Sergeant Sound

Hey everyone, it's Sargent sound here! My little helpers are the boom brothers. Also on our MTM Fam we have 4 Sisters working on the stage and 4 Elders helping out with the projectors and screens. Everything is coming together piece by piece. We had a dress rehearsal with lots of real people invited. It went better than I thought, but I'm still missing some equipment. Hopefully I'll be getting these soon though. 

There was a baptism that occurred within the zone. We invited someone we are teaching to it. I don't speak much Spanish, but the Spirit was super strong.

My Time is Now

Missionary Leadership Council/ Zone Conference; 

We did a mission tour in the CDNM with Elder Gifford Nielson. We were asked to do a lot to prepare for our conference with him, and it was really useful to come so ready. I also brought a lot of questions with me. Elder and Sister Nielson spoke super profoundly, boldly, and intellectually. I was really impressed by them. One of the questions that I took with me was, "How can I build a closer relationship with my family?" I feel like there's a slight disconnection with my family recently, and I want to get to grow a better connection with them. On February 15th, at about 11am, Elder Nielson was going to give us a training. Before he did so, he told us about a new change that was happening. I seriously thought he was joking for the longest time, and that what he was saying was all part of his training. It turns out he was serious. Elder Nielson is on the board of missionary work. At 10am that day, they came out with an announcement that we can now communicate with or families on or weekly preparation day. I looked at my phone, and to my surprise, my mom emailed me less than an hour after the new change came out. Originally, the board presented the idea to the first presidency about having a 30 min limit on taking to our families. President Nelson said, "Why would we put a time limit on our missionaries? Don't we trust them?" Although one of Elder Nielson's training was replaces by a while hour of us talking about this new change, I'm grateful for the chance we had to hear about this new thing straight from him. I know my time for being our here is counting down, but I think this new change is pretty neat.

Was going to write something, but then I just got super busy with mtm. Lovey'all!

Contacting home; 

I think I'm ahead of the game on this. On Tuesday, some other missionaries contacted our mission president for me to email home. Don't worry, nothing bad happened, they just really wanted a picture of me to go on a PowerPoint that literally thousands of people will see. I'm famous, but telling you. Anyways, like I said, Elder Nielson was there and gave us a lot of insight on the background of all of this. It's something that has been a long process for it to make or to the light where our was released. I'm grateful that the brethren out so much trust in us. Lots of missionaries will abuse it, but a lot will use it to lift their families and grow closer to them. Regardless of this announcement, I would've found a way to talk to my family anyways, I've always found different ways in the past through the Lord's help (went home, had a concussion, needed a photo, members sending pictures home, people finding my family through Facebook, etc).

Never Home

This week has been pretty good! I feel like most of my time goes to being with the #MTM Fam (Meet the Missionaries missionaries).

MTM;

I slept over at the Mission Home, for the first time, and it was a blast!! The five of us Sisters were able to stay the night there so we could wake-up at the crack of dawn and take beautiful pictures of them! We went over to Boulder and it was an adventure! Our AP, Elder Cruz (who came out with me), drove the transfer van and all the younger missionaries crammed in there and had a party! We talked about the past, and it was so weird to be the only older sister missionary out of every one. Sister Savage keeps telling everyone in the cast that I'm in-charge, and it's pretty funny. For the most part, I blocked everything/ told everyone where to go and where they need to stand and sit. 

We have practice today for about 3 or 4 hours, so I don't have much time to do a lot of P-Day activities, but it's okay, I love being apart of productions, no matter how much sleep and time that I end up losing.

Friday night to Saturday night we went on an exchange. I cover the sisters over in the City Park ward, which is super exciting! Sister Pease and I went over there with Sister Madsen, and Sister Sauls and Sister Suarez joined my companion in the Cotton Creek Ward. It felt sooooooo good to be back! The city is, without a doubt, my favorite area! I was able to stop-by this returning member family, with an unbaptized child, and introduce them to the sister that is in that ward. They are planning to teach her now! We got stuck in the snow for about 20 minutes. We ate at the typical Saturday night dinner in the City/ this sketchy, cheap, and super gross Chinese place, but it was fun! Overall, we had an adventure on exchanges!

Sunday was my first full day working in my area! It was also the first time in a while that I've been able to do at least some companionship study. It's been a crazy week!

I know I'm probably missing a lot of things or information, but this is all I've got for now. Email me if any of you beauties need anything! :)

Shout-outs;

-The day we went to Boulder to take pictures, we ate breakfast at IHOP, without fail, I always to there for each of my productions!

-Sister Savage got onto me when she saw I had slightly wet hair and I was going to go outside, early in the morning, with cold weather. 

-I got pumpkins that grow for Halloween, both of my companions found them at different times and put them in a bucket of water.
