Family!!!

Dang that's crazy that Elder Carillo is home hes an awesome elder supper hard worker so mike will be in good hands! I GET MY CAST OFF TOMARROW IM SO PUMPED!!! you don't even know how hot and itchy it is. that's my complaining moment for the week. but yeah I am really excited and im going to video them pulling out my pins!!! so we can all enjoy it together. YEA!

This week was totally awesome!!!!!!

Had a bunch of things to do and right now we are preparing for our meeting tomarrow!!!

to keep it short ill start with the funny story of the week!!!!

we were driving to a meeting and arrived there early accuaully about 30min early so we thought we would be able to get a bite to eat and Elder Mounga said that there is this Pho restaurant that's supper good and cheap so we went! we go in order the biggest bowl of Pho and we told our waiter a Korean guy that we want the best 1 they have. so it comes and for a Korean place I was surprised how big the bowl was. mom it was the size of the salad bowls you have. anyways its stacked with noodles, greens, and beef! so we just start chowin down because we only have 15min. a few minutes in I realize I was eating some really fatty meats, and that the noodles looked a little off, but we kept chowin down, until Elder mounga kind of said " man what is this? " and I observed it more ate a little bit more and we asked the waiter what was all inside of it and he listed it of...

beef

noodles

cow Intestine

COW STOMAKE

AND ORGAN

my stomake stured up inside and I was done. I mean it tasted alright but it dident taiste the same as it had after I knew about it, so then we bounced.

but monudo is a million times worse just to let you know.

2nd story!!!!

this was legit!!!!!! so prepare spiritually! briana and joe our investigators came to church and then we set up a lesson right after and when we show up only Joe was there and hes like not as interested as briana but we were still stoked to teach him, and during the prayer we here briana come to the door and she sits on the couch and just starts to tell us this " when I woke up this morning something warm was all around me and it kept telling me that I need to be baptized and as I went to church the feeling only grew and grew! and I know I am supposed to be here so Joe I am getting baptized either with you or without!" haha it was amazing you could totally see and feel here testimony she has! so then we set a date for sunday and she will be ready and Joe will be praying to see if he is ready then to accept to be baptized. we picked this couple up 2and a half weeks ago from contacting the lord has been preparing this couple. its definitely a humbling experience, this couple is so amazing!!!!!!!! like the coolest people im so stoked to see them grow.

well family the work is true. There can be no greater change in someones life when they choose to be baptized. so soothing that will help us all this week is to think about what has led in our life because of our baptism. then think about what if you never got baptized were your life would be.

its pretty intense.

well family love you all so much!!!!!!!

Hey family Elder Lindmeir

hope you scrolled down on my last email so you could get it all. but what a great week this week!!!!!!!! like always the lord provides and we saw some awesome miracles!!!!!! but before that I have just been pondering and studying and praying about what have I learned the most on my mission and what I have truly gained and it was simple. I have finally gained a true testimony. A testimony that only I can understand and feel its more than saying you believe its more than thinking you believe and know, my testimony came as I have humbled myself and let the lord shape me. my testimony I what fuels my fire!!!! its the only thing that keeps me going!!!!!! my testimony is literally felt throughout my whole frame of my body, its the only way I can describe it, because of my testimony I feel the true peace in life, I feel like I can literally accomplish anything that the lord wants me to. its funny to explain what I feel and what I know as a true fact, that Jesus is the Christ and that his gospel is in its fullness today. I cant say that this is the only true church but I can say and promise that this is the only church that will bring you closer to your savior than any other religion because of the covenants, ordinances and scriptures and it brings to the table. I cant tell you exactly whats going to happen to us when we die, but I know.. without a doubt that there is something in each of us that teaches and tells us what truth is and it sure tells me that Jesus Christ really did die for me and that we can all live again. now what that intells?? that's another question but I sure believe 100% the plan of salvation but I haven't received the same whitness as I have that Jesus is the Christ. so just from the feelings of truth that i get from the spirit wich is in me gives a firm knowledge and another whitness that he is real and he truly does love us.

I love it!!!!!! its so crazy how real it is!!! and theres nothing better than sharing my testimony! testamonies have so much power!!!! when you read or hear it if your humble enough the spirit really will tell you it is true!

I know im preaching to the choir and theres no rebuking or harm in this I just wanted to share a little bit of my testimony.

well family don't got much time and that took a lot longer than I thought but I love you all. I cant wait until I give you all a hug, but I know im not finished an o I am stoked to find all those who are in need and bring them to eternal happiness. I love you again and thanks for the prayes and all you do for me!

What is up Fam?

 

This week started slow, but we got a surprise on Tuesday! This new missionary came in, Elder Ellis, and guess where he's from?            

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LAYTON!

 

 

 

 

It's pretty cool....he knows Jager!  And so we put it in Hyper-Drive!!!!! I mean we gots ta put this greenie to work!

we made it a goal to talk to 35 people a day and to pick up 5 new Investigators so pretty much we were running from door to door and chasing people down it was so awesome!!!!!!!!!! the first day we saw this couple getting into there car and we ran after them and made them laugh and then bore testimony and we were able to pick them up!! there awesome there willing to listen and take the lessons but there strong in there church but hey the spirit converts not us.

then we knocked on a door and this lady answers and we talk and she ends up being a member but her kids are not and her husband isent and we tought them about how the gospel blesses families and they are so excited to continue on this path! cool thing about it the daughjter is named Jazlin shes 13 and they just moved in and shes supper sad all the time because she has no friends and we tought her about how it will fill the whole or gap that shes missing.

we got a call from a PMF who was cancelling our lesson because he got called into work but that he said im going to walk to the gas station buy a monster and head to work and we conviced him that we can just walk with him to the store and teach him and we did and he totally loves it!!!!! so we will be teaching him soon!

then while working we have been helping the members to do missionary work like for example what we did to you dad on Skype. and while at our dinner we get a text saying hey my friend is at the fire pit cooking hotdogs you guys wana show up and meet her??? of course we said and we drove down there met her tought her and picked her up and its amazing to see how much more solid she is compared to the people we just meet on the streets because of the friendship they have made!!!! were teaching her tonight so were so excited!!!!

so at the end of this week we hit all our goals a picked up more Investigators in a week than I ever have!! the lord always provides!!!!! love you all!!!!

Sister Lindmeir!

A couple of really exciting things happened last week! Jacob our recent convert got the priesthood yesterday and a temple recommend! He is awesome and we are hoping that he will want to serve a mission in the future! Then a former companion of mine Sister Standing got emergency transferred to Kennewick and i got to go on a exchange with her, and it was the best! Honestly a huge blessing from Heavenly Father because i have not seen her in such a long time and it was cool to see how much she has grown since i have been with her 9 months ago! Then with one of the sets of Sisters we serve that are having a hard time finding new investigators, so we did a "faith filled hour exchange" and it was an awesome exchange! we only knocked on 3 doors and and we were able to have lessons with each of them! and we were led to the sweetest lady ever who is so prepared! It is amazing how there are so many people in every single place you serve that are prepared for the gospel! we just have to be hunters and find them! this is one of my favorite scriptures about being hunters Jeremiah 16:16 "behold, i will send for many fishers, saith the Lord, and they shall fish them; and after will i send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks." We are Gods hunters and we have to find all those that are ready.
 I know that when i go home i will continue to be a hunter. I will never stop doing missionary work and bringing those to the truth. Which is the only thing that can fill them with joy, peace, and make them whole. My heart aches that i have to go home but i know everything is going to be okay.

I made a goal that this week is going to be the best week ever! This week is going to be filled with so many miracles! This is not, going to be a sad week, but a week filled with so much joy! I am so grateful for my mission and everything it has taught me. Honestly the best 18 months of my life! I love you all! Love Sister Lindmeir
