April 7, 2014 - Dearest Ohana!

Hello my lovely ohana! 

Hahaha, mom that story is so funny..  sounds just like something zach would do. What an adventure!!! Did you take pictures of your stuck car?  And I'm sorry about the pictures!!! I was worried that might happen with that blue marker... I don't remember which pictures I sent, but I can try to remember and re send them! Did dad like the squished frog? Apparently that was small compared to other ones. So I'll be on the lookout for more haha.  And zach is going back to BYUI! Fun fact! I love byu idaho. I've been realizing how much of a wonderful school it is. I don't know why I'm realizing that on my mission.... kinda random. But I'm just so glad I got to go there. 

Wasn't general conference amazing?! In my mind conference is pretty much like Christmas... it is the most wonderful time(s?) of the year!  We go to watch it in the Visitors Center theater with the Laie zone missionaries. It was awesome! We got to watch it live, so we were at the VC by 5:45am! I felt like it went by so fast though, I just wanted to soak up everything they had to say. It was a really cool experience, because before hand Sister Kim and I took like 15 minutes to write down questions we had. My questions were kinda specific and random. But they were all answered!! That's why the Spirit is so powerful, because no matter what you're hearing from the speakers, the Spirit will tell you whatever you need to hear.  Ah, conference is the best. How did you all like it?? Favorite talks? Remember that we were really hearing words straight from Heavenly Father for eight hours! So it's super important to keep reading those conference talks! Oh! And guess what we did after conference? The wonderful senior sisters made us breakfast pizza!!!! No marshmallow fluff, but nonetheless, it made me so happy. Of course it wasn't as good as yours mom, but it reminded me of you all!

So this week missionary work has been going good! Mostly we're just looking for more people to teach. It's amazing how we end up finding them though, it's definitely not through our own doing! So Sister Kim and I met this kind Chinese man named Charlie. He's living here in Laie, and he's a convert. He invited us to this "cottage meeting," which is basically where a bunch of converts bear their testimonies and invite everyone to come listen. And there's food. So basically it's the perfect thing to bring investigators to! In our ward there is a Chinese lady, Sarah, who came here to coach the BYUH basketball team, and she's a nom-member! She's super hard to get a hold of and meet with, but today she is coming to the cottage meeting with two other non-members!! We're so excited. It is a miracle.

Oh, zach! Guess what?! I was walking around the temple grounds, and these two girls came up to us and were like "do you know a sister sabey?" and I was like "woowooo! right here!" But I was confused because I didn't know them. And then they said they served their mission with you?!?! Carly Rate and someone else who's name I don't know. And she said she had a package from you for me! You're such a gem. So I'll probably see her around again sometime. :) Thanks for the package in advance, you are a gem!!!

Sam: You're on the volleyball team?!?! SWEET! How is it going?? Who else is on the team? Anyone I would know? How do you like it? How often do you have practice and games? I'll be there cheering for you in spirit!! Are you aware that you're turning 16 this week?!?! WHAT IN THE WORLD! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Well, I love you all so much!! Keep being awesome! <3<3<3 

Love,
Sister Sabey

ps. Thank you (in advance) for the package mom!!
