Week something: mission birthday

October 25, 2021

Hehe baptisms and birthdays :)

Update for this week:

Sister Beckstead flew to Brazil, her OG assignment. So now we no longer have trio life :( so sad, too bad. But she graced us with a funny quote on her way out XD

PETER GOT BAPTIZED IM SO HAPPY!!!!! I got to be a witness and I also spoke about the Holy Ghost :)) it was awesome!!!!

Also yesterday was my birthday and we had the most AMAZING Stake conference EVER and the theme was MISSIONARY WORK / love, share, and invite! It was super cool because the mission President and his wife came and spoke too!!! It was amazing :))

There was a children's choir and they sang such a beautiful song and then right as they ended the power went off and it was like pitch black and everyone laughed, it was so funny then they came back on a few seconds later haha.

There was also a young man speaking and he gave such an AMAZING talk, and he talked about how missionary work can be just listening to a friend and helping them feel loved. He also talked about his brother serving a mission and how hard it has been for him, especially through COVID, but how he's just kept going and been such a good example. It was SO GOOD and he brought the Spirit so strongly. He was crying a little bit and he interrupted his own talk for a second to say "Is my mascara running? I'm so sorry" and it was SO FUNNY and then he went back to being a spiritual giant, and it was just so good

Scripture of the week:

1 John 4:11

"Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another."

Funny Quotes:

• "Time to dwell on a bed" -Sister Misi

• "You're small enough you could fit in my suitcase" -Sister Beckstead

• "I would like to learn sign language, I think it would come in handy" -Barbara

Fun Fact:

I share a birthday with Sister Schnebly, who is my STL!!! (sister training leader, basically a leader of Sister missionaries in a certain area)
