| Sister Monroy's baby shower |
There's the family in the ward that we're working with a lot, they're so sweet and they come out teaching with us and they're just awesome. Hermana Monroy had a baby shower this week and asked us to help set up for service. The day before the elders said that they were probably going to stop by and we had to explain to them that baby showers are mostly just for women, it was pretty funny! And while we were there we started talking to her friend, and she came to church on Sunday and then invited us to come teach her on Tuesday!

Friday
was Zone Conference with Elder Echo Hawk from the 70 (Part of the
leadership of the church under apostles). I LOVED everything he said.
His wife was so sweet and before the meeting had all the sisters meet up
and individually met all of us. And I was so surprised by how many
missionaries I knew there! This was my first zone conference in "the
South" so I didn't think I would. But I got to see Sister Jeppeson again
(My cousin is going home this transfer!) and lots of other mission
friends. Elder Echo Hawk focused a lot on having faith and expecting
miracles. He explained a lot about failure and success as well.
"Everytime you open your mouth you're a success". This applies to
everyone, just having the courage to tell someone about the gospel, even
if they don't accept, shows God that you're willing to spread His
kingdom.

| My 'cousin' Sister Jeppeson at Zone Conference |
On Saturday I woke up sick and didn't
think I was going to be able to work. But the elders came and gave me a
blessing, and after I felt so much better! We still got out on time to
teach people and we really felt the Spirit during all of our lessons. I
just wanted to say thank you to all the Priesthood holders, the power of
God is so real and helps us so much to accomplish what He wants us to
do.

| Playing Frisbee with our district |
Sunday was the primary program, and since
the ward and branch have a combined primary, we combined sacrament
meeting- and I translated!! I got to wear the little headset and
translate all the kids saying "Jesus loves me". The hard part was when
they quoted scriptures and I didn't have enough time to look them up.
Definitely realized I have a long way to go in spanish, but that I've
improved a lot. They sang this song about choosing Christ again that
was really cute. We all chose Christ before coming here, and now we just
have to have our actions here reflect how we choose Him again.
Love you all!
