Sister Tanner Update

It has been a great week! We have been having a few lesson opportunities while we are out tracking!! Its been great! I love it so much! It is hard at times but all that you need to do is push through it and all will work out!! Also many people don't like how we are out when its so dark outside when we are tracking they always tell us many reasons why we shouldn't be out at 7 at night....we are careful where we go so don't worry! :) 

Halloween was this week! we had a Halloween party on Wednesday with the ward! it was great! There were less actives, members and non members there. It was a great turn out! Since it was a costume party we got permission from President Weaver to dress up like pioneer missionaries!! It was great! The lady that was in charge of it (Sister Bartlett) had dresses and bonnets that we used! Many people loved that we could come and that we dressed up!!

 

On Halloween since missionaries are not allowed to be out tracking and doing things since there are many people that dress up like missionaries and do things that are not good.. all of us missionaries in each zone had a zone party. We all played games and had a great time.

Also we got to watch Ephriam's Rescue!! It was way good!! I am so glad that I got to watch it and that I didn't have to wait until I got home to do so!

 What a powerful movie and story that it is! The party took all night and we got home just in time for curfew. 

We have a few service opportunities of service that we have been able to do. We also have been getting referrals from mormon.org to go and check up on and one of them happened to be one that we already have been teaching! Crazy how it all works. 

Our ward is wanting to do things that they can to help hasten the work of the Lord. Its so great that they want to do that. There are less actives that have been coming back to church and its so great to see all of this happening! 

Sunday was another great day like they all are. There are many people who have been through so much and they have great testimonies! 

God works in amazing ways....we were headed out to visit a less active and we found this lost dog walking around. We were not sure what to do but we decided to go and see the less actives and ask them about it (the dog) and they invited us in and talked with us and they were excited that we came...They said that they are going to start coming to our ward now. Also the bishop called when we were there and scheduled an interview with the daughter!!! And all of this there reactivation is pretty much all because of a dog! Well of course it's all of the Lord's doing! :) 

Just yesterday we had a missionary fireside that half of the WA TAC missionaries sang for a stake. It was an amazing experience.  I love it so much! I love to sing! Always sing praises unto the Lord!! :) 

I love this gospel and all things that are in it. Times are tough but if we all work together all will be for the best! This gospel has blessed my life and I am so grateful for everyone that has helped me along the way to where I am at today! so glad that I am not alone on the path back to my Heavenly Father. I know that He truly does love us and wants us to go back to Him. He would not have put us on this earth if He didn't want us to be like Him  and receive all of the blessing that He has! I love all of you and want all of you to know that the work is hastening! I love it!  

Love Sister Tanner
