Sister Snoddy is under the weather

Beth is not feeling well this week. She seems to have gotten one of the many bugs that are going around. She was instructed to stay in on Preparation Day so there is not a letter from her this week.
Also, I have received some new instructions from the Mission President about Blogs, because of this I will not be posting Beth's letters on a regular basis any longer. I hope that I have not offended anyone with my desire to share Beth's mission with those who love her. It was never my intent to do any harm. I apologize sincerely to any who may have been offended or harmed. I have a great desire to be obedient and to help Beth be obedient. Sharlene

New (Green) Companion

Well hello! Things here in Conyers are going great! As for things this week in Conyers. We ( Sister Leavitt and I) dropped off Sister Goodrich and picked up Sister Penrose. She was fresh from the MTC and has an amazing spirit about her! She is very excited to be here and share the gospel with everyone! She is from West Jordan Utah and is the oldest of 4. She has 2 sisters and 1 brother! She has been just what I needed to get me out of the rut I have been in and to remind me that there is no reason for us not to do amazing things! As for the weather, well to put it bluntly it is COLD! The sad thing is it has been in the 5o's and I feel like it is 30 degrees! Stupid humidity! The rain has stopped and the sun is out! Hopefully it will warm up a little this week! As for the work! If anyone has amazing cookie recipes please send them my way! That is about it! I just want you all to know that I KNOW the church is true! I KNOW that Christ lives and his that only way to have true happiness! Love you all Sister Beth Snoddy

Trying to stay dry

Well I guess I will start of by talking about what you have all been waiting for...the weather here in Georgia! Yesterday was beautiful! It was in the mid 60s low 70s! We woke up to rain this morning and it has been raining all day! I have heard that it is suppose to rain all most of the week! I don't know how this will effect the flooding but I sure it won't help it at all! I don't live by any rivers or creeks so I will( should be okay) Anyway enough of the weather! I got a new companion on Wednesday! She is only with sister Leavitt and I for a week because she came a week before transfers! Her name is Sister Goodrich, she is from Kearns Ut but clams St George because she lived there for 5 years before she left for her mission. She was Called to Nauvoo and served there for about 6 months before coming here to Georgia! She will be in Georgia for 6 months! Which I guess brings me to another subject that you have all been waiting for ... Transfers! Well I'm very happy to say that I'm staying in Conyers! With Sister Leavitt and our greenie! That's right we are going to train together! Yesterday was a very stressful day! I not knowing what was happening but hoping and praying that I could stay in Conyers! I love that lady pray that her heart will be softened and that she will at some point be baptised! As for the other work, well things have really slowed down! We don't really have anyone that is progressing, so that is hard! Anyway Pray that we can find a lot of new investigators and that we will be able to see some great success! WEll I want you all to know that I know this church is true! I know that I that Christ lives and that he loves us! I know the Book of Mormon to be the word of God! Stay strong and look to him in all things, he will guide you ! I love you all!Sister Beth Snoddy

Amazing week!

This week as been nothing less then a spiritual feast! We had a great district meeting on Tuesday, then Wednesday we had interviews with President King! We had interviews at the International bike park, it was so pretty up there! I will send pictures of it as soon as I get them. Anyway the Zone leaders planned some pretty spiritual activities, for us while we waited for our interview. Then Saturday is when it really got good! We had 2 amazing hours of Conference, Followed by a baptism of Bloise Avery! The spirit was so strong 1 I know that he was prepared for this time, and that the Savior truly has great things in store for him! The baptism was followed by two more great hours of Conference! Then Sunday was filled with Great conference and a few good lessons! There were so many great talks I don't know how to pick a favorite but I will say that Elder Holland was up there on the top of my list, a long with President Eyring, Utchdorf , Bednar and Perry! I think that conference gets better every time I watch it! Oh President King told us at interviews that there are 6 new sisters coming to the mission on the 14th ! There are 12 sisters right know which means that it will effect every companionship in the mission! This saddens me because I LOVE sister Leavitt and the chances of us stying together are few! He also told us that the sister that is coming to us from Nauvoo will be joining us a week early and he wanted to have her join our companionship for that week! I'm pretty excited for it! A little change is Alas fun! Oh one more thing, with transfers coming and Me not being sure that I'm staying in Conyers I would ask you to send all the mail to the mission office until next Monday when I know where I will be! This will insure that I will get all the great letter that you send me! Thank you! Well I love you all! I want you all to know that I KNOW that the church is true! I KNOW that Christ Lives, I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God! I know that Joseph Smith was Prophet of God and that Thomas S. Monson is a true and Living Prophet on the earth today and as we heed to his counsel and true live the words that we have heard in conference we will be able to stand strong against Satan in these last days! Love you Sister Beth Snoddy
