the one where Sister Wabkier hits up MLC and is a REAL STL

 1- you might be thinking "two emails in one week" wow who is she 

and 2- what is MLC well let me explain both for you!!! 

HAPPY END OF PDAY!!! 

I know you already heard enough from me today BUT there is more haha last week was too awesome not to send you a email and this week was also AMAZING!! seriously the lord has provided ya know!!!! 

anyways this last week started with MLC!!!! which is mission leadership council!! so all the Zone leaders and Sister Trianing Leaders and the Mission president his wife and the Assistants to president all come together to decide what our mission needs and how we can help the work and the missionaries and it was seriously SO GOOD!!! it felt like an actual family council and president mcmullin was SOOO good at making sure EVERYONE was heard and EVERYONE was equal!! it was AMAZING!!! we set some good mission goals and standards like talking and discussing Jesus Christ and the Atonement in EVERY meeting we have!! and becoming good examples as leaders in this mission and to honestly find a balance of high love and high expectations!!! I LOVED EVERY SECOND!! the verse in 1 john 4:7-9 and Ether 12:36 came to mind the whole time!!! once MLC finished we found out we had some sisters in distress so we came home and picked them up!!!! 

they had a really bad apartment!!!!!!! and they finally got them out of there!! but we wanted to give them a good break so we had them quad up with us for the night!! thinking it was just the night OH BOY WERE WE WRONG!!! buckle up folks this one a fun one!! 

so Thursday night right we are expecting to get them into there own apartment Friday morning !! so we have a CUTE little sleep over!! full of deep conversations and boy talk and WAY too tired of sisters so TOO much funny buisness was going on lol but we had LITERALLY THE BEST AND LASTEST NIGHT EVER!! we were up tell 2 TWO IN THE MORNING !!!!!!! our 6:30 am alarm came SO FAST haha but we were UP and at em bright and early !! got some stretches done!! one of the sisters fell back asleep in the butterfly pose hahahahaha then we packed them up !! ate some breakfast and got ready to move them out!!! we called the elders to help us and GUESS WHAT we can only get help for 30 minutes from one set and then 30 minutes from the other lol so we had them moving all the heavy stuff and then some sisters cleaning and then more packing and some in the trailer too where all their things were going and we got all the stuff down and ready and then our housing senior missionary went to the office and found out that they weren't gonna be able to get their key tell Saturday at 10 am!! 

FEAR!!! FEAR IS NOW OVER ALL OF US!!!! because one the elders have a baptims and the other elders have an interview the next morning so we are going to have to move everything alone!!!! and ON TOP OF IT ALL the sisters just packed their life away in the trailer and so they have no clothes and the senior missionary when asked by the sisters where they should go said idk that's not my problem 

so I chimed in and said we can take them another night and he said idk if that's possible and I was like IM THE STL BRUH THIS IS MY ONE JOB haha my one responsibility IS TO MY SISTERS!!! so we got them ANOTHER NIGHT HAHA so we decided to quad up and go around as 4 missionaries for our lessons and stop bys and we saw some COOL miracles!! the most amazing one was definetly getting to eat with my aunt and uncle on Friday night and seeing them all together again!!!!!!! Having this dinner was more then just a plain Jane tender mercy this one meant SO MUCH to me and sister koger my BESTIE!! literally God was SOOOO present in the details today!!! 

anyways THE BEST PART OF THE WEEK!! one trailer and 8 sisters was unpacked the next morning in 20 minutes all by ourselves!!!!!!!! no help from no one!!! PURE sister power!!!! we had seriously so much fun!!!!! then as one sister does you finish moving everything up in 102° weather and then attend a baptism :))) hahaha we finished unloading and immediately turned around and all got dolled up !! Sister webb was playing the piano per usual and elder Smith thought it would be funny to ask me to lead the music SOOOOOO we had a repeat of last week hahahaha we are the baptism queens!! you can count on us anytime!!!! at esabellas baptism I also got get a sweet blanket and SHE WAS PUMPED to have a blanket to remind her of jesusso I got some cutie pics to share with you haha 

OH P.S. SISTER RADFORD IS HEADED HOME !!!! my mom is done with her mission !!!!!!!! LIKE WHAT!!!! I am SO THANKFUL i got to see her one more time and remind her how thankful I am for her !! 

OKAY OKAY OKAY SUNDAY !!!!! y'all Sunday was WILD!! literally we went to our ward !!!! we had Hayley our friend there !!!! and then we went to primary and sang called to serve with the primary and I almost cried haha THEN we went to the Spanish ward because elder wettstein gave his final testimony and talk so we went and while walking in some of there investigators came and obviously I told them to sit with us and OH MAN I didn't know what I was getting myself into we sang and spoke in Spanish!! and had to explain the sacrament to them THE GIFT OF TONGUES IS SOOOOO REAL!!!!!! we literally whipped out all we knew hahahaha then we had to leave and go to our final ward where Daniel was haha so we literally were on the missionary grind MORE THEN EVER BEFORE HAHA in two languages and three wards hahaha 

Monday rolled around AND LET ME TELL U!!!!! monday was a non stop party !!!! we woke up and worked out and then had a funeral to plan!! sooo when missionaries finish their mission we say they are dying and so we hold a funeral for them their last district council of their mission!!! and let me tell you this was A TOP 10 MOMENT OF MY MISSION type beat!! we had tables with black cloth and flowers and balloons and sad hymns playing and a podium and a program haha SO THE FUNERAL GOES AS SO lol 

I welcome everyone while the elders were in the hall we sit with out programs with all their random pictures and name and death date on it!! then we played the sad music and we welcomed each in by name and they walked in with flowers and then laid on the table and then I said some I'm so sorry for your loss words haha and then I invited old companions and the twins to come individually to say some finals words for each haha and they were SO FUNNY and perfect!! and then we moved onto hearing there final testimonies!!! and each one went up and said the SWEETEST things!! especially elders Smith and elder watt!!! they are some AMAZING missionaries!! what they said resonated with my heart so much!!! then we said a final thank you and we love you!! gave them some pictures and gave them some gifts!! and had a lunch together and seriously the love and support and unity in the room was unmatched !!!! it was so amazing!!! this funeral was so amazing I think 1 because it was a quad funeral lol and when does that ever happen lol never and 2 it was the perfect balance of funny and spiritually uplifting and motivating!!! the happiness was unmatched!!!
