Excited to Listen to the Prophet


9.28.15
Family and Friends,

This upcoming transfer is going to be AMAZING! I love my new companion. We laugh all the time and also work together really well. The first day we had together, Thursday, we had a couple hours of weekly planning and then we got right to work and knocked on lots of doors and taught a couple people and in that first day we were able to find a handful of people that were interested in listening a little more and we are so excited for it.

Serving in the new Sister Training Leader area we had to make SO many phone calls Thursday through Saturday and have been able to help all the sisters set goals and are excited to have the opportunity to keep them accountable to those and to have the opportunity to learn from so many more sisters. I didn't realized how many calls that the leaders I had in the mission had to make but it is nice to be able to check up on all the missionaries and to be accountable to them as well and keeping them accountable and being able to hear all the miracles that are happening in the little part of the mission that we are serving:) The first few days we didn't actually know what we were doing completely but as we have received more incite what we need to do I am so excited.

Friday we had a really cool lesson with a member who is kind of sick right now and hasn't had the opportunity to come to church in a long time and last time we had met with her we had given her some specific scriptures that we wanted her to read, and we had a wonderful discussion with her. We talked about the light of Christ and how the thoughts that come into our minds are more than just us. And that our purpose in this life is to find that light and to share it with others.

Saturday... The General Woman Broadcast was the BEST!! I really loved President Utchdorf's talk/ parable. I loved how he talked about how important our look on life really is and with the knowledge of the gospel that is so much more possible. And now I can’t wait for all the opportunity to hear more of the leadership of the church speak Saturday and Sunday and to hear who our new apostles are going to be... three of them, how crazy is that!! I hope all you have planned to watch them all. We really are blessed to have the opportunity to be at the click of a few buttons to hear a prophet’s voice twice a year. A servant of the Lord who receives direct revelation for our church and for the entire world for that matter! Hope you all are doing well and can’t wait to hear everyone's thoughts on conference and what you learn not only from the prophet but what you learn from the spirit that is present when we listen to it. What questions are you going to go in with? What are you going to learn that is not said?:)

Love you all!!
Love Sister Mauck
