I can't believe my parents are serving the Lord! It was so fun to read the letter! Haha, you guys are going to be great! I agree with Sam. I had no idea where I was for like a week! I later realized a house (I don't know how we got there) was just down the street. It all starts working together once your internal GPS starts working. When it comes to getting adjusted to a whole new culture...like has been said before just love the people. When I start to love the people I love the place that is home to them. Tell me about all the crazy things every week! And don't worry about filling anyone else's place. The Lord put YOU there for a reason so just be yourself.
First mom, before you worry- my package came! I don't have it with me yet because it is in the North Zone but I'll get it in the next couple days. TRANSFERS are tomorrow. Sister Christiansen is coming to Wanica! I'm so thrilled. We are both super excited to work together and work our butts off. We have a ton of work to do but I'm thrilled to do it. It's going to be awesome. I'm working for miracles this transfer.
This weekend was General Conference! I loved it! We get to have kind of a missionary weekend because Tamengha is a little far where we watch it and it ends late so we sleep over there. Man where to begin. I have to agree with Stephen on Elder Holland's talk. I was so scared and started crying too haha. It was a powerful testimony of the Saviour. I also loved Sister Burton's talk about men. All the Elders were saying, "I think that's the first women's talk I really liked." I was thinking no duh, it's because she is praising men the whole time haha. But it really was a great talk. I also loved the metaphor about hearing the music. I was thinking about how sometimes in the world we are dancing/living the gospel and the people look at you like you're the weird one but it's only because they don't hear the music!
I had 5 questions going into General Conference and all were answered. How can you make sure you are living up to God's potential for you? How can I come to a better understanding of Christ's atonement? How can I prepare now to be a better wife and mother? How can I make the most of my mission? How can I see miracles?
The work last week was very slow and then we were shadowing the Zone Leaders on Friday and gone for the weekend so we didn't see a lot of people. Honestly I don't have anything to report on investigators (thumbs down) #noemojis.
This week is my 6 month mark and it's been crazy to look back. I have gone through so much already and I'm prepared to see what else Heavenly Father has planned for me because he's done a lot in just 6 months!
I love you all so much! I love hearing from you all! Keep being awesome!
Love,
Elizabeth
