BRYT WASN’T THE ONLY ONE IN WHITE THIS WEEKEND😉

WOWZAAA. What a crazy week. Seems kinda like I didn't really even have a second to breathe.

I am so happy to hear about how awesome Dan's wedding was! Everything looked INCREDIBLE and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want to trade places for one night so I could've been there!

SCOTT GOT BAPTIZED!!!!! It was such an amazing service. He got up after and just bore such a pure testimony about the restored gospel. He said "I have never felt anything like this before in my life". It was incredible. His mom who isn't a member came and made meatballs-- Scott was so hyped about those meatballs ahha. He spent the whole rest of the day at the church setting up for the ward thanksgiving party and just serving. It was amazing.

Speaking of the ward thanksgiving party, it was such a blast! The Alvarados came and had so much fun! There was actually a pinewood derby and so of course Sister Dimond and I wanted to participate in it so one of ward members made us a car and we decorated it and you'll never guess but WE TOOK 2ND PLACE!!!! IT WAS INSANE. I’ll send lots of pictures! We were so into it hahah

I've been working a lot lately at being a better listener. In all aspects of listening. Listening to the spirit, to my mission leaders, and to just those around us. I have been praying for opportunities to grow in this and this past week we had a day that was just full of listening. Our plan got changed like 4 times due to circumstances out of our control and we basically just spent the entire day listening to people. It taught me so much. It’s amazing how the Lord works.

This upcoming week we have to give a presentation in front of the entire mission... I don't know why president thought that we were qualified for the job but he signed us up. I seriously have never heard of the STL's giving a legit training before, so this is new for us all... PRAY FOR US.

I don't have a whole lot of time because I've been looking at Dan’s wedding pictures for so long but this week was absolutely awesome. We are working with so many cool people and I feel just so "established" as a missionary. I am just so humbled to be able to serve in this way. THIS CHURCH IS TRUE and the gospel taught within changes live- I’m sure of it.

I love you all. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I am so thankful for you all! and I pray for you more often than you think!
