Dear Family!

Can you believe June is already here?  I can't believe it has been almost a year since I have seen y'all.  The time has been flying by.  One thing that was hard for me was feeling like I could have/should have been a better missionary at the beginning of my mission.

My dear friend Sister Keller told me not to judge myself 6 months ago based on what I now know.  Life is meant to be lived in crescendo.  We are constantly learning new things.  A lot of missionaries are nearing the end of their missions.  Their attitudes have been: I have to sprint for the finish.  That is great, but some are scared to go home because it is ''the end'' I like the analogy of the end of a mission being a springboard for the rest of eternity.  The mission is a very condensed time of spiritual growth and I find myself constantly saying, I am so glad I learned this or that, because I know I will need that as a wife and mother.  I am so grateful to be serving right here, right now.  Heavenly Father truly loves us. I can see evidence of that everyday.

This week we came in contact with and taught an investigator we haven't seen since January.  She is super solid, but because of crazy work schedules, she can only come to church once a week.  Please pray for her.

And Carlos and his mother are amazing missionaries.  They have been inviting everyone they know to church and church activities.  Member missionary, they do out of love, for the gospel and their friends.  Ah, I love this church so much!  People will see the blessings of righteous living; so don't be afraid to share your light and the reason for the hope within you.

I love you all!!!!!  Have a fantastic week!!!

Liebe Grüße
Sister Turner
