I want my family and my friends to know...

First of all.....KAREN IS SET FOR BAPTISM! Right after I emailed last week we had a lesson with her and she had read her reading assignment and MORE. She kept pointing out scriptures about baptism and then she said, "And I'm ready to be baptized." WHAT?! the only problem is that she is in North Carolina (Zane, find her) for the next month or so but when she gets back....IT'S ON!

I was reading the talk from Sister Reeves this past week and at the end she says: "This is what I want my family to know..." So I decided to make my own. I want my family and friends to know...That the BOM has healing power beyond all else. No matter what, the Savior through his Atonement, has the power to heal us. I know because He has healed me. If you want to grow closer to the Savior read the BOM EVERY DAY! The bom is Christ. He is the way! the prophets and apostles whole purpose is to testify of Christ. They will not lead us astray but closer to Him. This is Christ's church on the earth. living the gospel of Jesus Christ every day is possible. As you read the Bom, pray and seek how you can change and then do it! True happiness comes as we are founded on Christ. The way we can know Christ is our Savior is through reading the words of ancient and modern day prophets. 

i LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! 

I have photos but forgot my camera cord..oops!

Have a great week!

Welcome to the World Baby Gray!

Just so every knows, I have a new Nephew, Grayson Staker and I love him! He was born on Friday June 6, 2014. He is a fighter! 

This week flew by! Sometimes it feels like we're never in our area but that's only because we're never in our area. haha 

There is a new family in the ward, maybe i talked about them before, the Terry's. They are just so stinking awesome! They're my age. We are having lunch and playing games with them today! They are from Sandy. They spoke in sacrament meeting! 

Speaking of Sacrament meeting....it was an exciting one. Not because any investigators came....first of all, there was a moth flying around for the second week in a row. It was just going around smacking people in the face. I had a hard time focusing. 

Then this kind of scary guy comes walking in, jingling, to sacrament meeting. I mean, we don't judge but this dude is in all black, piercings, tats, a huge cross bling, and a backpack. The elders sit next to him and Sacrament meeting starts. After the sacrament this man leaves but he leaves behind his backpack. The bishop saw this and was a little worried so he sent a note to the elders telling them to take the backpack out. HE THOUGHT THERE WAS A BOMB OR SOMETHING IN THIS BAG. Now I can't blame him because I thought the exact same thing. A bunch of men went out and I'm not exactly sure what happened but it was all just blown out of proportion. I do have to say though, that I was scared for my life. haha 

....oh the adventures of a mission! 

I love you all!

Longest Week of my Mission!

Woof, it's been quite the long week...

I'm gonna write a lot this week, (compared to previous) so be prepared. 

So...We did some service for a member who has a farm. We shoveled cow yuck into her garden. it was .....fun :) We got some sun so that was great. We moved back into the Cammacks (i'm not sure if i said we had moved into the YSAs apartment for a week and a half) and while getting myself cleaned up I found 59 red dots on my stomach. IT WAS NUTS AND I FLIPPED. We had Karen check them, she's a nurse, and she said they were scabies! YIKES! The next day we went to the doc and I got the treatment cream for it. Applied it that night and washed everything the next day. 

Janiece sent me photos of my little Cohen and I just love him so much! He was born on the day of my 9 month mark, isn't that cute?! I'm a little obsessed with him...it's fine. I kiss his picture every day! :) Sister Jorgensen made us Cafe Rio burritos! It was an answer to my prayers! I haven't had anything remotely close to that since home! Yum Yum. We had a funny conversation that night with the zone leaders. They called to ask how all the sisters in the zone were doing and then they asked about us. Well, we felt like we should let them know that I went to the Dr and they asked what for. Sister Call said, "she has a disease, just kidding. she uh.....has....uh..." mean while I'm whispering, " tell them I have a rash, just tell them I have a rash!" "she uh....she.......uhhhhh...." I take the phone and yell "I HAVE A RASH, OKAY!".........YIKES! I don't think I have laughed that hard in.....my whole life. How embarrassing! OH WELL!!!! 

We had a meeting with Brother Price, our assistant WML on friday. They had us over for breakfast. (Dad, I had a bacon maple bar doughnut just for you :) We are excited to work with brother Price. Plus, he loves tracting with a burning passion (no lie). 

One of our Less-active members is trying to quit smoking this month so we are going to go off sugar for a month (except for dinner appointments). It is going to be awesome, I can already tell. 

I am so grateful for the Atonement! It is what allows us to be better and to keep pushing forward. I know that Atonement is for EVERYONE but we as members of Christ's true church have FULL AND COMPLETE access to is so lets use it, K? 

Shout out to my baby nephew Grayson coming at ya this Thursday, June 5, 2014! I love you baby boy and will meet you in..........(I'm not going to say how long because it's sad). Good luck to my Sis, Jess! 

I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! 

Sister Dumont

PS: My comp has an eye problem. I've never been to the doc so much on my mission! Sometimes I make fun of her....I'm rude! 

(This is Elder Croak, he lives in our window well :)

A Short Note

I am bad at managing my time on here.....

I love Kearney! The work is moving forward and we are finding new investigators and love the sisters so much! 

A few shout outs: 

*First to my little bro who, in less than 12 hours will be set apart as a missionary. GO GET EM!*

*Next: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ABBY, JENI AND JAKE!*

*Final shout out to my Kaela Baucom who said she was never getting married but is currently engaged: CONGRATS! Syd, looks like it's just you and me! ps i totally called Kaela was next to get married :) *

I just want you all to know that the Atonement is so amazing. Use it every day! I am grateful that I don't have to be the same person I was yesterday or even 15 minutes ago! Thank you for all of your love and support! 

Love 

Sister Dumont

ps WRITE ME :) 

Longest week ever!

It was long but it was great! So remember how I gave this big shout out to Sister Call and how much I was going to miss her and how much I learned from her? Well....joke was on us because we both stayed in Kearney together. I take it all back :) haha Just kidding, it is all still true! We both were so convinced she was leaving though that it was kind of awkward when we were still companions. haha We're learning how to be companions again! 

In other news....SISTER CARLY LYNN CASE IS NOW IN MY ZONE! That means I get to see her! That means we get to do exchanges with her! Heavenly Father is so aware of us, it's true. 

My dear friend Stacey Vance (was my STL my first transfer) asked me last week how I knew that Heavenly Father was aware of me. I started looking for more ways this week and it was such a blessing. My studies were pretty selfish and I asked questions about myself because I have a lot of improvements to make but he answered my questions every time. He even answered the questions that I didn't ask! My challenge to each of you this week is to ask HF a question before you study/read the BOM and watch what happens. Y'all should email me and tell me about your experiences. 

Karen is doing amazing! She is jumping hurdles left and right. She knows the BOM is true and she already wants to share the gospel with every one. She said before she can get baptized she has to know it won't negatively affect her marriage. PRAY! 

We got a few referrals from members of the Bishopric this week and they are now investigators, our teaching pool is slowly but surely building. 

As this new transfer begins we know that all the sister are going to have a Baptism this transfer...including us! So hold on to your britches and prepare yourselves for the best transfer ever! 

I love you all so much! I know that Christ lives and he is our Savior. I know that a man will get nearer to God by reading and abiding by the precepts found in the BOM so read it! JUST DO IT! (nike)

Happy Mother's Day

Howdy! 

I hope y'all had the best week ever because I sure did! I want to thank y'all for the birthday wishes and love :) I hope everyone had a great mother's day! I don't know how I got so lucky to have my only birthday on my mission be on a mother's day when I get to skype my family! And speaking of.....SHOUT OUT TO MY GORGEOUS family! Y'all look so great and I forgot how beautiful and handsome you all are! No wonder... :) 

These two will be in the field together in about 16 days.

I have the best companion ever! I am so grateful that I got to be here with her to Celebrate my birthday. Sister Flannigan is the best ever! They suprised me with birthday lunch and yummy bath and body works stuff! Also....on Saturday we helped her put stones on her house....you could say we're stoners....but then that would be highly inappropriate so we'll just keep it as the stone wall sisters! 

The best part of my birthday was getting to skype my family and especially my mommy :) I love y'all so much! There is no place I would rather be but it sure was good to see you all! 

I want to invite everyone to read 2 corinthians 12: 9-10 this scripture has changed my life and I hope it does that same for you! 

We WILL set Karen for baptism this week, I just know it! 

I love you all so much :) 

Love Sister Dumont

"Thrust in YOUR sickle"

We had stake conference this weekend and it was possibly the best ever. I wish y'all could have heard it. Elder Ward of the 70 was there. Saturday night session was all about missionary work and us 4 sisters in Kearney were asked to do a special musical number. I'll be sending videos home soon.

I cannot explain to you how amazing this night was. The musical number was the EFY medley but we used the new missionary words to As Sisters in Zion. The spirit was so strong. I just smiled the whole meeting because it was all about missionary work. Elder Ward personalized D&C 4:4. He talked about how we each have our own sickle and we are to use it to work around us. THERE ARE PEOPLE WITHIN OUR REACH! All of us, not just some of us. Who can you reach out to and share this GOOD NEWS with? Thrust in your sickle. The gathering of Israel is happening. Will you be a part of it?

We also had Mission Leadership conference this week and it was incredible. the mission is good at being obedient and working hard but we need the FAITH to see miracles.

I LOVE ALL YOU MOTHERS OUT THERE! Especially my own mother. I am where I am because of you and I thank you so much for that! And to my grandma, sisters, and aunties! Have a great mothers day!

 LOVE ALWAYS,

 Sister Dumont
