February 19

ha ha ha and I laughed at what you said about speaking every Sunday at church mom IF it's about your kids. ha ha love it. 

Well this week was fantastic because we had a ZONE CONFERENCE! Man, it was so good. A woman called Savannah Stevenson came and spoke to us and it was brilliant. She is a member of the church here in England, she is from Derbyshire but she came down for our zone conference to speak to us because she had the opportunity of playing Mary in the church's new bible videos. I heard they showed them at the first presidency CChristmas devotional but in case you haven't seen them you can find them here:

But she talked about how she prepared to play the role of the mother of Jesus Christ and how she used Luke 2:19 about how Mary pondered these things in her heart. She talked a lot about pondering and how important it is and how Joseph Smith also had to ponder these things before he went and prayed and saw God the Father and His son Jesus Christ and how we are told in Moroni 10 that we must PONDER these things and it has made me ponder a lot this last week... at the things that I do ponder about and if I spend enough time pondering on the things that matter most instead of little insignificant things.

It was so good. President and Sister Shamo spoke to us and the APs as well. It's just always so good. And so fun to see all the other missionaries too!!!!! We have so much fun. AND Sister Christensen was there!! They flew her and her companion in from Jersey so I got to see her, maybe the last time before she goes home. :( I can't believe it. She goes home at the same time as Sister Gregson. I'm so excited you guys are going to see her family! Don't forget that little gift from Sister Gregson for them ok? :) Thanks!

Well fam, I love you guys. Keep doing what you need to do and you will be blessed. Love, Sister Mills
