Valentine's Day Zone Conference! (Februrary 11- February 16 Letter)

Happy Monday :) 

What a week! What a week! It was soo busy. 
We had a lot of great lessons with some of our less actives, some NEW investigators ( both are granddaughters of a less active). We taught them the restoration, and committed them to coming to church. It was so good. The less active has been coming to church for almost three weeks now- in a row:) It is a miracle, and we have been trying to get her to come back to church for months and now she's coming! What a blessing! 

We have also been having many great other lessons as well too with others that we are working with. SO we have been so blessed up here in paradise :) 
We had a Zone Conference  this week on Valentine's day!! It was sooo  much fun! We were spiritually fed, and there was lots of food too ;) yay! so that was great! 
We learned so much on how to be better missionaries and got to hear from our Mission President, President Weston, and his wife. It was such an honor! and it was on a holiday- cherry on top! Ahh. I loved it. All of us missionaries were so grateful for the opportunity to be there and to have learned so much. The spirit was so strong! How blessed are we?! 
I love this.
Since it was Valentines day, we were all given little cards and candy, and cake, etc. We are so taken care off. We even had one our Investigators there too! Her name is Dottie, and she wanted to help feed us so the sister in our ward picked her up and they came and were so excited to see us- we were excited to see them too! Our mission president and his wife met her, other missionaries met her ...soo great! 

Then on Saturday, our ward had  Valentine Dance/party for everybody in the area so like Paradise 1 and 2nd, were all there. We were helping set up and Dottie was there too! It was such a great morning. Then we were able to find a few more people to teach as well. 

Another cool thing, I was able to do this week was to go on exchanges with ....guess who...SIster Housely!  Remember her?? Well, she is one of  the Sister Training Leaders in my area so we were in Paradise together while Sister Dyson, was in Chico with Sister Housely's companion, Sister Lyman. It was so much fun too, it was a great experience being back with my trainer. 
So this week, was really exciting. 
Oh, and then on Sunday we had more people to church! Yay! Investigators, LA's, nonmembers, etc. So many people there. Oh my goodness, the spirit was strong there as well and all the lessons were about listening to the spirit. It was soo good. 
Anyways, my week was so great! 
and since today is preparation day- we are just getting pumped for another week of missionary work. Tonight we have dinner with Michelle and Ashley, mother-daughter, two of our investigators that we are teaching. so we're pretty excited for that. 
I hope you all have had a great week as well and that your able to see miracles come about in your daily lives and know that god loves you! You have a purpose and he knows what is going on with you. 
Remember, pray always! He does answer prayers. I know he does. 
I love you all and hope your all well :) 
Until next week, 

Sister Matchett :)
