Travel Plans- Alabama Here I come!


Hello family! So this week has been better other than I got sick- so that was fun.. NOT! But thankfully the elders in my district gave me a blessing.   They just came over and said you look really sick and you need a blessing- want one? So I thought that was very cute! Somehow I got the nick name of fireball and sassy so the other day in class the teacher said something along the lines of Do you know what we are doing in class today?   And i said no, but I'm sure you will tell us.   Someone asked, who said that? Brother Feltsed (my teacher) said,  That would be Sister Denning our sassy fireball!   So whenever someone says something a little sassy I get blamed-   usually it really is me saying the the sassy thing.   Does that really shock any of us??
I got to be the music coordinator this  last week and we had to do a special musical number.   We did the EFY "As sisters in Zion"  and "Army of Helaman" song.  Guys it was so cool! I think I will remember that moment for a long time.. maybe forever.   It was just so amazing because the spirit was so strong.   I realized that I am part of God's army and holy cow,  it was amazing! I can't even say more then it was AMAZING! I am so thankful that I get to be part of God's army, and i get to proclaim his truth! Church is true- end of story :)  
So  I leave for Alabama at 4 am tomorrow morning and we take off at 7:10 am.  Then I get to meet my mission president,   so hopefully I wont be totally insane from not getting any sleep the night before, being on a plane, and having a lay over.   So this will be fun :) But I am really excited to start really teaching the people of Alabama! 
I love you all sooooo  MUCH! 



I Will Go Where He Wants Me To Go


Alright so it's been a full week since I left ya'll and it's been insane in good and bad ways. 
This Week's Events: 
 I am in the same classroom ALL DAY EVERDAY and I don't know if you know this about me,  but I don't do well sitting in the same room all day everyday.   So lets just say by the end of the night I am bouncing off the walls and I can't even dance!  I totally am loving gym time when I get to run and move and shake. 
This week was super hard but it's also been super good! Yesterday we had a meeting with our teacher and I totally had a break down- I was crying and sobbing and it was just bad. It's hard for me sometimes to be in the same room as the Elders because they are always going on about how they have such a spiritual high.   I don't always feel that same way, so I got annoyed that I wasn't feel the same.    I was comparing myself to them, so while talking to my teacher I brought that up.   But at the same time I love my elders because they were able to give me a blessing.    The blessing was so amazing!   It talked about everything I needed to hear and it said that even when I don't feel the spirit with me he's there guiding me so that helped a lot.   The blessing also talked a lot about you guys actually about how you would be taken care of and I didn't need to worry.  
Later that day we had TRC- which is when we knock on a door and we just start teaching someone we don't know anything about.   Then we just go in and see if they will let us talk.  We met a lady and her name was Kamin. She was super sweet.  I  prayed to my Heavenly Father that I would be able to know what she needed to hear and would help her believe.   We talked about the word of wisdom, and also the atonement.   After sister bringhurst and i were done she asked if we could come back and teach her.  So on Thursday we meet with Kamin again. Great right!?  
We had a fireside last night-  Elder Evans of the 70 came and spoke.    I  wrote things down and it wasn't until later that i read what i actually had written.  This is part of what I had written: 
I've given 18 months of my life to Him.   I will go where He wants me to go and when He needs me to go I will teach who He wants me to teach and how He needs me to teach. I'm giving 18 months of my life, but He is giving me my forever. I am His. I belong to Him. I am His.
