34th Letter

Can i just say that conference was amazing!! woop woop!

 

So this past week has been insanely strange. like not in events or nothin but in... the spirit? just so w'ere all clear, i cant remember much of anything without lookin back in my planner... hahaha oh dear. there was this one woman who told me how age messes with peoples brain. then i thought, if it is already messed up like hers... what will mine be like when Im her age?!?! nope not gonna say it! except that I'm not gonna get old :) hurray!! hahaha So the weather is purdy nice down here! its coolin off a wee bit so its not a huge wave of nasty sauna heat lol, its a cool warm sauna heat so its much better then earlier in the year! woop woop!

So i have a funny story. for some reason this transfer has been slow. slow getting the work moving but we are moving forward! so at district meeting, we were talking about missionaries in BoM and their attributes. Ammon and Amulek, Alma, Moroni, etc. and then some of the attributes were kindness, dilligence, humility, faith etc then one that came up was happiness! in pres email last week it was about smiling and how people want to be more like others who smile and are happy! then one set of elders in the ward im in (cuz there are 10 missionaries in the ward :/)  and they said that the greatest example today of happiness was me and sis H... what?? haha they were like "we were at a members house and they just talked about you too! and how happy and fun you both were! hahaha then a different set of elders said, hey that happened to us too at a dinner apt!! WHAA? People are talking about us!! it made me feel a bit better, people really do notice us. and people are watching, if we're not happy with where we are, with what we're doing, with why we're doing it. why would anybody else want to be a part of the work we're doing?? my point made :) it was definitely a highlight of the century!! Then on another day we were walking to go buy a new map for our area and we saw our friend Glen! we referred him to 4th ward elders. but we see him sometimes! he is an older black man with one leg in a motorized wheelchair. and the way we started to talk to him was because of his hat. it said God is Good. i love Jesus!! (so many Jesus things down here! its awesome) but he is so awesome!!! he is the sweetest man alive! he saw us and he was like! oh please just kidnap me and marry me!! hahaha he is just the sweetest, funniest guy! hahahaha we said we would if we could because that would be a funny time, kidnaping him...? but he is so funny! one of the other things he said was about how he just wants to get married. and then he said "excuse my language, (me and sis H were like oh no) I just wanna help make a baby!!" hahahaha he wants to leave some part of him in the world. so cute huh!!! glen is our friend :)

SO now lets talk about conference. In the relief society confrence 2 weeks ago. that was so awesome!!!! i love all the stories i took so many notes! then this general conference. when the prophet said he was ganna write that it was the most spiritual conference he had ever been to in his journal. i second that notion! i loved conference! the power was immense! and it was felt all over!! holy cow!! i love jeffrey R Hollands talk on saturday. and i loved all of them! i just loved them all!! conference makes me so happy! i just had been thinking about how much i want to be a missionary. i hit my 8 month mark yesterday :/ strange... how much do i lean on the Lord? How much is this gospel in my life? will it continue when i become a part of it again? blah!!! so many spiritual emotions running through me! lol so much! but i am learning more and more about how much this gospel is true. especially down here in the south. so many churches and people are saying they're the true church, that they know the way to heaven. a lot of bible bashers. so what makes us different? why are we any different when we're saying the same thing? well because Jesus Christ Himself is at the head of the church. not a man who wants to be close to Jesus. Christ himself who died for us! Christ who loves each of us more then we will ever know. Christ who weeps with us and laughs with us. never has he left his sheep alone! my spirit is still growing. and its definitely being pushed harder now. satan is so real ya'll. so real its freaky. good thing we're on the Right Side!! haha Never give up. Look ahead Look up! haha conference was incredible! this gospel seriously is true. truer than toast ma friends. truer than toast. look at the bigger pic! it will blow you mind! God is real!! I love yall!

LOVE
Sis Milne the awesomest!

 P.S. sis hamilton is making me sing in sacramment meeting with her. no one knows it yet... :(
