THE GREATEST BROADCAST OF ALL TIME

OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay so i feel that this letter will mostly focus on the AMAZING broadcast from last night, since i was smart and actually brought my NOTES to the library this time hahaha and this week was pretty regular anyways. :) but just a quick re-cap......... we have the greatest ward ever and i love them, nacho is my new bff, she came with us to a lesson and bore the GREATEST testimony of prayer that totally brought the spirit like woah and made the whole lesson amazing, it was awesome, we volunteer at the habitat for humanity restore which is the greatest idea ever, it's like home depot meets goodwill and dad would love it, and while i was there i made up mad-gabs (sometimes it's pretty slow, especially when there are thunder & lightning storms ps we have had the biggest craziest thunderstorms of my life this week) and so here is my mad-gab: "chilled rent office real." i was pretty proud of myself. (that could be an indicator for how the week went............ take it however you like hahaha) :) :)

SO THEN THERE WAS THIS BROADCAST. and hooooooooolyy smokies was it good. and boy howdy did i need it. and did i cry? why yes i did because it was amazing and i felt it. :) :) i mayyyy have mentioned last letter about the seven-month-slump and i how i feel like i'm getting worse at a missionary and how i feel like i'm not good at anything? did i mention that? i think so. anyways, Heavenly Father is merciful and loving and aware, and it's not like everything is 100% better but let me tell you two things that are amazing: 1) CHURCH. 2) the Spirit. and they go together like wham. it's the best. God really does know what He's doing with these commandments hahaha. :) :) :) also, living apostles & prophets & modern revelation. i just can't get over that hahaha it's JUST SO COOL :) :) :) :) :)

sooooooooooo bascially it was the best. and i love this ward because they are already ALL over it!! they always invite their friends to dinner with us, or to church, or they text us and say they want to come out with us, and when we passed around a "when do you have some time to come out with the sister missionaries" calendar it came back FULL. yes, they are the best. :) :) :)

so can everyone just please watch this broadcast? and can we show the videos in every member appointment ever? and can we use the internetand ipads soon? yes we can :) :) :)

Probably the number 1 thing that I loved from the broadcast was just the spiritual, personal reminder of Jesus Christ's PERSONAL interest in me and in what I'm doing. that felt good hahah. :) I always knew that Jesus was interested, invested even, but I just liked the word "personal." like He really does have a PERSONAL interest in me! we're like BFFS! we're more than BFFs, we're related!! :) :) :) best friend ever <3 alsoooooooo one of those videos, i forget which one, i think the missionary song medly one? reminded me that THIS, what i'm doing right now, is what i've prepared my whole life for. and it's what mom & dad have prepared me my whole life for. this is it! this is the culmination of so much! not like this is the end goal of my life but serving a mission is what i've wanted for soooooooo long and prepared for soooooo much and what mom & dad have raised me for and sacrificed so much for and now i'm living it!! :) :) :) it reminds me of the talk we had in sacrament meeting last week -- ps this kind of cracked me up because (oh i am going to sound heartless, and i feel bad but...) the man was speaking about a really hard experience, and he got pretty emotional and choked up, and i thought it was going to be like his mom has cancer or something.... well it was that his dog had died, but it was a really great talk because he talked about his two new lab puppies and how they were bred to be bird dogs (POINT!) and then talked about what we were bred to do, and how we were bred to love. and it was just really great but it kind of cracked me up too, so it was awesome :)

anyways...... israel israel God is calling! and this is what it means to follow the prophet. in noah's day it meant get on the ark, in moses' it meant cross the red sea, in Jesus' day it meant leave your nets behind, and for me today in 2013 it means be here in Green Bay Wisconsin and work my heart out everyday to bring souls to Christ. what does it mean for you? :) :)

i loved the soccer team analogy... i loved how they said that friends and neighbors are properly situated to invite, because that is so true.... we don't have any friends here haha but the members do! I loved the video they showed of the family, i loved Elder Holland's *promise* that an invitation that is born of our love for them and for Jesus Christ, & our sincere concern for their happiness, will NEVER be recieved with offense :) woooo-hoooooo prophetic promises!! oh and that reminds me -- sometime Elder Oaks asked when he was here was "How does it feel to be a prophetic priority?" meaning that the prophet personally prays for us every day. and someone else yesterday was like "i hope you're having a great day! you'd better be, you've got like 10 million people praying for you" hahaha which is so true!!!!!! & i can feel the prayers and they're great :) boy howdy do we need them! Also i'm thinking about adopting "boy howdy" as my new go-to phrase..... what do you think? ;)

anyways, family history is great, families are great, rescue work is great, missions are great, and God is great :) it was the awesomest meeting ever. what were your thoughts?? boy howdy i would love to hear them!!! (okay okay i'll stop hahah) ps i'm sorry i haven't responded to letters all transfer!!!!!!!!!! also - THIS IS IMPORTANT TAKE NOTE - we got a new mission office address!! so they've been holding the mail for a while so i haven't gotten any haha but i think it'll come soon, they usually hold it during transfers anyways, speaking of which this
is the craziest transfer ever ahhhhh i fwd'd the transfer board and the new mission address to mom & dad i think :) nate-ster i should fwd the address to you too.... or i could just attach it to this email I guess haha. i'll just do that :)   okay my new address is:

Sister Cecelia Proffit
Wisconsin Milwaukee Mission
7111 W. Edgerton Ave STE #100
Greenfield, WI 53220 :)

also that email cracked me up with the fortune cookie segue hahaha. (how do you even spell segue anyways????)

soooooooo speaking of segues...... i loved the mission broadcast! The Lord's objectives are accomplished one soul at a time! this is something Elder Oaks talked about last week (think 1st vision..... question to ponder, why did the Father and Jesus Christ appear to just one boy? why not a crowd of people?) and Elder Bendar in that
FANTASTICALLY AMAZING LIFE-CHANGING talk from the MTC - why did the Savior touch the 16 stones from the brother of Jared 1 at a time?? (see ether 3. i think. maybe 2.)

act by inspiration, motivated by life. decide to do it right. decide to be better. (decide what to be, and go
be it.) :)

Israel, Israel, God IS calling! Now is the time, and we are the troops:) I love this great redemptive work, and I love my Savior Jesus Christ, in Whose strength I can do all things :) :)and I love YOU, family! i love this gospel that lets us be together forever, AS a family! love, love, love it. love this gospel. love you all. amen. :) :) :) :)
