Season 6, Episode 1, The One With the Kitten, Dogs, and Snake

 Hey folks! 

   This week was really good! We had transfers so now I am with Sister Packer and Sister Layton! It was a fun week filled with ups and downs, cancellations and miracles. And as you can see in the pictures and title, this week I got to hold 2 dogs, a kitten, and the snake. We also got to go to a really cool restaurant with Jess that had a slide inside of it. So I had a pretty awesome week. 

   Ok y'all. General Conference is this upcoming weekend. I am SO excited. We get to hear from our modern day Prophet President Russell M Nelson. We get to hear the voice of Jesus Christ through his prophet and apostles. Guys. That is AMAZING!!! I would just like to challenge each of you to prepare yourselves now to receive personal revelation at General Conference. Just keep it simple. You will be SO blessed. 

Keep on keepin on. Love y'all! 

       Love, Sister Yates :)

Season 5, Episode 6, The One With the Baptism

 Hey Folks! 

  Oh my goodness this week was crazy awesome. And that is only because our dear amazing friend Jess got baptized on Friday!!! It was so incredible to see and to participate. I was able to say the closing prayer and be a witness for the baptism. The spirit was so strong and we felt so much joy for her. 

   Also I got some other news last night. Last night President Goaslind asked me if I would be a Sister Training Leader. Let me tell ya. I am really nervous. But it will all be ok. I think. Anyways, I just want to share with you a talk that I read this past week and I loved it. It was Latter-day Saints Keep on Trying By Elder Dale G. Renlund. I invite each of you to read that talk this next week. And tell me your thoughts about it. 

I love you all! 

Love, Sister Yates :) 

Season 5, Episode 5, The One With Zone Wars

 Hey folks!! 

   This week was actually crazy but so much fun holy cow. Like the title of my email says, we had Zone Wars this week with the theme of Star Wars. Some good old friendly competition with Star Wars involved is something I can get behind. And our Zone was the Jedi and we won so everything worked out how it needed to. We also had homemade rolls by Hermana Anderson and pumpkin spice pancakes from Hermana Kyler. And one day we got to bike in some wind and dust to go do service at a park for some homeless people. That was an adventure. And a bunch of other things that would take me a while to explain. It has been very fun. 

  So yesterday there was a Face to Face with Elder and Sister Rasband that was for young adults. I would like to invite each of you to go watch it! The message can be for everyone so it doesn't matter if you aren't a young adult. The spirit was very strong when I watched it and I gained a lot of really cool insight about how to strengthen my testimony. One scripture that they shared that I love is D&C 68:6. It says "Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.". I invite each of you to go watch it and listen to hear what you need to hear. I promise that you will hear something that you need. I did. 

I love you all!! Have a fantastic week!

Season 5, Episode 4, The One With Wonder Woman

 Hey Folks! 

   This week wasn't too exciting but it was good. We got to have another follow up ARP training and we also got to have interviews with President Goaslind. And I even got to walk and talk with Sister Goaslind. I seriously love them so much. We also get to do Zone stuff now so hanging out with the Tempe zone is always a blast. And at Dairy Queen there is a Wonder Woman blizzard, it is delicious and I got a cool cup. I love Wonder Woman if you can't tell. It was a happy day. 

   Today I would like to share one of my favorite scriptures with you. It has really become a verse that love. It is Jesus Christ speaking and He says "Enter ye in at the strait gate; for strait is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there be that find it; but wide is the gate, and broad the way which leads to death, and many there be that travel therein, until the night cometh, wherein no man can work." (3 Nephi 27:33) We have the path right in front of us and we need to choose to stay on it. In the scripture it says that few there be that find it. We have to each individually find the way. That way is Jesus Christ and His restored gospel. So choose the path. Stay on it. It will all be worth it. Do one new thing this week to stay more on the straight and narrow path. 

   I love you all and I hope you each have a great week! 

      Love, Sister Yates :)
