Excerpts of Sister Scherzinger's letters:
- Oh my, how time flies! It seems just like yesterday I was trying to figure out how to not be awkward in everything I do... Oh wait... Not much has changed.
- Bingo got feisty this week for #LightTheWorld. Our elderly friends shouted, "SHUT UP AND PLAY THE GAME GIRLS!" Sometimes we need to just stop! We are missing out when we talk it, but don't WALK IT!
- The Baptism was amazing! Angelina was grinning from ear to ear. I just absolutely love her. She is going to change lives.
- I truly know that BEING IN THE SERVICE OF YOUR FELLOW MEN, YOU ARE SERVING YOUR GOD. You don't have to be a missionary to do it!
- Oh how I love Christmas! As the first snow fall of the year has made its way to Maine, I couldn’t help but smile as we drove through a Winter WONDERland. Why is it that no matter who or what you believe in, EVERYONE seems to catch the Spirit of Christmas?
- I am just excited that this next week we will have a few days of 20* weather. THAT'S A WHOLE 20* ABOVE 0* !!!!!!! For those of you don't know that is a big thing! I'll be able to feel my toes!!!
- We are only restricted when it is like -10 all day. Even then, we just duck into our apartment and then head back out. WE can only be outside for 30 minutes at a time.
- This week we received a new Prophet and a new First Presidency. What a blessing that is for us to witness. I can't help but think of how literal we should take the scripture "I am the same today, tomorrow,and forever." We can all draw such great comfort from that!
- I know it is true.

- Sister McArthur turned around to see me slip and fall into the SPLITS...Only to have a whole bunch of people gawk. I got up, we laughed, and went on our merry way.
- This got me thinking, You can slip and fall in front of a lot of people ( in life/gospel sense, you can make a big mistake that everyone can see ) but none of the slipping and falling matters. It is how YOU GET BACK UP.
- HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! Lets not make New Years resolutions out of obligation, but do it out of a pure desire to change something, to become better, and closer to the Savior!
- I have been pondering a lot about how each time someone is told to flee into the wilderness, they are given a tool by the Lord. We all have our own wildernesses, so what tool has Christ given you?
My final talk to fellow missionaries at Zone Conference 2018
- I know that I want Jesus Christ at the center of my life. I know that without a shadow of a doubt. He is my Savior. My Brother. And my Best friend. He brings the sweetness and joy that Alma the Younger explains in Alma 36.
- I now know that EVERY “souls is great in the sight of God;” That we are literally his children, and that this is HIS work. If this work was easy, HE wouldn’t be apart of it. So keep going. Even when it’s hard. Because that’s when we allow him most to help, and that’s when our true growth happens.
- And lastly, I know that I want everything that the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ has to offer. I have seen it change lives, and it has just begun to change mine. Don’t waist a minuet of the Lords time. It is SO precious. And you will wish for every moment back. Let him work merely through you to help “ Bring to pass the immortality and eternal life” of HIS CHILDREN.
- Elders and Sisters, shall you “not go on in so great a cause?” I pray you do.
