Hello Family!
 
This week was a good one. We had Zone Conference and it was pretty much amazing.  I got to play a musical number for it - Joseph Smith's First Prayer.  That was fun. It's always good to see President and Sister Merkley and all the other missionaries.  The instruction was really good, too.  There are two other sisters in our zone and one of them went to Timpanogos. Her last name is Blocker and she was in FCCLA. Maybe Kristen knows her?  I got to tell the Merkleys how to pronounce Sister Bullough's name. They're excited for her to come.
 
We met some new people this week. One was a lady who has two autistic boys and the older one is bipolar too. Her late husband was too. She has so much on her plate but she has a lot of peace because of God. We're excited to teach her. We also got to teach the fiancee of a recently returned member of the branch. He has been reading and praying and he knows The Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet. We just have to get him to stop smoking, now :).  Sister Ramos is still working on that.
 
We've started volunteering at the hospital in Sallisaw. The volunteer coordinator is a leader in another faith. We were teaching a lady one of the first days I was here and were interrupted when he came in to teach her too. That was a little awkward. It hasn't been awkward at the hospital, though :)
 
After Zone Conference Sister Williams found out from President Merkley that this will be her last transfer in Sallisaw.  Transfers aren't until the 23rd, so she found out pretty far in advance.
 
I hope you all have a wonderful week!  I love you so much!
 
Love,
Sister Monson
