Week 8 - WE HEARD THE WORDS OF THE LORD

We weren't able to chat a lot with Camri as she emailed earlier in the day and caught us off guard.
She seems to be really happy. she is doing great. It's weird to think that she is already worried about receiving a call for her first transfer. She is praying that she gets to stay in Moses Lake with Sister Wadman. i think Sister Wadman is praying for the same thing so she can keep sharing clothes with Camri. Anyway, thanks for your support
                                                                                                                      

Hey Fam!
First of all, GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS LIT! (Lit with the spirit of course)
The Apostles TOTALLY THREW DOWN! Completely crushed it.  Its crazy how so many of my prayers and questions were answered directly in many of the talks.  But I also came away from conference with a bunch more questions to study.  It was amazing.
Sooo conference was obviously the highlight of this week but I'll give ya some other stories too...
Right now we're teaching a woman named Lorena.  Lorena didn't believe in a God and then in a lesson she broke down crying and said "I know now that there is a God".  i wasn't there for that lesson but I was there for the last one.  We saw her on Friday I think it was.  And she cried to us about her life.  She said she lives such a happy life but on the inside she feels a chunk missing, she just doesn't know what it is.  I was like, I KNOW WHAT IT IS! Lol but I didn't say that.  It was just crazy to me that we appeared in her life at this time when she feels like shes missing something.  The Lord truly does prepare people.

Exchanges with the STL's (Sister Training Leaders) were on Thursday.  I went to Royal City with Hermana Lindsay.  The first half of the day we did service for this hispanic lady.  We helped her clean her house cause she's moving.  But it was hard because no one spoke english... haha good times.   Just imagine me sitting in a room with 8 people and they all speak spanish as I sit there and smile while nodding my head, acting like I know whats going on.  It was super hard and frustrating.  But it motivated me to learn spanish so Elder Turley gave me a spanish book to study from hahah.  Who knows, maybe I'll be an Hermana soon ;)
We're also teaching this woman named Taylor.  But everytime we go over, her kids are crawling all over us and its hard to teach a lesson.  Her daughter, Kinsley, is 2 years old and is freaking adorable.  She likes to wear my nametag when I go over and her mom says she has never seen her open up to someone so much :') We're homies for sure.  Taylor wants to be baptized.  But she needs to know if its true first, which means she needs to pray.  But she hasn't prayed about it yet... so we're helping her along the path.  Shes great though.
OH! And Shayna.  We just met a young mom named Shayna.  She doesn't know much about God and hardly anything about Jesus Christ.  Can you imagine going through life not knowing your savior? I can't even imagine.  BUT! How awesome is it that I get to be God's tool and tell her about her Savior Jesus Christ for the first time? Such a huge privilege.  Sharing the love we feel from Heavenly Father is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
Being a missionary is great.  God is great.  CONFERENCE MADE MY LIFE.  THE CHURCH IS TRUE.  Keep on keepin on.  I love all of you oh so much :)
