Singing Praises

On Saturday and Sunday as Sisters we got to go to two musical Devotionals! One in Logan and one in Ogden. I was asked to do the narraration in Logan and... it was not easy but I got through it. I was basically memorizing it and I practiced projecting the words a lot. It was scary, I thought I would fall over on the stand but I did it! It taught me a valuable lesson: If you want to have confidence you have to practice being confident until it becomes second nature to you. It's like being a missionary: If you want to be a missionary, you have to get on that badge and do it. 


I saw Hermana Camela at the Devotional and I decided to do something that I haven't really been able to do before with past friendships or relationships that just didn't end up ending smooth... I went up and told her "Hey I know that we had a rough transfer but I want to say I love you and I want to move on from it" she replied: "Of course don't worry about it. I'm not holding anything from that transfer. I learned a lot from it" :) so my second lesson is o never wait to forgive. It may take forever to wait for the other person to forgive and life is too short for forever. 


Stake Conference was on Sunday and there was a song with the choir and this little maybe like 6 year old soloist and it was the CUTEST thing ever!! Something I loved from that stake conference is that if there is a miracle you need in your life, then you ask for it with the cleanest inner vessel you can muster. We still have no friends to teach, but we keep plugging along. 


Oh also transfers came up: I'm staying with Hermana Groves. LOL that will be 6 months together!! I have no idea what's going through president's mind at this point but we are pretty much going to know so much about each other. I don't mind being with her (she's my favorite companion!) If anyone has some of those 20 get to know you questions I would appreciate it


That's all folks! Another week down, 3 transfers left after his one

Context for the logan Chapel: The Logan chapel has this pioneer woman painting in the middle of it and some Spanish Missionaries call it the "Virgin mormona" chapel lol

This story is going to expose me so hard but It's too good not to share  So I sleep talk sometimes and apparently my companion told me I was beatboxing in my sleep and so she was like "Hermana....Hermana..." repeating the same thing so that I would stop and so apparently once I heard I started to say sorry a couple of times. But then a few moments later I started beatboxing again. I have NO  memory of this happening. We had a super cool missionary activity that we got to be apart of. I prepared a 5 minute talk about how I prepared to be a missionary and well they said it was actually 1 minute and so I rushed up there and gave a small speech but the Spirit wooshed into the room with so much strength. (I was so stoked because I love talking and being around youth) This one girl that was 17 came up to me and asked me why I chose to go on a mission (because she was considering it) but then she shared that she has some social anxiety and I was like no way me too! And I told he...
