Albany, Georgia- 27 June 2016

Hey All y'all, 

Well things are going great here in Albany Georgia!! We went to this ladies house and we helped her get  to know her I Pad better. We watched spiritual videos it was so amazing. She told us this what what she needed. Just to say Sister Walker and I put 3 people on date. It was so cool, because sister Walker knew they are ready. So when she asked them the question the mom just started crying. You could really feel the spirit in the room. 

So on Tuesday we had a wonderful meeting with President and Sister Cottle. The sad thing was it was their last meeting with us. After words we got to give them a hug. When I hugged President Cottle it was like getting a hug from my dad. It was so touching. I will never forget it. Of course after hugging the Sisters were just crying. But we did take pictures before the hugs. Well just to say things are going to go well. 

You want to learn something new. Think of a Kit Kat. So the word Kat stands for (Gospel reason) 

Keep the Commandments

Always Remember Him

Take his name upon us. 

So cool Right. Learned it from Sister Walker. 

I just want to say.. There is another McCulloch out!! Shout out to my younger Brother Elder (Jack) McCulloch. He left to the MTC on June 22, 2016. So cool to think he is out. So many times I thought of like; "Jack is doing this right now or He is at a meeting, etc. 

So Just to say we went to Blackly that day as well. Just to say it is was amazing to have a member come out with us. It was about 50ish miles one way. So crazy. But hey it was so worth it. Well things went great. we saw a few people and taught this family of all girls the Plan of Salvation. I really love teaching this Lesson. It really strengthns my Testimony because I know I will see my Dad again. That he is doing the same thing what I am doing. I also know that they watch over us. Helping us along the way to make those right choice; so we can come back to them again. 

You want to know what is crazy. Sister Walker and I planned for week 3. Wow time sure does fly by.  Also it is getting hotter and hotter. So the summer in Georgia is coming back. I sure do hope things go well.

I hope y'all have a wonderful week. Thanks for all you do. Have the best day of your entire life. You are amazing!! Remember Who you are and what you stand for!

Happy Memorial Day!

Hey all y'all, 

This week went by a little too fast! So just to say I am so grateful for those who have fought for us. I always have on my mind my Mom's Grandpa Jack Anderson and his brother William Anderson and so many others.

Last week was fun. We where able to have this amazing meal. A Mexican Meal! (Mom you are going to love it)! :) Also the little girl( Charlie) was crazy before dinner. When it got close to the end she was a sleep. It was so cute. 

Later that week we showed up to someone house and they opened the door and said it's the sisters! We get talking and they told us they really needed us at that time. It was so cool. That happened a lot this week. 

We had exchanges this week! I was with Sister Pilimia! (one of my MTC companions). Just to say exchanges always turn out with your plans following through. But it went well. We saw those who we needed to see. 

We had the Pray for M.E. with a couple and they got so excited for it. It was so cool of how one simple message can effect someone to act upon it. 

Well we helped someone move in! Finally got to do my part of the move mom but someone else. I got super excited when she told us we could put her kitchen together. She even told us that she has never had someone put it together and it is usually her job; but she was okay with us doing it. 

Well after a while she told us to make a cake for her husband's birthday on Sunday. He didn't know about the cake so it was going to be a surprise for him. So when we get there he opened the door and said "You lied to me honey." We where laughing and having a good time with it. 

Also we had like 3 dinners on Sunday. A less active feed us food when we came over. Then we had the birthday dinner and then the elders surprised us with a dinner by a family who is from Brazil. Their food was so good. Pictures below.

So we didn't email yesterday so we hanged out with the missionaries in Hinesville. It was so much fun. We did some sports outside. Yep my nose got a little sunburn. But it was worth it. 

Can't believe May is over and June is on its way. 

Also we met a guy in Walmart and he gave us his number. Explains picture..

I am so grateful that I am here out on my mission at this time. I'm So grateful for Jesus Christ! He has done so much for all of us. I don't know where I would be with out him. He is truly the best. 

I sure do love all y'all.  I hope you have the best day of your entire life!

It will all work out! Charlie- May 23, 2016

Hey all Y'all, 

Well how is everyone?

Things are going great. 

Well I forgot to put this in my email but last week while I was emailing y'all this strange guy who was sitting next to me. He gave us his number and wanted to learn more about the church. Said he had been taught before. Well later he was looking at my screen and reading my emails. Later that night we asked the elders if they had his progress record and guess what? They said he was dropped because he had a crush on the past sisters. Sister North then told me he probably had a crush on me. I didn't like that. That night we found a cream lizard in our house. We caught it and put it outside. 

Well later on that day we washed the car and waxed it for Zone Conference. While we waxed it some nice ants wanted to hang out on my shoes then my feet. So I have some nice bite marks on my feet. We then went to see a Less active after p-day and they where dancing in the kitchen singing away. quote from her " Why don't you go sit on a stove to melt your cold cold heart."  It was so funny. Sister North and I just started laughing. 

This week we saw a lot of less actives. Which was okay. It was a lot of fun. Getting to know them a lot more. A good part was when it poured down rain we were able to get in a couple of homes. They didn't want us to get all wet. 

Well you will never believe it but I got to wash a dog in a skirt. I was so much fun. One of the less actives we see she is an animal lover and she was in pain and she told us that her dog needed a bath. I just said," we can give her a bath." She told us " Really?" So we did it. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. 

Then Friday we had our amazing Zone Conference. I just loved it. There were many things said that I am really going to apply.  Also I got to see Elder and Sister Finlinson. Forysth might become a branch!!!! I am so excited. Can't wait! Well that night we went out with a member and saw a few new move ins. Then after words she took us to applebees. Then we saw an investigator and sat outside and had a good lesson on the book of Mormon. 

Saturday we had our ward activity. We had a lot of German and Polish food. Loved it. Well things went well the rest of the week. 

Well I sure hope y'all have a wonderful week. 

Thought: It will all work out!! 

 

I sure do love y'all. Have the best day of your entire life. 

The Big NEWS...

Hey All Y'all, 

Well things have been crazy! 

So you probably already notice that I changed the style of my email again. But hey it works!

Well I will get to the point you have been waiting for. 

So I am staying in Pooler for another Transfer!!! Woot! Woot! I get to be with Sister North Again!!!

Just to say no one in my District left. It is so cool! 

Well we played an activity on Monday with the zone and just to say I think I might of hurt my knee in the process. 

This week was pretty much like last week. We have been trying to see our investigators much as possible. 

But this up coming transfer is going to be worth it. We are going to find those who are searching.  

Well this week we got to do an exchange on Sunday. So Guess what, I got to go to Statebro for an entire day. left at 8:15 am and got back almost 10 pm.

I had so much fun. Just to say we got some nice rain. Lucky we weren't walking in it. I was so grateful for that. 

The funny part the ward thought they switched sisters over night. 

Back ground story the STL where split up and they had a meeting yesterday; So they split the pooler sisters to help with their companions to have a companion. 

Well this morning I was studying a wonderful book and In Alma 32:21: And now as I said concerning faith—faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true. 

I learned that you don't need perfect knowledge to have faith. How cool is that. Way Cool! 

Also this week we helped someone move from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor. Just to say we thought we where packing up boxes for them. We thought wrong. So we only showed up in our missionary clothes and guess what after we where done I thought I was going to melt. I was so sticky and felt really gross. But the good thing was we had a missionary meeting so I didn't care about what they thought I looked like at that point. 

I sure do love all Y'all. Also I sure can't wait to talk with my family on Sunday. It is going to be the best! 

I hope y'all have the best day of your entire life. 

Thought: 

Isaiah 49: 16 

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

Have a wonderful week. Love Y'all. If any of y'all have any questions just ask me! :)

Also I was told that I am the oldest Sister in the mission. So wired and strange at the same time. 

Remember Him...He has been there before

Hey Y'all, 

Well this week was a very strange week. We had a lot of lessons with less actives. A lot of our investigators weren't home. But that is okay. We will catch them another time. 

Well just to say this transfer has gone by so fast. I can't believe it. I don't know why but this week has been a little hard this week. But there is an amazing poem that I got from one of my companions that says He has been there before. I was reminded a lot this past week of how we haven't had that many lessons or people won't talk to us; he had that happened to him so many times. I am so grateful for my Savior. He truly has helped me out in so many ways. He converts me when I need it. 

I am so grateful for the things I go through. If I never had them I don't know how I would learn from them. 

Well this past week was Sister North's Birthday. So during exercise I came up to her with a paper that had a list of foods that I would make her for breakfast. She laughed and picked French toast with a fruit cup. It was so much fun making it. After a while I did the same thing with her for lunch. She had a pizza. Well I woke up and played the birthday song on our piano and I decorated the place as well.It was so much fun. One of the funny parts was I put 20 candles in a bowl of rice and sang happy Birthday and then she blew out the candles. 

Friday it was super crazy. We planned for week 6. After dinner we had a big rain storm. Just to say we made it in time just before It poured rain down. 

Saturday we had our little cottage meeting at the Creeks. We had breakfast for dinner. It was so good. After we went to a RC house and guess what their cat scratch me on the nose. I have a nice mark on my nose. 

Church was amazing. We had Ward conference. Just to say the Stake President here reminds me of my Stake President. But there where amazing things talked about. President Odiorne talked about how we need to look at the alarms around. Be aware of those around us; who are searching for help. He told us we need to be a good member not the best member. 

One thing I liked was he had us look back 5 years ago. Think of what we where doing then. And then think of you now. How are you doing? It makes me really think of what we really take for granted. He then went on and told us that we are all here together to strengthen each other. That is so cool and so true. We are all here to strengthen each other to come closer to our Father in Heaven. 

I love how we have the opportunity to serve those around us and make those sacrifices to make it work. I know if we do this the lord will provide a way for us. And bless us for our efforts. 

Now is the time to look around us and help those. Satan is doing all he can to make sure we can not feel those spiritual promptings. That is his goal. We got to listen and make sure we don't let him win. 

I sure do love all y'all. And I will let you know next week of how things go on Saturday night. But I know the Lord will put me where I am needed at that time. Wuh Ju! 

Thought for the week: 

John 15:16

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

I hope y'all have the best day of your entire life.

up coming this week on the weather 

it sure is going to get hot. 

Just to say the hair will be up. 

Love y'all
