Week 32: General Conference!!!

Hallo Freunde und Familie!

This past week was a little different because we didn't spend as much time proselytizing with interviews and general conference going on, but it was so good! I feel like I definitely learned a lot, and I'm excited to go back and read some of the talks.

Tuesday was such a relaxed day. The Schwammedingen Sisters spent the day with members, so Sister Smith and I were on our own. We decided to take it easy. Sister Smith made eclairs, and I took a long nap. Not the most exciting p-day, but I think it was very much needed haha!

We had interviews with President Naatjes, and we showed up at the wrong building haha. Luckily President was behind schedule, so we had time to head over to the right building in time for our interviews. It's good to chat with President because he is always very in-touch with the Spirit, so he always knows what to say. I now have no idea what'll happen with transfers next week though because my interview with him made me question everything haha. I guess I'll find out on Saturday.

We met with some friends and less-active members this week and talked about the importance of prophets and modern-day revelation. It definitely got us really excited for conference!

We watched general conference as a district. On Sunday, we made German pancakes and hash browns for brunch, watched a few sessions together, and made Cafe Rio for dinner. Then, on Monday, we had district counsel and watched the last session at the Mackays' house and ate EggMcMackays. It was such a good time!

One of my favorite parts was Sister Yee's talk. She talked about how the Savior gives us beauty for the ashes of our lives. Everything that we experience on this earth is for us and for our growth. So when we have difficult times, we can remember that God is aware of us and He wants us to feel hope. He has given us a Savior that will consecrate our sorrows for our good. All in all, it was an amazing conference!

I hope you all enjoyed your week, and that this next one is good as well! :)

Große Liebe,
