I am so pumped to be in this area for a plethora of reasons!!!
1st, when my uncle served in this mission he lived in this area!! So there are great expectations!!!
2nd, I am really distantly related to people in this area!!
3rd, IT IS THE FURTHEST NORTH THAT SISTERS GO!!! AND I'M HERE FOR THE WINTER!!!!!!!
4th, it seems pretty great in general!!!!
This week started with transfers, and my receiving 2 new companions!!! Sister Beauchat and Sister Moon!! This is Sister Moon's first transfer in the field, so Sister Beauchat and I are trying to show her the ropes and not scare her off too quickly!! Haha!!! Also, Sister Moon is the Neice if a member in my ward back home, Suzanne Moon!!! And her grandpa baptized Sister Brock's mom!!!!! Crazy stuff!!!
We haven't uncovered any connections with Sister Beauchat yet, but I am sure we will find some!!!
After transfers, before heading back to our areas we had a Specialized Sisters Training, or in other words a sisters sleep over in the city!!! A lot of Elder's were really confused on the point of this training, because "why are the sisters getting extra training, especially when the Elders are the ones who need it?"
This training was actually 50% party, 50% prep for life as a wife and mother!!!
The party half was Thursday night, we watched BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!!!!!
I CRIED!!! I LOVE Beauty and The Beast!!!!!!!
The more spiritual part occurred the next morning! We had multiple trainings on things such as using Preach my Gospel to raise our future families!!! A lot of it was things that president would like to express to us as we are departing from the field, but he can't then because there are Elder's there!!! Haha!!!
The greatest thing of this week was definitely General Conference!!!! The only thing greater than hearing from the prophets and apostles of God would be if God our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ our Savior, and the Holy Ghost were all there physically!!! For me a good portion of everything said was concerning the blessing that Christ's gospel is in our lives, and we must do EVERYTHING in our ability to teach our friends, families, and others about the good things of Christ (which is everything)!!!!
The greatest blessing in anyone and everyones lives is the gospel of Jesus Christ!!! The gospel is the basis of everything we do in this life, and if will do more than help us return to heaven. It brings peace, comfort, joy, happiness, and so much more as we travel to our eternal destination!! The gospel of Christ give's us the ability to spend eternity in a place greater than anything we could ever imagine!! What would be life without the great joy of the gospel?
️WITH EVERY STEP THE WORK IS PROGRESSING!!! HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE!!! ️
