Howdy y'all!
This was a pretty good week!
Tuesday we went out with Sister Hawthorn to see some people in Amity and Murfreesboro. We saw Sister Hill and then We saw Richard Collins again finally. We dropped him a while ago but ended up teaching the word of wisdom again and giving him a priesthood blessing to help him stop smoking! We saw Denise Godwin as well and taught a really good plan of salvation! She loved it and wants to be with her family forever! We went back to sister Hawthorns and had dinner with the Bershers and it was good.

Wednesday we had Zone Conference so we woke up at 4 to get there on time haha. We had some really good role plays and learned a ton! We had interviews and they were stellar. When we got back to Hot Springs, we were picked up by David Palmer and went to Buffalo Wild Wings. We tried to teach our spastic waitress but she was too hyped up. It was her 5th day on the job and let us know at many times.
Thursday we did service at the CADC and did some work haha. We swept and did the frozen dinners and cleaned out the pantry. We then had a study then I filled out scholarship applications and college stuff. I was able to memorize 7 full scripture references that day! That was good! We had enchiladas at the Hawthorns that night.

Friday was good. We had weekly Planning and then Sister Crow took us to Mount Ida and we saw a couple who want us to come back next week and tracked down a less active who didn't live where the address was. We saw Sister O'Neal and she's a talker! In a good way! She's funny and talked about her family and how it's going through a rough time. We shared Ether 12:6 about faith and hope and how it will all work out in the end. We then got dropped off at home and as we drove to Amity to see the Wilson's, my luck decided to kick in and we ran something over that caused a loud thud and then as we got to Amity, my tire light went on. So I knew at that moment, there was something wrong. As we pulled into the driveway, I looked at the now flat wheel. We the donut on with Taylor and Steve and the hole was the size of a pencil in the friggin thing. So we ate tacos (I only had 7 or 8 this time but they were thicker and bigger) and had a lesson. We read 3 Nephi 27 with them and explained how Christ established his church in America and how his Church should be named after him. It was awesome!

Saturday we were able to see a home teaching member that we were assigned to. Her name is Sister Lenz and she is a sweet heart! Hard working old lady who loves the church but due to work she can hardly make it. She wants us to start reading the Book of Mormon with her. Sister Hawthorn picked us up and drove us to Little Rock for Stake Conference and it was great! Lots of great talks! President Palmer talked about King Benjamins address and how every soul who heard it never fell away but the very next generation would not follow the teachings given by King Benjamin because they were too little. He then asked "who was in the wrong?" Well it's quite simple, the parents. They heard it and lived by it, but they never taught it to their children who were too young to remember. They never had family home evening or scripture study. They took what they learned and held it in. So when we hear the prophet or read the scriptures, we have to teach it to those who we are entrusted to care for. For me, it would be the people in my area. For y'all, well ate personal. Who do y'all need to teach and lift with the holy Word of God? We drove home and got back around 10:30 or 11.

Sunday we woke up early at 5 and went to Stake conference again. Good stuff again! Sister Hugentobler gave a talk and it was phenomenal about how God may be trying to get a hold of us, but our connection might not be strong enough to pick it up. It was awesome! She then said "your choices you make effect your eternity." Wow. Isn't that profound! The choices we make today, can effect where we stand in the eternities. It was a great conference! We drove back and had lunch and spent the afternoon with the Hawthorns. Her family was over so that was neat. We got home and enjoyed our super bowl Sunday tidying up the apartment and writing this letter haha.

I love y'all so much! I hope y'alls week was as grand as mine! Just know that I know for a certainty that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Is Christ's church once again restored to the earth by Joseph Smith. It's not just another church. It's THE church. God isn't just a God. He's our father. He loves our souls and He loves us and knows us each individually. Isn't that nice? There's hope. Hope for a brighter world and hope for a better future. No one is alone with God and no one loves you more. I so testify in the name of Jesus Christ.
