This week was pretty cool figuratively not literally :(
Monday was really fun because we had our once a transfer zone pday. Let's just say I played volleyball for almost 3.5 hours. I was so tired and exhausted at the end of it. That night for FHE we had an Easter egg hunt for April fools day...I don't even know why. Oh and also there was a tornado warning and the sirens went off during FHE that was fun... Nothing happened from it so that cool.
Tuesday was a pretty normal day we had taco tuesday at the institute and we met a few people on campus. That's about it
Wednesday was also a uneventful day besides our institute class that we had that night. We were reading in leviticus and specifically the rituals that were preformed by the high priests on the day of passover. It's really cool to see all the parallels and foreshadows that point directly to Christ
Thursday we had a super cool lesson with our new friend Donovan. We found him on campus last week and gave him a Ɓook of Mormon and we asked him if anything stuck out to him when we met up. He said that the first picture of Jesus in the ƁOM was cool to him because he had the same picture in the back of his phone... his mom gave it to him sometime during covid. It's crazy because it was one of the pass along cards we give out to people and he didn't know that until we pointed it out to him!! So many miracles can come from just talking to everyone!!!
Friday was alright too, we had quite a cool walking around campus talking to people about general conference and inviting them to it. We went to Braums for dinner and of course I got the Bag of Burgers again. One of these days I'll be able to eat all five burgers in one sitting... we also had a game night and we played Secret Hitler, I was Hitler twice. I lost both times but of course that's because I totally couldn't not let Hitler win as a missionary and chose to loose both times. Just kidding.
Saturday was conference and let me just tell you, when you're a missionary, at least in my experience it's so much better!! David A Bednars talk was probably my favorite from that day. I just really like when people bring up the importance of having a firm Fondation on the rock of Christ! Also President Holland's talk was really good!!
Sunday was really enjoyable as well. All the talks were super good! I enjoyed Elder Renlunds talk about the doctrine of Christ and comparing it to a kayaking trip. As a missionary we teach the Doctrine of Christ a lottt so it's cool to see it taught in that way! Overall I just liked all the focus that was put on temple covenants and going to the temple regularly!!
I hope yall have a good week!!

"Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day" Alma 37:37
