Last week...

Wed-we taught lesson 1 about the restoration and it was great, at least full fo the spirit. I quoted first vision in spanish perfect and I felt so good. And from the lesson we asked if she knew anyone we could share this message withand she referred us to her neighbor and called them to see if we could come over and sing to them, cuz she said we sing like angels. Then we taught part of lesson one & lesson two. As it turns out the father is a less-active member for about 12 years. ROCK ON!!! and they've been reading as a family every night since. WHOOP WHOOP

We dropped one of our other gators, or she dropped us. She's got too many different things going on in her cute 'lil 75 yr old head that can't be changed. She thinks we pray to Joseph Smith, which is weird cuz in all our prayers with her we have NOT AT ALL said in the name of Jose Smith, Amen...(COME ON PEOPLE) So it's been an emotional roller coaster to teach her.

Thanks for all your support

P.S. I gave a talk Sunday about missionary work, and if everyone of us bring ONE soul unto Christ how great would be our joy.

In Alli's own words...

ok, I just took a look at my blog and I need to add a lil' spirit to it.

This morning my companion and I studied in Alma 26. We talked about how it applied to us, it was awesome. I know that I have not been through what Ammon and those missionaries have been through. I haven't been stoned or bound or cast into prision. But I've been sick, had a hurt back, ingrown toenails from walking, laughed at, rejected (I can't tell you how many times) and more but I know that the people that I have found and the people that have harkened, will be blessed and seeds have been planted.

I know that this is MY mission. I've been called here and I know there's a few more people that I need to find before my times up. Whether it's in the mountains or under rocks...I'm gonna go diggin for them and hiking for them!
I love this work!!

Release date, since you were wondering...

Alli's official release date is Thursday, June 24th. I can't tell you yet when she will be reporting since the following week is Fast Sunday and the week after that is high council Sunday. (I say bump the high council speakers, but that's just me).
