Agents to Act

 Okay I think I did a little better at journaling this week. Tuesday We had our service project today which was so awesome! Hahaha it was kinda last minute but I was determined to help this poor family out. For crying out loud they have a swimming pool under their bed because of the flooding. Anyway so I was a little bold and just bought pipe and hoped it was long enough and bought a mesh grate to block any big icky wickies from clogging it in the future. And then we went and ordered a cubic meter of gravel and had it shipped to her house. Then we started digging and laid the pipe down, then covered it in gravel then put gravel around the very muddy parts so now it looks very nice. . . but I don't have the after pics I forgot sorry, haha. Anyway such a solid day.

 So sorry this is another not so good journaling week hahaha. It's just so hard to find time at night when you get home at 8:30 and you still have to call referrals, record the day, cook and eat dinner, shower, journal and then try to be in bed sleeping before 10:00. So usually I just don't have time to journal which is unfortunate. There is some sad stories that'll go at the end of this email, imma need y'alls help! I'll put it at the end so you have to read everything, or you can just skip to the second to last paragraph if you want. But first let me tell you about our fun this week, haha. So we had clean checks like Wednesday and (sensitivity alert!!! Might be TMI for some parties) so now that I've put that warning in there I'm free to share EVERYTHING😀hahahaha so one of the Elders clogged our toilet the morning before clean checks (I didn't know it was clogged till the morning of clean checks😅) Anyway idk how he managed to clog it because we don

Well this week was super busy and I actually had no time to journal so sorry y'all you don't get the day by day play this time. Don't worry though I'll still say some stuffff. First off let's talk about General Conference!!! Sooo gooood! I don't know if it's just because I'm on my mission and I had hyper focus on it or if it was just so amazing this time. Either way if you haven't, give it a listen. . . do it like nowww, soooo good. I found like 8 major themes that kept being repeated and so I'll share them with you and how many talks mentioned it. Yeah so here's what I got 😁 1.) Love and live like Jesus so there's no doubt you represent Him : I found 11 talks that mentioned this 2.) How important the Temple is in our lives : 10 talks on this 3.) This is a Gospel of Joy : 8 talks 4.) Don't be self centered or prideful/ do it God's way not yours : 9 talks 5.) We have trials for our benefit : 7 talks 6.) We're never lower than
