Soccer Slide Tackle Skinned Knee :) - Week Of Zone Conference & The Visitors' Center - So Many Tours! - A Piece Of The Temple Everywhere I G

 


We had zone conference in person again! Still wearing masks, but I've now had 2 zone conferences in person! So crazy! It's so fun to see so many people. I forgot how social I am and how much I thrive off the energy of others. Our mission is finally starting to be able to do things with each other! Like today, we got to have a zone activity and we decided to place soccer. Obviously, I thought it was a fantastic idea because I've spent so many years playing that beautiful game. Well, turns out I was super excited to do things with people again and I slide tackled someone and I ripped up the skin on my knee. It was dripping blood. What a good time. It seemed like everyone was concerned about it except for me ahah! I just wanted to get back to the game :)

We were in the VC so much last week that my only memories from last week other than zone conference is at the VC. We took soooooooo many people on tours. Members and non members. It's so fun to have that super unique way of being a missionary. I love being able to use all the tools that we have there to help me teach about the gospel! Everyone loves it in the Visitors' Center. Not to mention we have a gorgeous temple just hanging out outside :) 

We had a chance to show a few non members the rooms inside the temple and to teach them about the temples. It's funny, each one of them were in awe as they looked at the rooms. It's amazing to me that we can feel the spirit of the temple even when we aren't inside. Obviously, it's a little different when we are actually inside, but that doesn't mean that we can feel the spirit of the temple when we aren't inside! Something cool that my Nana taught me in my first transfer in California is that I have a piece of the temple everywhere I go. And when I have that, I can feel the power and the spirit of the temple. I'm so thankful for the temple. It's been cool to have it be such a huge part of my mission, serving so much on temple grounds. I've gained a very strong testimony of the temple and the things that are done inside. 

It's all true. The temple. The church. The book. It's all true. 

Love you all!
