10/7/13: Week of Lots of Thoughts...

I'm constantly amazing by how many crazy people there are in the world...is this all that we're capable of these days?? It makes me so sad sometimes but also just frustrated that people can't be raised in better environments...thank you for the gospel of Jesus Christ!!!

At some point we'll get Nacho started on her mission papers. As soon as bishop reappears. I haven't seen him in at least three weeks...uh...?

KAITLYN WHERE ARE YOU GOING?????????????????? WISCONSIN, RIGHT???? :P

Exchanges are so much fun I love going out with all the sisters :) And we are able to focus on our area and get things done! I feel like life is so busy when me and sister Newton are together we don't even have time to take care of our area...bleh...but the goals are set. Hopefully we can see them through!

Uh...Quentin is our miracle boy. We met with him twice last week and one of them was just so he could ask us questions. The questions ended up being like, "How do YOU deal with trials?" and stuff that's totally not doctrinal but just gave us the chance to tell him all about the Christlike qualities this church allows us to develope...Love him :) Plus, he came to two sessions of general conference and he's playing volleyball with us this week, and meeting for another lesson! He's soooo solid. I love sincere people :)

Sometimes I feel like I need to be a superhero. There are like...literal lives at stake here! And sometimes it's really hard but I love that the Lord trusts me to do it...So I try my best and I'm so grateful the Lord gives me the words to speak and comforts me when I need it :)

We had interviews with President this week! I love being able to talk with him :)

We also had Leadership Council.. (no wonder we didn't get anything done this week...)...it was a blast! President chews out the ZLs so much, hardcore...but it helps us all to grow and work harder and be better and it all makes me so excited to share the joy of this work with the other missionaries! Let's light a fire under Wisconsin!

So how did everyone like General Conference?? It was AMAZING. I seriously didn't even get tired during a single one of the talks...I could do that all week! SOO good. Personally, I really loved Christoffersons and Hollands (I didn't expect to like either of them at the beginning, but I guess that's what makes these guys so amazing!) And also Eyring!! And whoever taught about being a good teacher. So much gold in all of them. Can I have the Ensign yet??

So. Busy. I feel like we're always running sometimes, and other times I feel like we could do so much more! I love Sister Newton--we understand each other perfectly and we teach together soo soo well :) Here we come, world! Bring it on!!!

I hope all of y'all are having a fantastic time too :) I am so grateful every day to be able to be a missionary :) It's slipping away fast! I'm trying to treasure every moment :) I'm not even halfway done and yet I feel like I'm going to run out of time any second! How does that work??

Sister Newton and I are pretty positive we'll both be here for at least one more transfer. Even though the transfer just started...I just like to plan ahead :) Then more exciting stuff will probably start happening! Haha. Love it.

Love you!!
