Hi everyone!!
This last week was SO amazing!!
We were crazy busy like always but we were able to teach some really
cool lessons this week!
We were able to meet with Bongani twice and it was great! And the
best part.... we invited him to be baptized and he said yes!!!!!! Ahhhhh!!! Sister
F and I did a little happy dance when we got back to the car after the lesson ha-ha!
He's just so solid and I love it! Whenever we teach he is so engaged and asks
really meaningful questions and you can tell it's not something he's taking
lightly! At the end of our last lesson with him on Thursday we asked him to say
the prayer at the end and he said "God, thank you for sending my sweet
sisters so me" so sweet I wanted to cry...and when he finished he told us
that was the first time he had ever prayed in English!! It was the most sincere
and amazing prayer I've ever heard and it just makes me feel so happy :) missionary
work is AWESOME!

We also had splits this week! So I went with another sister
missionary to her area about 30min away for 24hrs. It just helps us get
practice working with other people in other areas and gives us a break from our
companion (not that I need it sister f and I are like soul sisters) the missionary
I was with is named Sister Gibb and she is the best. Her area is VERY different
from St. Augustine, and we spent basically the whole time I was there walking
and knocking doors in these super nice neighborhoods. We hadn't had much
success and we had about 5min left in the area before we needed to take me back
to St. Augustine. We decided to knock on one more door and this guy answered
and ended up being interested and we taught him the whole first lesson right
there on his doorstep! It was crazy and a miracle and I was so glad to end the
trade off on a high note!

I’m really excited for this upcoming weekend because it's General Conference!!!
For those of you who don't know what that is it's a live broadcast that is
shown world wide every April and October where the Prophet and other church
leaders speak! It happens twice and year and it's always so amazing!! I love
getting to listen and I always have my questions answered...if anyone wants to
check it out I highly recommend :) to get ready for conference I have been
reading a talk from the last session (back in April) everyday during my
personal study time. One of my favorite quotes from the Prophets talk last time
has been on my mind a lot this week, he said
"May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever
choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong. As we contemplate the decisions
we make in our lives each day-whether to make this choice or that choice- if we
choose Christ, we will have made the correct choice" -Thomas S Monson
