What a crazy week!!! I will start off with a story..
On Friday this week Sister Jackson and had just finished a lesson and were about to go tracting with some time we had before supper. Both of us had to go to the washroom pretty bad so we stopped at the gas station before heading to the street we were planning to go to. I went into the washroom and handed Sister Jackson my coat which had the keys to the car in it so I didnt have to carry it in with me. When I walked out of the washroom Sister Jackson was no where to be found.. I panicked because she had the phone, and the keys. So there I was, in a gas station with no phone, no keys and no companion. I brainstormed and quickly rushed outside and sure enough, the car was also gone. I decided to walk to the closest members house which was about a mile away. When I got there we looked up the mission office's phone number and called them to see what I should do. At this point I was bawling because I didn't know where she had gone or why.. It was quite stressful. Luckily our cars have tracking devices on them so we were able to find where she was and get a hold of her within a few hours. Turns out the stress of the mission was just too much and she was trying to head home. We talked to her and she was able to come back and all is well now:)........
april fools!!
Haha none of that actually happened, I thought it would be fun to play a little joke though even though I am a day late!
This week was actually pretty good! We were able to meet with Leah, the girl who came to church last week. She has had a rough past 6 months. She got into the wrong crowd and was headed down the wrong path but I believe she has a sincere desire to change! I am excited to see how she progresses!
General conference was amazing!!! So many exciting changes made. I think my favorite part about conference was the solemn assembly on Saturday morning. As they announced President Nelson as the prophet and showed his face on the screen I had such an overwhelming witness from the spirit that he is truly called of God. I am so grateful for him and his guidance!! Also my mission president, President Craig got called to the quorum of the seventy. Pretty exciting! He has almost no break once he gets released as our mission president in July!!
Some of the things I loved about general conference was the theme to seek and follow the guidance of the spirit! As well as the need we have to constantly strive to become more like Christ. Sister Bingham said, "What a better way to prepare to meet Jesus Christ than to become like Him." I also loved the talk about love. I can't remember who gave it but he said, "Pure love is the true sign of every disciple of Jesus Christ."
I am so excited to be able to go back and reread/learn more from the talks that we were given. What an amazing opportunity we have to receive revelation for our day!! As well as personal revelation!
I hope you all have an amazing week!!
