10/10/16

Hey! Ok so this week is kind of a blur haha so much happened so I'll do my best to summarize :) To start of sister Hyde and I got to go to a mission leadership council (MLC) on Tuesday. It was amazing!!!! All the other stls and zone leaders in the mission were there and the APs and President and Sister Jardine gave some trainings and then we discussed what the baptism goal for October should be. It was a really spiritual experience as we all shared our thoughts and impressions. We came up with the goal of 25 baptisms for this month. I am super excited for that goal :) I know that we can hit it!! After that we had a training about love and charity. We did this fun role play where we formed two lines facing each other and we, all at the same time, had to compliment the person across from us in like 20 seconds. We had to make sure the compliments fell under the categories of attitude, work ethic, obedience, and knowledge. Then we had to rotate. Kind of like speed dating haha. It was really cool because a lot of the compliments I was given were things I though I was weakest at like knowledge... The point was that if we have love and charity for each other and for people we meet just for everyone, then everything else will fall into place and our goals will be hit. We ended it with the scripture in Mathew 22:36-39 ❤️️ 
Then we had zone training which is where sister Hyde and I got together with the zone leaders and took what we learned from MLC and put together our own training for our zone. It ended up being awesome and I think each member of the zone felt loved and happy which made us all feel more unified. I just love being a missionary!!! 
Another fun thing happened is week! I got to go on exchanges with Sister Davis!!! I love that girl so much. She is such a hard worker and a good teacher. We had fun :) Sister Hyde went to east sac with sister Lalomanu :) 
Then on Sunday our recent convert Ron from the YSA Ward got the priesthood!! Yay :) He is so awesome I can't even tell ya! 
It was my very first time going to a YSA Ward lol it felt so weird to me but it was way fun and I am just super pumped to be here! We also cover a home Ward. The fair oaks third Ward and I found out one of my dads cousins is in the Ward! Small world :) 
Anywho this week was great and I can't wait for the next one!! Time is a flyin... it's freaking me out lol 
Love you all! Have a great week! Oh ya and happy birthday uncle Dallin! How old are you...like 50 by now right? ;) love you!!
Love,
Sister Harley Munk❤️️ 0/16

10/03/2016

So to start off my mom told me that people are confused about what an STL is haha sorry sometimes I forget people who aren't missionaries don't know mission lingo my bad! So basically STL stands for sister training leader. Sister Hyde and I have been given 3 amazing companionships of sisters to serve, help, and love. As sister training leaders we go on exchanges with those sisters and we basically just get to know them and help them with whatever they need physically, spiritually, mentally you name it! So we are more like sister training servants :) So far it has been fun! The only major differences is there are more meetings and we call President Jardine a lot haha We also get to go to the mission leadership council (MLC) with the zone leaders and APs and president and sister Jardine of course, to make goals for the months and year and also to discuss what the needs of the individual missionaries are. I am really excited and also humbled because let's be honest I'm so under qualified for this job. But whom the Lord calls he qualifies and I have 100% faith in that. 
Anyways this week has been really busy. Like insanely busy!! Between meetings and teaching appointments and General conference we have barley found time to eat haha JK we eat plenty but it seems like the days are going by faster because we have so much to do. I am absolutely loving the YSA Ward so far! We also cover a family Ward :) I like having two wards again! So much work to be done :) The most frustrating thing with YSA so far is addiction. Like real serious addictions that are way hard to overcome. Just don't do drugs kids. But I am excited to see the atonement in action as sister Hyde and I do all we can to help these spirit brothers and sisters of ours. 
It was truly a blessing to be able to watch conference his weekend. Conference time is my favorite time of the year!! There were so many amazing talks but the ones that I loved the most were the ones that talked about Joy. What a happy and awesome word! Following the gospel path is the best and really only way to find true happiness and joy in a world so full of wickedness. I hope each of you enjoyed watching General conference and felt the spirit as you did. Not going to lie it made me a little homesick not watching conference in my pjs with my fam haha one more conference and then it's back to pjs and lazy conference weekend :) #nottrunky 
Ok well I love each of you so much and I miss you all lots and lots. Have a good weekend! Send me pics of the snowy mountains!!!!! I miss seeing them! Say your prayers and read your scriptures:) 
Love,
Sister Harley Munk 
Ps be sure to participate in my fb post about conference. I'm going to ask a question so answer it! Let's see if we can start some awesome gospel discussions with our friends and family. MISSIONARY WORK ROCKS!!!
