Miles
This week has been CRAZY!!!!!! so it's week 6, and we get a certain amount of miles each transfer/month. Well we almost ran out of miles. So we had to walk a ton last week. We walked about 9 miles one day and then about 4 the next. It wasn't to hard for me because my legs are still in pretty good shape from climbing the stairs of death at BYU. But sis. Anderson's legs hurt her for a few days. My ankle was kinda hurting me a bit, but it feels fine now. It was crazy, but everyone we walked to go see, was home! There's this one lady we've been trying to get a hold of for about 6 weeks now and she was home! It was amazing! But wow, we were so blessed for trying to conserve miles. It was probably one of our more successful weeks. We thought walking would cut into a lot of our time, but we really didn't suffer in teaching appointments. We got transfer news, and Sis. Anderson is going to Bloomfield...We thought for sure she was staying one more transfer. I'm getting Sis. Abney whose coming from Shiprock up north. Sis. Abney has served in Gallup before but does't know the 2nd ward area which we are in. So some people may recognize her. Now Gallup is my area.....and I've only been with my trainer for 6 weeks! Usually you're with your trainer for 12 weeks. So I feel kinda jipped!!! But whatever, Heavenly Father knows best.

Cookie
Yesterday I went to the Baptist church for a funeral of one of our investigators mom who had died. (Our investigator is getting baptized on Tuesday. Yay!) It was a pretty good sermon, he talked about himself mostly and I didn't really here anything about Cookies (yes, that's the investigators name, she's white, it was her nickname growing up, so she changed her name to that. cool huh?) mom. It was really sad actually. There was cross with thorn crown and some purple cloth drapped around it. It was really sad, it did not make me feel happy or peaceful. It just reminded me about all the hardships I've had in my life. It just brought up to many bad memories/feelings. I honestly don't know why you would want to feel that way every Sunday! I wouldn't! Anyway! The pastor talked about heaven, he was pretty accurate except that he said we get new bodies. I was thinking, "No! I like my old body that I have right now! I don't want a new one!" It was kind of a weird thought. After the service me and Sis Anderson was standing there not really knowing where to do or what to do (the funeral was mostly family) so we waited for Cookie to tell us what she wanted us to do (go with her to the luncheon or leave). While we were standing there the pastors wife pretty much cornered us and asked us who we were and why we were there. It was actuallyu quit funny. In fact, her name was Anne. :) So we talked to Anne for a while and I asked her a little bit about how her husband and how he came to be the pastor. Then I told her I really liked her husbands sermon. She looked at me like I had 2 heads or something! She was totally shocked that I liked his sermon! It was really good, and I wasn't lying, it was just a little off from the truth, but it was good. I heard later from one of the member in the ward out here (we were at their house for dinner) and he said the pastor was almost anti-mormon. Haha! It explained a lot! I talked to Sis Anderson about it later and she said she did not feel any peace when we were there. She lost her grandma right after she came on a mission (a year ago), and the sermon did not bring her comfort. It was a sad realization about how others look at the after life. Anyway! Yesterday was interesting. This week has been really hard for me. We had 2 baptisms scheduled for this week (Cookie's is still on for Tuesday), and the other one was for Friday. But the guy got into a fight with his wife and left. He says he still wants to get baptized, but it may not be in this ward (he moved to Fort Wingate? it's about 20 miles away). I was really excited for that baptism too, and I'm really sad that I may not see it. Sis Anderson told me that once you say yes to being baptized it's like putting a huge target on your back. That day and week have not been good for the people we have scheduled baptisms for. Like Cookie's mom dying and the guy getting into a fight with his wife. And then to top it off, I've met an elder who came on a mission just because he wants the RM badge to get a wife....I was so mad at this elder! I wanted to rip his head off! He's a good person too, but his motives are all wrong! And it makes me mad because I know how important this work is now and I hate to see missionaries here for the wrong reasons. Sis Anderson and I have come up with a good saying: "Don't hang out in the vineyard (Jacob 5). Labor!" I hate missionaries who hang out in the vineyard! Today I was reading in 3 Ne 11 which talks about Jesus visiting the Nephites. Jesus gives his doctrine to the people because some were not teaching correct doctrine. His doctrine is that we baptize people so they can inherit the kingdom of God. In verse 41 it says "Therefore, fo forth unto this people, and declare the words which I have spoken, unto the ends of the earth." Jesus is saying we have to baptize people and the only way we are going to do that is missionary work!!!!! My mission president was telling me that some people think their job or whatever is more important than missionary work, but our most important thing we can do on this earth is bring people to the knowledge of the true gospel! Those are the people who are going to make it to the Celestial Kingdom...because there are a lot of members of the church who are not going to make it to the Celestial Kingdom...and those are the ones who do not do missionary work. We have to be a light to the world so people can see our good works so we can glorify our Father in Heaven....we can't be a light if we are sitting at home on a Friday night when the missionaries need us to go with them to a lesson, or if we aren't going to give them referrals. We have to help the missionaries in their efforts!
Ugh. Sorry, I'm just really frustrated right now. And I'm really learning what it means to be a missionary and how important missionary work is to Heavenly Father. I'm so glad that I decided to go, I probably wouldn't have learned so much in my whole life as I'm learning right now. It's tough, Julia and Helen, it really is. And you're probably going to think "what am I doing out here" but embrace the hard times so you can grow from them. Heavenly Father does answer your prayers. I've been praying so hard to have the Spirit with me so I can teach what Heavenly Father wants those people to hear. And you know, if Dad or your ward mission leader or your companion or other missionaries or whoever doesn't think you're good enough to be a missionary fine. HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS THAT YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH. For ANYTHING.

Mud Mud Mud
Last week we were out on the rez trying to see some people, and the sun had caked the mud over so it looked dry. So we decided we were going to go up this driveway. But we got stuck! Even in 4WD! It was bad! Really bad! So I had to get out and push, but it was really stuck! And then my shoe came off in the mud, and when I turned around to get it, I could hardly see it because the mud was so deep! It was crazy! Two cars stopped to help us, finally a truck came and pulled up out (shoof!). We want to go back and find those people and teach them the gospel! I love the reservation a lot even though we got stuck in the mud! :) My comp and I want to track the rez one day next week. I think it's like 8 miles, but I'm way excited! I love the rez! I will be sad if I'm not in the Farmington mission, but I'll go wherever the Lord needs me. This mission is not about me, it's about the Lord and his work and I'm just an instrument in his hands. I was having some troubles with confidence last week, and I was thinking maybe it was my lack of faith. So I studied faith on Sunday and I found that to have faith is to have confidence in someone or something. I realized that I need to have confidence in Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that I was really called on a mission to preach the gospel, and because of that they will help me in my efforts. It's not me that converts, it's the Spirit, and I need to have faith/confidence that the Spirit will guide me in what to say to bring others unto Christ. My comp Sister Anderson pointed out to me that I need to have faith/confidence in myself. That was a real boost to me because I had forgotten that I do need to have faith in myself, especially as a missionary. Man, yesterday was good day for my self esteem. :) It was like someone recharged my battery.
Also, yesterday one of our investigators mom had died. We went over to make sure she was ok, and I can't believe how much comfort the gospel really brings to people in those situations. She is actually scheduled to be baptized next week, but we'll see if that happens, but she is so strong in the gospel already and going over there gave her a lot of comfort. But she still needs to find that peace of course. This is what I really wanted to do as a missionary. Is to help people who are going through death, because I know how to help and I want to help them discover what I discovered. And let me tell you, there has been no shortage of people dealing with death around here. It's awesome to bring people the gospel and show them that they can see that person again! This is where I'm supposed to be!
(Note from the Editor: So Leda sent me a letter that I can copy onto here, but I can't find it, sorry! I'll find it and post it out of order:)

~Scripure Study with Leda~
I've been reading in Alma 50+ about Moroni and Helaman and the stripling warriors. I've made a lot of comparisons with them and missionary work.
In Alma 49 and 50 it talks about how Moroni was always(continually) preparing for war. He never stopped making his cities stronger. That's kinda like missionary work. I'm always preparing to teach and making my foundation stronger. I have come to understand that I need to be prepared. Moroni didn't just sit in his cities thinking he would be protected, he had to do everything he could and then the Lord would make up the rest, after all we do. It goes on to talk about the Army of Helaman and how the warriors were young and exeedingly valiant for courage, strength and activity. They were true at all times and could be trusted. They were men of truth and soberness because they were taught to keep the commandments of God and to follow him. That was their rep. I hope that that is how people look at me, not just as a missionary.
I just love Moroni in Alma 55:19 it says that Moroni did not delight in shedding blood, but he delighted in saving his people from destruction. Moroni knew why he was fighting, for his family, country, and God. He knew his purpose and never forgot it. I think as missionaries (we are all missionaries), we need to think that way. Our society and government are not centered around those things. We are fighting for these same 3 things as missionaries. Moroni alsogave these Lamanites a choice- to either be on his side (freedom), or die. Of course we aren't going to kill anyone who rejects us, but in a way they are dying if they do reject us. I also love how Helaman calls the stripling warriors his sons - and in return they call him father. It reminds me of how our relationship should be with our mission president(s). It shows how close Helaman is to his army. I got the impression that Helaman was hesitant with letting his army go to war - in Alma 56:46 the warriors are telling Helaman to let them go - God is with them. They want to fight for their fathers so bad! They were so toung - it says they never fought before - but they weren't afraid of death, because they were taught by their mothers to not doubt, God would deliver them. In 56:55 it says Helaman feared that many of his "sons" were slain - I don't think that verse gives justice to the fear he felt (imagine losing a child) - in 56 it says "great joy," I don't think it gives justice either, but not one soul of his sons were fallen. It goes on to say these sons of his fought with the arm of God, basically, and that these seasoned warrior Lamanites were scared by these inexperienced warriors. I have no doubt that God was behind them 100%. They were taught by their mothers. It goes on in 57:21 that these warriors did obey with exactness. Obedience was their shield - there is safety in obedience. As a missionary I want to obey with exactness. I want to be like the stripling warriors in my missionary work! I'm just the instrument.

Albuquerque, Mew Mexico
Dear Annie,
So I made it to New Mexico in one piece. My mission president (Pres. Anderson) is really nice and his wife is really sweet. I really like them. But, I found out my mission is splitting in July- there will still be the Albuquerque mission but will go down to the Mexican border and some of Texas. Then the Farmington New Mexico mission will be created. It covers all the Native American Reservations in New Mexico, Utah and Arizona and I think Colorado. So the Phoenix and Mesa AZ missions are splitting into the Farminton mission. So depending on where I'm serving in July that will be my mission. Right now I'm serving in Gallup New Mexico which wil be in the new mission - there is a chance that I will stay here for the next 6 months, but there's also a chance that I could get transfered. I'm kinda not sure about the split because the elders and Sister Edwards could be put in the new or old mission - so we may not even have mission reunions together! So I'm sad, but excited at the same time. We'll see what happens. Heavenly Father knows where I'm supposed to be. Anyway! My companion is Sister Anderson the younger because my mission Presidents wife is Sis Andersen the Elder. It's really cute:) She's an awesome trainer! So out here we are surrounded by reservations - the roads are mostly dirt, so lately with all the rain and snow it's been muddy out on the rez (reservation). Of course I didn't know it was going to be muddy when we went out there, which was I believe my 2nd day out here, so I wore my nice suit jacket. Sister Anderson made me walk through like a mile of mud that day! Ok, not really a mile, but it sure felt that way! I think at one point my shoe came off because it got stuck in the mud. But there was snow beside the mud, so I walked in the snow mostly. Sister Anderson was smiley and laughing the whole way! She's a farm girl so she's used to it. I wouldn't have minded the mud, only that I was wearing a skirt!!! There was one place where there was like amud river with some snow/ice in it, and Sister Anderson thought it would be a good place to cross. But little did she know that they were FLOATING ice chunks! HAHA! She almost biffed it, but because she has talent, she didn't fall. But one time her leg sunk to her ankle in the muddy water. Me on the other hand being smart walked around in between some trees. I totally fell in like 2 feet of ice because a branch caught my skirt. So I'm not sure who was the smart one in finding an easier route. Sigh. Anyway! That was a pretty fun day!
We are teaching a lot of people right now. One of the investigators that Sis Anderson has been teaching is getting baptized next month. So we're both pretty excited. It really hasn't been too hard to teach. The Spirit really knows his stuff!:) I just have to open my mouth. It really helps me to teach when I care about the person. I have talked to a few people and just tried to teach what I know, but that neverworks! I have to care about the person before the Spirit starts to work. But either way, the Spirit is always there no matter how well or bad I teach. I just have to trust Heavenly Father.
Did I tell you it's pretty much a blizzard out here? I'm so bummed! I was expecting like 80F weather! Oh well, we drive a trick that has 4wd:) That's why we didn't get stuck in the mud (which we did in 2wd).
There's a flea market out here every Saturday where we set up a booth and give pass-along cards. It was really strange at first, but once I got to talking it was ok. We gave over 55 pass along cards, and a couple of pamphlets. My comanion told me that she got 107 once. Crazy! Well, we may have talked to that many people, but they didn't want any cards. Oh well. Anyway! If you want to send me letters my address is 4400 Presidential Dr. Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87109. I would love to get mail.
I'm sending you pictures with this letter, so hopefully you can get them on the computer with this letter:)
The Church is true, the book is blue, and Moroni is still on the ball! HAHA! My old companion told me that one. Man, do I love the Book of Mormon! I've been reading the war chapters, Moroni is so not scared of anyone! I hope I can be like Moroni one day. Anyway! Ttyl!

MTC News
Ok, Leda sent me a letter. I wasn't sure if I should copy it word for word here, but I'm going to. I'm too impatient to wait for her letter to tell me what to do :) So here it goes:
Hi Annie and Jimmy!(and the girls)
How are you guys doing? It's so weird to say that because we have to call each other Sister and Elder (and "guys" is not appropriate :)
Anyway! The MTC is really hard. I had no idea how hard it is to teach the basics! But I'm getting the hang of it. I was really discouraged on Saturday, my companion, Sis Edwards (from San Lorenzo, CA, Near Oakland) and I didn't do very good. It was actually really bad. The next day on Sunday my district leader, Elder Inman, asked us to give the lesson on the first lessons first topic -God loves us and we are his children-. It was the best lesson EVER! It boosted my spirits so much! Then we took a walk to the temple. Oh man, that was so much fun! The 2 other sisters in my district, Sis Cutler, and Sis Pederson, thought my last name was "Stop", so they call Stop signs Stolp signs. HAHA! So we saw a stop sign on our way to the temple, she took a picture of me with my hand in the shape of a "L" in between the "O" and the "P". It was SO FUNNY! :) I'll e-mail it or send it to you when I can. (I'm in the laundry room right now and all the computers are used.) After that we went to sacrament meeting - we have to prepare 3-5 talks in case you're asked to speak, and we don't know who's speaking until he announces is. Ya, Crazy! After that we had a musical missionary fireside and that was so amazing! The spirit was so strong! I don't cry, but my walls were definitally weakened. An Elder went up to request a song and said he wanted to dedicate "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" to his best friend who he just hound out that had died. I totally lost it before we had sung hte first verse. I felt like mom was there - almost like she was helping me through the hard times. It was awesome! Monday was so good too! I was so happy! Basically on a spiritual high. :) We went and taught a volunteer and it was just so good! We found out the persons need really fast -that was what our problem was the first time, we couldn't find the need. It was aweseome! Anyway! I leave Feb 15th for New Mexico and my release date or when I'm done is July 4th, 2011.
Write back soon! I only get to check e-mail once a week. So letters are easier.
Love you all!

Feb 6 2010
I got a letter from Leda today, but I'm not sure how much of it she wants posted? So once I find out from her I'll post it. But I can let you know that she leaves Feb 15th for New Mexico and her mission end date is July 4th 2011. I also made this blog open to anyone, so you won't have to sign in and can invite any of Leda's friends (or family that I might have missed) to view it. Thank you all for your support!
