Mission A-Conferenced! April 4 2016
Not much happened this week, the highlight was definitely General
Conference. I wish I had my notes with me right now so I could talk
more about it but I know that my favorite talk was President Uchdorf's
it was AMAZING. Just what I needed. I feel like every message and
training I have gotten since being a missionary has been about
obedience and it has really annoyed me to be honest. But the way he
said it helped it make more sense to me and help me realize that I
need to be more humble. A LOT MORE and submit to the will of Heavenly
Father. I have been getting the same message for weeks and now it has
finally made sense/stuck with me. Conference on the mission is the
best. Every talk is applicable to some part of either your life or the
life of your investigators. Ahhh I loved it. For those of you who are
wondering YES Bunch watched conferred on his phone. His favorite talk
was by Elder Andersen!! Which is awesome because Sister Smith and I
and some other missionaries and people thought of him during that
talk!!!! I'm so glad he watched it. He said that he felt a lot of
comfort and questions answered from Conference which is amazing!! I
love the Gospel, I love the peace that it can bring to people's lives.
We still text Bunch all the time and give him things to read or watch.
This morning he texted us and asked if he was allowed to put that he
was Mormon on his ACT paperwork. And then he told us he did it
anyways, And it MADE MY DAY. He's awesome. Still no progress with his
parents. But he is prime.
Not much else happened this week, just a lot of looking for people to teach
I did have a brief but intense interaction with a cat that led to a
slight overdose on benedryl which then led to us getting permission to
go to bed a half hour early on account of it being physically
impossible for me to keep my eyes open
The next morning I woke up and had a slight cold and all we had was
DayQuil, so I took some of that but I must have taken too much because
I felt weirdly dizzy and jittery for about 4 hours and sister smith
was freaking out because she kept overdosing me.
Im fine now
ALSO
As everyone knows, dogs love me, but I found out this week that not
only am I allergic to cats, but also chihuahuas? Hopefully the list
stops here. I will keep you posted
Sister Smith and I have been cleaning all day and our apartment looks
great now and we decided to spruce it up with some plants. In my life
time I have only been able to keep a plant alive for a couple of
months, BUT THE MISSION CHANGES YOU so we will see how this goes
