yeah a new adventure

yeah!!!!!! im so excited, i am going on a new adventure. i am finally leaving my first area. i am being sent to open a whole new area in Bradington. it is a whole new ward. the bishop was just called last week so i wont have any auxilaries to help me for the first little while. but everything is done in a fast orderly fashion so im not too worried in fact im not worried at all. i wont have an apartment, car or phone at first but that will all be worked out quickly. i am sooooo excited. it is said to be the ghetto of florida but i would rather work with the humble and confused then the rich and proud any day. it will be an adventure for sure but i know i am in the hand of the Lord and he will take care of me. my new companion is from Japan and doesnt speak very good english but she is wonderful. i love her. i love you all and will keep you updated.

fun stories

ok so here is a fun mission story.
one day my comp and i prayed about an area to go find in. we found one and headed out but some how got lost. so we pulled over and said a prayer that he would help us find someone ready to hear the message in this new area we were in. we opened our eyes and immidiatly the spirt began to lead us. it was amazing. we would get to the end of the street, pause and then we would both express where we felt we should go, which we both continually felt the same promptings. finally we came to the end of one street and decided to tract it. that day we found a man who was not only ready but had been waiting for something. in the first week of teaching him he has set a date to be baptized on june21 and is wanting to buy as many church books as he can. of course we give him all the main ones for free but it is incredible to see someone so ready. he sais his only regret is he didnt find us sooner. he is telling all his friends about us and invited one friend to church on sunday which is also a good story because we had seen that friend (his name is tye) at the store the week before and had invited him. he said he would think about it but then after stephan (the man we are teaching) called him he accepted. it is neat to see the way the Lord works in our lives and the lives of others. i Know we were meant to find Stephan that day and i know we were meant to find Tye at the store and now we can teach both these wonderful men. i love this work with all my heart.
one more quick story. we are also teaching a women named holly kelly who at the last lesson felt the spirit so strongly that she cried and couldnt keep the goose bumps away. she is wonderful and we are excited to see her progress. thanks for reading my fun stories. i alwayse have more but those are my current favorites.

pictures

hey family, here is a picture of my and my trainee, sister strewart. i wish i had more but sadly i dont.
transfers are coming up so i dont know how much longer we will be together. the other picture is of my zone and i out by the water at a beautiful park that we go to on p-days. we have fun together.
so funny story-- my compannion and i were invited to a mothers day dinner at the church. it was set up so that couples could go and feel like they were on a romantic date. the lights were dim, there was balloons and streamers and candles and sparkling cider and everything. we even got seated by one of the young men who were all wearing nice suits. each person had a table with their name on it and a special menu all printed out with the things you had ordered from the night before. it was beautiful and it was romantic. sadly we had no men:) sister stewart and i were placed at a table in the back and the other couples didnt show so it was just us. "table for two corner booth please" hahahah we felt so funny. it was awesome. people kept laughing at us cause here we were at this romantic dinner at a table with ourselves lights dim and nice music in the back ground. :) we decided to have a mock byu date so we ask eachother all the typical awkward questions. it was awesome. we called it a "rotic" date, which is romantic without the "man". pretty clever i know. we have lots of fun together. its fun having a best friend always around. we just do everything together and we love it. well i love you all and will tell you what happens with transfers next week. love ya lots. love ME!

april 14th entry

ok, so here is a story that gave me a fright:)(fright is such a fun word, i should use it more often) i got my card from salt lake that tells me when my mission is completed and i can go home. P.S. it was signed by President Thomas S. Monson. --for some reason they had me set to go home next april. i was so confused because im not supposed to go home till next may or july. so basically they were counting my mtc time and my home time as part of my mission. i was like NOOOOOOO! i dont want my home time to count for my mission time. that would mean i would be coming home in exactly a year. no offence but im not even close to ready for that. so i talked to my mission president and he called salt lake and we got it all worked out. when i showed him the card he said, "that wont do, we want to keep you as long as we can". so he worked it out and now im not due to come home till either may 26 or july 7th. my official release date is june 4th but it lies in the middle of two transfers so i could go home the transfer before or after. im not thinking right now which one i would choose i just thought i would share my funny little story with you all.
if any one wonders how you can help with missionary work and you dont have friends off the top of your head to refer then here is a little advice. President Hinckley was big on "retain, retain,retain" so here is some ideas. find out if there are any inactives or part member families that you could invite over or take a plate of cookies or some how befriend. the idea is... there is so many who are falling in the cracks who are already members and live right in our areas. we need to do more as members to find them and help them.this is what we are pushing for in our ward. the inactive list in our ward is almost double our active list. that is sad. we need to do more for them. we as missionaries can only do so much. the friendship needs to come from the ward. so that is my idea for how you all can help with missionary work in your own wards. i love you all so much. i will keep in touch. love sister conover the 7th
