Hello World!
Let's get down to business!
Monday
For P-Day we took some pictures on campus and I got to rock out on the piano...well, as much as you can rock out to church music lol. It was fabulous though!
We taught Bro Randall again--the referral out in the Elders' old area. He had read all of 1 Nephi!! In a week! He really wants to know if this is true, and I'm excited to help him find out! He said he'd pray about a date to set for a goal to be baptized.
Tuesday
We had a forum in the morning--we set up a little table at an assigned place on campus and get to contact anyone that comes by! It's quite fun. We had District Meeting afterward on campus, since we 4 sisters make up the district. Our 3:30 stood us up, but James, our team-up, suggested going to see Sariah. It was a great lesson! She agreed to try reading every day so long as we text her. In reality, though, she's been AWESOME this week and has read every morning before we even remind her!!
We had dinner at a member's with Rachel and her husband, Hank. They are from China and she reminds me so much of YeYang! We talked about the Word of Wisdom and she said, "Mormons don't drink? Even the men? Maybe you just don't know..." lol. Hank keeps the Word of Wisdom perfectly, but he's not really interested in learning. Because it was a member's, though, he was at least in the room as we read from the Book of Mormon.
After they left, we went out tracting and got POURED on, so we ran to another member's home to dry off and teach a little lesson. 'Twas a good day!
Wednesday
We volunteered at a blood drive on campus--we got to run the food station. We met an awesome FBI agent who lived in Utah for awhile. He told us that John Huntsman had announced his candidacy...funny how we find out those things through nonmembers! lol
We had dinner with a member and then taught Marie again. I LOVE her so much! She is the Muslim from Kuwait who came to church on Sunday! She gave me a beautiful hairpiece that I had complimented on Sunday. We watched the Restoration DVD and she said that she felt like she was kneeling next to Joseph as the light came down. Wow!
ThursdayWe went on exchanges and I got to be with Sister Wilson! Woot! I love her so much! We did another forum. Sister Johnson stayed in our area and we got a new investigator. She also went to see Marie again and she had had a dream about Christ. Ashley had read through 1 Ne 13! In one day! Sister Wilson and I went to see this awesome guy named John she'd met last week. He'd already read halfway through! (He finished on Sunday!) He's ROCKIN'!
Friday
We taught Justin, who is another awesome new investigator. Hopefully you'll hear more about him. We also went to see Samantha, an amazing woman who has recently started coming back to church. She then came with us to teach Bro. McAllister--my favorite 75-yr-old Recent Convert ever! He has such a strong faith! His wife sat in too, which is great :D
Saturday
We had meetings in the morning and then went to see Sis. Mickels--a less active who got in a crash the night before. We then went to a baptism, which was so great! It was for an 8-yr-old, but I LOVE baptisms!! We taught a member afterward and then went home for dinner. We went out contacting and then went and taught Sariah a lesson. I love her!
SundayChurch was pretty standard--awesome. Sis Kost went home, so we're back to a threesome.
Monday
'Twas great! We had to be in by 6pm and do paperwork till 9. At 9, we made an AWESOME music video. O ya.
I love you all! This truly is Christ's church and can bless everyone! It's not just for some :D
Love ya!

6/27/11- Letter to the World
Hello World!
Wow...so what's been going on here in PA?
Sariah
She was out of town most of this week, but she is home and doing well! We've been reading from the Book of Mormon with her a lot. She's preparing for the 31st of July, so she just needs to get an answer by then! She is more active then some of our members!
Joey
He came to the barbecue that the branch put on. He's kind of put out by all of the rules that we as missionaries have to follow. He doesn't think Heavenly Father would be so restrictive. We talked about choices and blessings that come from obedience. The Word of Wisdom came up and he wasn't a huge fan of the idea. He's going out of town, but we'll see if he'll continue to meet with us after. I hope so. The guidelines given by prophets truly are from the Lord.
Caden
He's doing pretty well. He's made a lot of friends, and has come to some social events. He's out of town for the 4th as well, so we'll see what happens when he gets back.
Tyson
Tyson is from China, but came to NY for the last two years of high school at a Catholic school. He notices the lack of the Spirit now that he's in college and not making God a priority. He really does want this, which is awesome. In fact, we'd met with one of his friends, Kyle, and he told us that Kyle just wasn't ready to hear it. Tyson is awesome :D He reminds me a lot of YeYang.
Jordan
He's from down South and has a very strong faith in Christ. He's willing to check out the Book of Mormon and learn, though!
Richie
He is one of my favorite people ever! He's from India and has an awesome accent and a quick wit. He's made really good friends with Vaughn, our Branch Mission Leader. We've taught him once, but ran into him on campus a few other times. He came to the BBQ too, and actually brought friends! One of which we may continue teaching :D
Now for the ward
Rachel
She's pretty much the only one we're working with in the ward. She's from China. I don't remember if I talked before about reading from the Book of Mormon with her. She hadn't been doing it, so we read with her for a lesson, and she LOVED it! She had no idea the Book of Mormon was so exciting! I hope she makes time to continue progressing! That's the biggest thing with her, she's busy. She's also moving to CA soon, so if she doesn't get baptized on her date (July 26), I hope she can hook up with missionaries there.
And finally our curve ball!
There are currently no Elders in the area next to us (which is why Sis Wilson is our District Leader). We received a referral from their area and we went last Monday. It's an hour drive one way! It was SO worth it though! Bro. Randall is an amazing investigator who's had lots of LDS friends in the past. He loves the lifestyle and has observed that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints just seem happier! It was a great lesson with a former Branch President from the area. We're meeting with him again tonight and he's scheduled in church for next week (he was out of town this week).
So ya...it's been a great week! State College is a great area, and I've been so blessed to get to know Sis. Wilson and Sis. Kost better before they leave next week. This is Christ's church! Remember that and live it :D I love this quote by Elder Holland, "It's hard for an egg to become a bird, but it's impossible for an egg to learn to fly." We have to go through hard times to reach our potential! Sometimes, living the standards of the church are hard, but it's impossible for us to do what God asks of us if we won't try! Like Elder Denton (the one and only) said a couple of weeks ago, obedience yields blessings.
Love ya!
Sister Denton
PS--P-Day plans for the day include Penn State pics around campus, rockin' on the piano (as much as you can rock with EFY songs), and making a music video doing the Hakka to Alex Boye's version of "Israel, Israel, God is Calling." Look it up...it's a great version :D

6/20/11- Letter to the World
So the first half of this week was with Sister Wilson, but Thursday, Sister Kost from Ephrata met up with us and we split back into two companionships. We've been working like crazy, and it is so wonderful.
I don't have a ton of time, so I just want to bear my testimony.
I know that this church is Christ's church here on the earth. I know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and that through him, the Priesthood power was restored. I know that that Priesthood power is held by worthy men all over the world who are members of this church. I know that Heavenly Father loves us each personally and because of that, He sent His son Jesus Christ to atone for our sins and feel everything we would ever go through. I know that our families can be together forever.
I love you all!
Sister Denton

6/13/11- Letter to the World
Hello World!
It's been a crazy week here in State College. A sister went home early, so Sister Johnson and I are in a tripanionship with Sister Wilson--a temple square sister. We are going crazy trying to teach all of our investigators, which is actually a fabulous problem to have!! Add to that, I love Sister Wilson to pieces! We have a ton in common and it has been a fabulous few days! We may be getting a mini-missionary until Thursday, so things will go back to normal until Sister Wilson leaves a week before transfers to return to Temple Square.
We mainly taught people from the branch this week, so I'll just talk about them!
Sandy
She has a baptismal date!! She's been studying with missionaries for awhile. We taught her twice this week--both reading from the Book of Mormon. The second time we read with her, she read it in Japanese and we'd translate in English...she's trying to learn Japanese. Anyway....I tried to commit her to baptism the first time, but it kind of failed. She doesn't want to commit because she'd feel obligated to tell her parents and they are very against it. She wants to be prepared enough to answer their questions. So Sis. Wilson came in and was able to pretend she didn't know we'd tried committing her in the past and had the idea to do it for July 31. So she's set with the 31st!! Woot!
So my time is totally almost gone!!
Love ya!

6/6/11- Letter to the World
Hello all!
So State College is AWESOME!!! I started trying to write by day, but I left my planner in the car and it all kind of melds together, so I'll talk about the area and people!
A lot of the finding we do here is street contacting. There are always people walking around near the campus, so we just walk around and try to engage them in gospel conversations! We also tract a lot of apartments, which is my favorite mode of tracting. It's way faster and the people there are less likely to have seen missionaries lately, even if they tracted there a few months ago, because it's so transient. We've found a LOT of potentials this week, which is super exciting!
There are SO many cultures here; people from all over the world! It's awesome. I love hearing all of the different accents and learning about some Middle Eastern faiths. This week we've talked to people from Egypt, Kazakhstan, India, China, Korea, Italy, etc. It's so cool!
We work with the State College 2nd Ward and then we share the University Branch with the other sisters. It's quite fun! Sundays are crazy because we have to do a crazy split thing to get someone from each companionship to certain places. It all seems to work out, though! This week I went to the Branch and RS of the 2nd ward, so next week I'll go to the last two hours of the 1st ward and all three hours of the 2nd ward. Hopefully that makes some sense...
Branch
Nate
He's been studying with the missionaries for a little while. He is a VERY deep thinker and is really taking his time to find out about our message. We had an AMAZING team up from the Branch....the branch is really incredible with missionary work. We're meeting with him again this week :D He wasn't able to make it to church, though.
Joey
We had our first meeting with him this week and he is a new investigator! He wasn't able to make it to church, but hopefully we'll be able to get him out to FHE. They're going to the Dollar Theater to watch Rango. I don't know what he expected with meeting with us, but he said he'll read the Book of Mormon and we got a return appointment! He wasn't able to make it to church this week.
Kyle
We tracted into Kyle Friday and met with him Saturday. He's from China and has never believed in God..he's a scientist. I challenged him to consider it an experiment--his life is the product and God is the chemical. If he adds God into his life and his life improves, it means God is real :D He's going to try it! He wasn't able to make it to church (this is a common theme, but at least a lot of them text us and let us know they won't be able to make it!)
Sandy
Sandy's been taught for a long while. She's awesome :D She loves Harry Potter and hates Twilight, so we had a great connection from the get-go :D We're working on setting a baptismal date with her. She comes to church, FHE, Institute, and just about every other church activity!
Caden
Caden is SO cool! We tracted into him and he opened the door and said "Hey Sisters!" I totally thought he was a member, but he's from Cali and like 1/2 of his friends there are LDS, so he's super familiar with it. He's really excited to get some LDS friends out here and we have an appointment with him this week!
2nd Ward
Rachel
She is from China and reminds me SO much of Yeyang. She's been studying with missionaries for awhile and is just trying to figure out if she really believes it. She comes to church and feels a peace there, but she thinks it's because of the atmosphere or the people rather than the Spirit. She came again this week and we set a baptismal date for July 26. We'll see how it goes!
Sis L
So, this wonderful YSA called us one night and excitedly told us about this amazing woman she'd met at work! We called her and she was very excited to meet with us and we set up an appointment! The meeting went very well and she was all set to go to church. She's 75 by the way :D The same age as Bro McDonald who was baptized last Friday in this ward! She called us Sunday morning with a slue of concerns. Her children are pretty against her meeting with us, so she said she needed some time. Hopefully our awesome YSA can continue to friendship her and at least keep contact with the church. Keep her in your prayers :D
Well, I think that's about it for the week! The work is awesome! I very much look forward to seeing the work progress here in State College!
Love ya!

5/31/11- Letter to the World
Hello World!
I am writing to you from sunny State College, PA!! Woot!
State College Outer is one of two sisters areas in this part of PA. We are about 3 hours NW of Lancaster. Penn State is here, so I'll be working a lot with the College students. We have one family ward and then the other sisters have another family ward and we share the Singles Branch. Should be fun!
Now about my last week in Lititz.
Day Fam
They didn't make it to church this week, so we've got to push the baptism back. I'm not sure when it will be yet. We're going to have them pray about it as a family so they are more committed to it I think. I love them tons :D
Winford
Winford's our awesome new potential that I just love to pieces!!! Sister Anderson and I both just love this kid so much! (don't worry...the approved kind of love lol) He is 20 and just has SUCH a desire to be good. He's had a crazy past, but is doing all he can now to be the best he can. We met him the first time tracting on like Tuesday or so and he said he'd be willing to meet again and read. The second time we came by was Thursday and we needed a ride for two little boys to scouts. He gave them a ride and came to the Blue and Gold with them! It was so cool! He helped them in the father/son cake decorating contest, too. He also had read 4 pages at that point (which is phenomenal!). We met with him the next day and taught part of lesson 1. He had read a little more. We weren't completely sure he wanted to keep learning, but after we left that lesson, he texted and told us that this is really what he needs in life right now. That was Friday and we invited him to church.
We didn't see him at church and figured he just slept in or something. We went to see him Sunday to say goodbye and asked about church...he had gone and just sat in the back and left after! We didn't believe him at first, but he proved it! He had come in alone, sat through sacrament, and left alone! We told him that next time he can definitely come sit by us! We were able to talk to his mom and brother, too.
Monday, he called and said he wanted to meet to give me a going away present, so we met him at the library. He wouldn't let me open it then, but we got to teach him again. Sunday night I had challenged him to read from the Book of Mormon in the morning, even a little bit, and pray and he would have a better day (he was expecting a horrible day). Monday we asked him about it...he had read--2 verses (1 wasn't enough and 3 would be overdoing it)--but he had a pretty good day! We taught part of lesson 2 and talked some about baptism. He really had a distaste for religion before. He told us he's never believed in anything before, and now he's trying to. I asked him how he's been feeling and he said, "Pretty good." It's so cool to see him making these little steps!
As we left, I opened up this cute little angel ornament that says "Best Teacher" on the wings. So cute! We turned around to thank him and Sister Anderson told him it was the sweetest thing she'd ever seen. He was like, "Ah man, why you got to do this to me?" Winford is AWESOME!
We saw Anton and Ellie again, but didn't really teach them this time. They did come to church! We also got to see Tyson again :D He said he's been reading still!
Well, I've gotta go, but I love you all!

5/23/11- Letter to the World
Hello world!!
I'd first like to congratulate everyone on surviving the end of the world. I'm not sure how much it was advertised in Utah, but everyone out here was talking about the end of the world being this past Saturday--May 21, 2011. Well, in celebration of it (no relation really, lol), we attended a baptism! I don't know if I ever really talked about the Mendoza family when I was in Millersville, but they were a LA family we started trying to get in contact with. While I was there, we got Alan (the non-baptized 9-yr-old son) to scouts and church. He was baptized Saturday! So cool!
The Day Family is doing fabulously. They are FABULOUS missionaries! This week they all came to church PLUS Sis. Day' friends Laura (and her daughter) and Tomy (who is a new investigator of last night)...they were at the blessing night if I talked about that last week...PLUS Neomi's friend. It was AWESOME. They are so filled with faith and so eager to learn and pray and ask and know! I love teaching them. They are an absolutly incredible family and the Day are all set with Jessica 4! Woot!
We didn't see Tomy this week (not the Tomy from above...the Seventh Day Adventist)
The referral family dropped us.
We met a new family tracting and we had a RA with them and taught L1. We got another RA! I hope they progress! It's a mom, dad, and six kids. Super cute!
We had Zone Conference this week. 'Twas fun as always!
Yesterday we got another new investigator--Emelda. We tracted into her and she let us right in! We taught L1 and she was receptive and set up a RA. I'm excited to teach her more! She has a cute little 2-yr-old and lives with her bf who we've yet to meet.
We also have a TON of RA with different potentials this week, so hopefully we'll have even more amazing people to talk about next week!
I love you all! Have a FABULOUS week. I'm not sure if I'll be able to e-mail next week, but we shall see!

I'd first like to congratulate everyone on surviving the end of the world. I'm not sure how much it was advertised in Utah, but everyone out here was talking about the end of the world being this past Saturday--May 21, 2011.
