This Blog was started while I was serving a mission for the Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois and Spokane, Washington from March 18, 2009-September 22, 2010. My mom posted my weekly emails to my family on this blog. For a bit I used it to throw out some thoughts, but then decided to keep it as Sister Bailey's Blog and start a new one,

A "probationary time"
excerpt from Anne's letter dated March 25...
The MTC is great. It is a lot of work, but so worth it! I am so blessed to have this time to learn all I can before I leave.I know this is where I am suppose to be! We all have a work to do. This is part of mine.We are taught that this life is a "probationary time" for men to prepare to meet God. Well, the MTC is like a "probationary time" for missionaries to prepare to meet their investigators! In both situations, we need to learn all we can about God and his plan for us so that when we meet God/investigators we can not be burdened with the embarrassment, shame, or whatever other feelings creep into one's heart when you fail to prepare adequately.
My teachers are wonderful and my companion is Heaven sent! She is so strong where I am so weak. We feed off of each other and strengthen each other in every way. Her name is Sister Parker from Bountiful, Utah.
Today I get to call back someone I talked to in the call center yesterday. I didn't catch his name but his mother had received a Book of Mormon. I bore my testimony to him and he promised, without me even asking him, to read the Book of Mormon with his Mom and asked if I would call him back today so they could tell me what they thought and felt about it. He said he'd pray about it too!
I'm excited to say the least. Time is short. Thanks for writing and remember Moroni 8:3!
