Dear babes...
This week I've decided to tell you two of the most powerful moments I've had this week. The Lord never ceases to amaze me at the people I meet. Today I was asked, "what is the most important thing in life Sister Mettra?" Before I could really think, these words came out of my mouth... The Pure Love of Christ is the most important thing. I've addressed love many times in my emails but I truly feel its the most important and ultimately helped me be guided enough by the spirit to have these miracles almost hourly. My heart is so full of love for these people I meet, and I really can feel their spirits and what they need. Someone even said today, thank you for your kindness it means a lot to us. Now think of what just a warm welcome can do to someone searching for the truth. I had the most spirit led tours literally, every step guided us to exactly who we needed to talk to. My eyes saw the people almost before I did if that makes any sense. As we listen and are silent, slow down and wait the spirit will tell us all things we need to know.
The Miracle Box.. Aka West Gate
Well my little home right now is in west gate and I really love it. Especially when you meet people like Coleen and you know she was sent right to you. Well without further Ade... So Coleen came up to the window curious about what this place was. She was here for a Monavie conference and wanted to have a look around. Well she was so golden I cant even explain. I started teaching her the basics through the window and then decided that I would go and sit with her outside. I told her that Jesus Christ had come to the Americas and that she could know for herself. She looked up at me and said, hunny what you just said just makes sense. I feel so much peace right now... I told her who the Savior was to me and she started to open up that she was searching for a stronger testimony of him. And immediately i could feel the Saviors love for her. She was so prepared and we will call her this week and teach her. All because of a secret plea she had deep inside. She said that i was Heaven sent that really she couldn't thank me enough. What a miracle. Oh and she was from the south ;)
Temple Grounds
So we were walking around yesterday and I literally felt/ saw people at the temple grounds we needed to talk to. My comp was like Sister Mettra are you sure we can go on the temple grounds (usually you can not find there) Ha whateves the spirit told me to. And Lo and behold I saw them in front of us so we followed them and started talking to them and I started making some jokes so they wouldn't remember how creepy I turned around and stopped them. Ha its ok it was all amazing and they weren't actually weirded out. Well as we started talking they had lots of questions about the temple and their family was just here on vacation! Well we invited them to see Gods Plan the most amazing film that now is all redone and talks all about temples. They were crying as we bore our testimonies about the Savior. Even the 14 year old daughter was crying the spirit was so strong in front of the Christus. Then we went into Gods Plan and by the end all of us were taken by the spirit. They ended up not referring for missionaries mostly cause the husband was inactive but i know we planted a seed inside their hearts. And the mother thanked us for being good role models for her daughter. Again she said we were heaven sent.
Elder Allen..
Well we had a mission meeting on Tuesday morning. Now i want every RM or Missionary to read this ok .. as a mission here on temple square we rarely if ever get people to come speak to us. Oh and if someone does its at 6:30 AM. Yep that's right. Elder Allen of the 70 came and we had to be there at 6:00 hair done make up done Pres said no wet hair you need to look like beautiful ladies! So we woke up VERY EARLY and i was dead by the end of that day that's for sure. Again the meeting was all about loving guests, and really seeing them as children of God it was wonderful.
Don't you hate Gays?
Thank you Kira :) I owe my sister a big thank you for this miracle. She knows what i mean. So many people in this world think that Mormons hate gays.. well that would be weird cause if we did we wouldn't be followers of Christ. Let me tell you how we found him the course of events that led us right there. pres interviews went overtime, then i went and got food for someone and walked it all the way over the the Beehive house, then felt we should go in a different door and there was DAN. Ten minutes in he told us he had a partner for like 5 years. We smiled and welcomed him and he was confused, he said i thought you guys hated gays. I said haha that is the weirdest thing you've ever said we LOVE everyone. Well Dan was very spiritual and we actually taught him about the temple and he loved it. He said he would give us a call but thanked us for how loving we were. And of course it all ended with a kiss on the cheek and a hug haha.
And the Creator is Back..
Man i know you missed him ha i for sure did. Well jerimiah the creator came back this morning to our window and I saw him walk in the gates and already was on the phone with security by the time he got to the window. So he started talking to my companion and she froze and didn't know what to do ha. I had to scoot her chair over and practically sit on top of her so she would be protected. I had a feeling, it was really strange actually. But he said that we were both beautiful and he wanted to get to know us. Security was behind him hiding and they were watching his every move. Don't doubt he told us that we were very choice women. Ha I said ok well we will see you later and he left. Came back 10 min later crying saying sorry for making us uncomfortable. But he loved us and wanted to know us personally. hahha All is well I took care of it but man is he CREEEPINNNNNNN.
Tats+ Texas= Sign me up!
I know I say this a lot but literally i will NEVER forget Bradley. He came into the west gate on Thursday morning looking for some type of bus. He said he had no money left and lost his way and needed some directions on how to get to a bus stop. The minute he walked in I felt something pull me to him I had to talk to him. Now keep in mind we had 4 unscheduled motor coaches which means about 50 people showing up wanting a tour in many different languages. And that is my job I need to make sure they get one and greet the tour guides and Bus drivers so they feel welcomed. Seriously the hardest job in the world but I love it keeps me very busy. Well all of this was happening but I saw the one, it was like the story in the bible do you see the 99 and get overwhelmed and stressed and leave the 1? But no I saw Bradley and he needed it. I told him to take a seat and I'd help him. I walked over to him and told him I arranged for a bus to come and tonight they would find him shelter and food. His eyes perked up and he said really you did that for me? And I said of coarse, now lets talk about how you got here. Brad had tats from is toes and up his throat. He was about 26 and you could tell he was so lost. I could feel his silent plea for spiritual help, this man needed to know God. We talked for a while and I ended up teaching him about the restoration and testified with all my heart he was led here for a specific purpose. He looked at me after I finished testifying and said, Sister Mettra what you just said answered the questions I've been wondering my whole life. I just smiled my emotions were to strong to speak a word, then he said there was a light I had he has never seen. I then read him Moroni's promise very slowly and sincerely and I could feel every word tap on this man's heart. He started to shiver and said, " I have chills all up my spine." Bradley gave me his number and we will teach him this week..
Phone Call can change a life..
There was a lady that called in angry and wanted missionaries to stop calling cause they were looking for the wrong person haha... Well I felt like I needed to turn this little heart to God. So I kept her on the phone with me and we talked for a little and 12 min in she was asking my questions about me .. and at the end she said.. yeah you can call me again and teach me more! UM MIRACLE... So we will teach her this week and missionaries will actually come haha.
I end with one of my new favorite quotes..
" If only you could see the vision as i have. I wish I had your bodies to do this work. I would run from house to house telling everyone of the gospel. And after I lost the strength to run, i would begin to walk. And after I collapsed from walking, i would begin to crawl. And after my knees were so bloody that I could not use them, I would use my arms to drag myself. And once ever muscle in my body was gone I would begin to Yell!! Oh if only you could see the vision as I have." - Spencer W. Kimball
Intense way of looking at it but that's how I feel about this work. I literally go home everyday wondering how I will possibly make it another day because I am so tired. But low and behold I wake up the next morning ready for a new day, i love being a missionary and being led to the Pleas of the Lost Souls.
Much Love
Sister Mettra

Smile
Dear Friends,
Wow this week has been absolutely amazing, scary, sad, happy, spirit led- I LOVE MY MISSION! I have so much to say so hopefully i can type this all fast enough and with enough detail you will understand.
Just one hour ago I was able to attend Messiah in America and it pretty much changed my life. I miss music so much sometimes, performing, being on stage and feeling the adrenaline but its ok I get a little serving of that as a missionary ha! This Musical production is focused on 3 Nephi when Jesus Christ comes and visits the Americas. Music helps me feel and understand things that words just cant and I can testify without a doubt in my mind that Jesus Christ really did come to the Americas. During the entire show i felt waves of chills brush over my body the spirit was so strong and I'm so grateful for the restored gospel and that this musical could even be written. God hears our plea and he knows that I needed that moment, I literally heard in my mind and heart, Jenna this is what you were born to do. And I know I am suppose to testify of Jesus Christ through music and through my voice.
Smile, you can change a life.
So last Saturday Sister Abyeta and I were in WalMart getting some things and as she was getting something up the aisle I was looking at this young lady and I just gave her a big smile. Well I didn't think much of it and I turned around and walked away then i heard, " Hey Sister Missionary come here." So I turned around and smiled and walked back to her and she says, " thank you for smiling at me, no one has ever smiled like that at me before." She went on to say that she had seen so many missionaries and none had glowed with such sincerity as I had. Well i found out that she had heard about the church kinda grew up in it but not a devout member by any means. We passed by here about 3 more times ha and I just kept saying oh I'm stalking you know ha hello again. Then she stopped me and say hey what was your name again? Sister Mettra :)... She reached in her purse and pulled out a piece of paper and said, I would never do this or talk to a missionary, but you smiled and I felt something and I like you. I don't know much about the church and I'm very inactive but will you give me a call? You will do amazing things in this world I hope you know that. I never thought how much a smile could really change a life. She kept telling my presence was just inviting I was so humbled that God had given me the gift of love and now I will get to help this women come back to him.
I'm the Creator...
Well in West gate we get pretty much anything and everything so seriously welcome to the craziest part of the square. And of course I'm in it ha and running it! So Monday morning Sister Abeyta and I are just peacefully sitting inside west gate and we are singing some hymns and studying and in walks this guy. Well I opened my window and said Good Morning how can i help you?...And he quickly cut me off and said DONT CALL SECURITY ... hmm thats comforting.. and he said I was kicked out of here 3 times this week and you better not let this be the 4rth. Cause if you call security I'll break my covenants.... Well I put my hand under the desk and reached for the panic pull and he goes DONT YOU TOUCH THAT... Then he goes look into my eyes, I'm the Creator. And begged us to give him our first names and layed on the floor and said PREACH TO ME and was making some really strange sounds. Then I said are you claiming to be Jesus cause that's blasphemous you should probably not do that haha. I thought it was funny but he didn't, then he grabbed both of our hands and wanted to feel our spirit.... Lets just say it was fricken creepy but I was totally calm I knew I was protected. My comp was freaking out but I was just like well have a good day see ya later... Security later told us he was arrested and was very dangerous.. Ha fun times in west gate!
The Gospel Reaches Barbados!
That's right my friends we have a new investigator well actually 2 in Barbados and why is that? Well cause the spirit led me to find them! After that crazy moment we had sometime on the square and we were walking and I had that strongest impression to talk to these two black guys aka my favorite! Well we started talking and decided to take them into the Tabernacle and they loved it, then over to the temple view and they were amazed by the messages about the temple. We were so spirit led on this tour it was insane. Then at the Christus everything set in and as we look these men in the eyes and testified of Jesus Christ I started to feel overwhelmed and began to pause not say anything at all. We moved to some chairs by the old testament gallery and there had a moment that testified to me that there is power in pausing. Sister Abyeta was talking to Carlton and I talked to Jerome and I gave him the Book of Mormon and told him to just read the first paragraph of the Introduction. He went silent and read not only the first paragraph but the second and then the whole page and then the next. I promised him that through these pages he would find a greater understand of the Savior. He said you have a special spirit please call me and send me this book. He is a devout catholic but he felt it when he held that precious book in his hands.
Everlasting Gospel...
Alex is a very inactive member and we met him on chat and he said we could call him for potentials. But in all seriousness he is the one that needs the gospel right now. I started talking to him and I don't know I had this moment where I could feel the love God had for him. He is in the Military right now and doesn't even know why he is there. I could sense the urgency in this young mans heart, he needed his father back. He hasn't been going to church and I told him, " Alex the things in this life are gone in a moment, but the gospel is everlasting, its forever." I invited him to start praying and reading to find God. Well I called two days later and he said he has a hard time expressing how he feels. And I said Alex, what helps you feel? Music makes me feel, nature, good friends. All of these things help me feel Alex. He said I guess Jenna I've never really felt the spirit before and I don't know what will help me feel. I was prompted that he was looking back and told him that the miracles he is searching for are right in front of him. Many other things were said in this talk but there was a moment that I will literally never forget. I bore my testimony of the power of prayer and then was overwhelmingly prompted to pray over the phone with Alex. He said I don't know Jenna I've prayed my whole life for a moment where I am completely taken by the spirit, Jenna where I can feel his love. I knelt down on my knees and the spirit poured out words I couldn't even think of. They were so beautifully worded that I myself couldn't believe what i was saying. I was on the Verge of tears cause I know that God was speaking through me to him. I ended the prayer we said amen and I just sat there in silence. Tears started streaming down my face and he just said all I can say is thank you.... I'm feeling a lot more then I'm sayin. I said Alex, God wants you back, he is so proud of you. Silence again I could barely speak, " Alex remember how you just asked for that spiritual witness? I don't know you hundreds of miles away and I felt it, God loves you so much." " Wow, yeah I can feel it your right." I walked home that night in complete reverence for the blessings of personal revelation and prayer. Never underestimate the power of a humble prayer.
Lovin the South
Oh my heart I'm so grateful for the southern people. I'm so drawn to them I want to be their best friends ESPECIALLY TEXAS! So this little southern couple walks in and I'm like ok they are for sure from the south I'm going to need to talk to them. Well to my great surprise they were from Texas and I fell in love with them. By the end of the conversation the women was like, you know what hunny I think I might just love you. They were VERY baptist but I used my smile and some jokes to help me pry them open ha. They said they did feel something here and I said yeah that's the spirit you know that. I taught them quickly of the apostasy... and they thought that was interesting never thought of it. Well I gave them the reff card and they are like hunny we aren't going to be filling that out we are baptist. And I said well just take it around and come say bye before you leave I'll sing a little somethin for ya! Well they came back and hour later with huge smiles and gave me they card and said, Hunny there is somethin about you. ( The card was filled out and checked the box for the Book of Mormon) I sang amazing grace for them we took some pictures and they wanted me to come stay with them in Texas ha. Joyce the women said, I Love you I will never forget you angel you are so cute. God Bless you my love you are an amazing girl. TENDER MERCY and I just love them!!!
Through others our needs are met...
We met this lady Alice and her sister and brother in law were members but she wasn't. The entire tour I really felt like she didn't care what we had to say but it wasn't until the end. The spirit blurted out now we will watch a clip from the Modern day Prophet today, Thomas s Monson. I had her sister pick which one and at random ( but not really) chose the perfect one. Little did we know Alice was a single mom and was leaving and running away from her abusive husband. The clip was all about the role of a mother. That room was filled with the spirit and Sister Abeyta bore the most beautiful testimony cause she can relate and I bore mine. All of us were crying because of what abuse had done to the daughters of God in that room. When she started that tour she wasn't even claiming to be interested really. But at the end she filled out the card and it read, soon to be baptized LDS, Thank you stay in touch.
Well my loves that's all for now, looks like miracles are happening every moment. God Bless all of you. I love being a missionary my heart is so full of gratitude for the moments I've had this week.

Today is the first day of my life
Dear Babes...
With a new transfer comes new goals, changes, and self reflecting. As I was pondering this morning sitting in west gate listening to some of my favorite music I looked out around me. I am literally sitting where valiant pioneers gave everything they had just to worship. I pictured them walking and pulling those handcarts and thought of my favorite and most touching story I share on tours. Since I have a little extra time I'd like to share it with you. Imagine yourself as this man, what would you do?
There is a story of a man as he made the difficult trek to the Salt Lake Valley, over 1300 miles he started to become very weak and tired and could barely walk another step. He saw a hill in the distance and said, " God I'm going to make it to that hill then I'm going to lay down and die because I can't walk another step." Just as he started walking he felt something push him from behind and saw no one so he kept walking very confused. Then as he got to the point of the hill he felt yet another large push from behind, and no one was there. he realized at that moment that God had heard his prayers, that he wasn't alone and God had sent angels to push his handcarts with him. I know that there have been moments in my life especially on my mission where I have pleaded for the Lord to walk by my side, and suddenly my feet are moving and I'm not the one doing it. Those pioneers had such great faith and never did they let their spirits hang low remember, All is well. And as I sat there early this morning I thought how grateful to know what I do. And that I acted on my faith because I've been blessed so much to serve on these sacred grounds, where millions of people come searching for the missing piece in their life. We can endure the trials of life, why? Because the Savior walks by our side and picks us up when the journey seems to hard. I love my mission I want to be the best me I can. I will fight harder, pray more earnestly and let the spirit guide my every step. This is the First day of the Rest of my Life and I will start strong.
To start off this transfer right of coarse I have two stories why not? So my very first day in west gate I'm helping this HUGE motor coach of lets just call them academy children. Well all of these teenagers walk in dressed up and then all of these middle aged women and 3 men..... Introduced myself and said we are happy to have you here, then one of them turns and says no we are happy to have you HERE..... and all of them I guess where like dude get her number get her number haha... And they were like surrounding me and I was just being professional ha well trying not to laugh actually. They left and I really didn't think anything of it ha..Well little did I know they were polygamist hahahha and I got hit on by them and they wanted me to be one of their wives! SICK ew ahhaha
Remember Tony? The black guy we took around a couple of weeks ago and I sang and he was like Sister Mettra you will never understand how your message was received? Well I called him this week and he was like omg SISTER METTRA I miss you, I think about what you said everyday and I'm praying and I try to help my mind wander so I can hear your angelic voice again cause I miss it. The elders are meeting with me I went to 3 firesides and I'm loving all of this! Remember what I said to you when I was there? I meant it you made an impact on my heart.... I was so humbled that Lord had led me to the temple grounds and I contacted them. I'm so excited to hear what happens next!
Well short and sweet, until next Saturday! I love you all thank you for your prayers they are helping!
Love Sister Mettra
PS if your thinking of seeing me from now till July 5 and you come to the square on Saturday I wont be here!!

He saw a hill in the distance and said, " God I'm going to make it to that hill then I'm going to lay down and die because I can't walk another step." Just as he started walking he felt something push him from behind and saw no one so he kept walking very confused. Then as he got to the point of the hill he felt yet another large push from behind, and no one was there. he realized at that moment that God had heard his prayers, that he wasn't alone and God had sent angels to push his handcarts with him. I know that there have been moments in my life especially on my mission where I have pleaded for the Lord to walk by my side, and suddenly my feet are moving and I'm not the one doing it. Those pioneers had such great faith and never did they let their spirits hang low remember, All is well. And as I sat there early this morning I thought how grateful to know what I do. And that I acted on my faith because I've been blessed so much to serve on these sacred grounds, where millions of people come searching for the missing piece in their life. We can endure the trials of life, why? Because the Savior walks by our side and picks us up when the journey seems to hard. I love my mission I want to be the best me I can. I will fight harder, pray more earnestly and let the spirit guide my every step. This is the First day of the Rest of my Life and I will start strong.
To start off this transfer right of coarse I have two stories why not? So my very first day in west gate I'm helping this HUGE motor coach of lets just call them academy children. Well all of these teenagers walk in dressed up and then all of these middle aged women and 3 men..... Introduced myself and said we are happy to have you here, then one of them turns and says no we are happy to have you HERE..... and all of them I guess where like dude get her number get her number haha... And they were like surrounding me and I was just being professional ha well trying not to laugh actually. They left and I really didn't think anything of it ha..Well little did I know they were polygamist hahahha and I got hit on by them and they wanted me to be one of their wives! SICK ew ahhaha
Remember Tony? The black guy we took around a couple of weeks ago and I sang and he was like Sister Mettra you will never understand how your message was received? Well I called him this week and he was like omg SISTER METTRA I miss you, I think about what you said everyday and I'm praying and I try to help my mind wander so I can hear your angelic voice again cause I miss it. The elders are meeting with me I went to 3 firesides and I'm loving all of this! Remember what I said to you when I was there? I meant it you made an impact on my heart.... I was so humbled that Lord had led me to the temple grounds and I contacted them. I'm so excited to hear what happens next!
Well short and sweet, until next Saturday! I love you all thank you for your prayers they are helping!
Love Sister Mettra
PS if your thinking of seeing me from now till July 5 and you come to the square on Saturday I wont be here!!

Feed my sheep
Dearest Love ones of Mine.....
Well here I sit another transfer has gone by and time is going by so fast. I'm entering now my 8th transfer Yikes!! We had an amazing mission meeting this morning that helped me understand yet again how important this work is. My heart is full of gratitude to the Lord at this time for all of the tender mercies I have seen this week. There were moments this week that I prayed for help and strength and in that moment it came. I would like to start my thoughts in reflecting on this transfer and springing forward to the next that lies ahead. I have been studying a lot lately of the life of Christ, his final moments, his teachings everything. And I was reflecting of who i would be in the last moments of the Savior. Would i be bold and testify who he was? Elder Holland spoke to missionaries in January at the MTC and we watched a little of it today. He said, " You need to be the best missionaries this church has ever had." We are in a war against the powers of Satan and we have to be valiant in all things so that we have the spirit as a shield. He brought our attention to the words of the savior... " if you love me feed my sheep." He asked Simon Peter 3 times because its that important, and if we really loved him that's what we would do. I am so grateful at this time to be a missionary to wear his name on my heart and teach his lost sheep. I love the Savior I love him so much he is my best friend, my brother, my savior and i will serve him until my last breath why?.... Because I Love him and in so doing i will feed his sheep.
I want to share an amazing miracle we saw this week... Adam
Adam was my RC call about 3 weeks ago and although he had heard many things about the church, none of it was true. He is a baseball star to say the least and is originally from Canada but now living here for school. He said that he would come for a tour, and i was so excited!! He had cancelled twice but the spirit said try again. I'm very sensitive to the spirit when it comes to people like this, because God would never give up on his children and i feel the same until prompted otherwise. Well he came and I was able to meet him, to look him in the eyes and tell him how much this gospel has blessed my life and who the Savior is to me. Thomas a member that actually gave me his number came with him and the most powerful thing happened. We were sitting in the conference center and Thomas turns around and pours out his heart to Adam and helps him understand what this means to him and why he was sharing it. I cried the whole time because I know Thomas has struggled in his testimony as well. The spirit was so strong and i was able to testify to Adam that his family would be together forever. For the first time I was looking in the eyes of someone i had found and taught. I was so grateful for that moment in time I want this for him more then anything and I'm looking forward to teaching him!
Its MotorCoach time!!...
You know what that means... 345734503945 people touring and me becoming super crazy and having nutts stories because I'm so excited for summer/ to tell the history ha. This week we took a dutch motor coach and I about died haha these old men would surround us and tell us we were very pretty haha. Then the women would ask a million questions! There were 45 on that tour and when we got the the Christus I just lost it. I could barely make it through my sentence cause the spirit was so strong as i bore my testimony on Jesus Christ, the whole room went silent and i poured my heart out to these guests that had come so far as families. Although none of them accepted a Book of Mormon or missionaries, they will never forget the spirit they felt.
Speaking of MotorCoaches ha.... My new assignment for next transfer....
Well president took me aside this week before transfer conference and pretty much told me everything i was doing ha which he never does. They said this was the hardest choice they had to make. I guess the brotheren are worried about who will be in charge of all the guests at the West Gate and VIP tours .... Well that is my assignment its bigger then being over a zone or district, I'm over the ENTIRE SQUARE. They are white washing it right now and I'm in charge of all tours for the summer, I talk with the tour guides, VIP services. If they have a problem it goes to me then to the APs. Ha no pressure, they called me in their office today and said, Sister Mettra we trust you with everything, God needs you here right now, with the summer coming we need your leadership, personality, and diligence to be the feet of the mission. If west gate fails, so does the square... hmm no pressure! ha so my new comp is sister Albyeta she is from Chino hills CA haha not to far so it will be good!
Time will tell.....
I have been trying to call this guy named Junior for 3 months now and we have never been able to talk. The Lord again helped me understand that I shouldn't give up at all. Today this morning i talked to him and now i know why the Lord had me wait. His heart is softened and he is getting married to a Mormon girl next year. The conversation wasn't long but I taught him about repentance and how much God loves him and wants him to make this step so he can receive more blessings. I felt the spirit so strong when all of the sudden this quote came to my mind... " The pain of sacrifice lasts only a moment, its the fear of the pain of sacrifice that makes us not want to do it." Silence swept the phone and i knew at that moment that is exactly what Junior needed, i committed him to pray to know Gods will and promised he would give him an answer. See only 8 minutes and this mans life will change forever. Because he will come to understand that a temple marriage is what he needs.
" Even if you can not always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can. For he is the very source of Light you seek. He does love you and he knows your fears. He hears your prayers, he is your Heavenly Father and surely he matches with his own the tears his children shed." - Elder Holland
I love you all you are never alone!
Love Sister Mettra

miracles
Dearest Babes...
Well this week has literally been a roller coaster of emotion. Ha I feel like I'm in a glass case of emotion ha.. maybe only funny to me whateves ha.... I have seen the Lord work miracles and right after Satan creep in and put his two cents in. I was pretty use to rejection before my mission, welcome to the entertainment world ha so I thought eh I'll be fine when people reject it but this week proved to me that there is such thing as Godly sorrow and I felt a lot of it. There are days where everyone tells you that your going to hell and what your doing doesn't matter but when it turns into many days sometimes it hurts. I asked myself, " Jenna what is your motivation, why do you keep going?"... My answer came through the spirit ... Miracles give you the motivation to push through the hard moments, Look ahead because your destiny and the miracles are right in front of you. Those words came out of my mouth and I wasn't thinking that in my mind, I was thinking of the Savior. But its so true pushing forward even when the road ahead is dark or clouded with uncertainty, I know that we are not alone because the Lord has been there. I thought about my moments of sorrow this week while listening to, The Lamb of God which btw everyone needs to listen too. But the song when Peter denies the Savior and he feels Godly sorrow, I realized how I would never want that moment to come upon me. So even when everyone says no and that I'm a failure, I can hold my head high and smile because I know that this is true and I don't walk alone. I testify boldly and with my whole heart that Jesus is the Christ the son of God and I will never deny that. I can not because I've seen his miracles in the eyes of the lost souls I find. Just think in your life, what motivates you? What keeps you going? I promise your answer will come in your own way cause God loves you and wants to help you.
God loves us so much that he has restored the priesthood back to the earth through a prophet! Sunday marked the 182 anniversary of the aaronic priesthood being restored. How grateful I am for the power of the priesthood and that through it, we can receive saving ordnance. And when talking to a group of young men and their mission prep class, tears filled my eyes looking at them and I was overwhelmed with gratitude for their choice to serve a mission. We need men to serve. why? Because without them baptism isn't possible and in that moment it all made sense to me why they encourage young men to go. I'm so grateful that the priesthood was restored at this time, and that I can receive the blessings of it. Men anyone who is reading this, do whatever you can to be worthy of the priesthood we need you. I have such a strong testimony of what that power really is, it changed my life. I'm so grateful for my brother and father that have that priesthood to bless our family. Every time I think about blessings I have received from it, I tear up because I know the Lord gave me that blessing. For those of you reading this and don't know what I'm talking about, ask me and I will explain.
Fabio breaks my heart!
Well we met these two young Swiss guys and they were so tender. Fabio and I just hit it off right away cause we are both musicians and love music and everything. Well we quickly realized that neither him or Lincoln believed in anything let alone God. As the tour went on Fabio would open up as we would walk and ask little questions here and there. Then we went to the conference center where miracles always happen as they walked in their eyes were so big and all they said was wow! We started to explain what happened inside, that a prophet of God speaks to the World. They thought that was cool but didn't really catch them as much as the building itself did. Sister Dantas bore her testimony of prayer, Sister Andersen about The Book of Mormon, and I felt the spirit lead my words to speak about the night I found God. Alone in my car one night while it was raining I asked if God was there, and through music my prayers were answered. Tears started streaming down my face because in that moment standing there, the memories and feelings came fleeting back into my heart. I couldn't speak my emotions were to strong, i looked up and Fabio had his hand on his heart he could feel it. I told him I know God loved them and I saw Fabio swallow big. I then decided to sing and it was almost like I wasn't there, I was back in my car. Fabio just smiled and again put his hand on his heart. We invited and Fabio looked at me and said you have a voice of an angel, but I don't think I need God........
Convention thought we would see the sights...... ya right!
We met this huge group from well all over the place and they were here for some crazy convention. Haha I'm laughing even typing this cause how funny these people were. I went into my crazy mood where everything was funny and my jokes were really good ok haha. Mike was the funniest one and he thought it would be a good idea for him to stand on the stage of the conference center and preach haha. He started walking down there and we were like well you can go to this point but not past it ha. He yells like he is about to sing... " I Bet the acoustics of this building are amazing." Hahah he was like talk singing and we were laughing so hard. Then they stopped the lady playing the piano and asked her to play stairway to heaven haha. They were NUTS, and to top it off they said now sing how great tho art! ... Um ok? I did next to the piano and it echos omg you kinda had to be there but it was funny.
How did you know?
I spoke to a girl this week named Hannah and the RC call was amazing, I really felt that I was suppose to talk to her that day. We started talking about why there is a God, how I knew and how she could know. The conversation switched really fast when I felt she needed to know that she was a daughter of God. We started talking about how people see women today, not the same as God does. Well she goes, how did you know? Ha I literally just got back from Ireland and you called. I had been holding onto her card for a while waiting for her to come back. Well She said yes to the Book of Mormon and everything and I was so excited to teach her. Cause for the first time in a while, I felt like I needed to talk to her. Well sadly 3 days later I get a text saying pretty much never mind. Just like with Fabio my heart hurt. Not cause I was discouraged or depressed but because they were so close. We will see what happens, at least I can say the spirit led that conversation, and one day she will remember how she felt.
Light...
At least three guests this week that did not refer, told us that we have a certain light about us. Its in your eyes girls, and like in your smile to? One of them goes really your teeth are white and your all happy what is it? ha we explained of course.
Hungary!
We took people around from Hungary/ Romania and it was amazing. They were all so old and really funny aka my favorite cause I can joke with them! Well in the conf center= miracles again... I felt prompted to speak about prayer and that's how you can know if the Book of Mormon is true, well I sang did you think to pray and no Joke the old man starts singing with me and they started crying it was amazing. I loved them! We will teach one of them which I'm sooo happy about!
Rob.. PTSD
We met this guy and he was totally inactive sadly due a lot to war, but as we talked I knew I needed to talk to him. He was this HUGE guy like 6'9 and like a biker dude. Well I wasn't afraid I made jokes with him and everything. He said he couldn't believe in God after what he saw and it was so sad. We showed a clip of Elder Holland and the atonement of the Savior. He started to tear up but was nervous to share emotion. Well Sister Andersen took the girl and I started talking to Rob. Long story short.. we were talking about when he lost his faith and I looked up to him with big eyes and pointed to him and said YOU MISS THIS. So loud ha I was embarrassed but whateves it needed to be said. I said don't deny what you feel you aren't dead yet be the man you read about in your Patriarchal blessing. Um ok ha really bold of me but he accepted it and said, your right I believe. I committed him to pray again! It was amazing/ really scary cause he probs could kill me ha.
Well Love you all! Next week are transfers so hold on tight!

May 9
Dear Loves...
This week has gone to show me that, nothing is impossible with the Lords help... and a little Sunshine :) Well I'll say it, I miss my ocean and sunshine but it makes me more grateful when the sun does come! I'm feeling better since last week and know that only through the Lords help am i really where i am. I know that a good attitude and faith can endure anything that come our way. When i was studying this week i really came to understand how much the Lord loves each and every one of us. Although we are not even close to perfect, he teaches us with love. I came across this quote this week and really love it,
"Pause to ponder the suffering Christ felt in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the awareness of the depth of gratitude for him, you appreciate every opportunity to show your love for him by diligently serving in his church."- Elder Bushe
And it has made me understand now, how utterly alone the Savior was during the moments in the garden.... But he was alone so we would never have to be. And how grateful i am for that in my life especially on a mission. I love my Savior and all he did for me because no matter what happens to me I know I don't walk alone in this work.
Kieth
i had an RC phone call this week that helped me see really that the spirit will tell you exactly what you need to say if you will let him. As i started to talk to Kieth he talked about how he was a strong catholic and everything but as the minutes past he started to soften up little by little. I finally found what he needed, to know that God was really there. He said you know Jenna, i wish i knew God more you seem to really know him. And I said the phrase that comes into my mind often, "I always believed that there was a God but it wasn't until i got down on my knees and asked till i knew." The spirit pressed a pause and he said, that was the most beautifully worded sentence i have ever heard. I said Kieth I'm calling to tell you that God loves you and he wants you to know him. He wants to bless your life, will you let him? .... We will be teaching him this week :)
Angels on the Square...
Sister Andersen and I received the pleasure of being at the desk for a little bit this week! My Favorite!! Cause when people walk into temple square, you are the first people they see. Aka you better be excited to see them, as i am :). Well Joan and Berry were talking to us a couple from Australia and they said when they walked around here they just felt peace. And they wondered what it was? We were able to bare or testimonies about the pioneers and of coarse tears came to my eyes as they always do when i speak about the Savior or the pioneers, well in general the gospel. But as i was testifying Joan says, your heavenly almost like an angel, hunny do you see that glow. Its the way you speak and your eyes just light up. And sister Andersen and i were able to tell them why we were different. That was an amazing moment where i really felt the lord magnify us.
Indie guys on the bikes.....
We were walking across the conference center back to the square and i was like oh sorry sorry cause i was in their way and he goes your fine your fine..... wow you are fine hahhahahha i was laughing so hard I almost tripped.
Miracles surround the Temple
Sister Andersen and i tried to something a little different then we usually do, and that was to walk on the grounds of the temple in the early evening to find some people. Well we saw these three guys and we kinda were following them ha but its ok to be creepy sometimes we are just helping with salvation haha. So my comp was like no Sister Mettra they saw us, and i said so what ha lets go. She was embarrassed so i just put on my smile and started talking to them. They wanted a picture all together so we took their picture and they were so funny especially TONY. So tony was this young black guy from TN! And he was visiting his friends here from the army. Tony was baptist the other two have been inactive since they were 14 pretty much. As we started teaching about the temple the spirit was so strong and i knew that this would be a miracle. Half way into the tour tony said, wow this place is heavenly! We felt the spirit prompt for the conference center which i love! .. We talked about prophets and what it means that we really have a prophet today! They took a seat at the very top and my heart started beating so fast. I saw for just a moment how much God loved each of these young men. They had all been to war and served their country well, but all had broken spirits wounded in the battle of life. As We stood there I told them i would like to share a hymn with them. They got so excited and all sat there and one i saw a tear come down Tim's face. The spirit overcame all of us i couldn't speak this truly was a song of the heart trying to heal the wounds of these men. We invited Tony to learn more about the restored gospel and he said yes! He then looked at me and sad something I'll never forget, he said... Sister Mettra you will never know how many lives you have touched through that voice. And you will never know how your message is received, thank you for sharing, thank you.
Opium?
Some guy was just walking past us on the square and told us how to make our own personal opium stash hahahah how thoughtful?
Swedish Babes
We found some Swedish babes with tats at the flag pole and decided that they needed a little tour! As we took them around we quickly learned.... they didn't know anything about God. I've never testified so bodily of the power of God before. At the christus after playing the narration in Swedish, I know that God loves you so much that's why he brought you here to salt lake city to be right here in this room. I felt my face and my spirit just glow because i could feel the Lord by my side speaking with me everything I said the spirit double testified. We will teach them in a couple of weeks!!
Youth Conference..
I was privileged to be asked to sing at a youth conference this week and Sister Ching and i came up with an arrangement with did you think to pray and Joseph Smiths first prayer! it was amazing i wish you were all there. I haven't felt the spirit testify while I'm singing so strongly in a long time. My heart was pounding fast and i knew that this was exactly what many needed to hear in that room including me. Before singing i was able to bare my testimony of how the power of prayer is real and that's what led me here!
Well as always there is much more to say but i must say goodbye now with a thought.....
Don't look behind you to your past because your destiny is right in front of you... are you looking at it?
Love you all!
Love Sister Mettra

All is well
Hello Loves!
This week has been quite a interesting one and this email may be a little shorter then others but all is well! This week i had to take a little midnight stroll to the ER. Not the greatest thing to start off with but none the less has to be addressed. Wednesday i started to feel really dizzy and sick but kept working, and then Thursday nothing was getting better just worse. My DR wanted me to go to the ER for blood tests and everything and i said nah i will just keep working. Well that day i went to stand up after taking a nap and fell right back down and gravity took over the rest ha. Sister Andersen said i was passed out in my bed for like 2 hours. I became a little nervous and decided to be humble and just go even though i didn't feel like it. Well after being checked into the ER i was on a IV and blood tests right away. 12am,1am,2am the Doctor came in and said all looked pretty normal but felt like we needed to also do a EkG. Ten min later he comes in very concerned that i had abnormal Twave inversions? i don't know medical people you can figure that out. But pretty much i didn't have enough oxygen getting to my heart and he said if i was a 50 year old male he would think i was having a heart attack haha comforting... Well 3am we finally got home and i was drained and went to sleep. The next morning they took me back to the hospital to have a stress test of my heart super fun! All these wires hooked up to me running on a treadmill and a echo. They aren't quite sure still whats wrong everything thing looks fairly normal .... so I'm a mystery case aka totally normal to me haha. But through all of this I remember one of my favorite hymns....
" Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard? Tis not so all is right! Why should we think to earn a great reward, if we now shun the fight? Gird up your loins fresh courage take, our God will never us forsake and soon we'll have this tale to tell all is well, all is well." As i continue to fight and smile through the bumps the Lord will be right by my side, all is well :)
A miracle in the mess...
David we met on chat and he had many theories about the church ha aka not true! But he could feel the spirit as we testified to him that God loved him and that this really could bless his life.... He accepted missionaries in...... IRELAND!! We taught him 2 days ago and look forward to speaking to him again!!
God loves your Daughter
We had a little tour yesterday with Elders and their investigators! My favorite cause the spirit is always there, this man was so shy with his wife and baby but they were so humble to learn. They had brought the family to church that day and the Elders were able to give a baby blessing! I looked at the father and said, do you know that blessing came from God? He said i dint know.... words cant express how i felt during that blessing. And I said, " God loves your daughter so much that he brought back his authority through a boy named Joseph Smith, so that you could have that moment." He just smiled and kinda put his head down the spirit was so strong and he is excited to learn more from these Elders!! YAY!
I know that I'm not perfect and still have a lot to improve on. But what i do know is that when we humble ourselves before the Lord, we can learn a lot in the midst of a "rough patch." ha I think I've learned to love them cause A I can learn a lot, B something good is coming around the corner if i keep the faith!
I love being a Missionary and how much joy it brings to the world. And I've really learned how far a smile can go, even when the road ahead looks a little grey!
Love you Alll :)
