🌊 🚫 🕊

Happy Monday everyone! Another week down on the mish and it was pretty chill, it flew by that's for sure.

Tuesday we got to do a mini exchange with our STL's and it was so much fun! I was with Sister Adams (not my old comp) and I learned a lot. We talked to some really cool people. I also got peed on by a dog, rip lol.

Wednesday I have my final interview with my mission president. I didn't realize it was my last one till he asked if I wanted a departing blessing, going home is getting real and I don't know how I feel about it.

Wednesday we met with our new friend Sylvia for the first time and we put her on date for baptism! She is so prepared! She is reading the Book of Mormon and is reading scriptures with us while on vacation. I'm so sad I'm gonna miss her baptism. I'm so excited for her though! 

Thursday I was asked if I was a Latina after inviting a guy to church in Spanish (inviting people to church is the only Spanish I know but apparently I'm good at faking it lol) We also accidentally went to Anacostia (the one area sisters aren't allowed to go to) but we didn't even leave the metro and met a really cool person from it.

Friday we went to the temple and it was so good! We had some zoom lessons which went well. Then we had dinner with one of the elder's new members and she made lamb chops and they were so good! We then had a super fun relief society activity, it was good getting to know the ward better.

Sunday I was asked to give a little talk in church, I think it went well. 

For pday today we are doing a tour of the Capitol! I'm excited!

Spiritual Thought:

In my talk on Sunday I shared Alma 7:11-13

"11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.

12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities.

13 Now the Spirit knoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the flesh that he might take upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me."

Another word for "succor" is comfort. I am so grateful knowing that Christ Atoned for me to know how to comfort me in those times of need, he did that for all of you too!

Love you all!
