Mommy!!!
So this week was super crazy because we had a ton of things going on,
plus Halloween, and then Saturday was just an all around awesome day to be a
missionary for me! :) To start off it was transfer call Sunday (yesterday) and I
got a call to get transferred out of the area that I am serving in right now. I
am thinking that I will either go to Maricopa, or I will go into Gilbert to be
with Elder May! :) That would be so amazing but I am trying not to get my hopes
up in case that does not happen! :D
But on Saturday and Sunday this past week we had stake conference and
this time it was a little bit different because on the Sunday session there was
a broadcast from Salt Lake with Elder Christofferson, President Uchtdorf, and
some other people. First the stake president talked to us and then the rest of
the time it was the broadcast for all of the stakes in the state of Arizona! :)
It was really cool. What I really got out of it is that they were telling people
that the tribulation that is going on right now in the world is not ending, but
it is getting worse, and the devil is making new ways to harm us as children of
God. It was a little bit scary to think about, but I am so glad that even though
we hear that stuff we can know that Heavenly Father will ALWAYS be there for
us!
On Friday since it was Halloween we had to be inside by 6pm because
they didn't want us out with a bunch of trick or treaters, and it would be a
little bit dangerous for missionaries to be out I guess! So we went inside and
played some board games and stuff! :) Right when we got in the house we got out
some silly string that one of our members gave to us and sprayed down the other
two elders that live with us! It was so funny to see their reactions! :) Then we
played the game "The Settlers of Zarahemla" It was super fun and it ended up
just being me and one of the other Elders, Elder Johnson that played with me.
The others were being party poopers! :) haha But that is fine haha!!!
Anyways I will cut to the chase of what happened on Saturday! It was
amazing because 2 days before on Thursday I found out that Ian and Stafnie
(people that I taught over in Temple) were getting baptized at 10:00am in the
morning on Saturday! But then we had tickets to go up to the Phoenix Temple Open
House with some members and that family that we have been teaching, and it is a
1 hour trip up there, and our tickets were for 11:30am. So we went to the
baptism, left before they even got baptized, drove all they way back here to
Mesa to meet up with our members, and headed up to the Temple. It was so amazing
to be able to go up there and especially to be able to go up there with some
investigators! :) They loved it!!! Then the members took all of us out to eat at
Olive Garden which was super good because I had never ever been there before! :)
It was an awesome week and I wish that I could go into it a little bit more. But
don't worry I also wrote it in my journal!!! :)
Love you tons!!!
