August 9, 2010--August=Heat, Rain, and Humidity!!

Hey guys!!

 

How are you all?? Sounds like you've all had an eventful weekend in one way or another! That's really cool about the garage sale! Mom, I can't believe you sold that much stuff! Are you just going to turn around and buy all new stamp stuff now?? LOL I'm glad it all worked out for you guys and that you had a successful week of selling stuff.

 

This has just been another week in missionary life. Nothing too exciting.... We have an amazing new investigator, Elaine. She's a girlfriend of a Less Active member. She knows nothing about the "Mormons," which is SO rare!!! She's completely open minded. It's so exciting. Teaching her on Thursday was amazing. She's great. We hope to set her with a baptism date this Thursday. We also have another investigator that is praying about a baptism date too. We're excited for her. We've taught her all we can, so it is up to her still. I know she'll get baptized, it's just a matter of when..... Her name is Lala.

 

Yesterday in RS a high council man that I served with in the Boca Raton Ward, Brother Lustig, was at our meetings. He's my favorite and he's told me numerous times I'm his favorite. LOL So yesterday he put in a plug for us sisters about the sisters in the ward coming out on exchanges with us. Needless to say it was AWESOME!! Four ladies came up to us after and gave us their numbers so they could come out with us!! This week is going to be great! We're so excited!!!! LOL He told me after the meeting that what he should have said was, "If I could hand pick two daughters, it would definitely be Sister Denson and Sister Cluff. Oh, but Sister Denson I'd have to fight the Lakes for you...." LOL He kills me. At least he knows where he stands. What he actually said was, "I don't know what on earth you've done in this ward but you have the two most beautiful Sister missioaries in the mission." Hahaha! Whatever Brother Lustig.....

 

I only have one picture this week, but will have a lot next week because us and the Creole elders are having SWEET PORK BURRITOS today!!!!! How awesome is that!! Especially that you guys are having them this week too!!!! This is my first time cooking them all by myself, but so far so good!! I made the green sauce this morning and was ready to chug it! It's been over a year since I've had these!!! None of us can focus today because we're all so excited for them!!! lol I'll take lots of pictures so you can see them next week! 

The picture that I'm sending is one of a recent convert. She was baptized just before I got here. Her name is Berlande (Burr-land). She's 19, almost 20, has a little boy Jarome, 2, and has the most solid testimony I have ever heard! She's fantastic! She's a little irresponsible, but she's solid. We'll work on responsibility. She's way mature in some other areas though. She is the oldest kid in her family. Her family is going through foreclosure and since her parents only speak broken English she is the one that has to deal with all the phone calls and what not. It's ridiculous. No 19 year old should have to deal with that! I love her so much though!

 

Mom, go ahead and add Chelsea Papenfuss to facebook. I've gotten to know her and love her already. Sister Call loves her a ton. Oh, speaking of which! I got an email from her today! It made me so happy!!! Tell her I'll try and write her this week, but no guarantee. I'll for sure get her no later than next week though!!!! Promise!!!!

 

Thanks so much for everything!!! I love you guys so much!!!! I'm so happy that Mom and Mal got to meet some of the most influencial people in my life. They mean SO much to me. I love you guys!!!!!

 

Love, Sam

 

PS We've had so much rain this week. That mean that I usually get a migraine--the barametric pressure changing is hard on my head for some reason. But because of the rain the humitidity is super gross!!! Yesterday it rained for hours and it put a huge keenk in our day because we were supposed to be out finding and riding bikes. Lame. But yeah, it's hot, it rains a lot, and its HUMID!!! Welcome to August in South Florida. :):)

Mom and Mallorie got to meet Sister Hale and the Lakes!!

This is a copy of Mom's blog post after meeting Sister Hale and President and Sister Lake at Heather's reception.

President and Sister Hale's oldest daughter, Heather, got married Friday, August 6. Unfortunately, as a Mission President, he was not able to attend but was able to go with her to the Orlando Temple. I can't imagine how hard that was for everyone...not having "Dad" there to share in the joy of the sealing and reception.

President told Sammi to make sure I knew to go to the reception so I could meet Sister Hale. I was SOOO excited!! I asked Mallorie to go with me which was really fun. None of the Missionary Moms had met her so I was really excited to show off my beautiful, sweet oldest daughter!

I rode down to Salt Lake with my great Missionary Mom friends, Becky Olson and Lanette Crane, and one of my favorite RM sisters...Karli Olson. We met two of my other BFFs, Jan Call and her RM, Meryl at 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. (Evidently this is the FAVORITE place for Florida Missionaries to eat...I have to ask Sammi.) Mal met us there after work.

Sister Meryl Call and Sister Karli Olson

Returned Ft. Lauderdale Missionaries

(Sammi loves these girls!! Me, too!!)

The reception was held at LeJardin (check it out here) in Sandy. Interesting reception center to say the least but I ended up really liking it after all. There we met up with another BFFMM,  Marianne Wardle and her husband Kevin. We all proceeded to head into the reception. I had heard that Sammi's FAVORITE people, President and Sister Lake, would be there...SHE LOVES THEM!!!! (See one of her funnier posts about President Lake here.) Anyway, they were right as we walked into the reception! The minute I told them I was "Sister Denson's Mom," they threw their arms around me and wouldn't let go! We talked for a long time about how much they love her and how wonderful she's doing. They absolutely could not say enough good about her! They just kept going on and on about much she's grown personally and spiritually and how much good she's doing. It was AMAZING!!!!!

After visiting with the Lakes, Mallorie and I proceeded to go through the line for Heather and Josh. What a CUTE couple!!

Wisely, they had separate reception lines for Josh's parents and Sister Hale. It was kinda funny because Sister Hale's line was almost as long as Heather and Josh's! She was so gracious and didn't rush through talking with people simply because of the length of her line. She visited with the people in front of us, said good-bye and turned and exclaimed, "I know who you are!! SISTER DENSON!!" She opened her arms and completely enveloped Mal and I in the biggest, warmest hug I've ever had. We'd step back, look at each other, and she'd pull us in again. She proceeded to cry with me over Sammi and how wonderful she is, how much they LOVE her, how much she's changed and grown, how proud we can be of her. It was one of the greatest moments I've ever had! She was WONDERFUL and it was such an incredible blessing to visit with her for a few minutes. I'm SOOOO grateful to her and President Hale for being such amazing "parents" to our Ft. Lauderdale missionaries and especially, our own Sister Denson!

August 2, 2010--Boynton Beach South

Hey everyone!

 

Happy August! Can you believe that it is August?!?!?! Time is flying by way too fast!!

I had a great week last week. As you can read in the email I sent to President that Satan tried to stop our Miracle Week. Yeah, not going to work with us! We're way stronger than he thinks we are! We didn't get as many lessons taught that we wanted, or as many new investigators as we wanted, but they will come. We will see the fruits of our efforts soon.

 

We did have one interesting/frustrating/sad experience this week. We were teaching a  guy named Venel in his driveway. We met him at the park a couple of weeks ago and said we could come back. We were finally able to meet up with him. The lesson was going great. He was understanding the Apostasy so well and the authority to baptize and everything. All of a sudden a car pulls in the driveway. Cool, another person to teach! Yeah, no. He was a "minister" that was quite rude. He completely had the spirit of the devil with him. As soon as there was a 2 second pause in our lesson he jumped it. Of course the spirit was gone, so we couldn't teach anymore. He was arrogant, and prideful, and we couldn't get him to stop talking so we could continue teaching Venel. Poor Venel looked so confused! He had no idea who to believe! We ended up leaving with just giving Venel the pamphlet with our number on it and told him to call us. He hasn't called us back, but we are going to stop by on Friday morning at 10:30 again. He said he's always home at that time. Pray that he will see the truth in what we were teaching him!

 

Okay, let me tell you a little bit about Boynton Beach and serving here. First, Karli is right. This is an amazing ward! We have members that call us and ask us if they can come out with us. The recent converts are truly converted, the Ward Mission Leader is OUTSTANDING, the Haitian are so fun and humble, and the elders that I am serving with right now ROCK!! I truly feel like a missionary again! 

Because there are so many Haitians here, the Elders are teaching English classes on Tuesday nights. It's so fun. We get to help them because there are so many that show up! It's so fun to see them try and then talk to them the next Sunday at Church! The Haitian culture is very similar to the Latin culture, but for some reason I love the Haitian SO much more!!!

I feel so blissfully happy up here. It's so strange. I love contacting and talking to people on the streets. I'm not shy about it, and it's just like a casual conversation about God that I get to end up bearing my testimony to them. Priceless! Sister Cluff is always like you're such a naturalist at this! I'm like "This is hardly me! My family would never picture me like this!" LOL I love not being shy anymore!!!!

I had a wonderful one year mark in the mission. Like I said Sister Cluff got up in the night and made me my cake. We worked hard all day, but at the end of the night I was able to go get a Rita's Italian Ice. It made me so happy! Miami doesn't have a Rita's, so the last one that I had was in Boca. Sister Cluff doesn't eat sugar right now, she got too addicted to it at one point. LOL The Elders always give her crap about it, but she's strong.

On August 22nd we have Stake Conference. Mom, make sure and tell Sister Gwynn that I'll be at the Sunday session and that she needs to come find me. We'll make sure and get pictures for you too.

 

I'm SO excited that you get to meet Sister Hale this week! I talked to President about it yesterday. He came to our ward unexpectedly :) I went and chatted with him after Sacrament Meeting. He wanted me to make sure you knew to go. Do you need the address or anything? They sent every single missionary our own wedding invitation. It's so cute, but surprisingly simple.

 

I can't tell you how much I enjoy this work and sharing what I know to be true to everyone I can. My testimony is stronger than ever! I love just testifying and telling people how it is. With love of course! This is truly the work of the Lord and I'm eternally grateful to be a part of it.

 

Thank you so much for each of your love and support! I love you all so so so so so SO much!!

 

Love, Sister Denson

 

PS Here are explanations for the pictures.

 

1. Me and Sister Cluff on our first day. My camera was to big and heavy for her little hands so it's kinda trashy. I'll get a better one on a Sunday when we're all "glammed up" LOL

2. I made the elders the chocolate cake. They just cut it into 4ths and ate it all. Gross huh!! It goes Elder Hudson (My absolute favorite elder--and he's a redhead!!) and Elder Clark. They're Creole speaking missionaries. Elder Zinn (He's from Fort Wayne, Indiana--where is Elder Swain serving right now?) and Elder Paulos. All 4 of these elders are so stinkin cool! I'm really sad that the two on the right are going home this transfer!!

3.  A better shot of them with the cake.

4. My Happy Birthday banner. It was HUGE!!! To say the least...

5, 6 Happy One year Mark! You can choose which one you like better.

7, 8. The elders enjoying my birthday cake. No worries....I actually had some for myself! That's a first! Seriously.....

9. Really, another flat??

President's Email:

Hey President

 

It was so fun to have you come to our ward yesterday so unexpected! Fast and Testimony meeting was amazing. I'm so grateful to be serving in this ward! It's so fantastic!

As you know we were going to have a miracle week this week. LOL it was crazy! We haven't seen any miracles from it this week, but we sure know that Satan tried to stop us from doing our work. We had 3 of the 4 of our tires go flat (We're pro's at patching them now), I got a migraine, the heat was ridiculous, etc. But we pushed on! I've got a great companion that doesn't love the bike so much, but we're working on that:) She's such a trooper. She's been completely worn out this week!  I love being here and time is flying by way too fast! I can't believe that it is August! I'm absolutely loving life and LOVING being a missionary again! I feel like a real missionary serving with Sister Cluff! I learn so much from her and am blessed to be serving with her!

 

Thank you so much for everything! This is an exciting week for your family! You are all in our thoughts and prayer!

I have a card for Heather...Should I just send it to the mission home?

 

Love Sister Denson!

"We should work at a bike store when we get home!"

She's fixing flats the "old fashioned rubber cement way" that Dad taught her when she was little. She said she's SOOO grateful he  "made us learn how to do things on our own growing up. I'm such a handy woman these days.  :) "

July 26, 2010--No official email...AGAIN!!

Sammi and I chatted quite a bit today so she didn't write an official email to me and didn't send pictures. She forgot her camera and PROMISES she'll send some next week.

Here is her President's email:

President Hale-

I love serving here in Boynton. The ward is amazing and there are so many members on board with missionary work. It's so fun! I love my companion and I love serving with her. She is so fun and so spiritual. It's such a refreshing start.

We've come across the same problem all week as we teach the Restoration. People aren't understanding the Apostacy, and we aren't sure why. We feel like we are explaining it simple and by the spirit, but it's just not clicking with people. We're going to study it out and find out what we can improve on.

I don't know if Sister Cluff told you, but this week we are going to have a Miracle Week (She says it in German, but I don't how to say it.)! We're going to be on bikes all week. Every day! I'm so excited! I love the bike so much! I have such an inspired companion. I love her.

Thank you so much for everything!

Love, Sister Denson

PS Don't forget to tell Heather I said Hi!!!!

Here are excerpts from our "chat":

•  I love my Happy Birthday pillowcase by the way! The letters were so so fun! I'll write a card to the whole family so you can read it to them next month at FHE. My favorite was all the pictures though. There is one of dad where he is just sitting with the dogs on the blanket. It's one of the first ones in the stack. He's got the cutest grin on his face. I hung it up above my study desk where all my other family pictures are. What do you want me to do with the banner?? It' HUGE by the way! We got the package right before we wen in for the night. Sister Cluff got up in the night and baked my cake! She's so adorable! It was so fun because she is so not a cook!!!! LOL
• The cicadas are here!!! They are so annoying!!!!! (She experienced these for the first time in Nauvoo/Missouri when we went back there 4 years ago. Amazingly annoying!!!!!)
• (Paraphrased...) She's DYING in the heat and humidity and riding her bike. She's showering twice a day on "bike days" which we were warned about. I can't imagine!

There were other things but not "blog-worthy." She better come through next week! :)

July 19, 2010--It's an ADVENTURE!!

Sammi is now serving in Boynton Beach with Sister Cluff from Erda, Utah. (Complete opposite end of the mission!)

Hey guys!!

 

Sounds like you all had fun at the camp out! It's like I went on a camp out too this week. LOL. Me and Sister Cluff live alone, which is really weird. I've always lived with 2-3 other sisters. It's so quiet in the apartment. It sure is a good thing I love her so much! LOL She is such a hard worker and someone who only desires to be obedient. I'm really excited for that because I haven't always lived with sisters like that, or had companions like that. 

It's cool to live with only one other person though. The apartment doesn't get dirty, you get your own bathroom, it's quiet all the time, you are able to really focus and get everything done. Plus, not only do I get my own bathroom, but I have like the biggest bathroom ever! I have the master bath. I'll have to take a pic and send it to you guys. LOL It rocks!

 

I love Sister Cluff! She reminds me so much of Sister Pirotta! That is such a compliment too! All she is missing is the curly hair! LOL. She actually reminds me a lot of Miss Julie from elementary school. Her looks at least....Weird that I remember that huh!

 

I don't even know what to tell you about this week. I been so crazy! We actually have set appointments, there is always someone for us to teach, people have common courtesy up here, members call US to come out with us..., and we are just always busy busy busy!! It has definitely made me so tired--especially when we sit down in someone's warm home. LOL I've almost fallen asleep during lessons up here! Once I adjust I'll be good to go though! LOL It's just a little embarrassing in the mean time.

 

Not this past Saturday, but the one before that, the 10th, we were at a service project with the YSA. I met a guy there from the Miami Beach YSA and he's from Kaysville. (His name is Nick Rose.) He's out here on internship with CitiBank. It was so good to talk to him. Making connections wtih people back home is so fun!! He knows Colby Flint, Jake Peterson, Derek Saunders and Chris Young (He used to be in our ward. He lives next door to the Woods). It was so fun! If any of you are on Facebook with Colby, tell him....

 

It's crazy up here. We got to teach this guy the other day, Kenley. He's a soccer player-which automatically makes him cool in my book. He's on scholarship up in New Jersey. He's just here for the summer, but we got to teach him about the Restoration. It was so cool! He totally understood the Apostacy and all about Chirst's life. That is so rare! It was so fun to teach him! I love being a missionary!! This work is so great! I think I'm going to never come home!!!! I'll just do this for the rest of my life. Full-time! It's so fun!!!

 

I hope you guys have an amazing week!!! You are all the best!! I love you so much!!!

 

Love, Sister Denson

 

ps I'll get you some pictures next week.

President's email:

President-

 

I don't remember if I told you last week that I felt so calm and peaceful throughout the day Tuesday. The more I thought about being transfered, the more I was okay with it. Of course, I have the most amazing companion. She reminds me so much of Sister Pirotta, whom I love SO much! She is such a hard worker and so obedient, and I love it!! I'm excited to learn from her and work with her. She is so sweet and Christlike. I love teaching with her and hearing her testimony. She truely has a passion for this work and really wants to do her best.

It has been quite a change for me, but I am loving every minute of it. I love the feeling of being up north again. The people are so nice and they truely have a desire to change. It's such a difference to have the members on board and coming out with us. Something that is just starting in Miami. I've heard so much good about this ward and love it so much already! I'm excited to be here and to serve with the members up here.

This companionship is truely inspired.

Thank you so much or everything!

I love you and Sister Hale so much and am excited to see you tomorrow!

 

Love, Sister Denson

July 13, 2010--I'm leaving my heart in Miami...

NOTE: I'm posting Sammi's "President's Email" first which prefaces her email to the family.

President

 

Last night's phone call was a little surprising. To say I was absolutely shocked would be a lie, but I was still surprised. I didn't expect to hear my name on the list being transfered. I know you said our time was short, but we definitely didn't expect that short! Throughout this whole week I would look in my closet and in my drawers and it just kept coming to me--"You're being transfered." Of course I justified it. I don't want to leave. I've only been here one transfer. I've fallen in love with the members of the Snapper Creek Branch and I have even decided myself to go to a singles ward when I get home. They are so fun and it is so wonderful learning from others your own age. We still struggle a little with getting the members on board, but as we visit them, talk to them at church, sit by them, we are getting to know them and gaining their trust. More are willing to come out with us, and they are doing a fabulous job at fellowshipping our investigators and new members.

 

I cried for a few minutes last night. I want to stay in the YSA, but at the same time I feel so confident in knowing I'll be going where Heavenly Father needs me. (Preferably the YSA, LOL) I'm so grateful for the things that I have learned and for the time that I have had in Miami. I love this place! It's going to be so weird not to be here!! I've been here 7 months.

 

I'm sad to go....you know that. I get emotionally attached to people. I can't say I didn't see it coming though. I'm eternally grateful I got to serve down here in the Miami 4th Ward and the Snapper Creek Young Single Adult Branch.

 

Thanks for everything!

We'll see you tomorrow!

 

Love, Sister Denson

FAMILY EMAIL

Can you believe I'm being transfered! I've been here 5 transfers! President Hale told us we would be together through August, but that obviously isn't happening. Like I said in President's email I felt it coming. I just kept saying to myself, "I've got SO MUCH STUFF!!!!!" I have so many clothes too. Lol It's hard for me to have only 2 suitcases of stuff!!!

 

Anyway, I'll let you know where I go on Monday. Mom, don't check the blog. I want to tell you myself where I am going!!!

Here are the things I want to reply to about the letter you sent me this week, Mom:

1. I want to try one pair of mesh garments. Everyone tells me how fabulous they are.

2. I've told you all the MoTab cd's I have like 3 times. I'm sending my cases home today. There should be 4 of them. I have 9 cd's total. On of them being Consider the Lilies that a member gave me.

3. I'll take anything clotheswise! lol I had to give Hermana Briggs like 7 shirts this week that I don't wear. I have SO MANY clothes!

4. I haven't been sleeping lately, so I put some of that tension oil on one night. It was fabulous! I haven't been able to use the bug repellant yet. I got a gallon of distilled water last night, got it all mixed up, and then go the phone call that I am being transfered. Lol good thing the bottle was only $1.59!

5. You said you were going to send a talk from Bishop Chandler, but there was no talk in the box......

 

The Sisters Conference was awesome. I learned so much from the Senior Sisters. It was really hard to say goodbye to Sister Call. It won't officially set in until I go to my next Zone Conference. We've been at all the same zone conference's except my first one. It'll be weird. I really hope she emails me so I can write here and we can keep in touch. She's like my best friend out here! Give her a huge hug for me!

 

Bradley is doing fabulous. He came to church this week and he was in a full suit and everything. Everyone thought he was a member!!! Lol it was fabulous. He's got the part in the hair and everything! I'm really going to miss teaching him. He's got such thought provoking questions. They test our knowledge! It's fun because we're able to go home and study it out and then go back to him with the answers. We're also teaching another girl named Jessica Rodriguez. We extended a soft baptism date to her last Thursday. She is so adorable. I think I mentioned her like right after we got put in the branch....

 

Tell Elder Gubernick's mom that I got a picture of him! We rode the TriRail to sisters conference and then some elders picked us up and took us to the mission home. Elder Gubernick and his companion Elder Edwards took us back to the station. Elder G knew I was a missionary mom missionary, so to make his mom happy I got a snapshot of him. Lol don't expect this to be a frequent happening..... He's awesome though. I hope to serve around both those elders sometime soon!!

 

I saw how skinny Aaron was last week in the picture you sent me. He looks absolutely fabulous! I'm so excited to see him!

 

I hope you guys have fun at the campout this weekend! Except, come on, a movie projection.....That's not camping!!! How come Demi has to stay behind??

 

Don't believe what you see in CSI:Miami. It's a beautiful town only in some parts. LOL But I know they don't film it here......

 

 I love you guys! I hope you have a wonderful week! Wish me luck tomorrow! Better yet, just keep me in your prayers!!

Love, Sister Denson

July 6, 2010--Hey Guys!!

Sounds like you had a great 4th of July! It didn't rain here on Saturday night, but we did have a fun night! We went and visited the sweetest guy in the hospital. He had gastric bypass surgery 5 years ago, and a few months ago he started having pains in his stomach. The doctors just thought it was gas, but turns out to be he had a hernia in his small intestine which twisted up and then got shoved up inside his stomach!! How horrible does that sound?? He's been in the hospital for a month and a half--with his stomach open!! It's just recently been closed up and on Saturday he got to have juice and jello for the first time. Crazy. He had such a good attitude about it. Maybe that has something to do with the amount of drugs he was on..... I'm not sure. Then we went to "English Class." Apuleyo, the one who was just baptized only speaks Spanish. A guy in our ward--mind you who is British--is teaching English classes. Lol it was ridiculous. John only speaks English--British English, and Apuleyo only speaks Spanish. It was a riot.

 

Sunday we went to church--I of course tried to fast because of fast Sunday, but got kicked in the rear end with a migraine. We stayed home for the rest of the night. I was so mad at myself. Yeah, that will be the last time I try that one. I haven't been getting migraines for a long time until just recently. I had one for 3 days a few weeks ago, before Zone Conference. I talked to the Bishop of the 4th ward who is a pharmacist. He told me to try Excedrin Migraine. It was gone in like 40 minutes! How ridiculous is that!

 

Anyway, you read about my day yesterday from Presidents email. We only heard a few fireworks all weekend. They had shops set up everywhere to buy the fireworks, but they only sold them on Saturday and Sunday. Oh speaking of which, mom, you forgot to add the money to go buy sparklers. Lol it was fun thought though! They've taken all the stands down, so the fun is over....

 

This week has been really long. I can't even remember what else happened.... I met with President on Wednesday for PPI's. All is well. He's so awesome. I love chatting with him one on one. I'm excited to go to Sisters Conference this week. We don't know anything about the conference except the theme is "what I wish I'd known earlier." I think they had one like this a year ago and the senior sisters taught a lot about what they wished they'd known earlier..... That's all I know though. We'll for sure get a Sister Missionary Mom photo.

 

Did you hear about Elder Steele? He got transferred on Wednesday right after PPI's. He went down to Homestead South (Our Tongan elder that just got transferred in from Oakland went home). We got a brand new missionary, Elder Henrie, from Park City. He said he would be related to the Henries down in Syracuse because any with the same spelling as him they are related to. I have no idea what his first name it. I met him for like 4 minutes on Sunday....

 

I was reading July's Ensign and it announces all the new mission presidents for this year. There is one that we might know....Stephen H Broadbent called to the Kenya, Nairobi mission. Is that our orthodontist.....? I can't remember what his middle initial is.

 

Yes, I bought a bike for my basket! I finally found one. I love it already. I'll get a picture this week and send it next week.

 

I'm glad you all are doing so well!! Oh, and I'm glad you got to see Mark and Julie this week. Julie wrote me a few weeks ago and I keep forgetting to write her back! Tell her its coming!!

 

LOVE YOU TONS!!!! Have a good week!!!

LOVE, Sam

 

I mean, Sister Denson!!! Lol Love ya!
