Conference Weekend!!!

Hello family!


This week has been so full of miracles!! Where do I even begin?! First, I am so grateful to be a missionary. I love every second of serving the Lord full time. 


Monday evening we had our FHE lesson with the Russell family. We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their family. Kloe who is 7 years old is getting baptized on October 22nd! And we found out that is a day after her birthday!!!! Aka birthday buddies ☺️  I have learned so much from this family. I love them. 


Tuesday we had a huge miracle! We have been praying and praying and fasting and fasting to find people to teach in our area for weeks and we are teaching another active family the lessons, the Marbles. We went over to their house Tuesday evening for dinner and Julia Marble, who is a junior in high school, texted us and said she was goi to bring two of her friends home from cheer practice to introduce to us. She comes strolling in a little after we got there with FOUR friends! We had such a fun visit with them. Sister Baggett and I got a taste of how clueless we are about worldly things. Haha. I still can't believe you don't have to press and hold a snap to watch it. Lol. Afterwards we had a lesson with them about the Book of Mormon and they were so excited to start reading it! They were trying to make it to conference yesterday but things came up. We are seeing them all tomorrow though. 


On Wednesday we had district meeting! Sister Baggett gave such a good training on this talk called "The Tongue of Angels" by Elder Holland. I seriously recommend all of you to read it. It is so good! It was given in the April 2007 conference. The Spirit was so strong during her training and it inspired me to to pay more attention to the words I say to others but mostly the thoughts that I say to myself. 


All weekend we did so much service. It was so awesome and so many miracles. We cleaned some houses, helped with some piano lessons, did some painting and gardening. It was awesome!


Conference was so amazing as well. We went to our favorite families' houses to watch conference. We ate breakfast at the Russell's house yesterday morning and watched the morning session there and then went to the Marbles for the afternoon session! 


I have so many pictures from this week so I will end it off there because you all probably like the pictures better anyways :)


Love you all so much!! I hope you enjoyed conference weekend and received the inspiration, guidance, and answers that you needed. Check out lds.org to catch up on sessions you missed! :)


Also, shout out to Sister Draper who will be in the MIM on WEDNESDAY!!!! Everyone pray that she serves at the jail her first transfer!! :)
