Only 100% unity towards obedience brings 100% success toward eternal life

So, Sister King and I were the only companionship in our entire zone that stayed the same!!! We don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing... But we have decided to commit to 6 baptisms in Centerville this month. Me and sister King. We have REALLY committed. The bishopric told us that our investigator attendance at church has more than doubled in the last 4-6 weeks than it has EVER been in the last 3 years!!!! We don't understand what we are doing differently. But, it must be something...

Sister King told me that Centerville didn't wake up until I got here. Our teaching pool has just BOOMED. But I told her that it wasn't me. It's because all the sister companionships that have been here in the past have not gotten along very well. When Sister King got to Centerville, she was with a sister who was on her last transfer, and who was trunky and just plain tired. So once I got here, there were finally two missionaries with the same amount of enthusiasm and dedication for the work, and therefore, most able to work in unity. So it wasn't just me. It was both of us.  I love Sister King. And people can tell, even our investigators can tell how well we work together and the unity that we share. It's refreshing for them.

One of our investigators was showing us these videos of her performing her belly dancing, and Sister King was like "oh I could never do that" and I started joking with her when the lady went into the other room, I was like "oh please, you would be like the best in the class, you would be the one in the middle that everyone else would dance around. No you would be the one that they would carry in on their shoulders, like Nefertiti or Cleopatra" and sister King started laughing so hard!!! and the investigator heard us and walked in and told us how awesome we were. She has never seen missionaries get along as well as we have and she has been through A LOT of missionaries. Like 4 years of them at least! or something like that. She's never going to join anytime soon. But, she loved the fact that Sister King and I laughed and joked like that, that she decided to bring all 3 of her sons to trunk or treat the very next week!!!!!! She even texted us like the day after transfers and asked if we had stayed!!!!! It's awesome. She has never texted us before! 

Uchtdorf gave a talk about missionaries once and the missionary in the story that he told said to his companion "there are two reasons that companionships are not successful, one is because they are both trying to do the wrong thing, or because only one of the companions is trying to do the right thing, and the other is not." He was alluding to the fact that missionaries have to be in one hundred percent unity in order to find 100 percent success. It's the truth. That's why I told sister King that
we are being so successful. Centerville finally has two missionaries that are both trying to do the right thing together. There are a thousand more miracles that happened in Centerville this week that I will send in the mail!

AMEN!!!! a new nick-name - Disneyland!

So this has been the greatest week ever! It started out with the awesome zone meeting on Wednesday, where they announced new music rules! It is no loner just LDS.org. It's now all MOTAB and Lower Lights! Which is insane because just before I left, I burned a bunch of Lower Lights that I had found on itunes! REVELATION!!!! So Sister K and I have been jammin' out to my CDs all week now :] I'm seriously so gratful that I felt so prompted to bring them! It was seriously the best day of my life. I've been missing Hymns. The only music from LDS.org is like EFY songs :( They're the most annoying songs ever!

Then Thursday was interviews with president. I was literally SO excited for that! I wrote down a million things on a piece of paper, so I could remember all the things to touch on. Like, "How do you have faith like the ancients?" and deep stuff like that. Interviews were INSANe though! We had to go to the church and sit out in the hall for 6 hours with the most immature elders that ever walked the earth. Seriously, they were more immature than the Elders from the MtC. Especially this one . . .He corrupts our zone! He sits on other elder's laps and he hugs them and hold hand with them, because he thinks it's so funny! It's creepy! And, he tells immature jokes and of course I laugh, because laughing at immature jokes is like my weakness. And, I tell him not to say that stuff, but he just does it more. He and I have been banned from role-playing together because he always role plays someone silly. So anyways, he was there and it was like a zoo!Whenever he gets with the other elders he just turns them into clowns! So, when I went into my interview, I ratted him out to the president. :]  I was like - this kid corrupts our zone!

President just laughs at everything I say. Sis. K said that he called me "Disneyland" in her interview because I just have so much excitement and enthusiasm. Because whenever Sis. K and I are saying personal prayers and she finishes first, then I wait a few seconds after I've finished, then I jump up and scream, "AMEN!!!!" She jumps EVERYTIME!!! hahahahaha. So, in my interview, I did that to president and told him about what I do to Sis K, and he just laughed so hard his face turned red and he laughed for like 5 minutes straight! hahahaha

Maggie never misses an opportunity to dress up or .... Fairtale costumes

I tried to carve the salt lake temple into our pumpkin. it was too intricate and time consuming!! We didn't have small enough knives for it. But you should have seen the stencil I made.. it was a little too legit!!!

Here are some Halloween pictures!!! This lady had a Glinda dress that I wanted to wear for Halloween sooooooooo badly!!!!! But, instead I dressed up like an angel. The last picture is  sister king and me and the Cass's at trunk or treat! We had something like 5-7 investigators that came that night!!! Even the elders were pretty impressed
with us!! Zone leaders and president's assistants ask us every week how we get so many investigators to church each week and to other church activities. We don't even kno

w how we do it!!!
