This week went by so fast, it was crazy! It was one of the best weeks this transfer and we had a lot going on.
Monday was pretty eventful. In the morning before we did our p-day stuff we helped someone in our ward do some service. It was hard to sacrifice time to do it but afterward I felt very good about it. Service is one of the best things you can do on your mission:) Afterward we went to a p-day activity and played volleyball and basketball. Super fun! Mondays are always the best!
Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Lomwe. It was super good and we were busy most of the day. In the morning we took Mormon.org time to prep for our district meeting. Later that day we stopped by a few PI's, but no one was home except one person. He said come back in a few weeks and he will have some service for us - super excited! We also went by Mary Alice's home and met with her and shared a message. It's always good to visit her :)
For dinner that night we went with rich to dinner and afterward we taught Dale at their home.
District meeting was on Wednesday and it was super good. Sister Smith gave an awesome training on "teach when you find, find when you teach." Throughout the week we visited a lot of members so we can get to know them better and be able to get referrals! So far so good! :)
We had a lesson with Robert and we went over some of the commandments. He's super solid and understands everything! He even bore his testimony on Sunday! He is very prepared and I'm glad I can be apart of his teaching process!
Saturday we helped with a emergency prep training, and we got to role play for them - it was really great!
Thought: I like this part of President Monson's talk about choices:
"I have been thinking recently about choices. It has been said that the door of history turns on small hinges, and so do people’s lives. The choices we make determine our destiny.
When we left our premortal existence and entered mortality, we brought with us the gift of agency. Our goal is to obtain celestial glory, and the choices we make will, in large part, determine whether or not we reach ourgoal.
Most of you are familiar with Alice in Lewis Carroll’s classic novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. You will remember that she comes to a crossroads with two paths before her, each stretching onward but in oppositedirections. As she contemplates which way to turn, she is confronted by the Cheshire Cat, of whom Alice asks, “Which path shall I follow?”
The cat answers, “That depends where you want to go. If you do not know where you want to go, it doesn’t matter which path you take.”
Unlike Alice, we know where we want to go, and it does matter which way we go, for the path we follow in this life leads to our destination in the next life.
May we choose to build up within ourselves a great and powerful faith which will be our most effective defense against the designs of the adversary—a real faith, the kind of faith which will sustain us and will bolster our desire to choose the right. Without such faith, we go nowhere. With it, we can accomplish our goals."

Choices are big in this life, either we choose wrong or right. If we make the right choices in life we will be blessed for our whole life. I'm soooo grateful that God gave us the freedom to choose. Without it we would not learn from our mistakes! I love this gospel!
Well love you all!
Well love you all!
Til next week!
