After spending 3 weeks at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Utah Sherie is now headed to the Mission Field!! The foreign land of San Antonio TEXAS!!!
She was able to call our family from the airport and told us how in LOVE she already is with being on a mission and spending everyday studying and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are so proud of her, and I am SOOO excited for all the adventures and amazing experiences she is about to have in Texas. She challenged me, and all my family to Pray & read our Scriptures everyday! I made a promise, even if it's just 1 verse a day to try and do that. The challenge is also extended to YOU!!! She promised it will make our lives happier than they have ever been. It is great hearing the excitement in her voice and she is so ready to share the Gospel & spread the joy she is feeling.
"God Loves you!"

hey mom! I have ten more minutes! Its the end of the day and we had a great lesson today! It was on revelation in church and WHY it is so important for people to come to church!!!
so our teacher is really cool he went on his mission to ghana where ama is from but anyways he asked me to explain to him in sixty seconds what the purpose of going to church was and it was really hard to explain i one min! .. it was hard and we tried, but then he gave an example and he said:
"church is so important because it is where u belong, your a daughter of god and when u go to church you go to the lords house and u get to spend time with him and talk to him and get closer to him. in life you have soo many responsibilities and get so busy and u make mistakes and sin and those bring u down, but when u go to church your able to ask for forgiveness and be forgiven and spent time with your savior, your sins are swept away and your able to start over!"
..Church is an escape from the world and it helps prepare us to meet GOD! ..Without church we would not improve because we need eachother and we need to be reminded weekly, ok that is more than what he said but that is what i learned and i really loved it. then he pretended to be an investigator and we gave him a tour of the church and it was amazing the spirit we felt! I loved it! it was like taking our investigators out of the world and into the gospel of christ, it was really amazing and the investigators looked calmer and happier! i never realized how amazing our church buildings really are, they make u feel safe, and if u cant go to the temple its the closest we can get to our savior and feel his love. If your ever having a bad day just go to the church and spend some time reading your scriptures and praying, i wish i would have thought of that before! Well i love you! I've had a great day my sisters and i went to the Provo Temple and it was sooo nice. i love the temple! & the gospel i feel like i am being converted every day and im excited to share with the world what i know, i kno0w it will change peoples lives!!!! I love you! ..today is my last day on the computer in the MTC!! GOOD NIGHT MOM AND FAMILY I LOVE U SOOOOO MUCCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
