hi fam!
this week was so good oh my. probs like one of the best weeks on my mission! i'm not joking!
highlights:
1. temple: I GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! it was the greatest. it was kinda crazy bc we had to pick up a sister in Mattoon, which made it like a 5 hour drive. #worthittho we had to be in the chapel at 12 and we got there at like 11:45 but we made it :) the session was just so peaceful. i was loving it. it was such a blessing to not have to think about anything for a little bit. i also got to see some of my bffs so that's fun. now i get to wait 5 more months to go again haha all of you who can go to the temple whenever, GO! take advantage of it. i never realized how much i love/need the temple until i couldn't go as often as i wanted to.
2. conference: okay can we just all take a minute and talk about how amazing conference was??????????? like hello... can that be more than twice a year or... we watched every session at a members house. it was so great. they fed us and everything :) conference is like christmas as a missionary! i had too many favorite talks. i super loved president uchtdorf's, elder holland's, and elder snow's. but i loved the all!
teaching:
1. larry: we started the pos with him! he really liked it! we used bible and book of mormon verses and he liked that too. oh man he literally knows it is TRUE. i can totally tell he's prepared bc he eats our lessons up. oh man it's so cool! and then in his closing prayer he was thanking Heavenly Father for giving us the truth on the earth :) aye wassupppp. he finna be dunked.
2. arianna: she's getting baptized this sunday! eeeep! so pumped!
3. bobbi: our NEW! whattup! she was a potential... we taught her about the bom and she had a lot of questions. she said she would read the intro and then we are meeting with her tomorrow to talk more about why we study it along with the bible! we're pumped!
4. heather: she is a la's caretaker we are teaching! we read the bom intro and 1 nephi 1 with her and invited her to p2k (pray to know lolol) about the bom! she is so prepared! her desire to know is there and she is sincere, too. once she gets her answer, she will progress so fast!
my favorite quote from conference comes from elder holland:
"the great thing about the gospel is that we get credit for trying."
it's sooo true! don't give up if you feel like you're fallen down. KEEP GOING!
i love you all. have a great week!
