General Conference Time

Brittany's baptism ~ September 5, 2015 !

General Women's Conference was amazing! I liked the story of great Aunt Ruby. It reminded me of "Secondhand Lions." Well today is not officially our Pday this week because we are going to the temple tomorrow. But since we live far away we get to email, grocery shop, and do laundry today. We are driving ourselves to the temple. We couldn't find anyone that could take us during the week and we can't go on Saturday because it is prime proselyting. We had to ask permission if we can drive ourselves and Elder Fisher is so gracious enough to allow us to go. We even have extra miles. We have about 240 miles saved up which doesn't normally happen. It is about 224 miles round trip to get to the temple. I am so excited to go. We couldn't find a ride last transfer so we were determined to go this transfer! Then this Thursday there is MLC and that is in Spokane and I will be in Pullman for the whole day. We have to leave Lewiston at 6:15 in the morning so that we can get to Moscow at 6:50 so that Sister Winsor and other missionary leaders can get to Spokane before 9.  The meeting is from 9am-4pm. But Sister Winsor and other Sister Missionaries are going to go out to dinner so we won't be getting back to Lewiston until around 8pm.   But I am excited to be in Pullman. It is supposed to be an area that is one of the most desirable to serve in. So I at least have one day there if nothing else.

Lydia wasn't at the Stake Center watching Women's Conference but she could have been watching at her home. She did come to church yesterday which was awesome. Not a lot of people came but it was by far the best Sunday at the branch. It was fun and spiritually uplifting. Then we had "break the fast" which the food is always delicious. It is so nice not to have make food every once in a while. A return missionary made Chilean bread which was delicious.  He was in the middle of chile. Where did the van liew boy serve in chile?

So Devin texted us yesterday and said that he is not ready to give up being a teenager and that there is a lot that he hasn't done and that this is not for him. To me that does not make sense.  That was hard to take in. But we met with Pypre this week!! She is doing good and we are going to commit her to watch General conference, as well as a lot of other people. 

On the bright side, because there is always a bright side, we have two potential investigators that look very promising. I am super excited! I am also nervous about transfer calls this Sunday. I am just getting anxious wondering whether or not I am staying or leaving.  

Guess what!?!? I had green beans!!!!!!!!!!!!! man, they were amazing! Love them.

I don't think I told you but Lydia Bjornn at first was only all handshakes, but after about 2 months she gave in. She allowed me to hug her at church before we left. We commented on how good of a hugger I am. I told her this is what my Mom has been missing out on! haha ;-)

I am doing well. I love it. My testimony has grown stronger everyday. I just want everyone else to know what I know, feel what I feel, cherish what I cherish. That is why I am here.

Love you all and miss you bunches! Toodaloo!
