We're A Trio!

Hi Family and friends!!!!

Wow, I think our family will be double the size when I get home. I can’t believe how many babies just keep coming :) But I am so excited for all of you! Tanner and Lexi.. Congratulations! I about DIED when I saw the picture of your little family in your ultimate uniforms. Good luck with parenting :) And Tyler and Breiyon. Holy cow, I did not realize that little Ty Ty is already four years old. How did that even happen? I love hearing about your busy but fun schedule with three little kids. Dallas and KC… you're almost home!!!! Wow, to me, that was sooo fast, but I’m sure it felt like forever for you guys. I’m so happy for you. Sounds like the rest of the family is good also. Since I know how we are at our house, I’m sure everyone’s in denial that school is coming up soon and back into the routine of homework, jobs and busy schedules. Everyone looks so big, I can’t even handle it!!

Well, sorry I didn’t get out a long email last week. It was sure a crazy one! There were lots of problems in our zone and man...  I don’t ever think I’ve been so tired in my life. For about a week we had two extra Hermanas living with us because one was struggling really bad. It was a team effort to help her, while trying to do all we could to keep the spirit in our apartment. But after a week of lots of praying and working with our mission president, the one sister is getting the help that she needs and now we’re in a trio!! Can I say CRAZY FUN?? This week has been completely different from the last! It’s Hermana Hermann, Hermana Israelsen and I together and I really feel like I’m able to completely enjoy each day. Hermana Isrealsen is from Alpine Utah and is about the same age that I am. She reminds me a lot of aunt Kim and just is the sweetest, kindest person that I know. She’s gone through a lot in the last change. A LOT. 

In these last two weeks I think I’ve learned more about Christlike love and charity than I ever have in my life. Especially with people who don’t give it back. My companions are such big examples to me of what Christ would do in every situation. Something that I've been thinking about a lot is the phrase... “Everyone is fighting a battle that you don’t know about."

After we got things figured out this week, I’ve been able to give lots of prayers of gratitude and know that THE LORD WATCHES OVER HIS MISSIONARIES. He really knows each one of us. Being in the middle of trials can seem like its never going to come to an end.... but HE does know exactly what we need to grow, and that what’s happened these last two weeks. We’ve grown. A lot.

This week I also realized how much I love my sector and the members here. Changes are in a few weeks and I don’t even want to think about the fact that I may have to leave. I have seen changes in so many people. It's so easy to love someone after praying for, serving and teaching them about the gospel. 

This week we’ve been working in three sectors, because of the changes we’ve had. It’s a lot to do, but we’ve relied even more on receiving revelation from the Lord and using every second that we have to find and teach. I have seen so many miracles with my two companions. We’ve found so many people that were so much more than a coincidence... and I know it’s because the LORD wants to bless us. We are weak on our own (literally), but so strong as we work with Him.

I hope you all have a fantastic week!!!

Thank you for your love and support!

Hermana Yorgason
