7 Month Mark!!!!
Sep 28, 2015

Hey everyone, I cant believe that I have been out on my mission for 7 months. Time flies.
Here was my week:

Monday: We had our p-day. Then we went to see Bill our investigator. We talked about the scriptures and read some of them with him. He is doing great. Learning about the gospel. Then we went to see Flora. We found her last week. We stopped by and she was home. We talked to her about the Book of Mormon and she was excited to read it.

Tuesday: We had New Missionary training for Sister Parker. So we left early and headed to the Mission Home. The training was great. We learning a lot about the Why to things and how we can become better missionaries. We also learned how to teach the people more about the Restoration of the Gospel. It was a great training. Then we went to dinner with a member and met a guy named Charlie, He was interested in the BOM and a Bible. We talked with him about them and gave him the BOM and the Bible. We then got his information because he wanted to learn more. We realized he didn't live in our are so we had to give him to the other missionaries. It was a very cool experience.

Wednesday: We had District Meeting. We learned about asking questions and to listen to our investigators or people we are teaching. It was a great meeting. I learned a lot about listening to the person and trying to rely on the spirit to help teach them. After that we went and saw Bill. We talked about 2 Nephi 25 and how it can help us to understand more about the Isaiah chapters.

Thursday: We went to Almont. We first went and saw Holly. She is a member we are working with to get her back to church. We talked to her about church and the importance of going to church. We then went to help Arlene with her flower garden. We helped her cut down some of her flowers for the winter. It was great. We then taught Diane. We talked with her about the Women's Conference and what it was and she agreed to come with us.

Friday: We did our weekly planning. It was the last one for this transfer. It was sad. Transfers are next week. Then we had all day to go finding. It was fun. Then we went to a members house for dinner. It was great. They have little kids and they were so cute.

Saturday: We went and watered Peggy's flowers and then we went to Metamora to go contacting. They were having a fair. It was great. We talked to a couple people, no one was interested but that it ok. Then we went to the General Women's Conference at the Relief Society Presidents House. Our investigator Diane came with us. She was so happy she came to meet the members and then to watch it. She loved it. The conference was so good. I really liked President Uchdorfs talk on the parable of Ava and her aunt. It was a great story that relates to each of us.

Sunday: Was Fast Sunday for us. It was great. We had our investigator Diane come to church. She loved church. She felt the spirit so strong. It was a great Sabbath. We then went finding and had dinner at a members house.

Well I hope you all have a great week. This week is General Conference!!! I am so excited.

Well I love you all!!

Love Sister Alisha Carol Betts
