Oh, forgot to tell you - we did get permission from Pres. Kunz. We were only allowed one hour of one on one time and one hour for the tour So, Bitsy and I were there for 2 hours. And Sister Askren said "Well, you have been here two hours. Don't you have a dinner meeting?" She was a missionary the whole time we visited her! And our visit was not a surprise! We hugged every sister missionary that was serving at the time, and some sisters make a point to come get a hug from us!

Sister Anderson and Bitsy

Yeap! We were able to visit Becky on (almost) Mother's Day!

We could visit with her, one on one, for an hour.

Here is Sister Askren telling us about the tour here at

The Mormon Trek Center

Winter's Quarters, Nebraska

We were talking about the holy ghost, how it helps and guides us, and right then the storm we have been having for the last 3 days got really bad. There was a flash of lightening. We told her the analogy we made up a while ago.
The Holy Ghost is like when you are walking out side in a storm at midnight. It's all dark and wooded and when the lightening flashes you can see that you got off of the path and you readjust but then it gets dark again. You start wondering and then there is another flash of lightening. Well the Holy Ghost it's like a flash light in your hand and through your obedience and faith is by how strong or how faint the light will be, but the light will always be there.
I love it when you tell gospel truths and the spirit is their so strongly and they can feel it and they know it's what they need in their lives. I am so grateful that I know I have a flashlight and that I can make it strong or faint but Heavenly father has given us the ultimate example Jesus Christ to make sure it's strong.
