Thursday we had the chance to go and see sweet Sarah the woodlands mission therapist haha she is the most spiritually in tune mom and missionary and friend and Sister Allred and I had such a good opportunity to so vulnerability connect with one another and realize where we are at with one another !! we had no problems in our companionship but we just started chatting and realized that sister allred wants to make me proud and I don't want to ruin her mission by being a bad trainer and we were mind blown !!! our little time with Sarah was so amazing!!! we had dinner that night with the miller's and we love sister Miller she is the sweetest little service missionary in our ward and she loves Timmy's Facebook lol so she seems to know everything about my life haha institute was also SO powerful discussing the power of becoming someone who can choose to act not to be acted upon !!! it was even more so eye opening!!! 

Friday we had such a good time heading up to Conroe to see our sweet new member Taysha !! she is so busy and so we caught her at work and it was seriously SO CUTE !!! we had such a blast!!! and loved the little roadtrip !!! on the roadtrip we had the chance to visit a Bucees !!!! Sister allreds first time at the Texans Heaven on earth haha we had a blast walking around and getting Halloween shirts which is Sister allreads all time fav Holiday so that was awesome we met a LIT biker gang while going to the car and enjoyed some small little treats and new shirts !!! we chatted with Karla Friday night too and talked about conference and how her week was and she just is the most amazing example!!! like I cannot express how freaking powerful her spirit is now!!!! and being with her seriously makes me want to become better each time!!!! like she is on FIRE right now!!! 

NOW ITS TIME TO FAN GIRL OVER CONFERENCE !!!!! Y'ALL conference this time around was one of the most powerful conferences of my life!!!! I went in with questions and came out with answers and more personal conversion to Jesus christ and his plan for me personally !!! if you haven't watched general conference go and watch it and rewatch it and rewatch it!!!! it is SO powerful!!! 

Saturday morning we watched conference and enjoyed some breakfast with the ysa and definetly overpacked lol sister allred and I were prepared haha but didn't need to be lol then we went to watch the afternoon session with the missionaries at the stake center and then went to dinner with the garzas and had some REALLY REALLY good BBQ!!!! and just chatted for so long and enjoyed our night with them!!! I cannot express how amazing this family is !!!! like shout out them!!!! 

then Sunday we ate some homemade biscuits and gravy from the zone leaders and watched conference with some more missionaries all Sunday and then ended the night at sweet Sydneys home!!!! with Sister Phillips and Coons!!! Sister Phillips and I met Sydney while we were on exchange and she is a member who left the church 2 year ago almost right after her mission and has been struggling with a relationship with god but said we could come back and have dinner and so we all went and it was AMAZING !!! we had such a blast Sydney and her mom have the sweetest spirits ever !!! we tried on all their wigs and it was LITERALLY WAY TOO MUCH FUN!!!!!! we were having a girls party fr it was a blast !!!! 

Monday I got to share in our district meeting with the missionaries around us the Jesus study of the week!! and I talked about how Jesus christ is the light of the world and whole reading about the woman caught in adultery i realized he not only is the light of the world like his example is bright and guiding and invites people to come closer to him he also LIGHTENS our world!!! the way we feel or see our world can become lighter through him and his help like the woman caught in adultery she left feeling lighter!! forgiven!! a burden lifted!! ANYWAYS could go on a tangent all day about christs miracle here because I have felt like her way too many times and cannot thank him enough for lightening my load and my burdens !! 

but we had some fire lessons Monday and Tuesday we also were NON stop !!! lesson after lesson after lesson after knocking but tuesday was a very special day because we went to swig to get a little pick me up lol a little engery for the day ahead and we pull in and I'm like allred I think those are missionaries ahead of us!! they had a bike rack and tiwi and I was like it has to be missionaries and they turn around too thinking the same thing I'm sure and we wave and they just stare at us haha the elder driving was looking through the mirrors it was hilarious !! we ordered our drinks chatted with our girl Chelsey and then got to the window and BOOM our drinks are paid for !!!! the girl is like the elders got you LIKE WHAT what missionaries be buying us these drinks we had to know lol but being a missionary now for a good 15 months I have lost all my rizz I ain't got NO GAME and talking to new people especially after being bought drinks was NOT GONNA HAPPEN lol I thought I was normal until this encounter we tried to talk to them and it was SO AWK haha and then we ZOOMED out of there and were embarrassed ALL DAY!! we didn't even get their names lol shout out the swig boys haha serving in spring texas !! 

well today was awesome !!! our pday was packed !! we went to the temple with our girls sister Abbott and sister Steadman and had a really special time with the spirit!! but FUN FACT some missionaries from the east mission were there and so we are like heyyyy we are so weird and some elders bought us drinks and we want to thank them lol well the elders knew them and were like we got you hahaha so no fear the elders were thanked finally !!! after the temple and lunch we went to the church and called fam and played some games and then ended the pday with WALK OF FAITH!! it's where you turn off all the lights and have a ball and you play tag with the ball in the dark hahaha it's crazy I never realized that I was blind tell then haha I have no night vision lol it was hilarious but SO MUCH FUN!!! then we ended pday with the district at in and out and now we are here haha at home relaxing !!! 

I wanted to leave you with my fav general conference quote !! it came from Sister Wright "spiritual preparation for the coming of the lord is not only essential but the only way to find true peace and happiness"  

I know that the small and simple things like praying everyday and reading from the Bible the book of mormon or from the living prophets words and attending a worship service on sunday will prepare us quickly and efficiently for the coming of the lord and will help us to become truly happy and recieve peace in this life!!!! 

it has happened for me and I know it will happen for you!!! 

God bless !!! tell next week !!! 

xoxo
