So lets see if I can try and remember all that i want to say in this letter cuz i forgot my notes in the car.
This week was pretty good! on Tuesday we had our last District Meeting before transfers. Super fun but sad at the same time. Just as you satrt to get comfortable with ppl its time to change but thats what you sign up for on a mission. Then on wend we got up and went to a breakfast for all the people leaving in our zone it was good. And then we were at transfer sight for like 3 hours! It was soooo cold a windy!! I sat there with a blanket the whole time! Its so cold here now!! I wore tights for the first time ever!!! that was an experience in and of its self... they feel really... tight! haha But thats gonna be my life while here... a life full of many many layers!! no one ever looks good with layers. Its already below freezing at night and in the 40's during the day =( So we are suppose to have a baptism this week end but like always satan has to get in the way and they are talking about pushing it back. We are gonna do our best to try and keep it on scheduled. She is golden and just hope she can stay on track.
I hope everyone watched conference!!! cuz it was AMAZING!!!! with pres monsons announcement about the missionaries age all of us just sat there with our mouths hanging open! How awesome is that!!! its gonna make me feel super old but thats ok! My mission pres asked me if i was ready to train a youngster haha that made me a little nervous. But another talk i loved was Uchdtorf talk about enjoying the journey. I have found my self thinking about how good it will be to go home and that was like a slap to reality. I need to cherish these times on my mission cuz its gonna be gone before i know it. Also Holland talk brought tears to my eyes for sure. Such a good conference!! I love being a missionary cuz your so in tune with the spirit i think and things just hold a different meaning to you at the time. So another thing amazing happened this week so like 2 weeks ago this young man came into the TVC who you could tell he had been having a hardtime and i really felt like i needed to talk to him but i had a meeting i HAD to go to and i didnt get the opportunity =( i was super sad... but then on friday he came in a gain and i got the talk to him for like an hour! it was so good!!! and he has compleatly done a 180 from the last time he came in and is doing great now. ITs just great to see that the Lord is mindful and knew i really wanted to talk to this guy and provided a way for that to happen. miracles happen everyday! I also had my first successful over the phone teaching lesson! This kid is from AZ and was totally open and willing to hear and learn more! I cant wait til our next lesson in a couple days! I love teaching! even though more offten then not i totally trip over my words but he hs provided a way for the people i teach to have the guift of tongues to understand what it is im trying to say haha. Like i have said before... i have never been so awkward in my life! Im normally really good at talking to people and putting my thoughts together but i have found being out here i get flustered and tongue tided alot but its ok its getting better.
Well im about out of time and thats all i can remember i wanted to tell you...but know i love you!!! mail makes everything better!!! and keep my freezing behind in your prayers!
SO proud of you Bekka! Yep Idaho is definitely cold in the winter!
