the one where Sister Wankier is on X-games mode 😤

 HAPPY PDAY!!!!! 

an email 
WACK 
i know !!! 

I am so sorry it's been awhile haha I will send my mom the last two emails I missed soooo hit up the blog I guess haha but this week has been SO AWESOME like holy moly its been a GRIND !! 

so a week ago from today was PDAY!! and last pday we were so busy with such random things we accidently slept in- let me rephrase- I DEFINETLY slept in because i was SO TIRED haha but don't worry we got up and ready and ZOOMED to play disc golf!! and it was awesome !! and SO HOT !! 18 holes was a LONG TIME and it isn't as cool as golf because there was no cart coming around with food so I guess you can say I am a plain old golf fan lol!!  then we took some time to eat lunch with the sisters and call fam and while i called SUNSHINE CAME TO SEE MY FAM!!!!  talk about worlds colliding and then we showered and went to hang out with everyone at the church and were trying to relax and not freak out before our first zone conference with presdient and Sister mcmullin!! but it was kinda REALLY hard to do that haha. it felt like when you are waiting up for Santa to come on Christmas eve ya know !! like we were PUMPED so we were all talking and getting excited and then we decided what a better idea then to pack all the sisters in our apt. and have a SLEEP OVER and late night breakfast for dinner!!!!!! so we spent the night looking through my closet to find dresses and braiding hair and talking and it was a really tender experience to bond one with another !!!! 

THE BEST PART OF THE NIGHT THOUGH was when we ended the night in prayer together. we all knelt together and sister webb asked me to say the prayer!! and I got to express my most sincere prayer of gratitude and love for these sweet sisters I am over !! and it honestly just was a reminder to me that I love praying over, for, and with those I love !!! it is such a huge part of my testimony !! and getting to share that with them was SO TENDER !! then we all CRASHED don't ask what time haha BUT we all still got up bright and early at 6:30 and the fun began !! we had music and singing and getting ready together and it was SO TENDER !! then we all packed up and ZOOMED down to Klein Texas for zone conference !!! 

YOU GUYS !!! I LOVE MY MISSION PRESDIENTS !!! is it because sister mcmullin came over to me and said I'm wearing my cross because I want to be like you MAYBE haha but it was seriously SO GOOD !!! the spirit and guidance and direction was SO POWERFUL!!! we talked about our savior jesus christ and what his atonement can be and bring into our lives !! like how to find comfort, hope, and healing and how to be forgiven and how to forgive and how we are saved!! and recieve salvation !! it was so amazing!! we also heard messages from missionaries and then from the mission office missionaries and let me tell you elder burt is the GOAT his message was so awesome !!! he reminded us to "prepare to compete" he told us some stories and shared that when we prepare for the day we come to compete with the opposition in the world !! it was REALLY GOOD 

we ate lunch and while eating sister mcmullin came and gave me the camera AND I GOT TO BE THE PHOTOGRAPHER SO YAY I went and took a million pictures and talked to so many people and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN !!! we celebrated birthdays and I took more pictures and then I took the zone pictures and then I talked to president and sister mcmullin and what he said WAS SO NICE he said I have an act for picture taking haha he said it much more meaningful haha I just can't remember it lol but then we broke up into zones and began an awesome little exercise we planned at MLC and so we explained and expressed how to teach a lesson in only 5 minutes instead of an hour and a half and how much more powerful they will be so sister webb did an example of how to do this and then the zone leaders gave examples of how to give effective and helpful feedback and then our zone went and did it AND IT WAS SO AWESOME the spirit was SO GOOD then we had the other two zones switch in with us and then we ended with the sweetest departing testimonies and my whole heart aches that these elders I look up to so much are headed home :(( but also SO THANKFUL FOR THEM 

then after zone conference we realized that our poor car was GONNA BLOW UP apparently our Nissan rogue has a bag engine haha so we started hearing some bad noises when we would hit the gas haha  so we called elder burt and he goes DANG IT not another one and I was like ANOTHER ONE and he was like ya we've had to have some engines replaced because they have BLOWN UP ON US so then obviously we said burt we need a new car we don't wanna be LITERALLY TOASTED IN THIS CAR haha so he helped us out and got us a new car haha so Friday we went and picked good ole HANNAH UP she's a Nissan rogue too but she's BLUE like what HOW FUN we love her !! 

Friday was also SISTER MORRELLS BIRTHDAY!!! give her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY YA KNOW sadly I couldn't be in College Station to celebrate her but we love her !! we also had Elder Fletchers birthday and mama garzas birthday as well !! we did in fact celebrate Elder Fletchers birthday even though he told us not to lol SORRY BRO stuck with a party girl ya know !!! but we had his mom reach out to a member she knows here and sent her some fun birthday tradition stuff and wanted us to help her plan it. well fun fact about elder Fletcher HE IS A CODA and so this member was from the deaf branch and so when she came that morning I was like webb I know she's deaf and I was RIGHT so I GOT TO SIGN WITH HER AND ELDER FLETCHER IT WAS SOOOOOOO FUN like who knew I had it still in me... not me... but I learned everything about her hahaha I LOVED EVERY SECOND I was in HEAVEN !!! 

then Saturday came and we had an awesome lesson with our new recent convert who moved in and talked about the temple and had a lesson with a members niece who cheered at MACS CHEER LIKE WHATTTTT she knows Julian who was my literal FAV ever and most amazing tumbling coach!! so we bonded and chatted and then we had dinner with mama garza to celebrate her birthday!!!! 

THEN MONDAY AND TUESDAY COME !!! and we have an exchange with our sweet hermanas !! and so we exchanged and had a blast at dinner with a sweet family who moved in recently their names are the beans and they have the sweetest little baby boy who just turned one and they call him LIL BEAN!!!! LIKE WHAT !!!! how freaking cute !!! hermana Hugh and I had literally SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM and we came out and were like this is therapy haha this is so good !! then we zoomed to FHE with our family ward and I got to meet so many new people who moved back and said goodbye to so many people headed to school and so it was so awesome and hermana Hugh knew our fav !!! Brigham so that was AWESOME !! 

then we woke up Tuesday morning on the 6:30 GRIND and worked out in our gym YAY YAY YAY and then we did our studies in the cutest library and I found my NEW FAV DEVOTIONAL EVER like come on AND MY FAV TALK CAME BACK AGAIN so that's when you know it's GOOD so this week I've been listening to wresting with comparisons- I will link it because ITS SO GOOD- and then I listened to on repeat christlike poise and LIKE HOLY MOLY ITS SO GOOD I am always just in awe after reading or listening to them. and so I want to share them with you!!!
