Bishop Lee's funeral was so beautiful. Before he
passed he told his wife how he wanted it to be done, so it was very
organized and very uplifting. He didn't want her to cry or be sappy
with her eulogy. She told a lot of jokes and silly stories of him.
Always a joker. His favorite city.....Montreal Canada!!!!! I'm sure
you would say the same thing too dad since you served there too! I'm
sad to see him gone, but it's sweet to see how strong his kids and wife
are which makes us be strong. The church was packed and it was a great
way to teach about the Gospel to those here in town. Hopefully we will
have soften hearts now to accept the messages.
The Elder Porter conference was good. He talked
about the Gospel of Jesus Christ more in depth. I really liked the
talks before him though about being humble and full of love. We as
missionaries literally can't talk to EVERYONE we see, but our
countenance speaks far more than words. Always be an example and stay
strong to your values. Elder and Sister Porter cover the middle east.
They obviously can't do any preaching over there, but their actions and
lifestyle is how they spread the Gospel.
At the conference, one of the Elders I served with
in Modesto came up to me and told me there is a lady in Fresno that is
friends with mom that keeps asking about me and is wanting to do
team-ups with me some time. Mom, do you know of someone here that is
trying to hunt me down?! Ha ha.. He said she speaks spanish also.
Hummm... And I'm the only Sister Sorensen here so I know they don't
have me confused with some other sister here. He can't remember the name
but kept saying it's your friend mom. So you will have to let me know
if you know who it is!
The zoo last week was fun. It was a lot bigger than
I expected (bigger than Nebraska but smaller than Hogle Zoo). Saw
flamingos, zebras, elephants, sea lions, snakes, lots of birds, lemurs,
monkeys, kangaroos, warthogs, giraffes, etc. We will have to plan to go
to Hogle Zoo when I get back!
The ward party was fun too Saturday. Very
disorganized and everywhere, but it was a good turn out. The Tongan's
did a lot of dances which made me miss Amanda teaching them to me.
Santa came so I got a picture with him!
I love you all and hope you have a good week this
week. Always in my thoughts and prayers. I wrote an email to Grandma
so hopefully she gets it. Thank you for the sweet message. I love her
so much and hope she gets feeling better and can pull through.
