ITLs Skittles

Every missionary has to have one of these pics ;)
It has been a good week :). We got to have dinner with some of our investigators on Wednesday. It was fun cause we got to be with all three of them because they hangout together and two of them live in the same building. It is great teaching them lessons because it is like teaching a small class about the gospel each week :).

We've also had some small changes in the regular mission stuff. We are now trying to get what we call ITLs (like skittles without the sk) and that stands for Inviting To Learn. President Stoker wants us to invite more people in an effort to find those who are truly ready to learn. And we need more investigators so this will help :). And the fun part about these is we are having a competition. Whatever district gets the most ITLs will win a lunch with President Stoker. So far we are doing pretty well with over 100 ITLs in just a few days :).

We also got to have a last minute exchange with the sister training leaders this weekend. It was fun cause I got to go to their area and experience a new area for the first time! It was amazing to me how small the towns there are! I am so grateful to be in Burlington! haha. But, it was a wonderful experience to see a new area and learn what the majority of our mission is like. :)

Wrapping up, I was just so grateful for the package I got from my Papa Tyler. He included an inspirational letter and some lesson outlines that he put together. I don't have a ton of time to read them but I enjoy reading a bit at night about Faith and how to better develop it.

I hope all is going well with the rest of the world, cause things are pretty awesome here in Vermont :).

Sincerely, Sister Tyler

  3. We are so happy you are privileged to serve in such a beautiful part of the world. We pray for you to be successful and safe. So fun to hear about your teaching experiences and hope those 3 friends will be supportive of each other and be baptized on the same day. How cool would that be. Follow the Spirit at all times :) Love Gma and Gpa Lyman
