Hi my momma!!!I love you so much mom, i really do. thanks for being the best.This week was exciting! We got to go to The Savior of the World! Its a musical (ah!!!!!) about Jesus Christ and man I wish I could see it everyday! It reminded me so much of who I am representing and serving. Everyone needs to see it! It was so beautiful and of course I loved it cause it was a musical!!! Blessed! This week has just been a miraculous week, my prayers are getting answered everyday! The prayers I say outloud and in my heart have been answered in the most beautiful ways im so grateful! I was really struggling with patience- with myself mostly- and all throughout the week I was able to recognize when I was getting sad because I wasnt doing the best and I was able to be okay with it! It was weird honestly but I know that was Heavenly Father helping me see that I am doing okay. Im so grateful for the comfort of the spirit. Im really learning what it means when people say that the spirit isnt just a big revelatory or something but it really is a simple small voice.I was reading in D+C this week and it is full of gold!!!!!! I love it! I was reading in section 78 and man every verse was hitting me so hard, but verses 17-19 stuck out to me so hard. I love when it says "And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along" aw i love that so much!! I love how sweet and comforting it is. It reminds me of the hymn I Know That My Redeemer Lives. The lyrics"Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!” " I just love it so much. I just reminds me that its okay if we are having a hard time, Heavenly Father knows that we are, and He is there for usI went to my first baptism this week! Their names were stephany and Justin and they were so amazing! It was so beautiful seeing how much the gospel changed their lives! My companion and I were on exchanges and so Sister Pincock(my district leader )andItook them on a tour with the local missionaries who were teaching them and they loved us so much that they invited us! It meant so much! It was seriously so much fun seeing the difference in how happy they were:)AH this week my companion's friend, who lives here in salt lake, came and brought us a bunch of Thai food and it was so amazing!! apparently he does it every week sooo im blessed to have sister ratmaet as a companion!Also teaching center (where we teach and meet people online) is so funny aahahha sometimes we get some crazy people and its hilarious and sometimes we get people who call in and are like "ya i wanna get baptized, how can I do that?" so thats pretty cool but I talked to this guy from Ireland the other day and now him and his girlfriend are getting baptized!! So cool!! I love talking to people from all around the world! its so much fun! I also met a guy from lethbridge and it was so weird ahahha but i had to call the narries and so i was hoping that it would be elder fellows!!! but it wasnt dang it but still so cool!!!I LOVE U SO MUCH!!!Have a good week:)Sister Piepgrass

I love sharing my testimony everyday and even when people are mean and kinda make fun of us (happens more than i thought) i still feel the spirit. I am also learning to LOVE the history of the pioneers that came here to temple square. they were such amazing, strong, faithful people!!! aw its so awesome here!!! my favourite scripture this week has been Jacob 6:55 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, I beseech of you in words of soberness that ye would repent, and come with full purpose of heart, and cleave unto God as he cleaveth unto you. And while his arm of mercy is extended towards you in the light of the day, harden not your hearts.i just love how it uses the word cleave!! thats so powerful. I love it so much.yes in the pictures i am wearing an ugly gramma sweater and sister young is wearing an ugly Christmas sweater no regrets we had to have east high colours onI love you all and i miss you!!!!!!!!!!!Sister Piepgrass
haha oh man mom this was easily one of the hardest weeks of my life and its only week one in but it was also one of the most rewarding and eye opening weeks of my life and i'm so grateful for that:)okay first off, on my FIRST DAY HERE i was walking back from lunch in the tunnels casually (hehe) and me and my companion are just talking and i wasn't looking up and then all of the sudden we hear a "hey sisters!" and we look up and its David. A Bednar ahahahha like sorry what???!!! and guess who was with him. 9 OTHER APOSTLES. so on my first day i got to meet 10/12 apostles which was pretty sick they are all very nice and i was freaking out the entire time ahahahoh ya okay so my comps name is Sister Ratmaet and shes from Thailand and shes very very nice:) its hard at times because she has a very strong accent so I cant understand it very well haha so that's kinda hard but its okay! She knows the history of Temple Square really well and shes taught me so much already! sometimes i'm scared she thinks i'm annoying but the again I am annoying so I just accept it lolOh also some big news!!! two of my investigators are getting baptized!!! yay!!!! One of them is from Alabama (dad!!! thats your mission!!!) And the other one is from Utah so I might be able to go to her baptism:) It makes me so happy hearing my investigators want to grow and come closer to Christ! Seriously nothing brings me more joy!! The one from Alabama getting baptized is from a small island near Australia and then he moved to Alabama ahah random i know but hes so nice and its so awesome!!!!This week was so hard though because I've learned so hard that I need to be humble. I have had to humble myself countless of times everyday being here. and its so hard!!! I really struggled with understanding why I was called to temple square and tbh I still am but I'm learning to trust the Lord and trust that He has a plan for me that I may not understand right now.One of my friends sent me this story and it touched my heart so much. And I hope that everyone reads it and tries to see a way in their lives that they can improve and give their all to the Lord even without knowing the end result!!Once upon a time there was a King, who had a big castle, on the biggest hill, looking over his kingdom. He was a loving king and loved his people, and the people, for the most part, loved the king. The King got all of his water from the rain, but this particular year was a dry one. The king realized that he was running low on water, and made the following announcement to his kingdom. "I am having a magnificent feast at my castle, and you are all invited. To be accepted into the feast though, you have to bring water." Of course this raised many questions, so the people started asking, "How much water? A bucket, a barrel?" the King responded with "Whatever you feel like giving." The day of the feast came, and the villagers walked up the big hill on which the castle was on, the more generous villagers carrying barrels of water, some carrying buckets of water, and the more selfish ones, carrying thimbles of water. Once the water was given to the King, the king informed them to go enjoy the feast, and leave the containers that they brought the water in outside. And what a magnificent feast it was, with all kinds of exotic foods, and fruits and deserts. At the conclusion of the feast, the King reminded them to not forget the containers in which they brought the water in. When the villagers walked out to grab their containers, in astonishment, they saw that their containers were all filled with gold. they thought the reward for bringing the water was the feast, not even knowing about the gold. That night, the villagers who walked up with barrels of water, walked down with barrels of gold, villagers who walked up with buckets of water, walked down with buckets of gold, and yes, the selfish villages who walked up with a thimble of water, walked down with a thimble of gold. Brothers and Sisters, the work that we put into this life, will greatly reward us in the life to come. Let us use our agency wisely. Agency is not only a choice between good and evil, but also, at times, between good and better, or better and best. It is good that we go to church, but it might be a little better if we put our distractions away and focus on feeling the Spirit. It is good that we read our scriptures, but probably better that we ponder them.Aw man I just love you all and I'm so grateful for all of you. I am so happy that I am on a mission. I know the Lord loves all of us and He is there for all of us.Something that my district leader said to me the other day was "Just picture Jesus sitting right next to you, and your head is on His shoulder and you are telling Him everything that you're struggling with. And picture Him comforting you and giving you a big hug." I never thought about it like that! But Jesus DOES know what we are going through. and He DOES love us through it all and He wants us to be happy, he doesn't want us holding on to the things that are holding us back from becoming our best selves. I am so happy and grateful that we have the gospel on the earth, and that it is my job for the next year and a half to bring that happiness to others!i seriously dont have any time for pics sooo rip butthe first pic is my last night at the mtc ahahahh such a mess it was a wreck i cried so muchand then its just me heheand then they spelt my name wrong for my tags lol:(
