I've realized that while being in Utah, lotion and chap stick have become my new bffs....holy canoliiiii its cray ova heaaaa!!! So its been snowing randomly on some days in MARCH! like say whaaaat?! i was not expecting that! i learned its sometimes called "snail" a mixture of snow and hail and you would think that snow would be nice and soft like olaf from frozen but ohhh heeeermp it hurts sometimes when its comin at chu!
Apparently in utah its common for like errrrryone to own dogs! it just gets kinda difficult when im carrying my snacks in my bag and sometimes they come at me! even the small ones come at you too! SMH!!!!
this past wednesday, my comp and i taught a mutual about missionary work and guess who showed up to talk too..... MY MISSION PRESIDENT! talk about INTIMIDATING!!! but it was good tho! i was heckaaaa nervous but survived...ive realized that bc i havent been out that long, that i have chokeeeeee weaknesses!! its a struggle every day.... but one of my favorite scriptures in the Book of Mormon Ether 12:27..definitely helps me to get thru my day! really love that verse!!
its been a busy week tho fo sho.... this past friday we had a mission conference and it was soo good to see my old MTC companions! freakin crackin me upp the whole time!! i missed them so much!!! it was cool to see everyone in the whole mission! idk if thatll ever happen again... but it was really cool, we had a speaker who climbed mount everest and got us pumped and motivated! one of his quotes that i like was, "ascending is mandatory, going down is optional" and i was like STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HEAAAA! haha jk but i really liked it!
Saturday i WEEDED FOR 3 HRS! im kinda sore actually...it was so good tho to do some service! brought out mah roots if ya know what i mean...;) literally.... hahahaa
this past sunday was the 5th sunday and remember, my comp and i are over 7 wards so ya know, we taught at 3! it was a busy sunday! pretty intense to teach combined relief society and priesthood in 2 wards and then we had to split for a ward and i taught the youth and she taught the adults...but WOW! i was so nervous!!! and we also went to ward council for a different ward..sundays are defff our busiest days... not the day of rest... hahah in one of them we were role playing missionary work and i was pretending to be the investigator and made a reference to the miami heat...lets just say, its pretty cold up hea.... no heat fans in utah... it got awkward.... lol
but ooo so yesterday we ate at an investigator's home and he made beef ribs! i was like HOLLAAA! i was soo excited! they know im from texas so ya know i had to rep my home right... i ATE 3 OF THEM! he just kept putting them on my plate and i couldnt be rude and say no, ya know??? didnt want to offend my investigator.. ha so im glad im on bike... lol
but one thing that really stood out to me this week was that "obedience brings blessings, exact obedience brings miracles." lets just say the struggle is real but i need all the miracles i can get!! haha but hope all is well! update me tooo por favor! miss and love you all so much!!!
