Sister Atchley's LDS Mission: She is in California now. 12/15/15

She is in California now. 12/15/15

I got this letter this afternoon.

Hey I will send photos from the MTC eventually. I was orphaned this morning because my MTC companion's visa didn't come so she had to go back to Canada. We all made it safely through the airport, but I slept on the plane. We had to drop off Sister Oikle at 2:30 or something ridiculous so I basically didn't sleep last night and I slept on the plane. Also I dressed to get off the plane not to get on it so I basically died in the snow in Utah. BUT I SAW REAL SNOWFLAKES AND BEAUTIFUL SNOW MY LAST DAY AT THE MTC. They were actually snowflake shaped. Neat

She sent these two pictures, I have no idea who any of these people are and I assume it is in California, though I may be wrong.

A little further research on his name tag makes him the Mission President and his wife for the Irvine mission.

This is her with some other random people and the mission President and wife.

4/11/2016 D&C 50
4/18/2016 Go to discover.mormon.org and read all the little things and watch the cute videos. They're really good simple explanations of our beliefs. They helped me know how to explain things simply.
4/25/2016 Alma7:11-13 and I want you to pay very close attention to the reason behind the word "nevertheless".
5/2/2016 Y'all should read "The Fourth Missionary" and replace missionary with Latter-Day Saint.
5/9/2016 Absolute Truths by President Kimball Bonus: Isiah 58, learn about fasting!
5/16/2016 1Thessalonians2. Compare it with D&C18:15-16
5/23/206 Alma 40 is actually a really hilariously sassy chapter. Read it like you would imagine someone sounding if this was the fourth time they'd explained the same thing to you.
5/30/2016 Mountains to Climb - Henry B Eyring The Law of Increasing Returns - Also Henry B Eyring
6/6/2016 Mosiah 4. Pay close attention to what King Benjamin is trying to tell us in the last two verses. Also Mosiah 5:1 "So anyway does that make sense?" after like 3 chapters of intense throw down.
6/13/2016 No reading assignment but a challenge instead. Pray only for other people this week. I'm doing it and it's actually amazing. Also it's made me realize a lot about how much I ask Heavenly Father for.
6/20/2016 2Peter chapter 3. Notice what he says about Paul in verses 15-16.
6/27/2016 Alma 3. Look for when Mormon takes the opportunity to teach us gospel principles.
7/5/2016 Alma 5 in Elder Holland's voice and learn like 5 things you need to repent of. It works every time.
7/11/2016 Alma 12. If you've received your endowments, consider the temple as you're reading. If you have not, learn about the plan of salvation anyway because it's good.
7/18/2016 Yellow Canaries with Gray on Their Wings
7/25/2016 D&C19
8/1/2016 The Shoes of a Winner by Elder Robert L. Backman
If you want to be slightly uncomfortable:
Brad and Jenny by Jack Weyland

8/8/2016 Rather than a reading assignment this week: Set some time aside to say a prayer. Pray until you clearly feel the spirit, however long that takes. After you're feeling the spirit pray as it directs.

8/15/16 Alma 22 because I relate really well to the king of the Lamanites.
