oh my goodness gracious where do i even begin??? GENERAL CONFERENCE WAS OFF DA CHAIIIIIIN! but ill go in order...
the other pday we had we went to this senior couple's home and played in their backyard, we threw thomahawks? however you spell them and apparently im the "champ" #nbd..... it was a great way to relieve stress haha
being on the mission ive been asked some interesting questions, liiiiiiiike "if youre from texas why dont u have an accent?" were you disappointed to come to utah?" " do you have a boyfriend at home?" " are you 19 or 21 bc of the age change?" and the awkwardness goes on and on....just had to share... ha
it was a lil chilly this past week so i was able to use handwarmers for the first time! it was crazy!!! never used those before EVER! but they came in handy, but its warming up so hopefully i wont have to use them anytime soon...
on the mission i deffff miss having gps on the phone... bc im still kinda getting used to the area we just have maps! talk about #OLDSCHOOL! but at least we have em right???
we had a funny dinner experience the other night bc we never met this family before but we called in advance to confirm the dinner and she said we were having chicken enchiladas so i was like #winning! but while we were walking up the hill i was like uhh i think its this house?? then my comp was like nahh thats not the address itll be embarrassing if we went to the wrong house... so we went to this house with the address and she let us in and i was like "man it smells good in here!" (bc i was expecting enchiladas) but she was like uhh thanks?? and then she kept on complaining that the house was messy and there was no food on the table so we were like hmm..... and we were just sitting awkwardly with her on the couch and she asked us "so are u sisters just out contacting?" and THATS WHEN IT CLICKED! sis judd wrote on her planner "i think we're in the wrong house!" so we ask her what her name was and it was NOT the name of the family we were supposed to have dinner with so we shared a quick message and left.. we were there 20 MINUTES before we realized we were at the wrong house... apparently dinner was at her neighbor's house! funny right? oh and the funny doesnt end... we go to dinner and their daughter says to me, "you have a pretty ring, is that from your husband?" and i was like oh no no no not yet (it was the ring mama and daddy got me for my 16th bday) but then my comp kept saying, " yah its from her husband" she kept going off about that... and i was like smh... ha
BUT WHAT DID YOU THINK OF GENERAL CONFERENCE????! all the talks were my favorite! i especially liked President Uchtdorf's talk about gratitude. it really stood out to me!! also, i LOVE how elder scott always talks about his wife! so adorbs! and of course gotta love elder ballard's talk about missionary work! WHAAAAAT! i was so proud of the fam when he talked about how its great when families share missionary experiences with full time missionaries bc i know thats what yall are already doing and i love it! makes me cry! ha and omg gotta love elder teh's talk! SHOUTOUT TO THE PHILIPPINES!! #HOMELAND haha #represent gotta love those Filipinos and their strong faith!!! we were able to watch general conference at the home we are staying at. i was soo bummed bc on the saturday morning sesh our zone leaders called us and said they had an extra ticket to go for that afternoon sesh but it was only 1 and we had to leave right then and there! but we didnt go bc it was only 1 and it was late notice..:(
after GC we were walking to dinner yesterday and this guy approached us asking if we were mormons, long story short he used to be FLDS( Fundamental lds) and he was asking about religion but idk how sincere he was... and then we went our separate ways and while we were walking away he said laughing, "you almost enlightened me." LIKE WHAT?????!!! what is that supposed to mean?? HE IS SO LUCKY we JUST had GC and Pres Monson talked about loving everyone bc i was bout to go back and give him a piece of my mind! like WHAT?! oh man HE WAS TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL! bc ooo that made me a lil upset...
but on a more happier note, we taught the Plan of Salvation to this less active family last night and holy cow it went greater than we expected! after we taught the lesson, the dad bore his testimony about the plan and how we can see our loved ones again to his daughter and he was about to cry bc apparently his bro in law passed away this past week and we didnt even know- we were just planning on teaching that lesson but then i was about to cry and it was just an amazing experience! i just love the work and seeing people apply it in their lives! we've been teaching a lot of children which i love bc they are just so awesome and the best!
buuuuut just wanna let you know that i love my Savior and i love you all and hope yall enjoyed conference!!! :)
