Oh my. This had been a great//crazy week! So this was my first week in Thompson Station! Sister Cox is my new companion. She is from Orderville, Utah! She grew up on a ranch and is a sweet girl. We came out at the same time, so we're both just getting out of training and figuring out the area! We have one investigator.... so we do a lot of tracting. Which I don't think is the most productive thing to do! But we have to find people some how! Even if it is 16 degree's outside! I never knew Super Bowl Sunday would be so hard... haha we ran into a couple drunk people... haha no one let us in! So we just went to members homes! It was a blow out anyways so we just shared a message instead! Also on Friday night we had a broad cast and L. Tom Perry spoke. IT WAS AMAZING! Guess what it was all about? Yup! Missionary work! It was for all the leaders in the church. He said that the time for missionary work right now is just as important as the restoration or the coming forth of the Book of Mormon!! Isn't that amazing?! He said D&C 88:73 is being brought to pass right now. Also D&C 44:1-5! I can't even explain how amazing. He said "There is an urgency in hastening the work!"
Also on Saturday Sister Hacker got baptized and a little boy who was 9, Isaac!! It was an amazing experience. I loved being apart of it! I am so blessed to be in such a great area already!! I pray daily for you all! Know that the atonement covers everything:)
Love, Sister Gates:)
Ehhh not the best... but Super Bowl Sunday! When everyone rejects you and you are out in the pouring rain!! Haha love missionary work:)
Driving by and Turkey's run right in front of us! I tried to hop out to get a picture, but this is the best i could do! I thought Dad would like this!!
Sister Hacker!! Sister Oldham and Sister Cotton tracked into her and so they came back for the baptism too!!
Brother Hacker got to baptized his wife Sister Hacker:) Very spiritual!!
Isaac, Sister Cox, and I:)
Haha this is something Macey would do... she would probably wear it to school though!!
Hahah so.... someone in Thompson Station gave the Sister's this work out suit! It sure makes you sweat!! Pretty cute huh?;)
This is the Kay family! They have a daughte serving in Beaver, Utah! Haha she is part of the St. George mission! LOVE them:)
