Dear Family,

Happy Father's Day Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you had an awesome day. Thank you for your example and the love you've shown me throughout my life. I look up to you more than you know! I'm glad Mom's treatment went well and that she is recovering well. I love and miss all of you!

Love,

Fun facts about Georgia:

The Khachapuri there is sooo good and filled with cheese.

Dad's friend, S, knows the missionaries up in Georgia...I didn't get to meet her, but hopefully next time!

I got to attend a baptism there of someone from a different country...it was so amazing! He had such an incredible history...I wish I could tell you over the internet!

The buses there actually are tall enough for you to stand up in without being hunched over.

I was able to speak a little bit of Armenian in lessons, but mostly needed the other missionaries to translate the Georgian for me.

I tried shlor...which is a food that looks and tastes like crab apples, but has a pit inside.

Georgian elections were Sunday...I don't know who won...

There are gypsies in Georgia.

Georgia was way more European than I thought it would be! They also had a Wendy's, McDonald's and Subway!!

Dear President,

I really enjoyed being able to go to all of the Zone Conferences this past week. They were all different, but so great. It was good to hear and learn from all of the different missionaries. I liked the set up of having different missionaries speak and share their thoughts as prompted by the Spirit. I was also very surprised about your sweet comment about me being Christlike...I didn't really know what to say to that in the moment, but I'm very thankful for that sweet compliment. It lifted me. 

I had a chance to talk to Sister T after the Center Zone Conference again. Sister Wand I were thinking about possibly sending a mini down for a little bit. 

Elder M also talked to me a little bit about the sisters in Vandzor...they are still struggling after exchanges. Sister K isn't talking in Armenian and Sister J feels overwhelmed. We are going to work with the Zone Leaders and District Leaders on an individual basis and encourage them to support SYLing and learning vocabulary within the district as much as possible. 

As far as Georgia goes...the Georgian sisters are all doing well! We had a nice exchange with them. They are doing really well as far as the work goes. Sister B is doing so well with teaching and with the language (as far as the Zone Leaders have told us regarding the language). Sister Sis still struggling with the language and so Sister W set goals with her on that. I met with Sister S to talk about how to help strengthen Sister S and to help lead the other sisters. I think Sister S's biggest problem is just her pride. She has the potential to help the sisters a lot more, but she chooses not to sometimes. I asked her what she's doing now to help the sisters become leaders for when she is gone. She set goals on strengthening them spiritually. So we will be following up on that. Sister C had a one on one with me and her concern was mostly about having effective studies. We talked about studying with questions in mind for investigators and she set goals on studying more with questions in order to use her time more wisely. She is doing well with the language and wants to get out of a trio real bad...So does Sister B. I spent most of my time with Sister B and she just said the hardest thing for her now is to let the younger sisters take over because she doesn't trust them...I'm sure you know about all of the details, but I talked a lot with Sister B about letting people help her. Overall, it's just going to be a conscious decision for her...she's going to have to choose it. There are some obedience issues we are going to work with them on as well (like getting home on time and planning.) We talked a lot with the Zone Leaders and are going to contact them once a week to see how the Georgians are doing on their goals and obedience. We have some thoughts for transfers too, which we can talk to you about if you want. We know you talk to the Georgian Zone Leaders a lot about that too, and they know the sisters there very well.

It was good to see you and Sister C a lot this week. I love and respect both of you so much!

Love,

Sister Morreall
