General Women's Conference!!! Best Time of the Year!‏ March 28, 2016

Wow! We are seeing our area begin to pick up! We have been having members come out with us so much this past week and we have been seeing success through it! The Mustang 1st Ward is very willing to help in missionary work, they are definitely a phase 2 missionary work ward (Members help missionaries with missionary work) and we hope to help them push to phase 3 (Missionaries are helping the members with their missionary work). We are getting our area organized so that we have plans to have Oklahoma Initiative (visiting ALL members in our area every 6 months) up and running more than it has been and in a way that the next set of missionaries will be able to utilize it to its fullest! We are excited to see the fruits from having that working!
Sister Nelson and I have been working on improving our lesson preparations to include specific verses that will help our investigators and less-actives learn more through the scriptures. We have been able to use the scriptures more to teach and I know it brings the Spirit while teaching and helps emphasize the fact that revelation comes through the scriptures (especially the Book of Mormon). #IReallyDoLoveTheScriptures! #IPromise
Elaine (one of our investigators) is progressing incredibly and seeing the help and blessings from reading the Book of Mormon and praying in her life, however, she is planning on moving out of her daughter's home because it isn't a good situation for her. So we will have to refer her to other missionaries most likely. But she is so excited to be baptized in April and we will find other prepared people in our area to help prepare for baptism!
Also, General Women's conference!!! Oh my... I just love General Conference!! Isn't it the best?! I'm super super pumped for this weekend! 8 hours of listening to God's guidance through modern day prophets and apostles! It's the best!! #SoMuchPersonalRevelationComingOurWay Okay, speaking of personal revelation, as missionaries, we are always teaching about how we can receive revelation through Church attendance, scripture reading, and praying. Well, maybe I'm a slow learner but I think I have just gone through the motions most of life with going to church and I'm just starting to realize HOW much revelation we can receive at church (and other church meetings). The thing that changed was my preparation and expectations (or maybe faith too). But I've been going to church these past couple of weeks expecting that God really would answer my questions and teach me what He knows I'm needing to know right now. Kind of like I would go to General Conference the past several years. And my results were the same as my General Conference attendance. I came home feeling truly spiritually edified and had received SO much personal revelation. So if you have made the mistake that I have been making all of my life and just going to church to go through the motions yet you are wanting to be spiritually edified, may I suggest that you take just 10 minutes Saturday evening to evaluate your week and to come up with a question/concern or two that you want God to help you with (or even Sunday morning). If you believe and expect that God will answer your questions/concerns and be humble enough to act on whatever answer you receive, I know and can promise you that you will come home with answers to your questions/concerns. Just like Joseph Smith went into Sacred Grove with his question about which church was God's church, we can receive revelation to our questions! God is good! And because he loves us, he will not leave us guideless! Enos 1:15-19 (page 137)
I love you all and hope you all are doing wonderful! I'm excited to watch General Conference with you all this weekend! (: Hasta luego! Chao!
Con amor,
Hermana Nachelle Sharon Hunt (:

Society at its Finest

*Ding* the classic iPhone text message default tone “note” goes off, and just like that our hand reaches out, picks up our phone and before we know it we are once again controlled. We have been conditioned by our technological devices to respond when they want us to respond rather than when we want to respond. We are becoming a society that behaves just like Pavlov’s dogs who were trained to salivate when the bell sounds rather than when they actually saw the food- or the good stuff. We are losing our ability to reason and act for ourselves, as we allow the world to train us to automate our actions, our opinions, and even our very morals and beliefs. Before I go on, I must say that I do in fact use social media and I love my smart phone! However, I’ve recently begun seeing the flaws of them and I want to point out some of the pitfalls that we can easily be trapped by through their usage. I’m not promoting the absolute abandonment of either technology or social media, rather I’m pr...

A Blessed Week! Novermber 29, 2016

Hi you all! Hermana Tucker is awesome! We are seeing SO many miracles together and it is so nice being able to work so much in our area together! I love it!  So this past Sunday I was just having one of those days that I thought might lead to another round of just really hard days and I was worried. I didn't want that to happen yet again. After a long day of meetings and church and just feeling down on myself because of errors that I had made this past week, my Spanish was doing awful and I was struggling to understand, and then realizing that my self confidence was in the pits too, so I finally opened up to Hermana Tucker who had already noticed I was struggling and she had already let me play piano after church for a moment to de-stress even though she was probably starving for lunch. And guess what? After I had opened up to Hermana Tucker and explained what I was struggling with, everything else went well! I began feeling so much better and that evening I realized that alth...

Bringing in December with Christmas Miracles! December 6, 2016

Before anything else, the lovely Hermana Tucker and I are making Christmas cards today! I would LOVE to send one to all of you! Could you send me your address this week please? And I will send one next Tuesday when we email! (We have interviews with President Mansell on Monday, so we might be needing to move preparation day to Tuesday again!) So... I'm pretty much just forwarding my letter from President Mansell for this week... and adding maybe a few extra things... Maybe. haha This week has been splendid! So we are finding a lot of people to teach! (<-MIRACLES!) for the English missionaries!! It's great- I'm only a little sad because they are super awesome children of God and I don't get to see their testimonies grow, but the main point is that this is the same great work done through the Spirit no matter what missionaries are involved! However, with the amount of referrals that we gave out, we were even more blessed Sunday as we went to the 2nd ward with a ne...
