Feliz Natal!!!

I cant send pictures this week because the computer I am using won't let me!

This week was great! I will just talk about the highlights because I don't have that much time today! 

Monday night we went over to see Eva, one of our progressing investigators, and she was glowing! One of the ward members had called her and talked to her and it made her sooooo excited for her baptism! It is so great seeing the happiness the Gospel has brought into her life and it was so cool seeing how much a ward member can effect an investigator positively. The Gospel has brought her so much joy and she is getting baptized tomorrow! We are so excited for her! 

Christmas Eve the Pinto family was moving from their house to their Grandparents house and we were helping them. They don't have a lot, but this lady walked by and asked for food and without hesitation Irma Pinto went and filled a bag full of all of the food she had in her pantry! It was incredible to watch her give when she doesn't even have a lot. 

Then Irma Pinto came with us to teach an investigator and on the way there she told me her conversion story. She told me about how she saw two Sister's and two Elder's on a bus and she saw that they had a light and she said to herself that she wanted to be like them, but she was too scared to talk to them. That really hit me. Sometimes I am too scared to talk to people because I don´t know the language that well, but some people might be just as scared to talk to me and that helped me realize the importance of forgetting myself and my fears and just talking to everyone because there might be that one person that sees the light that we have and is too scared to talk to us and if I don't open my mouth I might miss them! In the end she told us that the next day on the train the Sister sat by her and gave her a Book of Mormon. I loved hearing that story! It gave me that little push that I needed to remind myself to forget my fears!

Well, Christmas was amazing! We went Christmas caroling and got a lot of doors closed in our faces, but it was still so great to be sharing and teaching this Gospel and remembering our Savior on Christmas! I love you all and have a happy new year!:)

Love,

Sister Sampson

Christmas Miracles!!!!

What a week! Something I have learned is there are miracles everyday we just have to look for them!:) 

We taught one of our investigators Eva and she committed to be baptized January 1st! Hopefully everything goes as planned, but she seems so excited! We are so happy for her!

On Tuesday we had our District Meeting in Povoa. It is an hour away and we only have two other elders in our district. Haha we are tiny, but it was fun. 

( I just need to tell you that last week Claire sheepishly mentioned to us that she lost the brand new camera that we had just sent her in the MTC before she left.  She said when she was on the metro her very first day going to their apartment she lost it. She thought it fell out of her bag or something.  She felt terrible about it).

Wednesday a miracle happened! We went to Porto because Sister Cook is a Sister Training Leader and had a meeting. So, I went with another Sister, Sister Stewart for the day. We went to her area in Porto and it was cool to see more of the mission. We had some pretty good rejections that day, but my favorite one was this cute old lady walked out of her house to talk to us and the second we said we were missionaries she started yelling, "No no no!" and ran away as fast as she could! We have learned to laugh at these experiences or else we would be really sad haha. It was pretty funny. We just have this awesome message that can help their lives and we can´t wait to share with them and then they just run away from us. Then that night when Sister Cook and I were getting on the bus to go back to Viana the bus driver said to another man, "Are those the girls?" Sister Cook asked them what they were talking about and they asked us if one of us lost a camera last Wednesday night!? WHAT!! No way! They had my camera! The Lord answers prayers!:) That was as miracle!

Thursday was the day of rain! That is all I remember from this day! Haha. It has been really nice weather until thursday and it just rained and rained and rained and we were soaked and it was awesome! So fun! I love the new adventures each day brings!

Friday! We taught this investigator Luiza and her son Luis. Last time we were there we didn't even get to share our lesson because Luis asked question after question about our church and so after two hours we asked if we could come back to teach them.... haha so this time we asked if we could teach and then he ask his questions after and it totally worked. They were so interested in what we were saying! We taught them the first lesson! They were so curious! Then we invited them to read the BOM and come to church and to the Branch Christmas party and they were so excited to come! Except Luiza couldn´t come to church cuz she had work... They were so interested with missionary work and asked each of us why we chose to serve a mission. So we both were able to bare our testimony about why we sacrificed everything to come. I felt the spirit so strong and I loved being able to tell them that I sacrificed being away from my family so that I could serve and love them and bring this beautiful message about how families can be together forever and we can return home to our Heaven Father because of our Savior and the Atonement. It was amazing!:)

Saturday was the branch Christmas party and we pretty much had to plan it with the Pinto family and we had to pass out the invitations, decorate, bring some food, and get everyone there, oh and plan what we would be doing. So saturday was a whole lot of running around getting everyone to the party and improvising because the projector wasn´t there and so we couldn´t watch the Christmas Devotional. It turned out great though! We did the nativity scene and then we had a picture of Jesus and we all passed it around and said what we were going to give to Jesus this year and we played games and food and we had about 5 investigators there and a few inactives! So it worked out great and the spirit was so strong!:)

Sunday! Man, we have this joke now that instead of putting sunday shoes on our packing list for the mission we need running shoes... hahaha. We left at 8 and ran around until 9:30 trying to get everyone to church. We got Eva and her daughter there and then we ran to get ana there, but while we were running to get her we turned the corner and there was Luis walking down the street on his way to church! it was perfect timing! it was a miracle! He told us he was waiting for us to call, but then just decided to try to walk there even though he didn´t exactly know where it was... we were shocked! it was crazy. we told him where it was and ran to get ana, but she was sick and could´t come. then we ran back to the church. Luis loved church! during our gospel principles class he took the gospel principle book and read the whole thing. he stopped listening to the lesson and just read. he read all about baptism and then he took the book home with him so he could read more! it was insane! he is awesome! I cant wait to teach him more!

Well there was so much more that happened this week, but those were just a few of the highlights. This week I just felt my love for the Savior increase so much! He gave us the greatest gift of all! He loves us so much and I know that for a fact! Have a great week and a Merry Christmas! I love you all! Keep smiling! Don't forget to say your prayers! Bejinios!

Love,

Sister Sampson:)

First week in Portugal! What a week!!!

WOW! this week has been amazing! i am just going to start from the beginning!

Monday morning we had to be at the travel office at 4:20 am. we took the front runner and trax to the airport and it snowed! so that was exciting to see one last snow. we had time in the slc airport and the Chicago airports to talk to our families! that was great i loved talking to my family! the plane ride to Germany was so long and there was some crazy turbulence. luckily sister kunz, sister mavy, and i all got to sit by each other. we started giggling during the turbulence and one of the elders kept getting mad at us cuz he was so scared! haha it was funny. then we flew to Porto! when we were walking on to the plane in Germany to get to our spots i could feel the spirit so strong. all the people were looking at us and our name tags and i knew that these are the people the Lord has been preparing for the gospel and for us to teach! My eyes were filled with tears because i could feel the spirit so strongly. we arrived in Portugal to a loving mission president and wife. they are so nice! they drove us to this nice hotel and we were able to sleep and eat. they gave us money to go to McDonalds. how ironic. my first meal in Portugal was from McDonalds. haha. we had a meeting that night at the mission presidents house and they fed us pizza hut and ice cream. he talked to us and while he was talking his cute wife tickled my back and played with my hair. I felt at home:) i am in good hands mom!

Wednesday we had a training with some of the missionaries and the mission president! it was helpful and prepared us for the field! then around 5 we were assigned our new companions! sister cook is mine! she is incredible! she is so obedient, hardworking, and full of the spirit. when we are with the investigators and ward members you can tell how much love she has for them. seriously i have been sooo blessed to have her as my trainer! and we get a long great! we are basically the same person. it is crazy! i love her! 

so we left with all of my luggage and got on the metro. we were getting off at this one stop and the doors started to close as sister cook was getting off and i was still on the metro. we tried to get the doors to open, but it wasn't working! we both had this look of panic on our faces. i mouthed to her that i would get off at the next stop. then the metro started going again. there i was by myself in a different country, i didn't know the language, no way to communicate to anyone and  i had these huge suitcases. I got off at the next stop and waited. i was thinking to myself i should be scared right now, but i wasn't one little bit. i could feel that the lord was with me and he was protecting me and on the bright side i got to see this beautiful river and bridge and the moon was gorgeous! after awhile i started to get worried that she didn't see what i said, but in the elevator before we got in the metro she gave me the cards that we give to people and she was talking to a lady and showed her that our number was on the back! wow what a miracle! the next train showed up and she was on it. we gave each other big hugs and started laughing and talked about how that was never going to happen again!

miracle after miracle happened this week. we were teaching one of our investigators Ana and while we were teaching her, her sister who wasn't really interested told us that she wants to stop smoking and be baptized on the 31st. we were like what??? of course! she also told us that her mom wants to too! and Ana wants to get baptized as soon as possible! this is crazy because sister cook told me the mom and sister weren't that interested before. so we invited them to come to church this Sunday. we were having stake conference in Porto which is an hour away and no one has cars. they agreed. then sister cook and i were like oh no... now we need to find someone to drive us. right after we left we prayed telling Heavenly Father thank you and asking him to help us find a way to get them to church. then we got a phone call that we have a car going! yay! turns out a miracle happened and we got 7 investigators to church this Sunday! Ana, Mina (Ana's mom), Janet (Ana's sister), Laura (Ana's other sister)! we got that family there and more! it was a miracle! they all want to be baptized, but they have a lot to learn and pray that the mom can stop drinking coffee and that Janet will be able to stop smoking. they are an amazing family! they are all going to be baptized the first week of January if everything goes well! 

the stake conference was so great and everything they needed to hear. Elder Kearon spoke about how he was converted and how he learned that he needed to act on the things that the missionaries were telling him to do! it was amazing! he also talked about how all of our joy comes from Christ and how we can still have joy even through hard times because we have the Savior. i loved it! all of our investigators went up and shook his hand! he shook my hand and asked if he could get my moms number so he could call her and tell her that i am safe:) he is amazing and he spoke English and then had someone translate it. I was so happy cuz i actually knew what was going on. i wish i could tell you more, but i don't have a lot of time and so much happens everyday i don't know how to condense it down! i see miracles after miracles and i have only been here for not even a week!

i love it here! the people are amazing and so nice! i stand out a lot! they tell me that i look like a barbie haha. it is hilarious. they love helping me with my Portuguese. i have learned that this is the Lords work and he is preparing these people to hear this beautiful message. i love this gospel and we are so blessed to have it in our lives! I love you all!​​​

Good bye MTC! You've been good to me:)

WOW. I can't believe I have been in the MTC for 6 weeks! I also can't believe that I leave to Portugal on Monday! I am so excited! This is going to be awesome! This week has been muito bem! It has felt so long though! I don't really have much to say but I just want to bare my testimony. I know without a doubt this church is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know that Heavenly Father loves me and he cares about me. I know that Jesus Christ atoned for my sins and through the atonement I can repent and become clean. I know that if I live righteously I can return to my Heavenly Father and live with my family again. I am so excited to be able to share this happy message with the people in Portugal! I love being a missionary and I love being a representative of Christ. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Te ama muito!

Com amor,

Sister Sampson

Best week ever!

I feel like I think that every week was the best week ever, but this one really was!:) every week just keeps getting better and better!:)

Well family I hope that you had so much fun on Thanksgiving and on Dad's bday! Thank you so much for the package! It made my whole week great! And I loved all the dear elders I got from you guys too! Shout out to Tadd and Julie who sent me a package. I loved it! And so did Sister Bastian! I really appreciated it:) They are so nice!

This week was amazing! I will just talk about the highlights though. On Tuesday we had an amazing devotional. Sister Marcia Nielson spoke about how her husband was called as an Area Seventy and she always had to speak with him. She told us that she always felt nervous! She felt like she lived in fear and always felt nervous to speak. Then she talked about how one time she had this realization that we just need to trust Heavenly Father and how Heavenly Father has been training you your whole life for these moments of sharing the Gospel whether it be when teaching a lesson, giving a talk, or just talking to a friend about the Gospel. All we had to do is trust the spirit and we will be prompted to say what we need to. We are always having to do thing out of our comfort zone, but we can do anything with the Lord on our side:) Then her husband Brent H. Nielson spoke and he talked about how we can't have faith and fear at the same time. He also said, "There has never been a better time to be a member of this church." And that is so true! We are so blessed to have this knowledge! One last thing he told us was something President Monson says, "He who the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies." We have all been called to be members in this church and the Lord will bless us and help us with the things we need to accomplish His work! The Lord gives us so many resources, gifts, and talents so that we can do His work in our everyday lives!:)

Then Thanksgiving!:) Sorry family, but it was one of the best ones yet! I loved Thanksgiving! We had a devotional in the morning and Elder Neil L. Andersen came to speak to us.  He spoke about how we should be grateful for everything because everything we have is a gift. Our bodies and our talents are all gifts from God. They aren't really ours. Then he talked about even being grateful for our trials! That is such a hard one, but our trials really do make us stronger and we are so blessed from them. He was talking to a missionary who had had a really bad day and he told the missionary, "If you had a day like that you must have something great in your future." I loved that and I think that is something we should always remember when we are going through something hard. When we make it through those difficult times we will be blessed! We have something great ahead.  The bigger the trial the greater the reward:) We need to remember that and cherish every moment even when it is hard! Then we had a yummy Thanksgiving lunch and we actually had real potatoes!! That was awesome! Then we watched Ephraim's Rescue and did this great service project! We made 359,000 meals for families in Utah that don't have food. I loved being able to show my gratitude by serving others. Then we got to have another devotional and walk around and look at the Christmas lights. My companions, my roommates, and I had some yummy sparkling cider and celebrated Thanksgiving in our room:)

Flight Plans!

Also, WE GOT OUR FLIGHT PLANS!!!yay:)

Happy Thanksgiving to us!

Next week I will be emailing you from Portugal!  Woot Woot!  

I am so excited to serve the people of Portugal!

I hope you all have an amazing week.

I will probably email again on Saturday... I think we get another pday so we can pack:)

Love you all and don't forget to say your prayers:)

Love,

Sister Sampson:)

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Birthday Dad!

Wow... What a week!:)

Last week was an adventure! On Tuesday we had an awesome devotional Elder Gary E. Stevenson came and spoke about a Missionary Thanksgiving and how we should be grateful for Christ, the Holy Ghost, and the Restoration. Then he talked about how the MTC is a manifestation of diverse spiritual gifts and that is so true. I have seen how Heavenly Father has blessed each and everyone of us with different gifts and with Christ's help we can develop gifts that we don't have. He has helped me with the language so much! 

    Tuesday night I got sick.... So two out of the three of us were fighting sickness. Sister Mavy was still going strong. Wednesday we found out that Sister Kunz had pink eye so we went to the pharmacy that was across the street! It was awesome getting out of those gates. Haha. 
On Wednesday we taught a lesson and I didn't look at my notes once to help me speak Portuguese! It was awesome! I was able to trust the spirit and He helped me to know what to say. The Gift of Tongues is soo real. 

Thursday was the best! My companions and I bought matching rings, it snowed, Elder Patterson accidentally ripped his pants, and class was so good all day! Actually, class is great everyday:) 

Then Friday night it hit Sister Mavy and she got sick too! Our whole district is diseased! Then we found out that I had lice... How lovely! 

Saturday morning Sister Mavy fainted in the bathroom!! It was scary, but she is doing so much better now. She had to lay in bed all morning so we went on splits so that Sister Kunz and I could go get the lice treatment for me... They had a driver drive us to Rite Aid to get Nix (the stuff to get rid of lice). We had to wash all of my clothes and my sheets. Then Sister Kunz sat there and brushed my hair for three hours getting all of the bugs and eggs out of my hair. She was so cute and nice. Both of my companions were so kind and helpful. We finally got all the lice out and then I got pink eye in both of my eyes! The sickness that has been going around has also been giving everyone pink eye... After we got rid of the lice Sister Mavy was feeling better and we were able to go to class. What a day though! 

Then Sunday we woke up and had an awesome day! In Sacrament Brother Platt talked about obedience and how we can chose to learn from our mistakes or other peoples mistakes, but if we chose to learn from others we can save ourselves from heart break. Then we had District meeting and Elder Hilton taught about how in lessons the spirit really is teaching and so we don't have to be worried if our Portuguese isn't perfect. If we are trying our best and have the Spirit, the Spirit will help them learn what they need. Then for the Devotional Sister Meredith talked about the importance of charity. I have to companions who have been sick, but have helped take care of me and my lice problems and I think that is a great example of charity! Charity makes everything easier. When you are focusing on others because you love them and not focusing on yourself that is when you feel true happiness and Heavenly Father blesses you and your burdens become lighter! I love this Gospel! I know that this church is true and I love serving the Lord everyday!:)

Happy Thanksgiving this week! Show someone you are grateful for them through serving them! I love you all and HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!:)

Week 3 :)

Answers to moms questions:

We had Sister Joy D. Jones come this Tuesday! She was amazing and said everything I needed to hear. I will talk more about her later in the email! Then yesterday Brother Richard Heaton. He is hilarious, but he was amazing. More about him later too!

 

I am definitely getting better at the Portuguese:) Still not super good though haha. We get breakzinhos and we just go to the bathroom, but when we have personal, companion, and language study time we go walk around outside and quiz each other, or we take our scriptures outside and study. It is soo nice! We did an English fast the other day... it didn't last too long hahaha. In class we just speak Portuguese or try to:)

 I have done some running:) my knee aches sometimes. This week Sister Kunz and Sister Mavy have been sick... So they have been having a rough time. So for exercise time we haven't been able to go run or do anything too extreme.

 

We get to go to the temple every Monday:) 

 

About our teachers, Irma (sister) Schill. She is our first teacher.  She is amazing and served in Portugal! She has taught 6 other districts.   She only talks to us in Portuguese and our class consists of coaching, which is where they teach us how to be a better missionary and teach us things from PMG. Then we have grammar, which is where we learn more Portuguese.

 

Our other teacher is Irmao (brother) Lynn. He is also awesome! He served his mission in Mosabique! This is his first time teaching.

This week!

Spiritual:

Sister Joy D Jones came and spoke to us. She said everything I needed to hear, which was SMILE! I may be struggling with Portuguese and not that great at it, but I just need to remember to smile because I have the happiest message! And when I am in Portugal and not yet a pro at the language I can remember to smile because I have the Gospel! And smiling means the same thing in all languages:) So remember to smile because we know our purpose and we know we are all children of God:)

Something I learned for myself this week is to rely on the spirit. Brother Richard Heaton came to speak to us on Sunday. He talked about how we need to rely on the spirit and how sometimes we don't always recognize that the Lord is guiding us, but He is as long as we are doing what is right. Sometimes we don't see how the Holy Ghost prompted us to do something until after we do it. Something that my Branch President talked about on Sunday is we are promised that we will have the spirit to be with us when we are baptized or when we take the Sacrament, but what we have to remember is we are always making mistakes and so we have to remember to invite the spirit to be with us. We have to give him the invitation by our actions. Then Sister Dansie (the branch presidents wife) talked about how we need to show are gratitude by acting on the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I loved that. 

This week while I was teaching a lesson I felt prompted to share a personal experience. When I started to share the experience I was able to teach and say what I needed in Portuguese. It came out of my mouth and I didn't even really realize what I was saying. The spirit was so strong and my investigator started to cry because it was what she needed to hear. It taught me that my Portuguese may not be perfect, but the Spirit is perfect and will get the point across that is needed. All I need to do is trust in him:) 

Silly:

We were playing Volleyball and Elder Kartchner had this genius idea to slam dunk the volleyball on the other side of the net.  In the processes he ran straight into the net and got clothes lined. It was hilarious! He landed on his back and his sunglasses went flying! He is always keeping our district laughing.

That is all for this week! Remember to SMILE because we have the happiest news:) Remember to trust in the Lord! He is always guiding us:)

Love,

Sister Sampson

Nice Little Surprise!

Another amazing week in the MTC! I really do love this place! I am learning so much! 

For exercise time most of the people from our zone go outside and play volleyball and we want to take advantage of this nice weather so we have been playing volleyball. It is so fun. Our whole district played together and it was a blast! I love my district! 

Monday:Went to the temple! I feel at home when I go there and I love it! Got a cute Halloween package from my mom! That definitely made for a great Halloween! We taught our investigator that night and asked him to get baptized! He said yes! So that was exciting!:) 

Tuesday: My companions and I had the opportunity to go to the temple again because of one Sister in our district hadn't gone through yet. She is from Jamaica. It was such a great opportunity! I can't imagine doing that without your family there, but she was awesome! She has only been to the temple one other time than that. President Nelson came to speak to us! The spirit was so strong! He talked about how the one person that needs to be converted after the end of our missions is ourselves. My companions and I sang in the choir! We sang Praise to the Man. Choir practice is amazing cuz the choir director tells us all these amazing stories. So while we were practicing Praise to the Man we were learning all about Joseph Smith and my testimony grew so much! 

Wednesday: Nothing too exciting happened... All these new missionaries came in and it was so fun saying hi to them and welcoming them in:)

Thursday: Something that I learned was that we will be held accountable for every opportunity God gives us to share the Gospel. It is really important to always act on promptings:)

Friday: I learned that Heavenly Father loves me and is aware of my needs and answers my prayers. I was really struggling with the language on Thursday and I prayed that night that he would help me. Friday was great. I felt like I was understanding the language better and I could speak it better too. I know that I couldn't learn this language on my own. Heavenly Father is definitely helping me:) 

Saturday: Our investigator ended up being our other teacher! So now we have two teachers! It is awesome! He had us have a small testimony meeting in our class and it was so cool to hear all of the testimonies of the elders and sisters in my district. We all come from different backgrounds, but we are all here for the same purpose. They are all so strong in the gospel and have taught me so much already! We are already super close and get a long great!

Sunday: SUNDAYS ARE THE BEST! It was testimony meeting in sacrament and this one missionary bore his testimony about how we are called to speak the language in the language we will teach the Gospel best in and the language we can best communicate to Heavenly Father in. That was something I needed to hear:) 

Then I had a nice little surprise... I ran into my besties at the temple! Shout out to Kayla, Kenzie, and Velisity! I loved being able to see them. It made my day!:) It was an answer to my prayers! Then we had a devotional that night and Jenny Oaks Baker and her family spoke and played music! It is amazing how music can bare testimony to you stronger than words sometimes. She played Amazing Grace and it reminded me of my dad because his choir sang it and she played the violin for them:) It was one of the Elder's bday in our district so me and my companions got him tons of ice cream at dinner and sang him happy birthday:) It was fun!

Well, that is all for this week! I love this Gospel and I know that our Heavenly Father loves each one of us and is aware of our needs and answers our prayers.  Have a great week!:)

Tudo Bem!

MOM and DAD! 

I love this place! I also love you guys!

Answering moms questions!

Okay there are 12 in our district! Only three sisters and we are in a trio! Sister Mavy and Sister Kunz. They are both so cute and I get along with them super well! Sister Mavy is from Sacramento California and Sister Kunz is from Herriman Utah! We are all going to Portugal Porto. The Elders in our district are going to our same mission except three of them are going to Angola Africa. I love my district. 

 THE FOOD. Okay I don't want to sound ungrateful because I truly am grateful that they provide us with food, but we just get salad everyday cuz it isn't that amazing! Haha. That is a testimony in itself that people stay here even when the food isn't that great. Everything else is amazing and the spirit is so strong here!

In my class my teacher just speaks to us in portuguese the whole time and I have no idea what she is saying. Haha. I will get it though. My companions are picking up the language pretty good and they are helping me. We have already taught our investigator twice in Portuguese! We did pretty good considering that we don't know the language. It is obvious that the Lord is on our side and is helping us and the spirit is the real teacher:) We got to go to the temple today and I loved it! So pretty! I felt at home going there. It was nice:) Both of my companions are so in tune with the spirit, outgoing, funny, and hard workers. We get a long great!!:)

Well, I don't have much time to talk about the rest of my week, but when I say this place is weird it is nothing like any where else! The spirit is so strong. Everyone here is a worthy temple recommend holder. That just gives you an idea of how amazing everyone is. Sunday was my favorite! It was full of uplifting messages. We watched The Character of Christ talk given by Elder Bednar and he said true conversion is turning away from the natural man and focusing on others and I think that is so true and it hit me so hard. I am on a mission for others!:) I noticed that if I study for the needs of my investigator and learn the language so I can help others know the truth I learn much faster!:) and when we are struggling we tend to pity ourselves and that is not what Christ does. He turns outward and focuses on others! I know that we can come closer to Christ by focusing on others:)

Have an amazing week! I will send pictures next week if I can figure out how to do it! Maybe I will try to do a recording!:)

Love,
Sister Sampson

The Trio wishing you a Happy Halloween

My friend Kess and I.  So fun to see her

The District

I am safe!

Hey guys! 

I have survived the first day at the MTC! This place is weird, but awesome! I love it! They keep speaking Portuguese to me and I have no idea what they are saying, but I will get it:) haha. Also, guess what!! I am in a trio and one of my companions is Sister Kunz!! I was so excited when I saw her! I also saw my cute friend Kess. So that was a tender mercy! When I was walking to my room I ran into her (not literally;)) haha. It was really nice to see her! Anyways, I love you guys so much!

 

Love,

Sister Sampson
