Half Way There!!

OK y'all. so i have no more time. i have to grab some lunch before we go clean the Provo temple. so ya, here are some pics. kinda describing the week.

it was a good time. 

HIT THE MONTH MARK. 

love you all.

i don't like to write long emails..... send me a letter and i will send you a long one back.

the church is true. God lives and scriptures can help us receive inspiration from Him. 

This week I asked, "my body is exhausted, really how can I go on happily and joyfully?" we then read as a district the Book of Enos in the Book of Mormon and seriously there was the answer.

TRY IT. IT WORKS.

also, please go to church. its a good place.

OK, bye (:

Sister Walker

also, love you ALL <3

Love letter from Lacey

This week has been absolutely fantastic!!

OK y'all, so this week has been absolutely fantastic. I am loving all the mandarin newbies and we are just having the time of our lives! Chinese is fantastic and I love it! I cannot wait to go to Taiwan and change people's lives!!!(:

So this week has been kind of weird because of the mission president seminar thing that is happening! But, on Saturday we had TRC, but instead of helping people from the community we were able to teach our fellow sister missionaries... I was able to teach with Sister Jex.... Sister Hughes and Sister Farr who were both from BYU and we were really able to help them at this time and then we swapped and they helped us with ideas to help us become more patient and humble (:

I shared Alma 48 Where it says....(and this is a bad paraphrase but you get the jest) if all men/women had been and were and are like Captain Moroni, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever and the devil would never had power over the hearts of the children of men. --Pretty intense huh? Anyway, the verses before that share exactly how we can do that too! There are a couple things.. but the ones that stuck out to me were....1. work hard 2. have faith in Jesus Christ BAM> it is that easy <3

Also, I got to say the prayer on Sunday for the devotional!!! And meet with Sister Janice Kapp Perry.

Also, I got to host last week and this week... which basically means that I get to help the new missionaries coming in get their books and tag and take their stuff to their room and it is so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!<3 ah!

Also, we have like 7 investigators now... a couple gold tags, our two teachers, and three other missionaries! woot, so fun and it will seriously help so much when i am out in the field!

Love you all <3 

KEEP ON KEEP ON (:

Sister Walker

Friends from my YSA Ward at BYU...so fun to see them!

Wow! As usual I have no time :)

Alright so this week was intense!

1. We got a whole new district of mandarins! So exciting.... and my cousin is one of them! The other zone got two new districts.... we got ten and they got 16 (so 8 and 8)

2. Sister Jex and I got a new companion! Sister Howell for 4 days we were a trio!!!(:

3. Sister Jex and I were called to be Sister Training Leaders for our zone (they are like zone leaders for the sisters!)

4. The older district just left for taiwan, australia and hong kong!

5. I have seen so many people from the old ward it is soooooo exciting! I love having so many friends here, it makes it seem more like home (:

6. Did I tell you guys, i had to give a talk and prayer in sacrament meeting ALL IN CHINESE!?

7. I get to give the prayer in next sunday's devotional! ah, scary!

8. Sheri Dew, Elder Cook, and so many other amazing people have come to speak with us!!!

9. We get BYU creamery ice cream every sunday evening (: yum!

10. My testimony has grown so much through teaching! We got 2 new investigators and we got to talk with some return misisonaries who speak chinese and help them (:

AND JUST SO YOU KNOW, THAT IS NOT IT! but thats all i have time for:

One thing I think yall should do is......

Please go onto youtube and go watch "missionary work and the atonement" it starts out with president eyring and then it goes into elder holland, it is so good (: and really if I think about my mission.... that is: 

TO INVITE OTHERS TO COME UNTO CHRIST BY HELPING THEM RECEIVE THE RESTORED GOSPEL THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AND HIS ATONEMENT, REPENTANCE, BAPTISM, RECEIVING THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST, AND ENDURING TO THE END

(:

Chinese is hard. I love you all. I love the Savior Jesus Christ. <3

Loving the MTC

Hello!! Wo Ai Nimen (I love you guys!)

Thank you so much for the letter, seriously it is so great to get some from you guygs! Today was really good, our investigator is going, or has committed to go to church, is reading the Book of Mormon and know it is true! (she is really a teacher here at the MTC) but it is such good practice!!! 
Chinese is hard, but me and my companion work together to look up words we don't understand.  I love my district and thank goodness because I am going to be with them for 9 weeks.  I feel so much peace being here and am learning so much everyday!  Trying to work as hard as possible and laughing so much because....."there are 2 ways to get thru this life...to laugh or cry and I prefer to laugh because crying gives me a headache.."  Pretty sure that is a quote from Sister Hinckley :)
Today my friend Malia came into the MTC, it was so good to see her, seriously, I gave her the biggest hug ever!  
I love you all!!
