Sisterhood,
    I just love you all so much! As my time at this awesome place in provo utah at the MTC comes to a close I have so many bittersweet feelings and I hope I can express them the way I feel.
    As Elder Holland says in a talk you will probably hear when you get here "don't miss a minute" honestly! these will be awesome times and there will be hard times, but don't even miss it. Soak in every minute because all of those times will become memories. All those memories will become sweet- even the hard times. you will absolutely love it here.
   It is amazing all the thing you will learn here. It is amazing what you learn about yourself, others, the gospel, loving people, missionary work, ah the list goes on and on and on.. wow! Live it up just love every moment!
    The gospel is true I knkow it is with everything I have and everything I am! continue with the amazing faith you all have and have faith in your mission. I wish i had more time. i love you all my bestest friends ever.. beter yet my sistas! Love you!

Sisterhood!

     dinc thanks for your adorable ltr about nick that was so cute. 

    skye i have been wondering & praying for you.. what is going on?!

     Tar how is tiff & how is the concert/piece coming?

AH! can you believe that pres monson talked about my temple! It is so cool! I love it here so much! There are definitely discouraging, uplifting, humbling & proud moments all in 1 day. O my goodness. It is quite the rollercoaster but every emotion is magnified so much it is crazy. I love the spirit here! It is such an amazing opportunity to serve & my prayers are honestly answered everyday! we are so blessed to have the gospel in our lives.

     

to prep:

-use the atonement in your life everyday

-be open to your weaknesses & start working on them

-study & try to find scrip that you think of it will help in teach esp. when you switch over to spanish

-LOVE yourself your comp your dist the gospel your mission

-continue increasing your faith

I know you'll be amazing missionaries (if it is whats right) but don't wait until the MTC to start preping. I love you all so much

The first from Sorella Jones!! - March 31, 2011

Dearest Sisterhood!
     Ciao! How are you? Thank you so much for your Dearelders! I love them. It is so fun to hear from you. It is so hard to write because there honestly is no time whatsoever. That being said I LOVE IT HERE!
     This is honestly the most amazing experience ever. It is definitely hard but growing pains hurt right? I feel like it is a huge rollercoaster & tons of my weaknesses are laid flat out on the table. But that is the beauty of the atonement. We see our weaknesses so that we go to Christ to make them strong. You all are going to love it here. Just make sure you don't try to so it all on your own. I tried that my first few days but Jesus Christ suffered so that we don't have to do it all on our own.
     The spirit is so strong here & without a doubt my favorite experience is singing called to serve w/2500 missionaries. It was so amazing. You will love it.
     I love my companion & I know that she is perfect for me right now. She helps me laugh and helps me have so much fun. We laugh a lot... then the same day we will have a breakdown & cry. It is so cool that we can support eachother in that time. Maybe ask my mom to forward my emails to you? That would help I think! O & if you see Cheri Peacock tell her thanks for writing me & maybe tell her how I am doing. I just honestly can't write to everyone.
     You are going to love it here! You all are in my prayers. Keep preparing because the people here are amazing. There are so many spiritual giants! It is amazing.
     I love you

PS I saw Elder Presley the day before he left but he is doing so great.. O & I saw Megan Sparks, Karissa Rossander, Laura Grow from SUU. O & Dinc, Andrew Proctor is in my district :) We are basically family. He is amazing & makes me think of you and Park City a lot! I love you Cindy Tara, Skye- O & Annie too
     xo mwah!

Time to say goodbye!!

Sorella Jones gave her farewell address in Kaysville, UT on March 13, 2011. She will be reporting to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) on Wednesday, March 16. She had SO much family support and lots of loving friends there to hear her speak. Jeni did a beautiful job. She is going to turn Italy upside-down! Good luck Jen, WE LOVE YOU!!!

Write her here until May 17.

(she prefers that you write her via dearelder.com! The easiest way to send letters. You write it like an email and they print it, seal it, and send it that very day!)

And when she's out in the field, Come May 18...

Hermana Prince will have two incredible farewells. One will be in Centerville on May 22 and the other will be in St. George on June 19. She will then report to the MTC on Wednesday, June 22. Mark your calendars!!

Hermana Stephens: this Hermanita will be speaking on Mother's day, May 8, at 9am in Park City Utah! It's the noticeable white church right off the Jeremy Ranch exit off I-80. Brunch afterwords :)
*note.. although she leaves May 18 for the MTC, the farewell will be the last time you can see her, for she will be leaving the next day for her Ballroom Tour until the 17th. Aprovechate!

Hermana Judd: (coming soon...)

Let's talk.

Can we talk about how funny it was when Tara snuck a peek at her call and saw the "map" with water, and told us ALLL about it???
Then she found it it was the water of the baptismal font on the front cover of the packet they give you.
BAAAAHAHA.
-h.s.

Hermana Tara Prince

drumroll please........
........

Hermana Tara Prince has been called to the California San Fernando Mission, Speaking Spanish!!!!! She reports to the MTC June 22, 2010.
The people of San Fernando are in for a treat to have Hermana Prince's light shine there!
No doubt she will be an incredible missionary.
It was such a treat for Hermana Stephens and Sorella Jones to be with her as she opened her call this past Sunday.

So that's all folks the last of the sisterhood has a call.

journey to the past

What are the chances that 5 future sister missionaries would find each other 3 years prior to serving and become best friends? well we sure did!!!!!!
