A week in Lubbock


HOLA TODO!

  So this week was so great! We had zone conference down in Lubbock and it was so good! I got to see a ton of my mission friends and Maddie Correlli! It's always fun when people from the "real world" come to your mission ;)) We had a lot of instructions though, and it was so weird to see the departing missionaries give their farewell testimony, because that is literally me next transfer! AH. I like started tearing up when they were giving their testimonies because i just love being a missionary so much! President and Sister Hales also put together this game during lunch, it was like a mix of 4 square and VOLLEYBALL! So of course me and my companera joined and played. 

  After that we had exchanges with the sister training leaders and I went with sister montgomery! She came out a little after me, so we had a ton of fun. We saw a lot of less actives and of course finished the exchange with my fav, bahama bucks. That place is seriously too good. A member had all 4 of us plus another companionship come over for valentines dinner, and holy cow SO MUCH FOOD. She made heart shaped pizzas, which were bigger than my face, and then she brought out CHEESECAKE, AND chocolate strawberries. I seriously was soooooo full. SO much good food though. There was a sister there who was on her first transfer in the mission, and i asked how she was doing, and she was like "I'm doing better, haven't cried too much this week" aw. training days.... 

  As for an update on our Jehovah Witness girl, things are going great! We taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ this week and the spirit was so strong! At first she was really hesitant to learn about our church and stuff, and like the first lesson she brought up a lot of doctrine things in the bible, but this lesson was just like so good! We talked a lot about finding peace through Christ, and we used the Book of Mormon a ton! It just confirms my testimony that the Book of Mormon really is the only thing that can convert us .

  Well that's all for now, I love y'all mucho and I'm so happy to be out here in Clovis NEW MEXICO!
