Slick Sharkesha

Hey y'all! 

Sorry I'm getting to y'all a day late. We had zone conference yesterday! Zone conference is just a really big meeting with a lot of missionaries, their leaders, and the mission president and his wife. It's a great meeting. 

Its been a pretty good week. Went to the doctor yesterday and I'm doing a lot better! My ankle healing really well. I can start walking a little bit, but I can't just jump back into it. But, I will survive!

Alicia and Sheila are doing well! Both of them sit together in church and seem to get along really well. I'm glad they have each other. :) and the members are soooooo amazing! They fellowship Investigators and help us in any way. 

Pam and Steph are still super cute and silly. I just love the Jones family! 

The coolest, nicest, #blessed moment was when we had car exchanges during zone conference. Sister Cluff and I got the Assistants to the Presidents car.... 2017 Chevy Malibu! It's slick and they named her Sharkesha. So we renamed her Slick Shaekesha. 

In zone conference, we were able to see the new Easter initiative that the church is going to put out this week. #PRINCEOFPEACE. IT'S SO GOOD! March 31st, go to lds.org or mormon.org to see the video and share it! I know the Savior lived, died, and resurrected so that we can live again with our Father in Heaven. 

Also, this upcoming weekend is general conference! It's a huge broadcast and all members around the world get to listen and see the Prophet, 12 apostles, and other general authorities. It's one of my favorite times of year. Visit lds.org or mormon.org to watch it! 

Thanks y'all for the prayers and emails and letters and encouragement! It means so much to me! Remember the Savior in all you do and don't forget about General Conference!

Meet the new Sister

Hey y'all! 

Its been an interesting week for sure. We got a car! It was so strange because we got a call from the APs (Assistants to the President) but they didn't leave a voice mail. We thought for sure one of us was going to be emergency transferred. We called after proselyting hours and so casually they said we were picking up our car tomorrow morning! So Friday we upgraded from the wheelchair to a Toyota Corolla! They said they don't want me to sit in the heat, but really they don't want Sister Cluff to die while pushing me! 

It has really heated up here in Monrovia! Like, high 90s. I got a real good tan after just one day in the sun. That's a huge plus. 

Alicia is still progressing! We are so excited for her to be baptized soon! 

Sheila is progressing too, so that's really awesome to see. 

Micheal got the priesthood and was ordained to the office of a priest yesterday! That made us extremely happy. Even that doesn't describe it. His kids are so sweet and awesome! We hung out with them today and it was so fun!

Hope everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day and ate plenty of Irish food! For 2 meals we had corn beef, cabbage, and potatoes. It was so good. 

With General conference coming up, I can't help but feel joy for the knowledge of a prophet here on the earth. Our leaders have truly been called from God and they hold the authority to act in God's name. I'm thankful to know that I'm a beloved daughter of a loving Heavenly Father. I'm thankful for the plan of salvation and the Atonement. This gospel brings so much peace and joy. 

I love y'all and don't forget who you are and who loves you

Sister Sorensen 

Just call me Skippy!

 Hey y'all!

Thank you so much for the prayers! My ankle is getting better. It's a good joke in the ward. 

My new nickname is Skippy. I'm not sure why, but I think it's funny :) The wheelchair helps so 

much! I even got a boot today so I can start walking more. 

The weather is so amazing here! 90 degrees already! Y'all know how I feel about the cold 

weather. And an advantage about this heat is that it's dry, so it's not as bad as 90 degrees 

in the good ole NC. 

Everything is pretty awesome there! I think the sweetest part of this week was this inactive 

member saying that Sister Cluff and I made her whole year by stopping by! She's such a 

sweet lady. She even gave us some food and a knee wrap (ankle injuries cause knee injuries.. 

Especially when you're Sister Sorensen).

Please keep the people of Monrovia in your prayers! People are being prepared and the 

members here are so amazing! 

I may not know everything, but I do know that this gospel is true. I know that Jesus Christ is 

the center of this church and His gospel has been restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. 

I know that Thomas S. Monson is the current prophet who guides this church. I know that 

the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and goes hand in hand with the 

Bible. I know God is our loving Heavenly Father who wants us to return to Him. I know 

families can be sealed forever in the temple. 

Love y'all so much! 

Sister Sorensen

1. You can see the moon and the cloud looks like an angel! Janie 

(a lady we do service with/for) pointed it out.

2. Stephanie (a little girl we're teaching) and I! All the kids love pushing me around. 

I try to have fun with it :)

And then there were 2

Hey y'all! 

Its been a week! Thank you for all the encouraging emails and prayers! My ankle is getting better and things will be 

back to normal soon enough. 

Transfers happened today and Sister Colson is going home! We are going to miss her so much! But Sister Cluff and I 

are staying together! Yay! I wouldn't want anyone else pushing my wheelchair ;) Monrovia is just an awesome area! 

Micheal got baptized! Yay! He was glowing the whole time. There's a sticky note in my scriptures that I see everyday 

that says, "See People In White." That brought tears to my eyes! It makes it all worth it.

Alicia is still going to get baptized! I'm so excited for her. She's going to be a great member. 

David and Sheila are working! 

We haven't been able to meet with Pamela and Stephaine for a long time now. Their family got sick :( Please keep 

them in your thoughts and prayers. 

To my old MTC district, I got my cranberry juice! Janie (a lady we do service with) gave it to me and I literally was so 

excited! I got a picture, just for y'all :)

I think the coolest part of this week was doing a bunch of service! We helped a family move some stuff around their 

house, helped cook for the homeless lunch at the Methodist church, and helping Janie with random stuff. It was weird 

being in casual clothes! I used to live in my running shorts and leggings. Now I feel weird not wearing a dress! Funny 

how that works.

Y'all are amazing! Keep reading your scriptures and saying your prayers! It's the little things that truly add up. I know 

that Heavenly Father speaks to us through His written word and our latter-day prophets. I know that the Savior walked 

this earth and He suffered for us so that we can one day return to our Father in Heaven. Love y'all!

PS

On Tuesday we went to the temple visitor center with Micheal! He's so excited to go do the work for his family! 

I love that gospel has eternal families!
