HI FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!

How are you?! This week has been CRAZY!!!! hahah so we are now in a trio with Sister Lewis (whom I love to bits!!!) and covering two wards! Ang Mo Kio still and Toa Payoh now! It’s CRAZY!!! haha exchanges with all the sisters and keeping up with both areas has been hard, but we have seen a lot of miracles! Last Monday we had an AWESOME lesson in FHE! We did the scripture chase mom gave me, and they loved It! We went around the room and everyone shared something that they learned about the resurrection of Christ and bore testimony; it was a great experience!

Then we played the tie game which was HILARIOUS!!!! You send two ties around the circle... 1st you tie one knot only. 2nd one you tie 2 knots, but the person who gets caught with both ties has to do something embarrassing! We had a lot of fun with that! People ages 25-65 :) and it was great! The next day we had zone meeting! Which the zone leaders had us help plan again and it went really well! We played a fun game that helped us see that we all have trials and obstacles in life; but through the atonement we can be clean, and given second chances! We watched the talk ‘his grace is sufficient’ by Brad Wilcox and then Sister Romney and I gave training on Love and Christ like attributes! It was amazing how strong the spirit was in this meeting! You could tell that it was needed for all the missionaries! And I know that it helped me a lot! Jesus Christ’s atonement is sufficient to carry us... in this life we are not earning Heaven... we are Practicing for it! We are not alone!!! EVER! What comfort this brings! :) We were able to meet with I. and he has been doing really well!! He has been coming to church, and preparing for baptism! We are really excited!! I was able to go on exchanges with the Woodlands/3rd ward sister (companionship over 2 wards) and it was nice to see how hard they are working, and how obedient they are trying to be! They are having a hard time, but doing so well! Sister Proffit and Sister Hansen! Literally my favorite people! They are AMAZING! They are beautiful and have such strong desires! We have amazing missionaries in the Singapore mission! We had a successful planning session! Prob. the best one on my mission! And I didn't go crazy after planning for both areas!! :) We had a huge miracle!!! We went to go heart attack the Chen family in AMK ward, and we sat down at a bench to put it all together so it would be faster! We ended up talking to the guy who was coming out of his apartment! We talked to him, and he is Christian! We got his name and number and he wants to meet with us! IT WAS A TOTAL MIRACLE!!! We had gotten lost trying to find their house, and if we hadn't been there at that time, we wouldn't have met him! I think that everything happens for a reason! He said that as well! :)

We also went to a baptism for the AMK ward with L! He is so cool! From Cambodia, and he was so happy after he got baptized! I love when people are able to make that decision to come unto Christ and they find utter and complete joy in it! :) Church was CRAZY busy! We had to go between two different chapels and were exhausted by the end of the day! BUT! It was great! We had several meetings, and got to know both wards better and the church meetings were soooo good! :) Sorry this email is crazy! My thoughts are everywhere! It's not easy to be disciple of Christ, BUT! It’s totally worth it! We have much to be grateful for and Christ has given us so much! I pray you all realize how much I love you!!!! But more importantly how much God loves you!!! WE are all in this together!!! Never forget it!!! Keep on keeping on!!! <3

Love
Eternally

OWLE FOREVER!!!!!!
