Hi there!
So thanks for all the emails!
Sorry for not responding individually but time is short today. I love hearing
about everything and I’m glad yall enjoyed conference. Me and my companion were
just laughing at the picture of Scarlett and Sadie watching conference in a
tent trying to be like the people of King Benjamin. Too funny! Sorry about your
wrist Mom! It is kind of funny because in Moms email she said she just hurt
her wrist a little bit. Then Emily said Mom broke
her wrist. Then Dad said Mom broke her arm AND has a big ole cast!!! So I am a
little confused but I’m glad that she’s alright. That’s good about Alabama! I
sure do miss those Saturdays sitting around eating good food and watching
football with all of yall! But I like what I’m doing now just a bit more;)
So a funny story – It might have been
Tuesday, but we were doing companionship study and Elder Capello was about to
share his thoughts when out of the corner of my eye I saw something come out of
the hallway. I looked over and saw a HUGE HAIRY spider coming right toward me! It
was seriously one of the spiders on Harry Potter. I flipped out. Then Elder
Capello got a broom and stood as far away as possible and started whacking it
with the broom. We killed it but the question was – Did it come from the kitchen
or from the bedroom? AND did it have children??? I haven’t seen any more so
hopefully we’re done with those! Haha!
We had 2 baptisms on Saturday – the
brothers I told you about last week. The time and day got changed for the
baptisms multiple times because of the conference confusion and what not. But
we finally did it! I have some pictures I’ll send to you.
So I did get to watch conference this
weekend! We went on Saturday and they had the Women’s Session going but could
only get it in English and Spanish. So the bishop said we will have regular
church on Sunday and watch conference next week in Portuguese. But after the
baptism me and Elder Capello went in and watched it in English. You can only
watch the sessions live and when we turned it on it was halfway through the
second session and the end of Elder Hollands talk… So that was disappointing.
Then we only got to watch half of the Sunday morning one because we had to walk
forever to our lunch appointment. Then we watched most of the last session but
then they came in and hooked up this new device thing and started watching the
women’s session in Portuguese. So we had really loud English and Portuguese
going at the same time and everyone kept looking at us cause they couldn’t
focus. It was really awkward. We were there first but we decided to be the
bigger persons so we turned off the English. And it was right before Elder
Bednars talk (my favorite) so that was disappointing too. But I’ll get to watch
it all in Portuguese next week!
I loved what I got to see of conference. I
was praying that I could watch at least some sessions in English and the little
bit I did see was exactly what I needed to hear. I love the Prophet and the
apostles. The spirit was so strong as we watched them speak. Afterwards I just
wanted to go talk to everyone on the street about the gospel! This church makes
me so happy and it breaks my heart when people reject what we teach because
they don’t know what they are missing out on. The Lord is so merciful. I love
my mission and I love all of you!
