Then on Thursday night some of our stressors (aka the elders) decided it would be funny to pull a prank on the sweet sisters. Elder Pena and Elder Hardy offered us some candy. It looked like nerds so we went to try them. I was just going to suck on them but my companion choose otherwise and took a big bite. She in pain asked what it was! Laughing Elder Pena said it was a pepper of some kind. Seeing the pain my companion was in I quickly threw it out of my mouth I spent the next 5-10 min laughing at her with the Elders. So glad I didn't bite! Once home she drank more than half the milk. Later the Elders brought her a get well balloon and some we're sorry candy. Overall it was a funny and interesting night! That is the story of how my companion died twice this week. We learned two lessens this week one that stress is bad and two don't trust the zone leaders with anything!
Other than my companion dying most of the week was spent trying to find people to talk to. As well we had many conferences! The first conference was Friday as a mega zone which was a ton of fun because I got to see many people I know! Main one my trainer, Hermana Williams, then Hermana Spencer, and some other mission friends I have made. As well you get to see president and sister Reynolds which is always fun! The conference was amazing I learned so much that I need to be better and can't wait to see he miracles that come from it. Then Saturday and Sunday we watched all of conference which was amazing. This time we really tried to prepare ourselves to get revelation for ourselves and our investigators. My goodness the gates of heaven were open upon us. The whole conferences we just felt like we were becoming so much better. I hope I can do a better job of applying the principles I learned into my life.
It was interesting to me as I watching conference I was looking for some of the common themes. The biggest one that stood out to me was the theme of joy. How as children of God we can feel the greatest Joy in the world as we come to know our Savior Jesus Christ. They taught many ways we can come to know our Savior. The three biggest ways that were said and mentioned multiple times is Sabbath day observance, repentance, and prayer. Over the past couple of weeks I have started to learn them all. I have started to see prayer as a true communication with God using all three parts of the Godhead to express my gratitude and desire for help. I felt more closer to my Savior as I have done that. The process of repentance is a great gift from God to help us be able to return to him some day and be able to stand blameless before him. Then to help each week have a fresh start and feel ready to battle another week we can go to church to partake of the sacrament and feel clean. I am grateful for my Savior and I love him and my God more than anyone else in the world. I know he died for me and he died for you! Come and partake of the fruit and never forget him!
Next week I will be going to the temple! So that means I will be emailing on Tuesday and may not have much time to email so if you don't hear much next week still know I love y'all and miss y'all! Have a great week!
