Jewish Carnival

My week was good, it went by really slow, . 
Transfers were this week, it doesn't feel like it but they were just on Tuesday. We didn't meet the new missionaries in our district until district council which wasn't until Friday since Elder Newman didn't get here till Thursday. District council was cool, seeing Elder Newman (in his first few days in the field) it reminded me of my first district council. It was cool to see how much has changed in the last 6 weeks, I remember sitting there and just taking it all in and not having anything to say or add because it is all still so knew to me. But now it's completely different and really cool to see the difference. 
I don't remember a lot of what we did this week, but we had a few great lessons with Brandy this week! We read some of the Book of Mormon with him and I love hearing what he gets out of it. We also had lesson about priesthood yesterday and that was really cool, he prayed at the end and asked to have more time to read the Book of Mormon and to understand it and know it's true! I love hearing the prayers of the people we're teaching and talking to, they are so good and make me so happy.
We also went to a Jewish Carnival, our friend invited us and it was just a small crowd at Truman but it was fun to meet some people, they were all really nice. They were celebrating Esther so that was cool, and they were just really nice and really friendly.
That was my week, love you!

Nauvoo Temple

  Hi mom! First off you can take as much time as you want cuz I love you. Yes we did get snow and its not supposed to stop for a while. This whole week the high is 1⁰ if we're lucky, so we're gonna try our best to stay out of the cold. We don't want to fully avoid the outside world cuz that makes everything harder, but it's gonna be so cold. Yesterday was 1⁰ and snowing but it felt like -8⁰ so that was not fun at all. But other than the weather, it's been a good week.  We had combined district council with our zone on Wednesday so I got to go to Nauvoo! The temple is very pretty and I got to meet my zone in person so that was cool. We had exchanges on Thursday and that was so fun! My STL's are so cute! I learned a lot, right now we're trying to shorten member lessons, instead of doing full lessons with them we do SPF's which are short powerful and frequent and by short I mean like 5-7 minutes. And that is very hard to do when the members are

In person Zone Conference

Image
This week was so fun! We had our first in person Zone Conference in over a year. It was so fun, especially because we went up the night before and stayed with the Iowa City 2 sisters, otherwise known as Sister Sillito and Sister Albert! It was so fun to see Sister Sillito again.  We also had exchanges this week, I was with Sister Bliss here in Kirksville and it was so fun! I love our STL's! We met S this week, we went by looking for Kris, she moved, but S and S just moved in and he has all of these questions and was just waiting for us. We also met Chris in a similar way, it has been so cool to meet people and be able to see God's hand in their lives and in mine, there were so many factors that led to us finding these people. God really does care about all of us, and he is guiding our lives to exactly where we need to be. Anyway that was my week, how are all of you?  Here are some pics from all our trips this week!

Week 3

Image
How was everyone's New Year's? mine was pretty quiet as far as celebrating goes, I had one class which was great and then I helped my mom around the house a little bit. I studied and was in bed around 10:30 because I was tired. But my week was great, Sister Chatelain and I are both getting comfortable teaching together and applying all of the skills we learn each day. It seems like every time we have a bad lesson or notice something we struggled with it comes up in our next class. So that is great that we see what we need to work on and then we are taught how to improve on it. I am so grateful for my companion and how well we are able to work together and get along. It has been so much fun getting to know her and just talking about the most random things in Comp. Study.  I watched some really good devotionals this week in my free time and my favorite was an MTC discussion with Jeffery R. Holland and M. Russell Ballard. It was great to see their love for each other
