So this is a slow computer- BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE
TO HEAR FROM MY FAMILY EVERY WEEK!!! What a blessing it is to live in a time
where I can instantly talk to my loved ones!
Today is Sister Stoker's birthday. This morning I looked at
my watch 15 minutes before comp study was supposed to end and said "OH NO!
We're going to be late- put your shoes on." Really there wasn't a set time
to go I just wanted to make it more exciting.We went to the Cupcakery and I had
called before and ordered a little box for her. It was really cute!
(Because these computers aren't working the best we are going to email now and
send pictures later today...) After that we picked up a frappacino from
Starbucks and now we are emailing. After this we are leaving to get pedicures
and going to the Cheesecake Factory with Sister Lee (LOVE HER). It is just
going to be a day full of surprises and fun!! Sister Stoker is so sweet to me
so we are aiming to make this the best day ever!!
This week was exciting with exchanges. I spent a day with
Sister Lowry and Sister Nilson. Sometimes my favorite thing about exchanges is
just to talk about how we have real life problems. I have learned this week
that it is alright to have a bad day every once in a while as long as you turn
to the Lord for every second of it!! In Sister Nilson's area (called Lake Mead)
we were role playing in the morning using a "blessing contact" and Sister
Nilson played the investigator. After I asked her "What feels different
than from when we started talking?" She said that the room looks a little
lighter. Then we were talking to someone that day, asked the same question and
he WORD FOR WORD SAID THE EXACT SAME THING!!! You best believe that we smiled
so wide- the Lord REALLY prepares people to receive His message. I know
it!
ALSO------ BEST PART OF THE WHOLE WEEK------ WE WENT TO
LUNCH WITH SISTER NEIDER BUT IT GETS BETTER! We
were talking about some sisters that were struggling with certain problems,
asking for advice and things like that. We all were talking about what our
responsibilities are and how best we should be accomplishing them. I loved
hearing her words of wisdom about following up. She also applied EVERYTHING we
talked about to marriage and family. ("Salt Lake says we need to tell you
that you will be real people again one day," she says) I love Sister
Neider with my whole heart! Anyways... We were talking when she all the sudden
brings up the article (which everyone in the world and their mom wants to talk
to us about, which is nice... but Sister Stoker quotes it "Fields, tall
and outgoing radiates confi..." ALRIGHT HUSH!)
Side note: Sister Stoker and I just switched computers and
this one is bigger... I thought I wrote a lot more than I did. Whoops.
BACK TO THE STORY!! Sister Neider said that she was reading
the comments and "not all of them are nice, sisters..." She went on
to explain that the ordained women were a little upset I was talking about
Humility and said that it was stupid to ask a sister to do that and blah blah
blah... WELL THEN SHE SAYS
WELL... WHEN I WAS TALKING TO
DAVID BEDNAR ABOUT IT........
and so that happened. We are pretty much best friends. I
just wanted all of you to know about this!
With all my love,
and off to have fun
SISTER FIELDS
