I've been waiting for a book like this! ha!

Now THAT is a lovely face!

I'm sure this was a great weekend for Sister Trommlitz because of General Conference.  We love conference in our family (well...Tyler's getting there :)  and always feel rejuvenated by the talks and prayers and music.  I'm so happy that she is feeling great about her area and that members are being good to all the missionaries there.  It is such a blessing to know that good people are everywhere!  I also am struck by how much service they are doing.  Every week, she lets us know what they are doing to put forth good in the world.  That is all we're asked to do.  Testify of the Savior through word and deed and make others lives just a little better by having an interaction with us.  We can do that!  Here is what she is up to: 

We have a new investigator who we have helped move. We haven't had the opportunity to teach her the restoration yet, even after several times of trying, but while moving, the topic of family history came up. We talked about how the church has a large emphasis on family history and set up a time for her to meet with a member of the ward and start her own family history. She was so excited and this might be the way that she initially connects with the gospel. I can't believe how much I have been able to use my knowledge of family history since I have been out here. 

Anyone out there, and especially youth who might be reading this, take note of how prevalent the use of Family History is in the mission field.  It is critical that we learn and do it!  It will bless your life. 

This week we tried a new method of finding people. This past zone meeting we received questionnaires that people could fill out and get them excited to learn more. We went up to the local college campus, Dalton State, and began talking with the students. It was a success!! They are at the perfect time in their life to find the gospel. We found many who are interested and want to learn more which we are very excited about.

I remember hearing, (maybe from Elder Holland??)  that there are greater numbers of young adults coming into the church and accepting the gospel than that of any other age group.  I think there are many Dalton State students who will be ready and benefit from their work and testimonies :)

I really feel like she is settling in well there.  We're so proud of her even though we miss her like crazy.  It seems a long time even though it's not even been 3 months yet that she's been gone.  Pictures and her words each week help so much. Thanks to everyone for your support!
