s Broadcast. I loved the talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I love that he talked about living the gospel joyfully and that he liked each of us to different temples.<br />
<br />

<br />
Friday we had district meeting and the elders were driving us back home from the meeting. I don’t know why, but our zone leaders were in rare form that day. Everything we did was irritating them and they were teasingly threatening us every minute. Lol That made me laugh.<br />
<br />
Sis. Fonua and I are doing well. Both our district and zone are fine.<br />
<br />
Church yesterday was pretty good. I actually helped with the lesson in Relief Society and I actually didn’t shake when speaking. I was asked to share a story about great grandma.<br />
<br />
For conference we are staying in our house and watching it.<br />
<br />
Oh, real quick, the Family History Center will be closed next Monday due to some upgrading of the computers, so no emails next week.<br />
<br />
OK, I gotta go. <br />
<br />
Love YA!<br />

whole day, but I did stay awake in church.
Church seemed to last so long. I’m
not sure what was causing me to be sick, but I was sweating a lot and had a
stomach ache. Cris, the lady who was
baptized last Saturday, enjoys being a member.
She is getting to meet a lot of new people.<o:p></o:p></div>

Something that touched my spirit this week was receiving the
letter from home, it was the perfect time to receive it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Sis. Fonua made me laugh this week when she tried to get me
back for scaring her. This week she
succeeded in scaring me twice, once when she had crouched down by the wall and
the second times was when she popped out when I was coming out of the
bathroom. I love Sis. Fonua, we are doing
great!<o:p></o:p></div>

Sis Fonua and I are staying companions, which isn’t bad, I just need to get to know her a little better. Basically, the whole district is staying the same. </div>

Cris’ baptism was interesting to the least. Anything that could go wrong, did. There was a baptism in front of ours that went over, so we had to wait with everyone that came to support Cris, and wait for the other people to leave. Then a video we were going to show wasn’t working, so one of our Zone leaders saved the day. Overall it was a good baptism. She was so happy!</div>

So my favorite part of last week was the Baptism day! It was so awesome to finally see someone I taught get baptized.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
My least favorite day was Friday because I was sick and I had a headache that just wouldn't leave.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Something that touched me spiritually is I had been praying the night before the transfer calls. For me this had been a really hard transfer, and I basically ask to be moved, but I asked that if I were to stay that I would understand why. Well today when thinking about why, I realized that I truly needed to get to know Sis. Fonua. So basically Heavenly Father answered my prayer by giving me a different perspective.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
So a couple of things made me laugh this week. Top one is yesterday, it was the primary program for our ward. The little kids were doing all sorts of cute things, but there was one little boy in front of us that wouldn’t stop making faces at us. It was just too funny. The second funny thing is on our way home yesterday, Sis. Fonua hadn’t been watching where she was walking and walked right into a swarm of bugs, it was really funny watching her freak out swatting the flies. Third, Elder James was being a stinker again, so when shaking his hand I squeezed it hard. LOL He was a bit surprised.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Physically I am doing much better, just can’t stretch much. Emotionally I am doing much better too.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
This week I am looking forward to the ward talent show on Friday, it should be fun.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Yes, I did get the chocolate and it is almost gone.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Well, I gotta go! Love ya!</div>

Zone conference on Tuesday was so amazing. We had Elder Godoy, who is from Brazil and
one of the general authorities speak to us.
He was so funny and so much fun to hear speak. I felt like all the things talked about were
all for me to hear. I didn’t get a
chance to talk to my mission president.<o:p></o:p></div>
