Never Smile at an Alligator- Charlie, April 18, 2016

Hey Y'all, 

Well this week went by too fast. I can't believe it.

Okay so I will start out by saying I love all y'all. You are so amazing. I am grateful to have you in my life. You have helped me out so much. I will never forget the memorize  I have shared with you. 

Monday was pretty cool. Just to say Sister North and I had a little fun. ...She Dyed my hair!! It was so much fun. I loved every Sec. While I was waiting for the time. I watch the District 2. So good. 

Well after words we went to see a few people. It went well. 

Tuesday we had District Meeting and just to say 5 minutes before my district leader asked if I would give a Testimony on the restored gospel. How I knew it was true. I don't know what came out but it went good. After words we saw a few people. It was so amazing. We talked to a few people that we hadn't seen in a while. They were so happy to see us. 

Wednesday we had Interviews with President Cottle! I just loved it. It truly was amazing. He is having us memorize the 42 principles that we teach to Investigators. So when it came to the interviews he picked one. And guess what? He had me do 4.At least I had flash cards and I was working on them really hard. I was really happy about that. Near the end of the day we had our little missionary meeting and then we had our sports night. It was so much fun. They played human tic tac toe. I had a fun time watching. 

Thursday we went out and we walked to areas to try and just to say we picked a bad day because no one was home. So we went back for dinner and then we had Lauren come out with us to see a few people and then we went and a lesson with her. She loved it. So was so happy to come out with us. I enjoyed every sec of it. 

Friday was Weekly Planning. Man just to say this week really flew by. But we went and tried a few people after weekly planning. We also helped a Recent Convert with her lesson on Sunday. It was so much fun. 

Saturday we helped someone do service in her house. Also we had our fun Cottage meeting. After words we taught them about missionary experiences. Knowing we can do small things to help others feel that someone cares about them. 

After that we taught M___ About the Plan of Salvation. She told us that she wants to come to church and check it out sometime. 

Sunday was so wonderful. They talked a lot about Pray for Missionary Experiences. It was cool. The spirit was so strong in the room. You could really feel some excitement in some of the members. After church we went out with  a less active to go teaching. She was amazing at teaching. After a while we went to dinner and before dinner Sister North and I found an Alligator right outside our dinner appointment's house. At  first I thought it was dead and then it moved into the water. It was so cool. 

I sure do love all y'all. Y'all are the best. I hope Y'all have a wonderful week. 

Thought: Ether 12:27

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

3 Nephi 12:14-16

14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, I give unto you to be the light of this people. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

15 Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house;

 16 Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

I know that all of us can find our weakness and help others come unto Christ and be that light for others to see. I sure do hope all y'all have a wonderful week. 

What an amazing week!!! (April 5, 2016)

This is Charlie's email from last week.

Hey Y'all, 

Well just to say this week was so wonderful. Everything is going well. Just to say things are just great here in Pooler Georgia!  So I will tell you why it was a wonderful week. 

Monday was our fun P-Day! Just to say I went to Good Will. And Just to say I like DI Better then Good Will. It was so strange to be in the place with everything the same price or just maybe I just miss the DI. 

Well after our day we went and saw Ms. Margret. We had a fun talk with her. She is amazing. She can't wait for General Conference. She just loves it. We tried a few others but they didn't work out. 

Tuesday was District meeting. It was so amazing. We had wonderful Training that will help us with General Conference . Well after District Meeting we went to lunch and then went to see others. It was a pretty good day. We saw a Sabrina and we had our lesson outside and just to say I hate bugs. And they just love me. After Sabrina's we went over to see Lauren and her cute kids. Yep her kids got to come for Spring Break and I had a lot of fun with her Daughter. So we taught them the Pepper Bowl to go along with baptism. They loved it. It was so much fun to see their faces when they saw the pepper move away from their hand. 

Wednesday we saw a few Less actives. Trying to help those feel welcome and also invite them to watch General Conference. It was a very weird day. Did a lot of knocking on doors so it is going to be great. The cool thing is when I looked at my water bottle and said to my companion that I need some more water. Then we went over to see Penny and see if I could fill it up. Well we got a talking with her and then she told us that we came at the right time. Man it was so cool to hear that. I felt really good inside. 

Thursday we saw some more less actives. And finding to. Also just to say we had just one of those days and not a lot really happened. But later that night we had dinner with Lauren and her kids and it was so much fun. Taught them Spiritual CPR. They really got the point of the object lesson. My very first one and they do it the right way. 

Friday was Weekly Planning and it went well. Just to say we where in Tornado Watch all day long. Why does this happen to me? But nothing really happened just really hard rain and just to say I wore the wrong shoes for it. Well we saw a few less actives. Taught them the 10 commandments using hand signs. They loved it. Just to say it sure does help me out so much. 

Saturday was GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! Just to say I just loved General Conference. It was just the best. Also General Conference was so powerful. Just to say my questions where answered. I think that is so cool to know that he does that. (Heavenly Father)

Well after Conference on Saturday we went and saw a few people and it was so cool. Just to say A____ and her family really want to come and visit the church. They really love it when we come. They said we always come at the right time. I just love it when that happens. 

Sunday was a wonderful General Conference session. Just to say when Elder Christofferson talked about fathers I just lost it. Lauren was sitting next to me and handed me a tissue. Just to say both of us were just crying. The real cool thing was I could really feel my dad right next to me rubbing my back like he has in the past. It was just wonderful to know that I will see him again soon. And I know he sure does do his father responsibilities even with us. Just helping us out spiritually. I sure do love him for that. Well just to say I was so sad to see conference go. But I sure can't wait for 6 more months to hear more about it. After conference we went to see the Littles and then Lauren made Sister North and I dinner. It was so good. In the background we could hear Jody watching the Priesthood session of Conference. So it was just wonderful. 

Thought: 

2 Nephi 27:5 

 For behold, the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep. For behold, ye have closed your eyes, and ye have rejected the prophets; and your rulers, and the seers hath he covered because of your iniquity.

Alma 26:12

Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever.

I sure do love y'all. I hope y'all have a wonderful week. Thanks for all y'all do. 

This week sure has been a fun week. I hope all of us will ponder over conference and apply the things into our own lives. Love ya. 

Have the best day of your entire life. :) 

P.S. During the week there was a bunny in our yard. Just to say it got kind of scared when I took the picture. 

Pictures: With Lauren's Kids. Just to say her daughter told her that she that she feels like she knows me but doesn't know from where. That was so touching. 

Slept in a car...

I guess sleeping in the car was traumatic for Sister Bitty Bug.  Either that or it was very exciting.  :) We had our own carbon monoxide scare a few months ago.  The detector went off in the night...boy is that alarm loud!!!  I think my heart raced for days afterwards.  Luckily for us, we didn't have to sleep in the car.  Several of us would have had to sleep on the lawn...in the snow! (Now we have this wonderful van so we could all fit!)
As they say in North Carolina, have a blessed week!

Hey Y'all,

Well just to say this week was a very strange week. Not a lot of things happened. 

Just to say we had lessons but things turned out different. 

So to start off my letter, 

Monday we had a normal day. Had a fun day and went out with Lauren for the rest of the night seeing people. We saw M____ and she had a good time. Then after that we saw Sister Norton. She just loved her. We had a wonderful talk with her. Just to say Lauren wants to call her everyday and talk with her. It was so cool to see that. After we got home we smelled like smoke really bad. So just to say I couldn't wait to get in the P.J's 

Tuesday we decided to go out and not use our car. So we walked for a bit to the area we where headed to  and one of our investigators saw us and picked us up and we went to her house for a lesson. It was a lot of fun. After that we saw a few more people and then went home for dinner and then headed out to teach a lesson with Lauren again but the guy never gave us his address. So we just had a lesson with Lauren. 

Wednesday we had exchanges. It was so much fun. Miracle: We went over to see Ms. Margret before exchanges and found out that her power was out and just to say her chair was high in the air. But the sad thing was so was stuck in the air. So we went over to the dollar store and bought some batteries for her chair. Just to say she was able to come down and feel great. She told us that we came at the right time. Just when she needed us. Well we had exchanges and I was with Sister Brown and we stayed in Pooler. It was so much fun. 

Thursday we had Zone Training Meeting and just to say it was wonderful. After lunch Sister North and I got stuck in Traffic which we where in for 1hr. But everything went great. So we went home and saw a few more people. 

Friday was our fun Weekly Planning. After Weekly Planning we went out with Lauren to see M___. She was so happy to see us. We talked our teaching and learning. It was just the best. After that Sister North and I went to our dinner and we had the chance to make our own Pizzas. It was so much fun. After that we helped a family moved in. And guess where they moved from.......UTAH! 

So just to say they drove all the way here. Took them 4 days. They where so happy to see the help they got to unload the truck.( the things that they needed.) Well they where so surprised to see 6 missionaries in the ward. She told me that she was just used to sharing missionaries in the stake. 

Just to say it was fun to unload the truck made me think for a moment that I was home unloading our truck. 

So Saturday was very interesting....

Just to say our lovely Carbon monoxide alarm went off at 3:00 in the morning. Scared me to death. So we didn't know what to do so we called the mission nurse. Just to say she sounded wide awake. So she told us to call the fire department. So we did. So they came over and checked it out. They picked up a .1 and told us that wasn't bad but it should be at 0. 

So they had to check next door to see if they had any in theirs. So the police man went and knocked. They came out and didn't find anything. Well just to say we went back into our place and I just had a horrible feeling inside. So after that Sister Finlinson called us and we told her. She then called President Cottle and he then called us. So just to he asked us to call the savannah Sisters to see if we could come over there. But they didn't anwser their phone. So President told us to grab blankets and go into the car, and lock it. Just to say I thought the car would be nice to sleep it. Just to say I thought wrong. It sure was hard to sleep in the car at 4:30 in the morning. Mom you know me when I am awake; I am awake. 

While I was lying there I prayed really hard that we would have angels with us watching over us.

Just to say I know that I had family watching over me. 

We got told by President to study at the church. So we woke up got ready and then went to the church. The gas man  came so we drove back down and found out everything was fine. 

Also President called us during studies to make sure we where okay. Sister Cottle gave us permission to take a nap because of what happened to us this morning. We where so happy. 

Well just to say the Elders had a baptism and after that we had a dinner with the Creeks and had a wonderful lesson. 

Just to say I was praying so hard that our alarm would not go off again. 

Church was amazing! The spirit was so strong. I loved every sec. of it. 

We taught a few lessons then went home.

Be strong and know that Heavenly Father and  Jesus Christ are there for you. They are just there waiting for you to open the door. 

A New Transfer

I love Mondays!  P-days really are the best!  I met a sister missionary serving in our stake last week who is from Savannah, Georgia.  I told her that my daughter was currently serving in Savannah, Georgia. She laughed and told me that Charlie was serving in her ward.  Small world!

Hey Y'all, 

Well this week was a different week. So how was all Y'all s Easter? Mine was great it just rained all day long. 

Well to get to the week. 

Monday it was Sister Dietz birthday so we had lunch at Bishop's and had dinner at Michyel pope's house. Then we did good byes for Sister Dietz and Sister Poynter. 

It was crazy! 

Tuesday we woke up at 5:30am and left by 6:45am for our 3 hour drive to Macon. So just to say it was so good to see my past companions. So the moment y'all have been waiting for...

My New Companion is Sister North. She is From Ceder City Utah. She has been out for 5 1/2 months. She is awesome. 

So the rest of the day we went out to see members in the ward to meet her. It was just a good day. Also hearing the bombing on the way home was a little scary. 

Wednesday we went out to see some Less actives and investigators. Just to say it was a strange day. We didn't get to see that many people. But we got to see those we needed to. Also we had our missionary correlation as well. Just to say everyone loves making fun of Sister North's name. They just say wait your not Sister North we are in the south. 

But we had a wonderful time. We even went Tracting and met someone who has read the book of Mormon and she has friends who are Mormon. IT was so cool. 

Thursday we went and contacted our referral. Just to say we went up there and he told us not to waste our time and that this was his house. It was a little funny of how he said it. But we tried a few more people around and it ended up time for lunch. So we went back. We ended up trying to see a  family and we went there and we found out that they where about to go to bed. It was sad. 

Friday was our weekly planning. Just to say it was wonderful to go through who we should try this week. Also just to say Sister North had some amazing Ideas to put into the weekly planning. It was a lot of fun. 

Well after that we went out and tried a few people and then we went to dinner at a members. It was so good. Also we went out and tried to see a few more people but no one answered so we went and saw Ms.Margret and we where able to put her on date to be baptized. We asked her if we could help her out with the smoke smell in her house. I asked if we could come and shampoo her carpets and she said yes. It was so excited to help her out. 

Saturday was such a good day. So the night before I was looking at the map to see where we should tract and the Area Bloomingdale popped out. So we went over there. The first door we knocked on a young mother came out and we gave her a book of Mormon to read. She told us we could come back next week. We also gave her our number if she has any questions after that. I don't know why but when I Looked at her there was something about her that stood out. Something good. 

After that we knocked on more doors and then had lunch. Which we brought a sack lunch with us. It was really good. After that we went to a less actives house and we had a great talk. Then after that we had our Cottage meeting with The Creek Family. Which it was so much fun. We got to go on an Easter Egg Hunt. I Really Loved that. Also Lauren's Kids came down. And Just to say her Daughter came right up to me and we had a fun time. I even gave her some of my Easter Eggs and she won for the most eggs. It was so funny. After words we had the General Women's Conference. Just to say it was so good. I loved every sec of it. I loved getting the counsel every 6 months from our leaders. They truly know how to help us out. Well after words a member took us out to sonic to get a milk shake and guess what. They ran out of Ice Cream. It was really sad. But we got shaved ice. 

Sunday was amazing! I loved it. Church was so good. I love when it comes to Easter because sacrament meeting is all center on Him. Well it rained all day. We also got a text from a family and they invited us to Easter Dinner. It was so much fun. They had their friends and family and all of the Missionaries. Just to say her daughter's nickname is Charlie. So that was a little hard not to look when ever she called her name. But just to say the food was great. 

Well we went and saw a few people after words and then came home and got ready for the next day. 

Thought 

Doctrine and Covents 76:22-24

And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives

 For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God.

I am so grateful for Christ Atonement! I know that he died for all of us; so that one day that we may live again. I know that we all go through things that we wish we didn't go through but I know that it is worth it in the  end.  I love my Savior and I can't wait for the day when I can come and give him a big hug and thank him in person for everything he did for me. 

I Love y'all! Have the best day of your entire life. Remember Who you are and what you stand for. 

Also my hair has really grown. I have notice because I take pictures and look at where my name  tag is and there it is covered by my hair. 

Sister CharLynn McCulloch

Remember Him!

Hey Y'all, 

Well this week has been a little different.

So just to say on Monday we went down town and I got a Savannah T-Shirt. And after that we went and ate at the Trailer Park. (Just to say we asked a tour guide where a cheap place was and he told us here. Just to say it wasn't cheap.) But I got a bacon apple pie sandwich. It was so good. 

After that we went to the church where they where playing Nerf gun wars. It was fun to watch. Well after words we went shopping. 

Tuesday was fun. Sister Dietz and I woke up at 6 o'clock and decorated the entire place for Sister Poynter's Birthday. It was so much fun. Just to say at District meeting we had fun decortating the place because it was Elder Benesh's Birthday as well. So we made it work. 

Well after words we played a game then went to lunch. After words we went to Savannah and saw a few people and then came back for dinner at a members for Sister P's birthday. We saw a few people after that and then we had Cake at Lauren's house. Just to say their dog just wanted to play with me the entire time. It was so cute. 

Wednesday was a weird day. We only saw a few people. It must have been spring break or something( it was). There was no one home. But at least we got to see a few people before the day ended. 

Thursday Sister Poynter got sick. So luckly we where doing Weekly planning. WE did it today because we where going to be in Savannah but in Savannah on St. Patrick's Day is the worst. So it was perfect. 

Well just to say while i was waiting for Sister Dietz to get back from Exchanges I started watching the church movies. Just to say I got to the Christmas Movies. It was going to be a very long day. Also we had house inspections as well. It was so crazy. Well I didn't have a green shirt so I put green ribbon and then Sister Dietz saw me and said I could wear one of her green shirts.

After a while Sister Dietz went out with a member and saw a few people. Well Sister Poynter went to sleep and I went and started watching the District video's. I got so bored. Well just to say it is hard to have a companion sick and there is nothing you can do. 

Friday came and we where able to go out. I was so happy to step outside and get some fresh air. Well just to say we went out and taught a few lessons. And then after words helped someone load up a moving truck. Yep mom I was in the truck organizing everything. Making sure everything will fit in there. It was fun. brought memorizes when my family moved from Utah to Nebraska then back to Utah. But it was worth the help. 

After words we went out with a member to see a few people. 

We saw a member who is less active. She was so sweet. She said she had been really tired because she cleaned her floors all day and she still had one room left. We told her we could come and help and she agreed.

Saturday we came with our jeans and T-Shirts to help. When we knocked at the door she said she was joking but we still told her that we  where ready to serve. So she let us in and we cleaned the last room for her. After that we went to a ward activity. After that we went and tried a few people. We had a Cottage meeting with the Creeks and taught a wonderful lesson after words. 

Well The moment you all have been waiting for. We had the Transfer call.... And I am Staying in Pooler and I will be getting a new companion tomorrow. 

Sunday I spoke in Church. A crazy thing happened. A member had a little heart attack and we had to pause Sacrament meeting for a bit. This all happened during Sister Poynter's talk. Then she finished and then I got up. Some how at the end of my talk I slipped in about my experience about how I knew that families can be together forever. 

After Church we found out the member is doing alright and that he was coming home from the hospital. 

After words we went and saw a few people and then we went to the church and had an easter Celebration.  It was wonderful. After that we saw a few more people before bedtime. 

So this morning the Elders came to our place and just to say they came to the door and asked if they can wash their hands. Just to say I had just gotten out of the shower and I put on my clothes really fast( my PJ's) and they put mud all over our car. And then we took pictures after words. But it was very funny at the end. 

Thought this week. 

The Atonement Applies to All of Us.

Isiah 1:18

 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

I hope all of us remember what the true meaning of Easter is. I sure hope you have a wonderful week. I love y'all so much. Thanks for all you do.

Just to say I set out side and felt so much better. Well after dinner we headed back to Pooler and had an amazing lesson with J___. I did the first vision part in the lesson and recited Joseph's experience. After I did that J___ looked at me and said that is so cool that I have that memorized.

After that we went to see a few more people before dinner. Just to say we taught a lesson to the Creeks with 7 missionaries. Just to say it went great. But how ever when it got to mine turn to talk about Joseph Smith's experience I got a little emotional. Which has never happened ever before but I know that the spirit was in the room and was touching those around me.

Big News!!!! It's a trio... Charlie 7 March 2016

Hey all Y'all, 

Well this week has been super exciting!! Well just to say I can't believe time is flying by so fast. 

SO to start out with the week! 

Monday we did our shopping and I walked by some easter candy and had to get me some mini eggs! (I was thinking of you mom) 

We went and had dinner with a member. Sorry I forgot to say Happy Leap Day! It was a pretty good day. 

Tuesday we had our fun District meeting. After District meeting I looked at the phone and saw that we had a missed call from President Cottle. Just to say my heart was beating so fast. 

So we called him back and he said that there was a transfer going on. Just to say I am in a Trio now!! My 4th one. I am so excited! Well my newest Companion is Sister Dietz! She is truly amazing! She has been out for a transfer less then I have. So 11 months! She almost hits her year mark! She is from Utah! The Cool thing is I served with her in the Macon Zone. I couldn't believe that we finally got to be companions. 

So we went up to Savannah and picked her up then came back to Pooler. President told us that we are Covering Savannah and Pooler. (So mom I do get to serve in Savannah!) Well that night we went and saw a few people with Lauren! It was so much fun. 

Wednesday we went out and saw a few people. Just to say it is so cool to be in a trio. We got to teach Charles inside with no problem. We also put him on date to be baptized in the next couple of months. 

Then we went down to Savannah at the Armstrong college and taught an amazing girl there. 

Then we went back to pooler and taught a few more  lessons till we had our mission correlation. 

It was a wonderful evening. 

Thursday we had our weekly planning! It was so much fun planning for 2 Areas in just a couple of hours. Also before Weekly planning we had a lesson with K___. It was really good that we where there. We where able to have the Elders come and give her a blessing. It was just the best! After weekly planning we helped a member with packing. Just to say I have had my shares with Packing. They truly are the best! Also Missionaries are so experienced with packing she called us for help. After dinner we went to Savannah and had an amazing lesson with P______. We introduce the plan of Salvation with him. 

Friday we had a fun 3 hour drive to Macon for Mission Leadership Counsel. Just to say Sister Dietz was a Sister Training Leader in her Zone and so we got pulled into it as well. Also we cover the sisters for the Savannah East and West Zones. Pretty cool right?

Well just to say it was a little sad to walk into the Macon building. Just all the memories I had in there for District meetings, ward activities, etc. 

But things went great! I got to see Sister Foster and so many people that I have gotten to serve around. Just to say it was a really good meeting and I can't wait to tell the missionaries what President Cottle wants them to learn. Then we drove home and got to see a Less active family and talked about faith. It was a lot of fun. 

Saturday we had a fun day. We had an amazing lesson with Ms. Marget. We brought a member who she adores. Then we just went out finding people to teach until dinner. We had a lesson with Penny and then she came out with us for the rest of the evening to teach people. Just to say she is a great member. She told us when we go back that she wants to come back with us. Just to say that is so cool! 

Sunday we went and had an amazing day of spiritual food. Then we went off after church we went out teaching. Just to say it was so much fun. Focusing on the work made me not thinking about how long I had left of the fast. It came to the time to end the fast and I felt just wonderful. Also at dinner we each had our very own tub of ice cream. It was just the best! 

After dinner we had a member come out with us to see some more people to try. We met some interesting people along the way. There was a family that say us and then said" Stranger Danger" It made us laugh in the car. Then we tried a few more people and then said a prayer in the car and there was a guy standing outside of it and we talked to him for a bit. It was cool and scarey at the same time. He told us to come back during the day time when there are kids out playing and when we can park the car and walk the place and talk to people. It was so funny. 

Well just to say crazy things are happening! Well Also Saturday I hit the Mark that most missionaries look forward to. 6 months left. Just to say I am filled with fixed emotions. There are times I can't wait to go home and there are times I don't' want to. I Just want to stay on the field.

Thought: 

2 Nephi 1:23
Awake, my sons; put on the armor of righteousness. Shake off the chains with which ye are bound, and come forth out of obscurity, and arise from the dust.

I y'all have a wonderful week. 

I sure do love you and wish the best of luck for y'all. 

Have the best day of your entire life.

Be the kind of person that when your feet hit the floor; the devil says "Crud she's (he's) awake.
