This week has been pretty good.

Why is it that I am only offered treats when Im sick/have an annoying sinus infection? Whenever this happens I hear my mom telling me what I want to hear, “You could have just a little bit of sugar!” And…..more times than not it works…haha durn LDS mothers and their treats! Not to throw my mom under the bus….she’d honestly do everything she could to nurse me back to health after the sugar ;] and I wouldnt have it any other way!

Tuesday we were asked by our mission president to hand out 130 book of mormons, books of mormon, or if you’re my dad, copies of the translation of the book of Mormon! Anyway, 130 books in 65 days. Thats….*brain motor sounds*…2 a day! We’ve been talking to everyone and have handed out 15! Goodness, its so easy and fun! You….should try it out, friends! haha

Thursday I was able to go on exchange with my District Leader (and previous companion) Elder Reed!! It was the funnest thing ever.Since he just got transfered into this District, I, on the exchange helped him organize everything like we did together Whitewashing together in the Lakecities! Just like old times! Every inside joke came to the forefront of our minds and were practically rolling on the floor laughing. Definitely consider him a best friend and its cool that our families live 4 miles away from each other back home, so there will be more times to come!

I also gave a training in Zone Council about our Mission Standard of Excellence and how we can use it to benefit our work. I feel it went pretty well! I shared a couple quotes (as always!) one being from my amazing older brother Jacob. He sent me an email once on how to be consecrated missionaries – so grateful to have an older brother as an example to me and give me advice when needed. Yeah Jake, that was a shout out – you’re welcome. ;] hahah

Funny moment: Last week I was trying to pop a bag open so I could eat the contents, but they just shot out the bottom trying to make it to my stomach faster….I was covered in powder and Elder Reed was dying because It reminded him of both times I shook my protein drink, but the cap wasnt snapped closed so it covered the room! haha durn it.

We have such a great families in the fossil ridge ward! We had a bunch of priesthoodholders gather with us and make “Rescue Visits” to families that havent been coming to church. We even had 2 men join us that we probably wouldve visited that night! These men GET IT. My heart opened up and I just have so much love for them that I didnt know I could.

I love you all and are very grateful for your prayers and letters. You mean so much to me.
