Dear Beautiful Family,
It's been another great week. The temperature has dropped and it's been really rainy but "the show must go on." A few days ago Sister Boyd and I were on our bikes headed to an appointment when it started to sprinkle. We stopped to talk to a woman named Sierra and she was on her way to go get lunch with her little boy Ian. She told us she lived in Utah with her husband and that she has a lot of friends who are members.
Around this time it started to pour and she invited us into her home until the rain stopped. We were able to get to know her better and she told us her husband is a member but he hasn't been to church in over a decade. He wasn't on any of our lists so it was a wonderful miracle to have found them. I love "running into people" that way. Just like the lost tribes and how no one knows where they are but our Father in Heaven knows where he led them, it's the same with us. He knows where every broken heart is, every tear that's shed, every pain, every loneliness, every disappointment, every loss...everything. It's been wonderful to be led by His Spirit.
Before Christmas we were able to speak to a lot of people who told us to come see them after the holidays. Sister Boyd, Sister Rae, and I kept a list of all these people and the different ways they said we could contact them (phone or stop by, etc.) Of a list of about twenty people, two people allowed us to set up an appointment to come teach them with a member.
One of them is a man named Billy Walker. We met him one afternoon when he was getting his mail. We had a decent conversation, invited him to learn more and he told us we could contact him after the new year. He told us he is a non-denominational preacher and during our lesson he told us his sermons are put on T.V. (I don't think he's too well known so don't go looking his name up on the Internet...Dad:)
He's very sweet and he has a wonderful conversion story. He's in his 70's and he was born and raised in the Austin area. He had a rough life in the beginning but when he was in his thirty's he decided he needed to take steps to change and he started reading in the Bible for direction from God. As we were listening to him. He said " One day I opened my Bible and came across James, first chapter fifth verse; which reads, If any of you lack wisdom..." I think we all know how this ends. It was a powerful moment. The Lord is preparing people in His own way to receive the blessings of the restored gospel.
The restoration and living prophets was new to Billy as was the book of Mormon, but we shared our testimonies and invited him to read it and to ask Heavenly Father if it's true. He told us to give him a week so our next appointment is this Wednesday. I wish I had time to tell of other experiences but don't. Things are going well.
As always thank you for all that you do.
Love you all,
Sister Green

Dear Family,
Quick e-mail this week but things are going well and I'm looking forward to the new month and the new year. I have one quick scripture and invitation I want to extend to each of us before I sign off. The scripture is in Ether and this is the Brother of Jared who is preparing a way for the barges he has built to receive light. I've found an interesting parallel between this scripture and the new year, when a part of our culture is to set goals for the upcoming year.
The scripture reads:.(Brother of Jared Speaking) "O Lord thou hast said that we must be encompassed about by the floods. Now behold, O Lord, and do not be angry with thy servant because if his weakness before thee; for we know that thou art holy and dwellest in the heavens, and that we are unworthy before thee; because of the fall our natures have become evil continually; nevertheless, O Lord, thou hast given us a commandment that we must call upon thee, that from thee we may receive according to our desires."
Last year President Cutler invited all of us to pray and ask Heavenly Father what He would have us accomplish in the new year. Now as 2011 is here we can do the same. The Brother of Jared was a prophet and a leader of an entire civilization but he never lost sight of his dependence upon the Lord.
What are some of the "desires of our hearts?" I invite all of us to think about them and pray to our Father in Heaven to have Him help us set goals this year that will bring us closer to Him and to our Savior. He knows us better than we know ourselves and He knows what will make us truly happy; We just have to trust in Him. I know that if we will make Heavenly Father a part of our goals for the year we will look back in preparation for 2012 and find that we've grown that much closer to who He would have us be.
I Love you all and hope you have a wonderful week.

Dear Family,
It was a wonderful Christmas week in the field. It was great to feel of the spirit of the season. Sister Boyd and I have been praying mightily for opportunities to share the gospel. Especially around this time of year when a lot of people feel alone. Christmas day we didn't have any lessons planned but after I finished my phone calls a family from the ward picked us up and took us to the church where they had invited other families to come and play games and eat. Only one other family from the ward came by, but a wonderful "Christmas Miracle" happened.
We had been in the church for a couple minutes when a young woman walked in. She told us her name was Stephanie and she asked us if we were having any services during the day. We told her no but that she was welcome to come back Sunday and come to church with us. She seemed a little disappointed. Sister Swan (the member that picked us up) asked her if she wanted to stay and eat food and play games with us and she said "Could I?" She told us she lived a few blocks down the street but that her family didn't want to spend Christmas with her.
As the Swan's got things prepared Sister Boyd and I sat with Stephanie for a few minutes and got to know her. She's 20 years old, and she told us a little about her past and family problems. She told us she was searching and that she'd been to a lot of different churches and was raised Baptist but hasn't really felt anything yet. She's heard several things about our faith and she asked us questions about those things. She was relieved to find out none of them were true.
Sister Boyd and I invited her to learn more about the things we believe by talking to the Taylor Elders (She's in their area) and she said she wanted to. When we had a minute we called the Elders and they stopped by the church not too long after. We all answered more of Stephanie's questions while eating ham and playing Uno Jenga:) The Elders had another appointment to get to but Stephanie stayed at the church for a couple of hours and throughout the time she spent with us she kept saying "I don't know why people think ya'll are crazy, you're some of the nicest people I've ever met."
Sister Swan gave Stephanie a ride back to her home and the Elders arranged for her to get a ride to church the next morning. The Taylor Ward meets right before the Old Settlers Ward but Brother Swan goes to church early for ward business and he saw Stephanie there with the Elders.
My testimony of our Heavenly Father watching over each of us, individually, has been strengthened. Even though it wasn't a big turn out the Swan's were guided to have a little "get together" at the church. If it were not for that Stephanie would have kept walking. I'm so glad I got to be a part of something so wonderful.
After Stephanie left we were talking about how Heavenly Father reaches out to "the one." Sister Schorr (the wife of the other family that came with us) talked about how Elder Bednar once asked "Do you think the Lord would send me to a place for one person?"...Of course He would." I remember when Elder Bednar came to see us in February and he allowed us to ask him anything we wanted. There was an Elder who spoke up and he mentioned that he was a recent convert to the church. He didn't get into too much detail but his past still troubled him and he wanted to feel of God's love more in his life. I remember Elder Bednar pausing for a moment to listen to the Spirit and then he spoke directly to this Elder. He promised him blessings for keeping his covenants and told him of things to do in his life to help him feel of God's love. He also told him the Lord accepted him. It was a powerful moment.
I love the gospel. Anyone who is sincerely searching for truth will be led to our Savior's church. It's been an unforgettable holiday season. Thank you all for your warm Christmas wishes.
Love you,
Sister Green

Dear Family,
Another wonderful week. The Lord is really blessing Sister Boyd and I by leading us to those who are prepared to receive the gospel. Yesterday after church, we knocked a street we'd planned to knock the evening before during our nightly planning. After knocking a few houses a woman answered the door. We introduced ourselves and as we asked her if she'd ever talked to missionaries before she looked down, looked back up at us and said "You know what?...Come on in, Come on in."
As we went in she told us her name is Sonja and that she has an older sister who is a member of our church and she lives in California. She doesn't know too much about her sister because they recently found out they were related but she knew her sister was a "Mormon". She allowed us to say a prayer and then she opened right up to us and told us she knew she needed to be more religious. She told us the end of the year is always a difficult time for her because she sets goals at the beginning and when the end is close she looks back on the things she didn't accomplish.
After telling us about herself she asked us to tell her what we did as missionaries. We told her our purpose was to invite everyone to receive the blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We told her about how we've had a living prophet on the earth since the 1800's and how we have a prophet today as well as twelve apostles. She inquisitively replied, "Really?" She loved the idea of having a prophet who speaks to God just like in the Bible, to help her receive more direction in her life. The Spirit was great and her heart was so open.
We read from the Book of Mormon and lots of questions about the purpose of life and life after death came up. We told her our message can't be learned all at once and we asked to set up a return appointment to share more with her. She thought about it for a minute and said "Can you come back tomorrow?" So we have an appointment to go see her tonight along with one of our Ward Missionaries.
When we asked Sonja how she felt about the things we shared she said she "would need to come to church so [she] could see for [herself]." She told us that we looked familiar to her and that she had seen us somewhere before but she didn't know where. Sister Boyd and I looked at each other and we could tell we were both thinking "pre-existence":)
It's been a great week and I love that I get to share the gospel with people especially this time of year. I remember when I first came out in the field I met a lot of people who had a lot of problems. It was more than what I expected and when they would tell us some of the things they were worried about or going through I had no idea how to help them. I soon realized that all I needed to do and all I'm expected to do is love them and share the gospel. I know that there is nothing we've experienced that our Savior has not experienced Himself, long before we did. No matter what we've been through or how real our trials seem to us, our Savior and His gospel are the only thing that can heal us.
I love you all and hope we don't forget the "Reason for the Season."
Merry Christmas,
Sister Green

Dear Family,
Before I proceed I want to say...Congratulations on your graduation Dad!
This week has been great. I love working with Sister Boyd. She has such a strong desire to please the Lord. Working with her is the equivalent of working with a greenie fresh from the MTC. She's never lost the MTC fire. We've struggled finding people to teach this week but we're hopeful and know that if we continue to be diligent the Lord will bless us. We've met a few people who want us to come see them this week and they seem promising so we'll see what happens.
We had two non-members come to church this week but we're currently not teaching either of them. We've taught them in the past but each of them have different areas where there testimony needs to be strengthened. They're both wonderful and they enjoy coming to church. Robbie is 19 years old and the previous sisters saw his dad working out in the yard and began to teach them. The other is Stephanie. I don't have time to go into too much detail about both of them but Stephanie has a great story I want to tell.
She was raised Baptist and when she was 16 years old she ordered a copy of the Book of Mormon. Her father was a Baptist preacher and when her mom found out she wasn't very happy. A few years ago her dad passed away. Her mother remarried a member of the church and she was baptized in February of this year. Her mother contacted the bishop here and asked him to send the missionaries over to Stephanie so she could also learn about the gospel. The previous Sisters were able to get to know Stephanie and share the gospel with her and her 8 year old son Austin.
Stephanie is also in the military and a couple months ago she found out she had to be to work early in the morning. She didn't have anyone to watch her son and her mom suggested she talk to someone from the church to help and she assured her that someone would be there for her. After talking to the sister missionaries, they asked around the ward and there was a family, the Hernandez's that stepped up and said they would be willing to take care of Austin while Stephanie made her way to work at 4:30 in the morning.
Austin is the same age as one of their boys and everything worked out perfectly.
Sister Rae, Sister Boyd, and I got to spend time with Stephanie and her parents, at the Hernandez's, when they came down a couple weeks ago to visit (they live in Alabama). It was so great to hear the testimony of Stephanie's mother who was also raised Baptist. She said she knew that this is the true church and she wants her family to be a part of it (right now she's the only member). I know the Lord has His hand in this families' life as he does for all of us.
Sister Boyd and I are really excited for this transfer. I want so much to bare my heart to the people here and have the Holy Ghost testify to them of the things I know to be true. I feel like Alma's words are my own when he says "I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that ye would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins."
I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. Nothing in this world will bring as much joy or happiness than accepting our Savior and following Him.
Love you all,
Sister Green

Dear Family,
We received our transfer calls last night and the results are....Sister Rae will be leaving and Sister Boyd and I will be staying here in Old Settlers. After this transfer is complete Sister Boyd and I will have served together for 6 months of our missions. Sister Rae will be missed but transfers are always such a fun time for me. I love that our Heavenly Father can reveal to us where He would have us be.
Both of my mission Presidents have explained the process they go through with transfers and both have testified of how they've been guided by our Heavenly Father to best place all 180 of us. That reminds me of Elder Rasband's talk for Easter Conference when he spoke about missionary work and how the General Authorities receive revelation when placing missionaries in their field of labor. Heavenly Father is too good to us.
This is a wonderful area to be in. the members are looking forward to some consistency because there have been a lot of changes made within the past few months. They're all still really supportive and they LOVE to do missionary work.
One highlight from this week happened a few days ago. We received a referral on our phone (meaning there's someone in our area who is interested in learning more about the gospel). The referral was for a woman named Sherri Shultz and she lives here with her husband and as far as we know two sons.
Sherri and her family really enjoy listening to Glen Beck and she was listening in when he spoke about emergency preparedness. He referenced a website that people could look at if they were interested and Sherri went online to search. She looked up the address for the local bishop's storehouse and dropped by the week before last. A member showed her around and answered some of her questions and there was also another member who had a copy of the Book of Mormon with her (just in case:). Sherri accepted and began her personal study of the Book of Mormon.
When we stopped by to see her she had lots of wonderful questions about the things she read in a little less than a week and we found out that she had read the first 100 pages of the Book of Mormon; with her favorite parts highlighted. We were able to pray and share more with her and she was so receptive and willing to listen. Her oldest son is having jaw surgery today and she'll be busy taking care of him for the next month or so. We won't be able to see her during that time but she wants to learn more when her son is better and I know she'll continue to feast on the Book of Mormon until then. She will have it read by our next appointment.
I love this gospel and I know there are people, our brothers and sisters who are searching for truth. We just need to be good examples and when the time comes open our mouths and share the good news.
Thank you all for your prayers and support. Hope you enjoy the pictures. Sorry it's taken so long to get a picture of my mission presidents off to y'all. The Cutlers are first and the Jones' are next. Have a great week
Love you guys,
Sister Green

Dear Family,
It was a great week again. Time is going by exceptionally fast. My companions and I were able to get to know more of the families in the ward this week. We continue to be blessed with people who are interested and we are looking forward to another week of sharing the gospel.
I'm reminded of President Cutler who told us that sometimes when we work we don;'t see the results of that work for a few weeks. The Lord is really blessing us for our previous weeks efforts. I've attached a few pictures that were taken on Thanksgiving at the Wolters and of another family (the Murffs) that we took a few days after Thanksgiving. Enjoy.
I also want to remind you that next week is transfer week and I won't be e-mailing until Tuesday. Love you guys lots and hope you have a wonderful week.

P.S. I'll try to write more next week
It was a great week again. Time is going by exceptionally fast. My companions and I were able to get to know more of the families in the ward this week. We continue to be blessed with people who are interested and we are looking forward to another week of sharing the gospel.
I'm reminded of President Cutler who told us that sometimes when we work we don;'t see the results of that work for a few weeks. The Lord is really blessing us for our previous weeks efforts. I've attached a few pictures that were taken on Thanksgiving at the Wolters and of another family (the Murffs) that we took a few days after Thanksgiving. Enjoy.
I also want to remind you that next week is transfer week and I won't be e-mailing until Tuesday. Love you guys lots and hope you have a wonderful week.
