Lake Michigan is still on Fire!!

SISTER ZELBY!!

I love the missionaries in Wisconsin!!

It is THE BEST PLACE TO SERVE. I'm so grateful.

I am still me…but I have changed so much!

I have such a clearer perspective on life! 

& I am learning the best life skills ever!!

I have learned so much about allowing the Atonement to work in my life. 

The Lord really does work with imperfect tools... but when I have confidence in Him as I walk into a lesson... the words really do come! It's the most incredible thing. I have never been so close to the spirit! It really does tell you all things that you should do.

This week when Sister Westra left-it was CRAZY!

I had no idea where to start- the spirit was able to guide me and to who we should see and how to keep the Fire of Lake Michigan alive!

I'm done with my 12 weeks of training and am now in charge of this area.

Sister Zebley is SO great! We basically made sure she met everyone in the ward last week. A lot of people to keep track of- but now she knows faces. I wish I had time to tell you about all of the lessons we have been teaching. So many classy and well-educated people!

I absolutely love Sister Zebley. We needed to be companions. We taught really well together right from Day 1!  We had a powerful lesson at Bishop Miller's home last night. We taught the Restoration to a recent convert's father.

He said, "Thank you. You know, I’ve never read the Book of Mormon before!"

So we challenged him to read from the Book of Mormon for 10 min. everyday…

Ok......... THAT NUTRIBULLET ROCKS!!!!

We have a smoothie every single morning- no joke!

I'm also jogging in the mornings and my heath-o-meter has skyrocketed!

Your letters last week were so touching. I printed them out and read them all week. Thank you SO much!

- ahH! This computer is being really difficult! Ugh!! The keyboard is insane-o.

I will have to write a better email to you in 6 days!

HAVE THE BEST ADVENTURE EVER!!!!

Yea!! for REAL fun! 

Love,

Sister Osmond 

PS: I received that package from Dad! Best. Thing. Ever. 

We listened to the cd last night after planning and I love those shoes!!!! :)

i love you more than you will ever know

Your emails are exactly what I needed to hear this week and last. 

Sending hugs and kisses your way.... a very long way! hahaha 

Have fun on your trip & take lots of pictures!
