1. This
morning we had a tour of the Daytona international speedway in our area. Our
Ward mission leader got us tickets. It was pretty cool but I don't know
anything about NASCAR so I felt like a fish out of water.

2. I wish
I could just make this whole e-mail funny quotes from my Bishop. Last night we
had dinner/meeting with our bishop, the Ward mission leader and the elders.
Folks. Our bishop is my favorite. We asked Bishop if we could do something, he
said yes and then we're like okay we're going to say, "Bishop said we
could" and he goes "Oh well you can take my name in vain
anytime." Also we were eating and he just grabs this tiny slice of bread
and I said, "Bishop you know there are bigger pieces?" He goes
"Yeah, well I like the end pieces." And then a couple minutes later...
"Sister Sorensen did you see I got another piece of bread? I hope you’re
happy." Best of all.. He’s getting something off the fridge and his wife asks
what is he doing and he goes "Don't bother me I'm having fun."
Also- In
the words of my Bishop’s wife "If you have a smoking problem, you can
still come to church. Your sin just happens to have an odor, if all our sins
had a smell we would have a very stinky congregation."
3. T! We
were looking for formers and we found T. She said she was really interested in
learning but she has no time. So we were sad. But we had the prompting we
needed to text her and asked her if she read the pamphlet we gave her and she said,
"No, but when you come over tomorrow you can explain it to me."….
What!? So cool! So we went there and she's says, "My boyfriend and my son
and I want to come to your church." We had such a good lessons and we will
be seeing her on her only days off until her job changes.

5. I had
such an amazing special experience. I had to give a talk on Sunday in the YSA
branch. And I gave it on commandments. We had two people from a World Religions
class come. And after sacrament meeting we went up to them and one of the girls
was said, "I started crying in your talk, thank you so so much. I felt
something so strong." It was so cool. It meant so much to me.
This week
I hope you all can try to find joy in the commandments. Know that they are way
that our Father in Heaven shows he loves us. I've been pondering on this so
much. "If you love me, keep my commandments." Really our Father in
Heaven is saying. If you love me you'll come home. If you love me, you'll want to
be with me forever. If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments because if you
love me, you'll let me make YOU happy. I know how to make you happy.
So let
HIM make YOU happy, more than that - let Him fill YOU with joy.
