SISTER SLOAN BACK ON TEMPLE SQUARE

Sister Sloan has returned from her 3 transfers in Tennessee and is back on Temple Square. While she absolutely loved her experience there and especially working with the people in 'the South' she is so excited to be back on 'The Square'. Here's a little from her letter: "Wow I have loved being back on Temple Square! Its been great to see everyone again. We have had excellent tours this week, with a lot of people wanting a copy of the Book of Mormon, just not missionaries yet. So we are praying for all of them that they will feel of the spirit that is contained in the Book. I love this Mission sooooo much! I remember when I first got my call and I wished that I could have a cooler mission, a "real" mission, but since I've been here I have loved every moment-- the hard times and the easy times. Though most people think that people just come to us,on the Square, its not always that easy. Yesterday we had a lot of antis on the square, and we have many people tell us straight up that we are wrong in our beliefs, but there are many other people who come that I know, even though they dont want missionaries right now, will remember how they felt and remember us somewhere down the line. All I can say now is that this is the best mission in the world! I was talking with a sister in the same class as me yesterday and she asked me "can you believe that we are in our 11th transfer?? we are a couple of the oldest sisters in the mission." Boy all I can say is that I cant believe that I'm almost done!! I feel like I am still in my third transfer! We went to the temple this morning and as we sat in the celestial room I had a flash back of sitting back in the celestial room of the Vancouver temple, right before I left, and thinking "I cant believe I'm going on a mission! How am I going to be able to do this" and that same thought had occured to me in the SLC temple except I thought, I cant believe I'm almost going home! How am I going to be able to do this!" lol. I love this Gospel I love this mission and everyday I am trying to serve the Lord the very best I can." Love, Sister Sloan
