Did you take notes or just listen? I did take notes and lots of them. it is different being on a mission, I got all kinds of revelation for me, my comp, members, less-actives, and investigators. So cool!
Do you watch as a whole zone or mission or what? It was showing at our stake center so we went there and there were about 12 other missionaries there. it was really fun and we got to know other missionaries well. plus there is a family in the OKC 1st ward. (right between Quail Creek and OKC 3rd haha) who serve the missionaries lunch every conference. they are so awesome!
Did you have a favorite talk? I really like Elder Bednars. his was amazing! I really like President Uchtdorfs at the Womens Broadcast as well as in the General Session. I also really liked L. Tom Perrys talk. Oh they were all just sooo good haha
Were any of your less actives or investigators able to watch? We had 2 less-actives watch it, 2 investigators (chloe and tanner) and then 5 Recent converts watched it as well. so cool
how was this weeks relationship evaluation? are things going OK now? Well, Monday was really rough. Elder Whitehead kept beating up on me so I almost swung at him... then decided to be Christ like and walked away instead. Elder Ross actually turned away cuz he thought I would really hit him haha. then that night I got a call from sis Stew saying that our less-active friend Kelly had passed away that afternoon... I was speechless... then the elders called us and wished me a happy 4 month anniversary.... worst day ever! but it slowly got better throughout the week which is good ;}
Kelli's funeral was last Friday, the... 3rd of Oct.. and it was a catholic funeral.. it was really interesting cuz as the preacher was talking, the missionaries who went (sis stew, sis gubler, sis moore and myself) could pick out the holes in what he was talking about and could fill them with the Gospel. but it was really good.
you mentioned Sis Moore can't ride a bike and health issues...can you get specific? and how are you doing health wise? She has exercise induced asthma. so she doesn't like biking for long periods of time. but I have made her bike a little bit and go at her pace so that might help out haha
Did Elder he who shall not me named ever actually apologize? Yes. he apologized Monday night over text and thenThursday afternoon in person in a very large comp inventory we were having with the Zone Leaders, our elders, us and the Sister Training Leaders. that was rough too. we got chastised over and over again for being friends.... one of the Sister Training Leaders (STLs for short) told us that we are not on our mission to make friends. we are all coworkers here to do the Lords work. which is true. but we are also here to make friends and work together with the missionaries and the members and you cant work together if you don't trust each other.... it was weird...
How are your studies going? They are going pretty well. I am over half way through the book of Mormon and I am reading in Matt 27 tomorrow for studies. I think studies is what keeps me sane with all the high school drama that is going on our here haha
What did you learn this week that helped prepare you for either teaching or for conference?Sister Moore let me borrow her talks and I was reading a talk by Elder Holland called "in Times of Trouble" and it was amazing! I recommend you all read it. it is really good and very applicable to any circumstance.
when did you feel the most loved? during conference! almost every talk I would think to myself and say "man I really needed to hear that today" and it made me realize how much our Heavenly Father knows us and knows what we need in our times of trouble. I love conference!
I love you all and miss you like crazy! we had picture day today with the elders while we were waiting for our clothes to finish washing and drying. I had lots of fun learning about there families and friends and I loved bragging about you all to them as well ;}
-Love Sister Meagan!
