April General Conference!!!



Holy Cow! I am so excited about life I just don't know where to start!

CONFERENCE! was AMAZING!! The Saturday sessions really called me to repentance... but it's all good because the Sunday sessions 'put air under my wings' haha. 
When conference started and they were showing all of the apostles I felt this over powering feeling that those men are called of God. I know that they are human and they make mistakes but Heavenly Father is working through them "to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man"- Moses 1:39. I love President Monson and I sustain him as Heavenly Father's chosen prophet on the earth today. 
A general theme that i received from this past weekend can be summed up in one quote by Garby B Sabin... "Stand up on the inside"

TESTIFY! Llast night we tried this potential investigator, Chad. He is not ready to receive the restored gospel yet but through me the spirit was able to testify to him the reality of Christ and his love. It was a really powerful experience for me. Going from teaching all the time to rarely teaching has really opened my eyes to what I truly love and helped remind me why I love being a missionary.

ZEROS! I know numbers don't show how your area is really doing... but since being here we have only taught like 2 lessons to the same investigator and that's about it.. which has been really hard. We did have one investigator, Eric, but during this last conference Sister Hubbard and I both felt that we needed to let the Elders teach him. So here we are.. at the "bottom" but I am totally okay with that because that's how the best miracle stories start :)

CRAZY WEEK TO COME! life it good here in Glen Carbon! this week is going to be crazy!! we have interviews with our mission president tomorrow and we are also handing out more flyers at a college then Wednesday we are getting prepared for our church tour which is this Saturday!  On Thursday we have exchanges with the Shiloh sisters and we will be handing out MORE flyers at a different college and then Friday we have a meeting in St. Louis for all the leaders of the mission (MLC)! I hope i live hahahaha. jk i am actually SUPER pumped!
BOM TIME!
2 Nephi 9:39
"O, my beloved brethren, remember the awfulness in transgressing against that Holy God, and also the awfulness of yielding to the enticings of that cunning one. Remember, to be carnally-minded is death, and to be Spiritually-Minded Is Life Eternal."
