Hey hey! This week was awesome. I have been super obsessed with miracles and tender mercies. So last week I got a new journal specifically for all the miracles and the tender mercies, pretty much all of the times I see the Lord's hand in my life, which is a lot. So it's been fun to reflect on the last 8 months and remember all of the amazing things that have happened. One highlight from this week was our stake women's conference. There was a guest speaker who came, her name is Diana Holsher. She was AMAZING. She talked about the Plan of Salvation and she went through each step in the plan and she was just so clear and was able to explain it so well! We brought our investigators with baptismal dates and they LOVED IT! She focused specifically on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. One of the things that she said that really stood out to me was that she said, imagine there was a water shortage and you were only allowed to take 1 15 minute shower a week. Would you miss it, would you miss being clean? Can you imagine anyone passing up their 15 minutes and just pretending to shower? Getting in the shower pretending to scrub the soap all over but never turning on the water? No, that is ridiculous! Most of us don't even really know what it's like to not be able to shower. And then she said, the sacrament is our 15 minute shower. We get 1 day a week that we can wash our spirits. Are we pretending, or our we wasting our 15 minutes in sacrament meeting? It was a strong visual that really changed the way I view the sacrament.The soap is repentance and the water is Jesus Christ. It was really funny, sister Gadd ended up coming to the conference and she texted me before and said she would give me 5 rolos if I matched her. So I gave in. It's not as bad now that we are not companions. She always wanted to match when we were together but c'mon that would be super weird and kinda creepy. Also, she never gave me any rolos. So basically I did that all for nothing! LOL jk
Another highlight from the week was that the shaved ice truck down the street opened up!! And because one of the stake presidency members owns it he always gives the missionaries free shaved ice! It's so good. We get 1 free cup per day. It's so good, but let's be real it's so bad haha! THIS IS WHY THEY PUT ME ON A BIKE!
I am having a hard time remembering what I even did this week haha. Sister Zamora has been sick. She might have a sinus infection, so that's fun. But for the most part we have been trying to spend a lot of time with the members. 1. they are great and it's fun, 2. our focus as a zone has been working with members and helping them with member missionary work. So that actually has been really fun.
