Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing fantastic!
This week was another hard one!
It started really well! We had a weird one day trio with Elder Poulsen, which was the bomb.com! I love that guy! His companion is waiting for his visa, and he had to fly to L.A. to sign some papers. So Elder Poulsen joined us for 24 hours! They had a dinner scheduled that night with the Davis's, so I got to see them again!!! They were so surprised!! I think Brother Davis almost had a heart attack!! It was so good to see them again!
Tuesday we had zone conference. It was really good! Lots of good discussions with the Stake President who was there. We had an interpreter there for Elder Pauley, but Elder Pauley wanted to me interpret for some of it! So I pretty much freaked out and started shaking and sweating profusely! Then I sat in the seat in front of Elder Pauley, which was right in the front next to President, and EVERYONE turned to look at me! It's fine... I only freaked out a little... But it went pretty well!
Wednesday we had a lesson with an investigator, Ken. He is a super nice guy from Ghana! It's a little hard to teach him because his education level isn't super high, but he is awesome and really enjoyed conference yesterday!
Thursday was pretty good. We just went out and worked, but didn't find anyone new to teach... Bummer, I know...
Friday Elder Pauley and I were sick! Mine wasn't as bad, but Elder Pauley's was pretty bad! We got some medicine from the store, and he pretty much slept all day. I just chilled and watched conference talks, read, and cleaned.
Saturday was really good! Conference was the best!! Elder Anderson's was my favorite from Saturday. So good!!
Sunday we great! We watched the first session at the Stake Center with basically the whole Spanish ward in this Stake! Then after that session, they had A TON of Hispanic food! It. Was. The. Best! After that, we watched the last session with a member family, the Filliatreault's, then had dinner with them.
Conference, again, was the best ever! Holland was amazing, once again. He's right, sometimes all we need to do is forgive and let go! President Ballard's was super good too!! Both of President Nelsen's were amazing! He was so straightforward! It was great! And 12 new temples!!! That's gonna be amazing! That's getting close to 200 total with all the ones announced already! The stone cut without hands is not slowing down, that's for sure!!
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week! Keep loving! Keep reading the words of our wonderful prophets! Keep trusting the Lord!
Love you all!
