August 25, 2014 - All Capitols

 THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZY!!! I ARRIVED IN FLORIDA ON TUESDAY. THE FLIGHT WAS FUN AND GOOD, I GOT A LITTLE DIZZY. BUT ANYWAYS, THE FIRST FEW NIGHTS WE STAYED IN TALLAHASSEE. THEN ON THURSDAY I CAME TO MY NEW AREA WHICH IS NAVARRE FLORIDA.  IT IS SO PRETTY, IT IS ABOUT 2 MINS. FROM THE BEACH, WELL MY HOUSE IS.
 I STILL HAVE THIS DUMB COUGH COLD THING, BUT I THINK IT IS MOSTLY GONE. SO ME AND MY TRAINER WHITE WASHED THE AREA SO WE DON'T KNOW WHERE ANYTHING IS OR WHO TO SEE, BUT WE ARE GETTING THE HANG OF THINGS. MY TRAINERS NAME IS SISTER STRICKLAND. SHE IS FROM COLORADO SPRINGS. SHE IS NICE.
 SO ON SATURDAY WE BIKED, NO JOKE ABOUT 25-30 MILES. AND NO, I DIDNT MAKE THAT UP.  I WAS SO SORE AFTER. WE GOT LOSTED A FEW TIMES BUT THAT'S OK BECAUSE WE FOUND 2 NEW INVESTIGATORS FROM IT SO.  YESTERDAY, SUNDAY WE WENT TO CHURCH AND MET SOME WARD MEMBERS, THEY ARE SUPER NICE. THE BISHOP LOOKS AND ACTS LIKE" WILL FARRELL". IT IS SO FUNNY! THE WHOLE BISHOPRIC IS SUPER YOUNG. ONE GUY ISN'T EVEN MARRIED, HAHA.   WE HAVE A HALF MISSION CONFRENCE AND ELDER /BROTHER ZWICK IS COMING! THAT SHOULD BE SUPER COOL. OH YEAH, ON SUNDAY WE WENT AND TAUGHT OUR INVESTIGATOR AND HIS GIRLFRIEND. THEY ARE SUPER NICE AND SEEM SUPER INTRESTED. WE WILL HAVE TO SEE. WE ARE GIVING THEM A CHURCH TOUR TOMORROW. ANYWAY THE WARD IS SUPER NICE HERE. WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 3 WARD MEMBERS TELL US THAT IF WE EVER DON'T HAVE DINNER CALL THEM AND THEY WILL ORDER US PIZZA.. HAHA AWESOME!
 I LIVE REALLY CLOSE TO AND AIRFORCE BASE SO ALMOST EVERYONE IN MY WARD IS AIRFORCE OR ARMY. IT'S REALLY COOL! AGAIN EVERYONE IS SUPER NICE!  WE REALLY FOCUS ON FAMILY HISTORY WORK HERE IN MY MISSION. IT SEEMS TO GET A LOT MORE PEOPLE"S ATTENTION. THE HUMIDITY HASN'T REALLY BOTHERED ME THAT BAD YET,  BUT WE WILL SEE.
 SO NEXT WEEK A LADY IN OUR WARD IS TAKING US TO DUSTIN. WHICH IS A SUPER AWESOME BEACH AND PLACE. THAT SHOULD BE FUN!

August 18, 2014 - Last day in the MTC!

HEY Everyone!!
How y'all doing? How is the human life? I hope everyone is doing well. So this week has gone by so flipping fast! I am leaving the MTC tomorrow! This is so exciting! So I will try and tell you everything that happened this week! So on Wednesday we went to class and taught our progressing investigators. Which were Harley and Everett. They both committed to baptism! Then we just hung out as a district and studied and studied and studied, oh and studied! Haha, then we taught another investigator named Leah White! I don't know if she is really a member. I don't think she is because she just pretty much tore us apart and told us we were selfish and we didn't believe in Christ and we were liars and so on. We can't just stop teaching the TRC Investigators so we just kept a good positive attitude. She then said sorry and so on.. anyways! So we then went back and had district study. I really do have the best district! We all get along so well! I will try and send some pictures next week. We have to have a card reader here at the MTC which I don"t have. So, my teachers are super friendly. There is Brother Gleason, he has been home from his mission for about a year and a half and he is married! He is super awesome! He always says he is just soo PUMPED! Its awesome! Our other teacher is Brother Baker, he has been home for about 1 year! He is getting married in about 11 days! Which is a real shame.. Haha Jk... but.... not really... anyways! We also had some sub teachers who where super friendly! So the rest of the week we just went to class and taught our investigators. That all went good! On Sunday, we had a departing missionary fireside and that was so boring. Haha, I may or may have not fell sleep during that. When I woke up the Elder next to me was like "Sister Seegrist, did you have a nice nap?" Haha awkward! Haha, Then went to another fireside which was AWESOME! Jenny Oaks Baker came and played the violin and spoke with us. If you don't know who she is look her up. She is a great violist! She is also Dallin H. Oaks daughter. Oh, and Dallin H. Oaks wife was also there. Anyway, it was a really good fireside! After that my district went back to our classroom and the Elders gave us blessings. Which was super nice! They are all such great young men! These where the first blessings they had ever given. Their hands where shaking so bad! Elder Funk is is the one who gave me my blessing, he did an awesome job! I really do love all the Elders in our District and in the other District. Haha, It was cute but funny! There are some other Elders in the new district that DRIVE ME CRAZY! They are just a bunch of COCKY high school football players... hahaha! After the blessings we watched Mormon Messages in our classroom. That was nice! Today we get to email and do laundry and pack for tomorrow! We have to be to the travel office at 3:30 A.M which means we have to be up at like 2 a.m. Haha anyways, sleep really is my best friend.. Even though I don't get to spend much time with it. :( Haha, whatever I'm still loving the mission!! !Oh yeah! I had to give a talk in church on Sunday haha..... that was really special of me.. I need some serious help sometimes.. Oh and I met A's old girlfriend! Haha, I asked where she was from and I was like "No way did you know A?" She then was like"YES!" Haha, I was like "he is my cousin" she then said "I have totally kissed your cousin" Haha, that was pretty funny! Anyways I also met some sisters going to Rancho on their missions! I told them to say "hi" to the family! Anyway, I am almost out of time! But I love you all so very much! Thank you all for the support! I miss you! I know this church is true and I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and restored the fullness of the gospel on the earth today! I know that we have a living prophet who leads and guides us! I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve a mission! I love it and know it is what I am needed to do! You are all so great! I am sure I missed some stuff but there is always so much to remember! I love you all and wish you all the best of luck in whatever you do! Love, Sister Hannah Seegrist PS. I will send you my new address once I get it! And I think packages need to go to my address not the mission home. I will let you know for sure once I know. Anyways.. LOVE YOU All! Hug hug kiss kiss. Big hug. Big kiss. Little hug Little kiss.... Big hug.. little kiss..

August 8, 2014 - Hannah's First Email!!!

Hey everyone! 

How is everyone doing!? I am doing good here at the MTC. I love it here! I have by far the best zone ever! We all get along so well. So, I have two comps their names are Sister Rohwer and she is from Logan Utah. Then there is Sister McHan and she is from Ruppert Idaho. They are both really nice and fun! So my first day after I got kicked to the curb, I checked in and took my luggage to my room. I then went straight to class. That was fun. t]Then we did some welcoming stuff and then went to dinner. We sat with our district. After that we went and did a zone activity where we just got to know each other.  Our zone leaders where all going to Tempe Arizona. They are super fun! They actually all left  this morning. We will miss them! The second day we woke up and went to district study and then had class. We did some role plays with some of our investigators. That was neat. I still have so much to learn. After that we went and I cant really remember what we did. it was forever ago.. The days feel so long but when they are over they have gone by pretty fast. So for the rest of the week we role played and learned more about what we are teaching. My district now knows that I get in moods and laugh at everything. On Saturday we were doing some computer stuff but we did the wrong thing, we laughed for about an hour. On Sunday we went to church and that was good. That evening we had a devotional and it was really good Richard Heaten came and spoke. He had some missionaries get up and tell about there conversion stories. It was really cool! Then we watched a video by David Bednar. That was really awesome as well. So then yesterday we met two more of our investigators. Oh yeah, we committed the other two from last week to baptism which was awesome! Anyways so one of the investigators name is Leah white. Sister Dunford actually taught her as well. We talked about her for a little bit. Leah is an Evangelical Christian. She is super friendly and funny. So after we taught her we went back to our classroom and "Studied" We mostly just did more bonding as a district. We all laughed so hard. I honestly cant remember what we even where talking about. But it was good to laugh. Well I love you all so much and would love to hear from all of you! And if you could forward this email that would be so great! Oh yeah, I leave for the airport on the 19th at 3:30 in the morning, so mom and dad keep your phones on I will call you! Thank you all for the support! I love you all and miss you! The church is true! Don't forget to spread the gospel! Love you and write you next week when I am in the field!

Love, Sister Seegrist
