... Cause I'm Just a Hipster

Monday was crazy.  We went to the biosphere, and i already told you about that, but then we were at sports and Sister Bishop killed her back trying to high kick a soccer ball (it was hilarious to watch) and then she couldn't walk, which wasn't as hilarious but still a little bit funny because she looked like such an old woman (like at least 50 ) and i couldn't help but laugh.  (Mom's Notes:  She thinks she's soooo funny!)

Tuesday was emailing day  and then we couldn't go out much because of her back  but we still got three lessons in!  One was with a part member family and it was really good.  I think the man will get baptized someday.  I have hope.

New Skirt and Chomping on Japanese Candy

Wednesday we had the best zone meeting ever.  We talked about how we aren't perfect but that is for a reason. We listened to this really good talk, and i wish i had a copy of it, but it was seriously amazing. We then went and had a lesson with a woman named **********.  She was less active but now she's coming back to church and i just love her a lot.  We also went to Mutual and taught the youth about missionary work and how to prepare to serve a mission.  I think youth are my favorite.  Seriously.  I want to apply to be an EFY counselor the summer i get back, so find out how/when i do that.  I might need you to do it for me.  THAT NIGHT I GOT YOUR PACKAGE AND SERIOUSLY I WAS SO HAPPY.  Looooove the skirts!  And also the Japanese candy is almost gone now...  oops...  and McKennas letters...  Tell her that I almost lost body function reading her love letter and Sister Bishop thought I was on drugs or something cause I was laughing so hard.

Thursday, Sister Killpack (the mission president's wife) came to our studies in the morning.  We got a lot of inspiration as to what we should be teaching and what not.  I really like her.  We had a lesson with this lady, Sister ********** about patriarchal blessings and it was really cool and you'll see why later but seriously it was awesome.  That night THE COOLEST THING OF MY WHOLE MISSION HAPPENED.  OH MY GOODNESS.  We tried like at least ten houses and none of them answered.  I felt like we needed to be back in our neighborhood and Sister Bishop felt like we should go see ******  in our neighborhood.  We get to her house and she answered the door.  Sister Bishop had to use the restroom so I was talking to her.  Then Sister Bishop came out and we talked about the atonement and how God still loves her, and He doesn't expect us to be perfect, He just expects us to try as hard as we can, and it was really really good.  I was able to relate to her about some things and I just knew that we needed to be there. 

On our way to the Temple!!!

Friday we went to the temple.  The new video is so cool.  I went with a strange question that I needed an answer to, and I got a prompting to read something and now I'm confused, but at peace.  On the way home we stopped at The Thing.  Its a gas station that sells things.  I can't explain it -- I give up -- but anyway, i totally bought two dream catchers and i keep one of them attached to my purse, cause i'm just a hipster.

Cheese!

Saturday, we taught a few lessons, but the coolest thing of the day was when we had the ZL's come and give ****** a blessing.  It was the most beautiful blessing I have ever heard and I definitely cried during it and felt really weird, but that's okay.  I just love the priesthood power so much and I know that priesthood blessings really do come from God and are inspired.

Sunday, during Relief Society, we had a lesson on priesthood blessings and patriarchal blessings. WHAAAT?!  We didn't even know that we would be having that lesson when we were talking about it all week!  It was really cool.

I love all of you!
