Hello family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a pretty eye opening week!!! Not only because of General Conference but this week was a great week of lessons learned and just working hard- it was really a great week!!!! I am trying to stay busy and always keeping my focus on others. That's how we do!!! So we started off this week by having dinner with JB. She is a really sweet mom with 2 kids. She is kind to the missionaries and she tells us all about what she's doing in her life (whether you want to know or not) hahaha!!!!!!! We had a good discussion as we always do. She was asking many questions about different church topics. She also likes to hear what missionaries think about different things. We had such a fun dinner with her; it's never a dull moment and I love that!!!!!!!! Well as we were finishing up for dinner and helping her clean up, she gets a text from her son who was supposed to take us home. It said he was calledd into work and couldn't come and get us. We had an appointment in about 15 min. with someone and they were waiting on us. They didn't have a cell phone so we couldn't call. We were 2.2 miles from our apartment and from where the appointment was. So E. Butikofer and I ran!!!! It was a good workout. We looked funny- 2 guys in white shirts and ties- but we did it. We made it back with time to spare! It is good to know if I still needed too, I could run 2 miles without stopping. Thank you walk area!!!!! It all worked out and we were able to have a great lesson on General Conference and the B.O.M.
We had a great district meeting this week. The zone leaders there. They are cool guys that try get along with everyone. They chastised the District for not doing a very good job at finding people. They challenged us to do better. My companion and I have been trying hard but we will try even harder to find more people. I liked the ideas they gave us to improve. it was a good training.
One thing I absolutely LOVE about Pennsylvania is that everyone is always themselves. I want to be myself in all places!!! Young women should know this quote "stand as witnesses of God, at all times, and in all things and in all places." That's what I want do as I am striving to be ME! The people of Pennsylvania are always who they say they are. They will tell you if they are good at something or not. They will never fake who they truly are.
Austin that is so sick you got 12 tackles. I'm so proud of you!!!!!! Keep it up big guy! I'm rooting for you. I'm your number #1 fan!!!
Well we watched conference at the Bishop's and it was a great conference weekend!!!! So to answer your question, I did get a great answer to a prayer that I've recently been praying about. I've really been trying to lose myself in this work; doing my best. I received an answer regarding those things. I had a lot of impressions anout things that I need to be better at. I took a bunch of notes. My absolute favorite talk was from J. Devin Cornish. He talked about how we can ALL make it to the Celestial Kingdom if we repent and forsake our sins. Sometimes I don't feel that I will measure up so it was reassuring I that CAN and WILL be in the presence of our Heavenly Father if I do those things. Best news in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked how simply he stated it. Now I'm going to share that message/talk with everyone who feels like they aren't deserving of God's love or feel they fall short.
I love all of you. Have a great week. Keep smelling the roses and splashing in puddles. Love you all. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
