This week was crazy busy but tons of good things!!
Some highlights!!:
★ Had interviews with President and Sister Coleman this week! We chatted about Julio and got some solid advice so we're going to keep helping him and hopefully go to the temple the first weekend of November! 🫣
★ General Conference was of course amazing! We watched it with the ward on Sunday and then with some members on Saturday except for when the connection kept cutting out so we ended up missing a bit of Saturday morning which was tragic. 🥲
★ Had exchanges with Sister Mametieff which was super fun! I went to her area, which happens to be inside our area, so we pretty much just worked in both areas all day, found some English and Spanish people, so it was very productive!
A major highlight of the week was zone conference on Wednesday!! It was way different than any other, but it was super good and one of my favorites. Every zone conference I've ever been a part of has mostly consisted of trainings and it's pretty chill and calm, but this one was pretty much the complete opposite. They had us rotate through these tables that were just discussions on life advice, and then we drove up to Red Rock Canyon and split into different hikes. We had an hour to take time to split off and read our patriarchal blessings and identify the gifts we've been given, and it was honestly amazing. I'd encourage everyone to do the same and take the time to study your blessing, and if you don't have one yet, start preparing to get it!
One of my favorite talks from conference was President Oaks' all about The Family Proclamation. He said this one line that really resonated with me, which was "...parents remember, what those children really want for dinner is time with you." This is something my parents prioritized and it's something that I've become especially grateful for on my mission. You see all kinds of families and meet all kinds of people, and it's always a little bit sad when we have dinner with members and everyone's on their phones, the kids are eating in their rooms, the TV's on, etc. I have a super strong testimony of the importance of families and on making them a focus in our lives, and I've become more and more grateful for my family as I've been away from them and see how much of a blessing they are to me.
Make sure to keep studying the conference talks once they're published, they provide so much guidance and direction for our lives. Love y'all!!
