"It's Ana and Elsa!!!!"

10-11-16

Here is this week's round-up

1. We had our primary program! This year I was in charge of directing the music and one of the Elders in the ward played the piano. I love the primary kids so much! Plus primary songs are my favorite. They teach doctrine simply. We should all just teach from the primary song book! After the program the primary leaders gave us a ham sandwich, a bowl of mac and cheese, a gogurt, and a juice box...best thank you gift ever!

2. Hna Warren and I gave our training at Zone Conference. I was pretty nervous. I don't mind knocking on strangers' doors, but being in front of missionaries is scary :) Everything went really well. We taught about setting goals, making plans, and scheduling. We shared the story of the Brother of Jared and how he knew his goal: get light in his boats. He made plans: climb to the very tippy top of mount Shelem and form 16 clear stones (he didn't take the easy way out). Then he presented his plans (stones) to the Lord and He touched them one-by-one. That is when our will and the Lord's will align. That is when the powers of heaven will help up to achieve our goals!

3.We got our TIWI boxes. They regulate our driving. I will admit I have picked up some bad driving habits here in SoCal, but don't worry mom that has completely changed. Seriously the TIWI box is genius...I have only heard "check your speed" 3 times since we have gotten them hahahaa.

4. We were out knocking doors yesterday. I had my hair in a braid and I was wearing a blue shirt. My comp had her hair in two braids. Two little girls ran to the door and said, "It's Ana and Elsa!!!!" Then the littlest girl started singing "Let it Go". It was probably the cutest thing that has happened my entire mission. The funny thing is my companion actually looks like Ana...i definitely don't look like Elsa. Maybe I should dye my hair platinum blonde when I get home??? My comp also looks like Chelsea Clinton...just a side note.

5. All the sisters in our zone went and got frozen yogurt. One sister was not happy with her yogurt. We asked her what flavors she got: Pumpkin and chocolate mint. Gross. No wonder she didn't like it haha

Here is my fav quote for the week:

"We must see them ...through Heavenly Father's eyes. Only then can we sense the Savior's caring concern for them...This expanded perspective will open our hearts to the disappointments, fears, and heartaches or others"

   -Elder Renlund

Fav scripture

Alma 29:30  What is the worth of one soul?

I love you Mom! Thank you for all the birthday love. Love, love, love, love, love you!

We had a great week! Mostly we were preparing for conference and working with our investigators to come to conference. The good news is we had one investigator come! Wahoo:) She came for the Saturday morning session. She LOVES the Book of Mormon, and there was a great talk about Jose Smith and his important role in the Restoration that hopefully was able to touch our investigator's heart! We really wanted her to come to conference so that she could feel a confirmation from the Spirit ...you can put your money on apostles of the Lord! The rest of conference we watched in english. 

MY CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS

1. JOY: Men are that we might have JOY. Do not weary by the way. Take time to be holy. Take time to be grateful. Take time to be joyful!

2. REPENTANCE: Repentance is the plan of happiness! Repentance means to learn and improve. Daily repentance is the only way to have a strong, deep relationship with our Heavenly Father and Savior.

3. BE AMBITIOUS: Have courage! It is easy to have courage for Christ. Hna Warren (the other STL) and I have been asked to give a training on planning at our next zone conference, and we have decided to make that our theme. BE AMBITIOUS! We are called to serve, and whom the Lord calleth, He qualifies. So that means that is doesn't matter where we are: California, Provo, North Carolina, Switzerland, Peru, etc. we must/can bloom where we are planted. We can set high goals, make specific plans, and have the faith to see miracles.

I am excited for the month of October! The weather is 70 degrees right now. yesssssssss. And we get to go to the temple in the next couple weeks. yessssssssss. I just feel very blessed! 

I love you Mom! Have so much fun in North Carolina!
