I am here....

I’ m here..... I am in West Valley Utah, 30 min from Salt Lake Utah. I got to go to the temple this morning, a live session, it was wonderful, despite the fact that I kept falling asleep. I am tried most of the time......We did extreme street contacting; the first person that we met, my companion talk too,and she said yes to a hard commit ,which is will you be baptized March 14. Crazy!! Her name was Apothany or something like that. Her sister goes to church all the time and she goes with her occasionally. So she took her name, number, and address so they can prepare her for baptism. She never had the missionaries over before. This is on the sidewalk near Temple Square. We left Book of Mormons and pamphlets to others. I did not talk much. My trainer has only been out 4 months and I think that she is scared out of her mind to train. I am confused about what is going on most the time. I don’t feel like a missionary yet,.....I prayed about it and I got the impressions to just watch, listen, and learn.

It is weird that I knew who my companion was going to be before I met her. I was waiting in line to be interviewed by the Mission President and he has pictures of all the missionaries in the mission and the ones that had no companions next to them I assumed that they were to be the trainers. There was a picture of sister Morris and all the other sisters and I just had the thought that I think that I am going to be paired with her. So when we were making all the guesses I guessed her. She seems really smart and has a really strong spirit, think that she just got caught of guard that she was going to be a trainer, for we had nothing planned for Wednesday night so we kind of drove around for 3 hours seeing if some investigators were home and if some of the Ward Mission Leaders and Bishops were home. It was hit and miss, but mostly miss. I did get the package and loved it. Thanks papa for the gum and candy it was my breakfast and lunch today because I did not have any other food. Don’t worry we went shopping about an hour ago.......,Love you all thanks for all your love and support and thank the people in both wards for their thoughts.

Love forever and for always, Sister Schwarz

Love and Hate...

..........Love and hate being a missionary; love because I have an added measure of the Spirit and because of this I am learning so much, and hate because I am learning so much and don't know what to do with all of it. Applying it is difficult. ............

Love Sister Schwarz

Hero in training.....

It has been long 9 days. I was supposed to email you yesterday (my p day). But the email was down and all day today my companion and I have been harassing the IT guys to get it to work for us. So I will not to be rushed but it is nine pm and I am so tried. Being a missionary is hard work, humbling hard work. I discovered that I know nothing. I am completely at my Heaven Father's mercy. ……I am learning so much that I can't retain it all, and my companion thinks that I study too much and that it is now rendering my progression. I did the stupid thing of praying for humility again last night and today he answered that pray. I wish I could go into details about what happened but there is not enough time. I love you all soooooooooooooooo much………….. I did not realize how much I would look forward to hearing from all of you; it is one of the best parts of my day…….. I want to send you pictures but the computers here will not take attachments so I will have to print them or wait till I am out in the field. My companion is Sister Callaghan and is five foot even. She is interesting……... I thought it would be hard to get used to having someone with me at all times but it is the opposite. I cannot wait to get out in the field some days and others I don't want to leave because there is so much to learn. I regret not being much more diligent in my study of the Bible, Mormon, PMG, and Jesus Christ Gospel in general. Whitnie get on the studying now you will not regret it. Sarah thanks so much for your sweet letters and box. Katie I miss you too and I wonder what this valentine’s project is? Ma and pa thanks for your belief in me even when I lack any myself. Tell Ella that she needs this to Be Baptized, this is so important. The truth of everything is by following our Savior and doing all that is in our power to come unto him. Well I had all these things to say to you and planned out yesterday but my tried mind in failing me. …….thanks SOOOOOOO much for your love and thoughts. I love you all dearly! , my time is up, Sister Schwarz

There she goes.....

She flew off today.....
