Well Hey There!
Wow sounds like a lot is going on there with the politics! That is so neat that dad is so involved and that so many in our ward are involved also!
Okay so things are going pretty great here. Much better than last week! Two of our investigators who had dropped us last week randomly came to church! That was a nice surprise! We have 4 potential investigators that we are really hoping will become solid investigators this week!
Thank you for the fun St. Patricks day "GO GREEN" buttons! those were fun to wear! Sister Crawford especially loved it! Good choice! :) St. Patricks day was pretty good. We had a meeting with the Easter pageant cast! It's huge! There are over 400 hundred people in the cast! I know the guy who will be playing Isaiah pretty well, we eat dinner with his family quite a bit. His name is Steve Kroll. He also helps with a lot of the producing now too. I have to find an 'in' with people so that I can be in the pageant when I get home! So many people try out and even though there are 400 cast members MANY are turned away. Anyway at the meeting with the cast they had us missionaries walk around and train them and role play with them on how to invite the people in the audience to learn more about the church from missionaries and also to go into the visitors center before and after the showing of the pageant. It was really neat. The cast members are so nice and so willing to learn and do missionary work. The cast members will be walking around in costume before the pageant starts and talking to people. President Ellsworth talked to them and said that our full time missionaries wear a badge that helps them feel a bit more confident and be a little more bold than most people can be, and you have your costume that gives you that same confidance and authority to teach testify and invite. SO neat.
Another thing that is really neat is that President Ellsworth has felt inspired to only have sisters work the Easter Pageant this year. This is something that they have never done in all the years of doing the Easter Pageant. They have always of course had the sisters only doing the visitor center, but they always had Elders working the crowds outside on the temple grounds. Now we are having only sisters out there. All the VC sisters will still be inside, but the full field sisters will be outside, and also the tempe mission sisters are coming to work the crowds outside! pretty neat right? This has never happened before and what a neat opportunity for the Tempe mission sisters to be able to work at the Easter Pageant! It will be fun getting to know some of the sisters from the other mission during this time! Also Sister Crawford is the only full field sister that will be working inside the VC because she is my companion! Cool right? She is so super stoked! I am grateful that she gets this opportunity. Easter Pageant really will show miracles! Sister Beckstrand is doing a VC choir with some of the VC sisters so that is being fun. We are just getting together and learning music and singing together. Sister Beckstrand is a fabulous pianist! incredible. She has also asked all the VC sisters to try to memorize The Living Christ before Easter Pageant! YIkes! I am excited to try because this is a goal I've had forever, but that only gives me 10 days to learn it! haha, I might be late- but ima gonna do it!
Well I gotta close, sister crawford has a doctors appointment to fill up her medication so time is short! Loves to all! thank you for all the love and support! MWAH!!!
