David Archuleta speaks to TNM! :)

Hey y'all!

Yup! We had a mission conference yesterday and it was so awesome! Yeah I was sitting like 20 feet away from him! :) It was like that time when I saw him at the baptistry of the temple! That was crazy! :) Anyway, he basically just did a question and answer thing the whole time; he didn't prepare anything and it was so amazing! Such a spiritual meeting! Also, he sang the song "Glorious" that is at the end of "Meet the Mormons". Its interesting because he told us the story behind recording that for the movie. He said that he was near the end of his mission and his mission president called him in and asked him if he wanted to record the song for the movie that they were making and he said yes and even though he only had a few weeks left they didn't want to wait to record it. So he said that he recorded it with his missionary tag on. I seriously thought that was so cool. So, when you see the movie, that song you hear was being sung by Elder Archuleta! :) That was way cool. He also sang "Hark All Ye Nations" and "I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus" - that one was incredible! :) 

Also we took a Christmas photo of our whole mission and David Archuleta was in it! :) Sweet! :)

This week was pretty good...and don't worry I have more to say from this week! :) 

We went to this member's house for dinner and it was so funny because they planned to feed us breakfast for it and they were going to make pancakes - but they realized they didn't have any pancake mix! Yikes! So they were looking in the pantry and found a ziploc back of what looked like pancake mix. So there was this discussion about what it was and they decided to try using it and see if it was pancake mix. Yeah it wasn't. But the pancake type things they made were like crepe's pretty much and were actually really good. We still don't know what we ate though so that's a little bit awko taco.

There were some crazy storms going on on Monday. There were tornado warnings! Which really doesn't mean much because they do that all the time and it never happens. But yeah it was pretty much just a crazy lightening storm - like lightening was going across the whole sky!!! It was so cool!!! 

We had interviews with President this week and that was AMAZING!! Interviews are seriously the best thing ever! 

Then we went and saw Renee and had a super spiritual lesson with her. We taught her the plan of salvation and pretty much ended up teaching her the gospel of Jesus Christ and talked about a baptism date with her. She wanted to set it like 2 years from now or something because she felt like she had to know everything. We talked to her about faith and how she doesn't have to know everything and whatnot and she set it for April 6. It's far away but if that's what she wants then so be it! (And maybe after she comes to church and after she learns more she'll want to get baptized sooner). I can understand her leeriness though. She said she really likes our teachings so far and she thinks it's where she's going to go, but I guess that has happened before. She was going to another church previously and she thought it was really great and she thought it was right and she got baptized and then she started to see like corruption and stuff and see didn't like some of the teachings. So now, she just doesn't want to jump in because she doesn't want to make that same mistake again. She'll get baptized eventually, I have no doubt.

Saturday evening the ward had a fall festival and that was so much fun. We judged the chili cook off which was so good. The Elders were supposed to do it but they were being slow coming so we did it! :) Anyway, that has nothing to do with anything but.....yea

Actually there's pretty much nothing else to say because...well yeah there's really nothing else to say! I hope y'all have a great week! 

Love,

Sister Myers
