WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS!

Hello all of my favorite people! Just another awesome week in buh buh buh boynton beach. 

I still love life and we are still finding super awesome people and just trying to go where the Lord wants us to go to help the people he wants us to help. 

We had a crazy amount of meal appointments this week which is always fun to be with the members. Deitra fed us GOAT on Tuesday. I felt a little weird. We were talking during dinner and it turns out that her husband Lee'von likes to catch gator and rabbit and other weird wildlife and eat it. We told him that we are so down to eat any of that so stay tuned. 

We also had interviews with President Garns this week. That man is just so inspired. 

OH! I don’t know if I wrote this in last week’s email but ALICIA AND FREDI GOT MARRIED.... I AM STILL SO EXCITED! My joy seriously cannot be expressed in words. I feel like I just watched Alicia transform throughout the whole teaching process and to now see her after her baptism making even more steps to be able to get sealed in the temple and have an eternal family is just amazing. She has also been such an awesome missionary. She is always looking to help and share the happiness that she has gotten from the gospel with other people. ahhh, i just love her so much. 

Scott is progressing super well. He is seriously so awesome. The gospel CHANGES LIVES. If anyone doesn't believe I just want them to follow me around for a day. I am constantly reminded that as we actually live the gospel, live the things that we were taught since primary, life doesn't get easier, but the way to deal with it for sure does. 

We got to watch half of general conference finally! The biggest theme that stuck out to me is just being an instrument in the Lord’s hands. I mentioned this earlier probably but my phrase that I’ve been saying a whole lot to myself and to other sisters is that " God just calls us to put on foot in front of the other and open and shut our mouth when prompted." And I’ve seen that as I’ve really just been an instrument as Gods work gets done in the way that HE wants it done. 

This amazing woman Sherly showed up to church yesterday after not coming for almost 7 years. She moved away and her life just got flipped upside down and then God just sent her back to church yesterday. I’ll explain more of her story later, she’s seriously amazing. 

That’s really all I have the time and energy for this week but I just want you all to know how true the gospel of Jesus Christ is. It works. USE IT. Listen to the things that were talked about in conference and actually DO them. 

I love you all so much and pray for you more than you know! I hope you have an awesome week!!!
