So for starters, Wednesday was so awesome. So we're not really allowed to listen to music at all here at the CCM, which is a real bummer, but we were able to on Wednesday! Our substitute teacher (Hna Arnaud was sick) let us watch a neat little video of all the temples in Utah and then as we worked he played nice quiet music in the background for us. Ah I loved it so much! Also our sub, Hno
Martinez, was so cool! I really like the way he taught. It was a super good lesson. And then on Wednesday too the CCM director's wife bought me cupcakes from the tienda! It was because I let her cut in front of me in the line. She's sweet and her kids (3 little boys) are super adorable. I love it!
Thursday was awesome too! Think I set a record because I got 4 packages! What?! They may or may not have all been from my mother, but hey, it was awesome. My elders hated it... until they saw that they were full of snacks for the conference weekend :) Also it's getting warmer! :D I LOVE not being freezing cold and having to steal other peoples' jackets! This is the kind of weather I was hoping for, and now I finally have it :) Then me and Hna Garner also taught a really awesome lesson to Nancy, one of our investigators!! It just went so well. We definitely taught through the Spirit the entire time. So great :)
Friday was my one-month mark! So crazy! We started off the day with Krispy Kreme donuts which was so great :) and then we taught another awesome lesson to our other investigator, Joana :) I love it so many! Good stuff, good stuff.
Then Saturday and Sunday was GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! I have never been more excited or loved conference more than I did this time! My goodness there was so much good stuff! I took a bunch of my snacks to share and ended up sharing with a few other districts aside from my own. They were all so happy :) it was great. Sharing makes me happy. I think from Saturday my favorite talks were Pres. Uchtdorf's, Elder Hales's, and Elder Holland's. Holland's especially :) Made me miss my momma though! Also it made me cry. Sheesh it was awesome though. I also really liked Pres. Uchtdorf's talk from the women's session. We watched that Saturday night while the elders had Priesthood session. Oh and I made some new friends :) there are two other hermanas in another district that are going to Arcadia too! So we talked and ate donuts and had a great time :)
Sunday was awesome too. More gorgeous weather and more sweet talks. From Sunday's sessions I really like Pres. Monson's, Pres. Nelson's, and Elder Haynie's talks :) For lunch we sat with our new hermana friends and our elders told us we were traitors. They took it back when I told them that traitors don't share their snacks ;) On Sunday we had also had a lot of free time, which I really enjoyed :) and after dinner we got to watch "How Rare a Possession." It's about an Italian dude! And the Book of Mormon! It made me realize how grateful and how blessed I am to have the Book of Mormon and to have a solid testimony of it :)
Monday was good :) our new hermana friends ate dinner with us this time. Their elders were "deeply offended," as they put it, until we shared my double stuff Oreos with them. Then they were okay with it ;) sharing treats is great. We also taught another sweet lesson, and we had our final service project for while we're here. It was fun :)
I can't believe I'll be on my way to Cali this time next week.... Crazy stuff! Because of that I don't know when I'll get to email next, but hey, it'll be neat when I finally get to!
Love y'all!
