C O N F E R E N C E

So first off... CONFERENCE WAS AMAZINNNNGGGGG. Like, really. I cannot believe how much revelation I received!! It was so weird watching it for the last time as a missionary. Freak, I'll probably be at the next one! Ahh! :)
Anyway, they were alllll so good. There were so many that helped me figure out how I can be a better missionary, a better companion, and an all out better person! It just brings me so much joy hearing these carefully selected speakers, speaking on inspired topics. The Lord knows exactly what we need collectively as His people, and he addresses us through His servants :) The best part of conference was when my old MISSION PRESIDENT WAS CALLED TO BE AN AREA SEVENTY!!!! No big deal. I mean, he's just like one of the most perfectly Christlike men I've ever met in my entire life, and that he changed me forever and now he's a General Authority for the church. Gahhh!! It was so funny because I had literally told my companion this morning, "President Pingree is unreal, I wouldn't be surprised if he was called to be a general authority today..." AND IT HAPPENED!! hahah We all freaked out when they announced it. Crazy times! Anyway, conference was sooo good, I am so grateful I had the opportunity to watch all four sessions and be spiritually filled :)

So, I'm sure a lot of you are wondering if I'm being transferred. Well.... I'M NOT! hahaha. I am staying one more with my hija, and will serve in the good ol' Woodlands for 10 and a half months! hahaha. Some people would freak out, but I'm actually really happy. I LOVE this area. And, I love my companion. So, it's all good. So this means, that I will stay here for six more weeks, be transferred for another six weeks and then I'm being transferred to C A L I F O R N I A!!! ahhhhhh! I'm not ready yet! It's so weird. People are like already saying goodbye to me and I'm like, "uhhh, I'm still here!!" haha but it's true, transfers go soooo fast around here. It's crazy. I'm trying not to think about it because I love being a missionary and I literally want to be one forever. But its a little hard too not be reminded when my companion has 12 weeks in, and I have 12 weeks left. haha

Anyway, I'm all about now, not 12 weeks. I still have a lot of work to do here in this area, and I only have six weeks left to do it! We were supposed to have two baptisms this sunday, but they had to reschedule :( We were so sad, but it was actually a blessing in disguise, because now their parents want to come and it will be a great experience for them! We are super stoked!

Spring never came to Texas, it's almost full blown summer here. The Sun is up, humidity is rising, and the west nile mosquitos are out :) Yay! hahaha. I am so excited for all the adventures these next six weeks have ahead of me here! Have a wonderful week! I love you all soooo much and hope you had a great conference weekend and Happy Easter!

Les amo con todo mi corazoncito,

Coming home...

No, not to California, back to my first (baby) area :) This week, I had the opportunity to see F I V E people I worked with in Houston 10 take out their endowments!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It was probably, actually it was, the best freaking day of my life ever, ever, everrrrrrrrr! I can't even talk about it. Two of them are recent converts that hit their year mark, and the other three were less actives that I worked with for the six months I served there. To make the experience even more memorable, EIGHTY MEMBERS from the ward came to support them. 80!!!!! What the heck?!?! I was freaking out! I was literally crying the moment I walked into the temple and saw everyone because it really felt like I had come home. Seeing so many people that I love soooooo much was just overwhelming. The spirit was so strong and I had a confirming impression that, that was what coming home was going to be like. Coming home to our Heavenly Father, seeing everyone you love in all white, in the house of the Lord. It was the most precious night of my life and I would have come on my mission just for that one experience. The Lord is way too good to me.

This week was suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper crazy busy. We had service/ I had like a ton of leadership meetings. It was cray, but it's all for the work. We actually had a special Missionary Leadership Council with the church's missionary department. They taught us many new effective ways to make missionary work more efficient and meaningful. We are constantly trying to better our efforts so we can find more people to learn and grow through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We also got training on the new Easter initiative for the church. Because He Lives!! It is so powerful!! You have to check it out and share it with your friends!!

We have two baptisms this saturday and it's CONFERENCE!! Ahhhhhh! Women's conference on saturday was soo good! It was crazy to see my last session as a missionary. It's actually starting to freak me out. So, I'm just going to pretend like it's not happening :)

I might finally be leaving The Woodlands next week. Gahhhh, I have pretty mixed emotions about it. I am still training my companion, and I love it here so I don't knowwww. But whatever the Lord wants, I will do :)

Les amo con todo mi corazoncito,

p.s. If you have any longing questions of the heart and soul, read D&C 9:6-11, write out your questions, and then watch conference. The Lord will answer them :)
