This is the 2nd update for Sister Allred. Hopefully I can be a bit quicker in updating her blog while she is away. She is doing well and loving it at the MTC. Here are some bits from her email:
"Also last week I forgot to tell you about when we had a sub and we had to go play hide and go find the "investigator" it was so much fun! Brother Anderson went and ran out of the classroom and then we had to go find him and street contact him! it was really fun we all like booked it out of the classroom and ran to find him! then when we did we were talking and the classic what makes your church different then other churches questions came up and so we were like uhhh we have the spirit and then we couldn't even explain what it was.. but it was still fun!! Then on Saturday we had another TRC and this time it went so well!! We had to talk to them about prayer and since they were all ready members we just asked them questions and had them read scriptures on praying with real intent it was awesome! we had to do 2 twenty minute "lessons" and the second lesson we had two high school aged girls and they were so fun to teach! and they really helped us with our Korean and then like just made us laugh. there is such a difference when you are teaching and happy and the people you are teaching are happy. the spirit is so much stronger and they can learn a lot more from the spirit then from us with our broken Korean! So this next Saturday we are teaching about the Book of Mormon! I am so excited! especially since like I have found a new love for the Book of Mormon and I cant help but smile when I talk about it! Even in Korean! ha ha Seriously who knew that it could contain so much.. I'm shocked.. it is like my new best friend! I have gained a whole new testimony of it and what it can do to your life if you just read it!
I still have my moments of what in the world am I doing here but then the lord being well the Lord gives me the boosts I need.. and its usually through someone else! So remember that if you are prompted to say something or to just smile at someone do it.. you never know when the Lord is using you as someones help for that day! Try to be able to keep the spirit with you always he is such an awesome companion!!"
Well this is the end for now, more to come as Sister Allred's mission continues......

Mission Update #1

This is the first of many updates to Megan's BLOG by her family. She has asked up to keep everyone updated while she is serving her mission in the Korea Daejon Mission. Sister Allred left on July 27th and she has been out for almost 2 weeks now. She has asked that everyone please write her letters either through the mail or on DearElder.com This will help save time when she is able to access her email on her P-Day . We will be posting parts of her letters and emails on her BLOG.
Sister Allred is being taught by Brother Pendley. She has a great group of Sisters she is with. Her companion is Sister Sagers from Provo. Her roomies are Sister G ( I need to find her name) from Mongolia, Sister Knapp from Pocatello, Sister Grahamn and Sister Terry. Three of the group will be going to Daejon, and the others to Seoul and Pusan.
Sister Allred says, "I am actually loving it here so far and am so excited to actually be here. It's crazy how strong the Spirit is everywhere and how much I have learned about the Gospel and it's only my second day!"
This is a story she relayed to us:"Sister K hurt her back during the BBall game. During personal study she started crying and the Elders automatically jumped up and asked if she wanted a blessing. They found another Elder with oil and gave her a blessing. It was amazing! We were all in tears. What made it so special I think is that they did it without hesitation. I don't know if any other Elders would have jumped up so fast. It was cool. We are definitely blessed with having so many priesthood holders around."
So this is what we have so far. We expect to hear from her tomorrow and we will update as the weeks go by. Please remember her in your prayers and write her when you can.
