This week is going to be short and sweet. It has been a really INTERESTING week, and one that I do NOT want to re-live. So, here is a review of all the happy things this week.
For starters, my companion is leaving and going up to Norwood and I am getting Sister Branch from Corning as my next companion. She is super sweet and a hard worker and has been out for 4 months. I am very excited to work with her. We will have a great time I am still a Sister Training Leader STL and I am going to work with 2 other sets of Sisters. We have been cleaning and getting ready for the big transition of moving apartments soon. Monday, we went to a cider mill and I had my first NY apple cider donuts. They are so good! Then we went to Target and it was great. I haven't been in a Target for 11 months and I just miss it so much.... funny how you can miss simple everyday things.

Sister Oiley came to Church for the first time in 3 months Woo! We have two families that want to go to the temple in December. Once they pay tithing for 3 months consecutively, they can go! Woo Woo!! They are the cutest families ever and one even gave up coffee and energy drinks to help with the worthiness issues and they are progressing so well. Families are forever!
One other recent convert family went to Palmyra and LOVED IT!
I also had an exchange with the Norwood Sisters and it was awesome. We worked so hard and we found up this awesome potential named Jodi. We found Jodi while trying to find a lost less active. We also went tracting and found the most golden guy ever named Josh. Josh looks likes Willie from Duck Dynasty. We knocked on his door, and he was super nice and liked the whole restoration story. He is Awesome! What is even cooler, I was impressed to go down that street for along time. We went around the corner, parked, knocked on one door and met Josh and then we had to go. Led by the Spirit? I think yes!!
Institute was the greatest thing ever. We learned deep doctrine. We also painted a chicken coop, and picked up a new investigator that is the sister of a recent convert. Yayy for non- member families!! Well, Those were the highlights.
I love this gospel and I know that Heavenly Father knows us and loves us and answers our prayers. But Satan is so real. He really is..... :(
In the Book of Mormon, which was written for us, it talks about how pride destroyed the Church and the Nephites Pride is all around us and also around us at Church. Let us all be kind to each other and make church the spiritual highlight of the week.
Heavenly Father is really awesome, I used to think that I came on a mission to help Him change the world.... when really He just wanted to change me :)
Love you all!
