Week 61: Fabulous!

hello fabulous fans!! ive had one fabulous week and i cant believe its actually pday day again! (especially because i had to wait an extra day for it). i started the week of by going on exchanges with Sister Bahr. pretty much the highlight of my week because i love that girl. she is such a huge blessing in my life. we taught Elaine about temples and family history and it was so fun to teach along side her! sis heuston and i have also just been crazy busy going from apt. to apt. and its really draining but also so amazing because its been some of the most spiritual testimony building days of my entire mission! updates: scottie & courtney: we have a lesson with them tonight finally yayayayay. elaine: came to church again! is speedily preparing for her baptism at the end of this month !!! me: tried the avocado BLT from wendy's would recommend to a friend. miracle whip episode 2: we were so busy and on the phone a lot this past week and traveling to st. louis that we had not that much time to find new people to teach so at 8:45 sunday night we were running from house to house knocking on every door that had a light on. it was so exhilarating and normally knocking on doors isn't my favorite activity but it was so much fun and i was so happy just to be sharing the Lord's gospel! we met a cute mom named Tara we will start teaching this week !!! what a weird way to have fun but somehow we did! we also had MLC this past friday with President and Sister Bell!!! They are simply amazing. We talked about making decisions on our own and living by doctrine and principles (because new mission president and he has been getting lots of questions). in Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-29 it says "26 For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. 27 Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; 28 For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward. 29 But he that doeth not anything until he is commanded, and receiveth a commandment with doubtful heart, and keepeth it with slothfulness, the same is damned." I mean its pretty intense but i love it!!! I love that we get the choice to act and not wait for something to happen to us or to just float by. We can be anxiously engaged in good even great things!!!! Like living the gospel etc. Obviously missionaries live different life that everyone else but you can still choose to act instead of be acted upon! Idk ive become pretty wise the past 14 months and i like talking about the gospel but when it comes to emailing things ive learned im a lost cause, come have a companion study with me the you will know what i mean ;)) im better at talking in person we all know that cuz i always have something to say. Anywhooooo i love you all. Love, sis folk 

Pics: Hahah half of my photos are with sis bahr oh well !!! Old comps = besties4ever. Sis Heuston found a book at the antique mall... apparently we can pray without talking to God??? Weird! In Missouri on Pday we go to the antique mall! Fun! (It actually was really fun)
