More News from Katelyn

Mom,

My favorite talk was also Elder Holland's talk, he just kind of slaps you in the face. I love it!

Ok one of the biggest things that annoys me being out here are the members!! Each night when we have dinner, we share a message and challenge them to invite someone to something that's church related. When we do that a lot of people get super offended because they think we're just passing our work off to them! NO! We are asked to do that by general authorities! And people think the missionaries are more spiritually inclined than everyone else because we're wearing the name tag. The only difference between us and members is a name tag.. That's it. Don't expect the missionaries to do everything. We need help. I don't think people realize how much work we have to do each day. And when we're having dinner all the members want to do is sit and chat. That's another no-no. They need to allow us to share a message and talk about missionary work. We rely on the members to help give referrals. Members should offer to help in anyway they can.

She also sent a couple of pictures. The first is with her companion at the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant. The second is with her companion and the ashtray one of their investigators gave them when she committed to quit smoking.
