ELMA PT 4!

 Hi friends! This week was so so good! Super busy but super awesome! I hope you all had an amazing weekend and loved conference! I would love to hear your thoughts from conference so please email me! 

HIGHLIGHTS:

• CONFERENCE: General conference was SO GOOD! I loved every single session! We watched every session with members and it was such a blast. They truly spoil us and I feel so blessed! Some of my favorite talks were Sister Runia's, Elder Palmer's, Elder Kearon's, Elder Uchtdorf's and President Nelson's. But EVERY talk was so so good! I learned so much this conference and I have so many things I want to work on to better my missionary work and I'm excited to see miracles in the next little while! 
• INTERVIEWS: This week we had interviews for both zones so on Thursday we spent the whole day at Centralia interviews and Friday we spent the whole day at Elma interviews! I had an amazing interview with President Mann. We talked about angels, we talked about how love causes grief and we talked about ways to become a better leader! I got so many good insights from him! I will miss him so much, I only have 2 more transfers with him before he leaves! 
• TAMI: Tami is continuing to progress so well! We weren't able to put her on date this week because of some things but we are going to hopefully put her on date tonight! She watched some of conference and loved it and just loves the gospel! We feel so so blessed to be teaching her right now! 
• EXCHANGES: This week I got to go on exchanges with Sister Potter! She came into the mission with me and she's from Layton! It was such a fun exchange! We were able to talk to so many people and had so many chances to testify! Plus her and I are just best friends! We learned a lot and I'm so blessed to know her! 
• TRANSFER NEWS: Transfers are tomorrow so we got transfer news this morning! I will be staying in Elma for a 4th transfer! I'll be with Sister Morgan again and we are training a new missionary! We are SO EXCITED! Definitely might have done a happy dance in the street yesterday when we got the call to train! It's going to be a blast! 

LOWLIGHTS:

• SO BUSY: This week was actually insane. We didn't get to work Thursday or Friday at all because of interviews and Saturday and Sunday were also jam packed! I love the work and I was so sad not to work. The little time we did get to work yesterday we worked so hard and it was so awesome! Being a missionary is the BEST! 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:

Conference this year was so amazing. All the talks were so good but one thing I especially loved was from Sister Runia's talk. She said "your worth is constant" and it ties perfectly to Elder Kearon's talk about being children of God! Your worth as a child of God will never change! Each of us are perfectly valued to our Father in Heaven and He loves us each so much! As we remember this fact, life will be so much better and we will be so much happier! 

I love you all but Jesus loves you more! Have a great week!
