General Conference!

This week was interesting to say the least. On Tuesday we went to help a member on her farm. Her name is Mable Adams. She owns a huge farm land and runs it all by her self. We helped her pick up garbage as I dodged between ferocious chickens and one giant turkey! I really don't like animals. haha but I am slowly getting over that fear I can walk up to a house with a huge barking dog with no fear now. Before I would run and scream back to the car now I just silently pray that Heavenly Father will keep me safe and it works! Imagine that! I also got to go to prison! We got a referral to go there and talk to a guy who was getting released soon. The officer wouldn't let us talk to him though and said he had been in a REALLY long time. It was an experience sister Davis was so scared to go and surprisingly I was just super pumped because I thought maybe it would be a good story to tell but nothing happened sadly! This week was kinda hard, but still good. I got really sick on Wednesday night. Don't worry I am doing fine now but we couldn't really do much missionary work, poor Sister Davis was so bored she was building card towers and perfecting her crocheting skills. I got my Easter package from you at perfect time though! It really made my day. I loved the letters and I have gotten so much candy I was grateful for the almonds and pistachios! I don't need to gain anymore weight! haha.

General Conference was AMAZING!! I took twenty pages of notes and I actually stayed awake for all four sessions. haha. I feel so up lifted after hearing from the servants of the lord and I never realized how much they talk about missionaries until you are one! Saturday and Sunday I was able to feel like a missionary again. I notice as I stop thinking about my self and think about serving others I begin to really love the work that I am doing and it gets easier. I don't even know where to start about which talk was my favorite. I loved Sister Dalton's talk about how I am a daughter of God I knew that but I never thought about WHOSE I am. I am his daughter I owe it to him to be different from the world. To stand as a witness of God at ALL times in ALL things and in ALL places. The things I want to change the most about my self while serving a mission is my "me me me" attitude. Well Richard G. Scott said that "selfishness is the root of all evil!" This church is literally centered on service. That is who we are. A church full of love and compassion. I am grateful to be serving a mission. I thought I was ready to get married, to be a mom, NO WAY! The world needs women who are resilient in the faith and my future kids need me to be that way also. this mission is the BEST opportunity Heavenly Father could have blessed me with. I noticed that the central theme was around obedience. Blessing come only from striving every day for exact obedience. That is especially true for me as a missionary I loved the talk by Bruce D. Porter about being optimistic. I really am striving to be happy and not say negative things but when that alarm clock goes of in the morning it takes all I have not to hate it. Well when we talked about his roommate singing Oklahoma it hit sister Davis and I hard. So this morning when our alarm clock went off we sang that song. Then as we were running down the road we were actually laughing and singing the whole way. Attitude really is everything. I love being a missionary. I love this opportunity to change into the person I have always wanted to be.  As the Words of Elder Nelson, missionary work is the thing to do and we should all

"CATCH THE WAVE"!! Give the missionaries in your area people to teach. They need your help we can not do it alone! I love you all to pieces and pray for you all the time. Thank you for everything!
