39th Email: 4th Week in Milton

Hello! I hope you're all having a superb week. Life is wonderful in West Virginia. Wild and wonderful! The days are hot and humid, and the nights are cool and full of fireflies. I've never seen a firefly before and they are so cool!!

So we had MLC (mission leadership council) on Tuesday, and it was awesome as usual. I learned a lot and was really uplifted! It was President and Sister Pitt's last MLC, which made it super sad. The Pitts really have put their whole hearts into the last three years, and it's very apparent. Every time President Pitt talks about how much he loves all of his missionaries and how much he wants us all to be totally converted for the rest of our lives, he gets really emotional, and you can just feel his love. He is such a great man and a spiritual giant.

On Friday we had a super fun zone meeting. It was a great big role "play." We were supposed to teach about how in lessons we invite our investigators to do things, they commit, and we follow up. So, we decided to turn it into a three act play! It was so awesome!! The zone leaders were the missionaries, I was the investigator, and Sister Wines was the director. The zone leaders would give a poor example of inviting, or following up, and then Sister Wines would yell, "CUT!" Then we would discuss with the rest of the missionaries what went wrong and what they could have done better, and then the play would resume with a better example from the zone leaders. That would be the end of one act, and during the "intermission," the other missionaries would practice the things they had learned. It was really fun. We made popcorn, handed out homemade perforated tickets and programs, and even had an orchestra playing mood music as the audience walked in and the actors got ready and a fanfare as the play was about to begin! (Sister Morgan and Sister Ostler played some hymns on the flute and violin) It seriously was so fun. I hope all the missionaries enjoyed it as much as we did.

Life is good. I'm learning a TON, and having a blast. :) That's basically a mission in a nutshell!

Love,

Sister Myers
