| Studying Outside |
Why isn't it Christmas
all the time. This is a question I ask myself often, particularly when I'm
listening to the MOTAB Christmas album.

Okay so can't remember if last week I mentioned that I was
freaking out a bit about Leslie and Jess because of some things they read on
the internet. Well this week we went over 2 of the major commandments (Ya know
the big ones) and it went amazing, better than I ever expected. And they
committed to living them both. It brought out some amazing conversations.
Regardless of what happens I have seen those two change more on my mission than
any one else. And I mean I've seen real changes, it's been so cool to just be a
part of it

We had Zone conference this week and it was amazing! Always
fills my cup, we focused on applying all the principles and trainings we have
gotten throughout the year.

On Wednesday we went to Daytona State College and we got to set
up a table in the cafeteria. Ah it was exhilarating. Nothing like anything I've
done on my mission so far. But even though people my own age terrify me, they
were all really cool and super open to listen. So we're doing it weekly with
the Daytona Elders.

We met a couple of new people this week that we are super
excited about! I will give you more information as they start to progress.

Everyone... everyone.. thinks my companion and I are twins or
sisters. Random people come up to us and ask us if we are, which.. hey no
complaints because then conversation already started it's just super
funny.

Spiritual experience from
this week:
- Thursday I
was feeling a little ill, but nothing to serious. Friday morning we woke
up and we went on a run, on the way back to our apartment I was in a lot
of pain. I busted in our apartment door as fast as I could and immediately
fell to the floor, no matter what position I switched to the pain wouldn't
stop. My poor companion had no idea what to do. I was sweating and
gagging, everything was blurry. I ran to the bathroom and shut the door
and lay by the toilet. In that moment I said probably one of the more
sincere prayers of my life. I was begging, sincerely begging for Heavenly
Father to take away the pain. But nothing changed, so I went and fell on
my bed and instead asked if Heavenly Father could just help me to fall
fast asleep so I could forget the pain. At this point the pain was almost
terrifying. But I immediately fell asleep. 30 minutes later I woke up, no
trace of pain. Just enough time to get ready and on time for studies. That
was one of the greatest tender mercies. For whatever reason, I think
whatever I was going through was suppose to last a lot longer but Heavenly
Father was merciful to me. I was able to work effectively for the rest of
the day, and I haven't had the pain since. I just remember in the moment
feeling like I knew exactly who to run to, that was my Father in Heaven. I
just wanted his comfort and his peace. And even though I would have really
liked to have my mom there with the amount of pain I was in, I was
grateful it was just me and Him.
I challenge you to read John 8. It's an
amazing chapter if you read it with the intent of seeing Christ's love.
The church is true!
