word.

It´s another glorious day in the mish. It didn´t rain today, so that´s good. Haha. I´m really grateful for the waterproof shoes that I brought: they´ve come in quite handy

We had a Mult-Zone Conference on Friday (they only happen every three months I hear), and it took up most of the day. We had to wake up even earlier than usual (5am for my comps, and 5:30am for me-benefits of short hair and no make-up,ha) to catch a bus and get to the chapel by the temple by 7am. We were spiritually fed and temporally fed (a huge lunch). They talked alot about knowing that we have authority from God to teach the gospel and the doctrine of repentance, being happy and positive because we´re serving the Lord, and to be exactly obedient to the mission rules, in order to have the spiritual power when we teach and to be worthy to witness miracles. 

I seriously wish that I had gone on splits with the missionaries when I was in high school. It would have been out of my comfort zone entirely, but it is so nice when we can cover more ground by splitting with members. We did that the other day, which was awesome. Troy, you should think about going on splits with the missionaries ;) it´s awesome and will help you so much for your mission. It´s awesome to hear that Tyler got his patriarchal blessing. Treasure it, Tyler. I often read mine and have studied the promised blessings and the things I need to do to achieve them. :) And seriously, read your scriptures every day, and pray morning, noon, and night. It´s spiritual nourishment for the soul and is something that must be done as often as you need to eat, drink, and sleep. 

I seriously need to be better about writing in my journal everyday, because that´s what I go off of to write these emails...so sorry, this week I skimped on the journal writing. 

I need to write my mission president now, because I´ve only got 10 minutes left....oops

Ciao!
