Sister Sea-Warrior holds an Iguana

Hey Everyone! So this past week was a little rough, I got super sick! Things were a little bit slow movin', I hated feeling lazy but I needed to take care of myself so I could better help others. It was definitely NOT fun! But I feel SO much better thanks to lots of prayer, sleep, and this horribly beautiful invention called a Netti Pot. For those of you who don't know what a Netti Pot is.........its this thing where you pretty much squirt purified water mixed with a saline solution up your nose and it goes up one side and out the other with everything in-between...........SUPER GROSS! But I feel a million times better now thanks to that!

So besides being sick this week was pretty solid. We went on exchanges with the Sister Training Leaders on Thursday and that was super good. We had to drop Daniel because of some red flags that we've been noticing that wasn't safe for us to teach him anymore so that was realllyyyyyy not fun. I had to do that while we were on exchanges so that was super hard without my comp. But it really is for the best for all of us.

But on Saturday we did some service for a family where we helped them rip up some tile and that felt SUPER good to get my hands dirty! But while we were there they kept calling their 1 yr old baby 'Sea Warrior' so we finally had to ask why. I guess his middle name is Morgan and in some odd language 'Morgan' means 'Sea-Warrior'!!! So I probably should order a new name tag that says "Sister Sea-Warrior" on it so my name can be legit!!! hahahahahahahaha We have the BEST members!

On Monday we had dinner with our Bishops family and one of their sons just walked out into the kitchen with a baby IGUANA on his shirt!! It super freaked us out at first! But then they finally convinced us to hold and and I'm proud to say I even let it hang out on my shirt for a couple of minutes. It was super random but now I can check off "Hold an Iguana" from my bucket list!

This past Saturday we watched the Relief Society General Broadcast and that was SOOOO GOOD! It was such a spirit filled meeting and for those who didn't get a chance to watch it, go to lds.org RIGHT now and watch it! They talked a lot about keeping our covenants and one of my favorite quotes was, "We go to the temple to make covenants and we come back home to keep them". They also talked about our baptismal covenants and how important and easy it is for us to keep them everyday! Just by doing random acts of service we are keeping our baptismal covenants! But another part of keeping our baptismal covenants is standing as a witness of Christ "at all times, and in all things, and in all places". By doing that we can share the Gospel through our example with EVERYONE we meet!

I am probably more excited for General Conference this weekend than I am for Christmas!!!! It is going to be SOOOO GOOD! I KNOW that we have a Prophet on the Earth today and that he is the true mouth piece of God. I know that if all of you pray and have some questions in mind as you watch conference, that you will receive the inspiration and answers that you need! THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!

I love you all!!! xoxoxxoxoxoxxo
