Plant Crossing?!

March 24, 2014
Dear Family,
It sounds like the weather isn't being so good to you, we have so much sunshine and I am thrilled. According to the English, I have made it through the winter! Now we're on to spring, and people are mowing the grass today and the sky is as blue as blue could be.

Plant Crossing?!

     This week has been wonderful. I'm feeling top notch as far as my health is concerned, and as far as everything else too. I've had some great study sessions the past couple of days. In our Zone Training Meeting we were instructed to go back to the basics and remember the things we were taught in the MTC. So, I pulled out the MTC workbook and started looking through it. It seems like it was ages ago, because it was, but I really just can't comprehend time anymore.
     Looking at the fundamentals of missionary work, and becoming "fresh" again was neat. I was able to remember all of the excitement and feelings that I had when I opened my call, and when I was a new missionary. It is so important to remember the purpose that we have as missionaries and the simple things that we help people with, like having revelation through the Holy Ghost.
     Sister Nigido and I have become closer than ever lately as well. We are always having so much fun but also we are able to teach with great power and she's the greatest example to me. It has also been great this past week to have language study (we have been this whole time, but lately it has been more effective). I read to her from her Italian Book of Mormon, and she tells me what I read in English, the one semester of Spanish when I was in Uni has proven to be useful. I was able to do that with Sister Pacis in the MTC as well. It's pretty fun too because I am learning bits and it makes me want to really study languages. Remind me to sing to you in German when we Skype next. :)
     Also, I love being in a four sister flat. Sister Monroe is one of my best friends and I'm grateful for these past four months with her. We're like sisters, we even have free reign of each other's wardrobes. It's pretty nice. She is also one of the missionaries I look up to the most. She is hilarious too, and we get along splendidly.
     I don't want to get into week 5 of this transfer! Ahhh! I know change is coming next week and I love these sisters too much. You are right Dad, there are going to be trips to Italy, Germany, Idaho, Australia, Sweden, China, and Utah in my future. (Granted that I'm a kajillionaire)
     This week we've seen so much growth with Ashleigh as well. She is fantastic and I can see a great difference in her since we first met her, and since she's been baptized. She is so confident, and she seems like she's been a member for more than just a month or two. And Tal is amazing. We are teaching  her about the prophets from the Bible because she was never taught them, and it has been wonderful. I've learned so much about Jonah, Joseph, Daniel and Moses.
    And, General Conference is coming up! It is probably the most exciting thing for a missionary. I love conference. Forget about the cinema, give me a notepad and some incredible talks from general authorities and auxiliaries and I'm happy as a clam.
   Good job Joshy on giving your first talk! I loved to read it and I'm so proud of you.
I love you all!
Sister Lybbett (it's how people always spell it...because
that is how they say it...haha)
