44th Email: 9th Week in Milton

What a great week! We had a lot of meetings this week...MLC with the new mission president and his wife on Tuesday, zone meeting on Thursday, and a "get-to-know-the-Salisburys" meeting on Friday. President and Sister Salisbury are amazing! They are full of enthusiasm and excitement, and they already love all the missionaries so much. I know that they are supposed to be here. The way President Salisbury talked about the mission made it seem like he'd been here forever and knew exactly what was going on with everything. It was very obvious that the mantle of mission president has been placed on his shoulders, and he is already receiving revelation for us as missionaries. And Sister Salisbury is just the sweetest thing. She never served a mission, and was terrified to come, but she is so full of confidence and trust in the Lord. They are both great and I'm excited to serve with them. :)

Sister Boldrin and I have had a great week! We've learned a lot and had many adventures. The other day we went out to Hamlin, which is a city in our area that is about 45 minutes away, so we don't get out there too often. We felt the need to go, however, and we met some great people out there. On the way home, we learned a very valuable lesson: You can't always trust the GPS. Haha Sister Garmin (the GPS) told us to go down this road to get to a main road, and so we did. The road got more and more narrow, and after about two miles it turned into a dirt path barely wide enough for a horse. Welp! That's not gonna work! So we turned around and headed back. I can't complain though, because if it weren't for the GPS I would definitely be totally and completely lost 99% of the time. Ultimately the GPS is a gift and a crutch.

Anyways, life is pretty grand. I love being a missionary! Heavenly Father is helping us SO much because we are so imperfect.

Love ya! Take...luck!

Love,
Sister Myers

P.S. This is one of Sister Salisbury's favorite verses. D&C 84:88: "And whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up." When we talk to strangers on the street, there are angels around us. Who might those angels be? Perhaps this stranger's deceased family members who want this person to have the gospel? Who knows! That's a pretty cool thought President Salisbury shared with us.
