Hello momma, daddy, and family!

Bonjour,

Well today is our P Day and we have set up our password someone has already used lindsey_north so i guess there was another one previous to. So it is just sisternorth@myldsmail.net. Okay where to begin. Lets start at the first. We got here Wednesday and we were running from one meeting to the next, it was pretty crazy. They got us established and try to make us feel as welcomed as possible. We met our Mission President, President Bailey, He is a very nice guy and concerned with all of us. I was made Coordinating sister. We went to a lot of orientation and got familiar with our surroundings. My companion is sister Peterson, and she is great. We are progressing great, and we both work hard so it makes it all that much better. I love her lots. There were less meetings toward the end of the week because on
Saturday we had the chance to do service and our first gym period. We also taught our first lesson, scary but good. Sunday was very good, I had a lot of meetings because of my calling, and relief society was so good, sister Dalton from YM presidency. She did amazing and you could feel her love for us so strongly. later at the fireside that night we heard from Stephen Allen, a member of the missionary training leadership. He went through Preach My Gospel amazingly, every time we hear a speaker they give us a new challenge so we have been working on those challenges, like memorizing chapter headings, the articles of faith, smiling, praying, and testifying everyday. The progress you can make is amazing. We are striving to better every part of our lives. Tuesday was the most amazing talk! We heard from Elder David A. Bednar, and it was powerful. We were in the choir, and honestly his talk just filled you with the spirit. What an amazing spirit. Here is a spiritual story: Sister Peterson and I were waking up sick in the morning but fine the rest of the day. So we got Priesthood healing blessings Monday and I woke up Tuesday feeling a lot better, however, she was still very sick. I was worried about her, so I took her in a room and a began a fast in her behalf. We went about our normal routine, and we taught our first investigator lesson in the TRC. Then we had that devotional (with Elder Bednar) that night. The next day we woke up and we were both healed. I know that the power of fasting is real. Thank you dad for your letter, I received it at lunchtime where I read that part to Sister Peterson to show her where I had received my testimony of fasting. I know that it worked and that the Lord healed her. I was so excited! Yesterday we changed our outline of the first lesson again (this is like number 5) to add more questions to help the investigator with understanding. It was powerful I felt the spirit so strong and I know the others did too. It was amazing. We played volleyball at gym as a district it was awesome. I still have my serve and they seemed to be impressed! It was one of our best days here--we were laughing, and having fun as a district in volleyball. The other two sisters are so fun, Sister Burns and Sister Winchel both have cool stories why they are here. I will have to tell you about them later. And now today is Thursday and we are trying to be obedient so that we can have the Spirit with us, so that we might be touch the people we talk to at the referral center; this will be our first time there! I am excited about all that have been learning. Thank you for your love and support. I have received many packages and letters. Thank you! I love you so much. You are all so important to me. I testify that this church is true and that our Heavenly Father knows our needs and will answer our prayers if we ask. We have been praying constantly and testifying just the same. The Spirit can honestly be a constant companion. I love you so much! Take care and I will be sending a letter too. With all my love. Sister North
