Another Opportunity to "Open My Mouth"

April 30, 2012

Hey! Congratulations on being able to see! I love that! I bet that will completely change your life and I can guarantee that Annie will ask for that in about 2.5 weeks. How neat! And FAST!

As far as the ring goes, I have no idea. :) I remember my ring was one of the two sizes, but I don't remember which. My ring that I have is big though so we probably should go with 6.5 to be safe. Why not. :) And remember, not one that is too big, but one that is pretty plain. :) I have realized on my mission that I have become quite plain.

I love that you recommended that talk! I love that one! I need to read it again ASAP to remember all the great words he spoke!

So a talk for you: Elder Henry B Eyring. Let us raise a voice of warning. We had a zone meeting this week and President showed a clip of that talk. SO POWERFUL! It is so great about member missionary work. We are trying to focus more on how to use the members more effectively. I have so many things that I am excited to work on! We also had interviews with the president this week and it was exactly what I needed. I just love him so much!

Yesterday at 2:30 a member in the bishopric said hey Sister Giles, want to speak today? You know me, jump at any opportunity to open my mouth. :) It was one of the craziest sacraments ever but it was fun! I spoke on service and I think it turned out all right.

After church we went over to the S_____'s and I just love them! When we come back after my mission, they want to take us to the island. I_____ said that when I got up to speak he leaned over to M_____ and said you know, when Sister Giles leaves, I am going to bawl my eyes out. He said it was because I was the one that found them - Me and Sister Zamora. It was so great to feel that even though we haven't had a baptism in awhile, we are still having success!

As far as Mother's Day goes, I have no idea when we are going to call. We can call either Saturday or Sunday. I think we might have to make it Saturday or Sunday night because we have church from 11-6 our time. So if we call on Sunday it will probably be like 8 or 9 our time. Or maybe sometime on Saturday. I don't know. We'll figure it out. We have permission on next Friday to call for 2-3 minutes to set it all up but if we can figure it out through email. Great!

I have the recorder and I am going to send it back today along with pictures. Yes I promise you will get pictures! I love you all so much and I will write you guys a letter in the box too! LOVE YOU!!!!!
