Our Miracle Girl

Hey Friends and Family!

How is everyone doing? I hope you are doing well. Have you gotten presents for your mothers yet... you should because Mother's Day is soon... and moms are awesome:)

This week was great! We had a nerf war last P-day with just our district which was a lot of fun! I got shot in the face multiple times and I shot others in the face multiple times. It was fantastic. We found out shortly after this that nerf wars are now band from the whole mission... this surely was not because of our nerf war...surely...if it was though... we are sorry????

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also this week our favorite Elders let us borrow there ukulele for a week and that made us very happy haha. We didn't listen to music all week long but instead, I just serenaded Sister Robertson in the car with original songs such as "The Idaho Nampa Mission, Where Mok is Always Fishin'" and my favorite "Go away Satan". Our mix-tape will be coming out shortly. 

So if any of you know me well...or really at all... you know that I have a huge fear of birds. So this week on Tuesday we knocked on this super sketch door and were waiting to see if anyone was home. So while we were standing there I started to tell Sister Robertson a story (because sometimes I just do that so we don't stand in silence for a minute hoping that someone will answer the door) and apparently during my story, Sister Robertson heard something on the roof so she turns and looks at the roof which makes me turn and look at the roof when all of a sudden this bird flies out of the rafters right over my flipping head!!!!!!!! So I of course scream and run to the car because at this point I do not even care if someone is in the home. I literally saw my life flash before my eyes but luckily the Lord protects His missionaries so no need to fear for me.

Friday we had Zone conference. I love zone conference. I get to see my very favorite people like President Sorenson, and Sister Tuft, Sister Bentley and Elder Bruce and Elder Wahere and PRESIDENT SORENSON! It's great. Also, my second favorite mom (Sister Soelberg) got to teach a training. I was so proud of her. She is an STL (Sister Training Leader) now. She hates speaking in public but she did so well. She is amazing. 

Saturday. What a busy day. We went to two baptisms that day! It was crazy. The first one was down in Nampa. I don't remember if I have told you about Peyton but she is this amazing amazing little girl. Sister Bubert and I taught her. So I got to see Bubert on Saturday which was fantastic. She is doing well. Anyway, Peyton's dad is not a member of the Church, and so for each of his kids who want to get baptized, they have to pass this "test" of his. So before the test, we taught her all the lessons. She loves the Gospel so much and it was so fun to teach her. it was a great baptism and Bubert and I cried the whole time. I also was in Nampa so I got to see my favorite Sister Gibbens. "Oh, how I love that woman". 

The second baptism was for a girl named Becca but of course, we just call her “Miracle Girl”. We love her so so so much. She is 35 and her boyfriend Nick is a member and brought her to the church. So let me tell you her story. 32 days ago we had a meeting with Elder Natress of the Quorum of the Seventy. It was so amazing. While we were there, he made us set a goal of how many people we could bring to the waters of baptism in 30 days, 60 days and 90 days. We have a very slow area and at the time had no investigators at all so we put down on this sheet of paper that in 30 days we were going to find a "miracle girl" and baptize her in 30 days. Later that week Nick called us and told us about Becca. We were so excited, but what made us more excited was when we actually met her and realized how prepared she was. She flew through all the lessons and then told us that she wanted to get baptized May 5th. This was exactly 30 days from when we set our goal. How amazing is that? She is truly a miracle and we love her so much. The Lord prepares His sheep. He loves them and He loves us and blesses our efforts. 

I hope you are all doing well. I love you lots and know that this Gospel is true. 

With love,

Sister Aase
