Hey everyone, well I got here in Michigan last Monday. 

Monday March 9
We left the MTC at 330am, and then got to the airport at 530am. We got our tickets and baggage checked in and then waited for the flight. The flight was pretty fun, not too bad. I slept most the time. When we arrived in Michigan, when you look out the window, all you see is flat, no mountains. It was a little cold here but it was just fine. We began our journey to find our luggage and meet our Mission President. we met President and Sister Gerber buy the luggage. They are so great, Sister Gerber gave us each a hug and President gave us a handshake. We then headed for the car.We had Subway and headed to the Mission Home. When we got back to the Mission Home, we took pictures and started our orientation. It was so much fun. 

Tuesday March 10
Today we got up and went to the church for our Transfer meeting, where we got to know where we were going and who our companion was. I was so excited. I am in a trio with Sister Woodruff ( Heber Ut) and Sister Cheerington (Idaho). It has been so much fun. we are in Adrian, Michigan. Our area is really big. It is a lot of country. After settling in we went tracting. I was so nervous but I knocked on doors and the spirit took helped me out. For dinner we had a Relief society birthday dinner. It was a lot of fun. 

Wednesday March 11

First day as a companionship. Our trio is so great and I have learned a lot from them. We got up and did our exercise. we do Jillian Micheal's videos. They are a lot of fun. We then had a District meeting. Elder Leonard and Elder Colson are the other 2 in our district. we talked about using the Book of Mormon in teaching. It was a very good meeting. we then went tracting/finding where we knocked on a door and met Phillip. He was very interested and we set up an appointment to go see him later this week. He was so funny and happy. We continued tracting until we had our dinner apt with Judy and Dotty. They are so great and amazing. We taught them the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Thursday March 12
We got up and studied and then headed to our investigator Dans House. Here is what happened we arrived at his apartment and introduced ourselves. I introduced my self and he kinda just looked at me. We sat down and began with a Prayer, I said the prayer. As soon as we were finished Dan said," I know where I have seen you before." and I was like where. He said," you were in my dream. I dreamed that you were here teaching me about the gospel in one of the lessons with the missionaries. He also said that if he didn't believe this was the right path for him, he does know because of the dream and then seeing Sister Betts". 
Well that gave me the chills. It was such a testimony of what God has in store for us. I know that Michigan was where I was called to serve and that miracles are in store for all of us. I also know God puts people in our lives so that we can bring others to Christ. 
It was an amazing Miracle and they just keep coming

Friday March 13
We had our weekly planning for the next week to see what appointments we have coming up. It was so exciting to see all the potential investigators. We met with our investigator Samuel and he also had a friend over so we were able to teach both of them. Dawne wants us to keep coming back she loved learning about the Book of Mormon. After we went to the Church for a Empty Nestor party. It was where all the elderly church members have a party. They had a St. Patrick's day party. after they shared all their talents. Like poems, crafts, music. It was a lot of fun. 

Saturday March 14

Today was a busy day with lots of appointments. We met with Samuel and Dawne and went over the first book of Nephi, she had lots of questions and loved to read and learn more. A miracle that happened today was we were home eating lunch when the phone rang. it was a man named Richard and he was looking for a YMCA. Well we told him we could look up the number for him in the phone book, as we were looking up the number Sister Woodruff started talking to him about his life and the church. He was very sad and had lost his parents and was trying to find hope. we scheduled an appointment with him. It is very amazing how God works through miracles. 

Sunday March 15

Today was the first Sunday in Adrian. Sister Woodruff and Sister Cheerington got asked to speak in sacrament. They did amazing. We were then all asked to talk about Prophets in Primary. It was amazing to see all the children and how the lord works through them. Church was great. the ward is amazing and I just love them. Afterwards we went to a couple appointments and then to our dinner appointment. We went to the Hoods. They are a cute couple. they are converts to the church and have been for 20 years. 

Well that was my amazing first week. I would encourage everyone to go to youtube type in
 " Because of Him" and watch the short clip it is an amazing clip on Jesus Christ. 

Well I Love you all and thanks for the support.
My P-day is on Mondays
