I'm 20, yes. This is a huge accomplishment to have
survived for 20 years. I want to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes!

Thanks mom/Ginn family for the package, I loved
everything in it! I got my harmonica and I play it all the time, dang I've
missed that thing.
Quick shout out to my parents this week, they're
anniversary was on Saturday and they have been married for 22 years.
#relationshipgoals They are the best parents anyone could ask for. I love my
mom and dad so much, and I am so glad I get to be with them for eternity.
This week was another blur, I swear it's just going by
faster and faster. I know I've said this before but auburn is SO pretty. We had
zone conference this past week, and that was amazing. Every zone conference all
the missionaries have to prepare a five minute talk on a subject president
Marston chooses. He chose for us to talk about how we have felt spiritual
promptings and what we have done to follow them on our missions. He randomly
chooses missionaries to get up and speak, and I was one of the lucky ducks that
had to get up and talk. I also played the piano twice for two musical numbers
for different zones. I felt like I was constantly walking up to the stand.
Which I kind of was. Zone conference was in Lincoln and it was so nice to be back
there. I miss it. I got to see some my friends in Lincoln, and one of which,
Elder Argyle, goes home in August and that was probably the last time I will
see him. Oh wow I loved Lincoln, it was some of the best times on my mission
there. Anyway yeah zone conference was the bomb diggity.
That was probably the highlight of the week, mostly this
week we've been contacting. It's hard to tract in Alta Sierra because it's in
the mountains. We mostly just go after referrals from members and try knocking
a house here or two there. It was a good week though, I have a lot of fun with
sister wall. She complains and freaks out over the small stuff so I tell her to
calm down and quit whining. It's hilarious, she has so many facial expressions.
I love it.
I was having kind of a hard time last week, so I've been
praying a lot more specifically to help me out this week. And it works. When
you pray and are specific about it, it's easier to understand what you are
asking for and what you personally need. Speaking it out loud makes it real
instead of just saying it in your head. President Marston likes us to have 20
verbal amens a day, and I have been working on that.
Prayer is amazing, it's like I have a friend with me all
the time and I can call on Him at any point in the day.
We had a good Sunday, the theme was the first vision from
Joseph smith and I loved it. I love talking about The first Vision, it makes me
so happy. Somehow, I still don't know how, I got signed up to play a special
musical number in both wards on the 12th. Alta Sierra is at 9 and lake of the
pines is at 11. I played the Restoration Medley for both sacrament meetings. We
had investigators come to each ward and I am so glad they were there to listen
to me play. Music can help people feel the spirit more than words can, I think.
So many people came up to me and told me thank you. I'm so glad I have this
talent and that I can share it with so many people in my mission. We also
taught the gospel principles class, and that was the first time I had taught that
class my entire mission.
I hit my 11 month mark this btw, party it up. One more
month til my year mark. I'm gonna vomit.
K I love you all! Enjoy the pictures. I will talk to you
next week.
With eternal love for all your souls,
Sister Ginn
