mission average = f
April 5, 2022
hola!!!! this week just kinda flew by and now we are half way thru the transfer....idk how that happened but it did haha!!
we had zone conference which is always soooo good!!! and right after we had interviews!!! interviews are always a blessing and help me out a lot. President said to me, "hermana, its life long discipleship that matters, not lifelong missionary discipleship." and that hit me like a brick...I have had to rely on God a lot this week with the stress and anxiety of a couple things but my mission president really helped out. so, if you all could pray for me and things to get better physically that would mean the world😇 despite the hard days and the rejection, there is so much good that comes from serving a mission. and I'm so grateful for it every day. it is going to be so hard to leave my mission and I don't want it to come earlier than planned!!! but I learned a lot from GENERAL CONFERENCE this weekend which was straight bars by the way.
highlights of general conference:
-being able to get the rest I needed to recover
-every single talk was tan bueno and made me so happy
-learning to accept God's will over my own will is something that has stuck with me. I'm on a mission here and I can't control everything. I can't control a lot that happens. I can control how I feel and things that are in my reach to control, but some other things have a bigger meaning and purpose. i know that I need to just let him literally carry it all with me and not just me alone. the more I do it by myself it'll just make it all worse. his plan is far better than mine and if it requires me to do things that I don't want to do, I know it will be for my good.
-another one was forgiving others. ngl this has been super hard on so many different levels with past experiences, but I know that as I forgive, I will feel better. I know that if I let things go, and let god prevail, I'll be happier and more at peace. Because god wants us to be peacemakers, not destroyers.
-there's a lot more I took away from conference and I'm so so happy that I was able to be on a mission while this conference happened. Speaking of missions.....IF YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING AT ALL ABOUT IT, please go. it will bless your life immensely and you will grow beyond measure. It'll be so rewarding and hard but so so so good. I will never forget all the trials and blessings that have come from me being out here, I know and can promise you that you will enjoy it and never regret this decision.
We got to stay the night in San diego after zone conference and stayed in a very nice apartment hahaha!!! Didn't get to see hna Worthington tho so that was triste:,((( But we got to see angelica!!!!!! Went to the doctors the next morning and got diagnosed with all my things so that's been fun...they have me on some sleeping pill but it takes me 2 hours at least to fall asleep so I've been trying to take it at like 7 so I can crash but I don't fall asleep til 12 ish most nights....rip ahha.
Friday night we got a call saying we were in quarantine...we thought it was a joke...unfortunately not. Half the mission got put in quarantine because people came to zone conference sick:,(((( but we tested and we are negative. We also failed another test at zone conference as a mission hahaha but that's okay cause now I'm going to study my all time favorite lesson for the next little bit!!! Two fails in 2 days...kinda painful lol. But one was a good fail the other one not so much haha.
Dang I think thats about all I have...I don't remember what else happened....today is hna creer birthday so we are partying!!!!!! wahooooo!!!
This weekend is Edgar's baptism everyone ahaha!!! But we think he may have canceled it again...not sure hahah. We are supposed to have another one this week but that might happen next week.
"anyways....." hmmmm idk haha
i hope you all go relisten to conference bc that was soliddddd!!!! and yeah!
