So Sister's Conference was this week. And that is a magical meeting. President Porter and Sister Porter taught us about the doctrine of being a woman and being a daughter of God. We also had a lot of fun and feel so blessed that that was able to happen this transfer.</div>

Plus I got to see Sister Kenison and Sister Peatross and Sister Jones and all of my friends there and that just made it all the better. Plus Sister Keim plays the violin too and so we played "Redeemer" by Paul Cardall. Sister Huber played the cello and Sister Tucker played the piano. It brought the spirit in SO strong and God definitely helped out with pulling that one together since we had the night before to make it happen.</div>

The Spauldings are a family from Muncie that I love (: and Sister Spaulding's brother lives in Kettering and so they came down for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1564683143" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> dinner yesterday and that was really fun. It was also really special since I spent so much time with the Spauldings and they were actually my first meal in Muncie. And so my first and my last on my mission! (Heavenly Father worked that one out since he knows how cliche I am!)</div>

I know that my Redeemer lives. I know now more than ever before that He is my Best Friend. That He comes and comforts me. That the Atonement is personal and that it applies to me, Sister Brown, individually. And because of that He will always help me to take another step closer to my Heavenly Father and becoming like Him. I know that because of the trials that I have faced here and been able to overcome. They have been unique to me and the way He has helped me through them has been unique to me. I am stronger because of my faith in Jesus Christ. But I know that the process that I went through is not unique to me. That He will carry each one of us. That there is hope for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1564683144" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> because we can all fall on our knees and ask for His help. He is always there.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I received revelation this week on why it can be so hard to get out of be in the morning. 2 Nephi 24:12. There you have it folks. That is why!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this week has been crazy! We had exchanges with both the areas of sisters are are over BACK TO BACK. It was nuts. Just putting all of your thoughts into how you can help the sisters in a 24 hour period is kind of nuts! But it was really great. The sisters that we are over are the best and I learned a lot about myself and also the skills I have gained on my mission. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Siste Keim has this thing. It's called "I love to put fabric over my head". I literally had to ask her how much of her life has been spent with her head under a blanket or scarf or hoodie.... Haha but now we have "Thinking Turbans". When you really need to connect with God, just slip your scarf onto your head. #problemsolved</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week we have lots of exciting things. We will have another exchange and then the SISTERS CONFERENCE will be on Thursday. I am SO excited about that! Last year was SO much fun. So I am excited that we get to do it again!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well I'm gonna go party with my zone at the park this week. </div>

There is so much to say and not enough time! This week FLEW by! So we had leadership council </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1587758370" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> of last week and that was really fun to be there and it was also a really spiritual experience! I learned a LOT about the Sabbath day and why I personally go to church. And then we had zone meetings this past week also! Dayton and Middletown and they were also super spiritual experiences! </span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So we have conference calls at night sometimes to say "family prayer" before bed and to have a role call and make sure everyone is on the call we ask a question. And the question the other night was "What is your love language?" And that was super funny because Elders can't take anything seriously after <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1587758371" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">9pm</span></span> and so their answers were a bit ridiculous.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We also are having a 40 day fast as a zone to help us give up something so that we can see miracles in our work more. And so I realized that my addiction to Mountain Dew Baja blast was probably not the greatest thing in my life. So that is what I chose to give up! (:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Then Labor Day was probably the funnest day of my whole mission! We had a finding challenge and we did a zone activity. And since we are over both zones we were able to be with lots of missionaries and find a lot of new friends to teach! Plus there were members out with us taking pictures to post onto Social Media and they also helped us to teach and were powerful influences on the people that we were meeting!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Then yesterday we had interviews with President and Sister Porter but also every missionary had to roleplay the church lesson and as STLs we were helping with that and that was really fun! The assistants in the mission are the best and they just made the day so much fun! Plus it was Elder Seegmiller's birthday so we filled their truck with balloons!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
One thing that I have really learned and been able to think about this week in my work is the importance of people. That when I get really stressed as a missionary it is when I am focused on the numbers and not the people. And then I need to take a step back and see that I am changing lives and that I am making a difference. So that was a good self-evaluation this week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Also I have been thinking a lot about "DOING right, rather than BEING right." And how important that is. You are only 50% of any relationship. But you can give 100% of your 50% to make things work. And that being humble is listening to God's voice and acting on what he tells you to do. It isn't always easy and a lot of the time we will be doing things that we don't want to do. But that HE helps us. HE provides. HE carries us through it and before we know it we are making it through another day.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I know that we can change. That the person we were yesterday does not have to be the person that we are today. And that as we continually change we will become the person that God sent us to become and we will be like Him.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

Amen to that statement! As of right now I have a HUGE bruise on my knee. Bug bites everywhere. The oven door ate my arm and burnt it. I have had this death cough since I have been here and live off of cough drops and cough syrup. Sister Keim is my nurse. And then Sister Keim broke her tooth yesterday! She chipped it Hillary Style as she was biting a pen! </span><br />

We are still chugging along though! The work here is amazing! We are finding so many new friends to teach ALL the time! </div>

Plus this week we did a back to back exchange with the sisters that we are over and it was intense! Both sets of sisters are training and so that was really good to have them come on exchanges I was with the trainer both times and got to talk to them. It brought back a LOT of memories of being in Muncie and training Sister Kenison.</div>

Ohio is so different. This ward is so big and being over two zones is a lot of craziness all the time. But we just keep going! And I received a solid revelation from Heavenly Father this week that He wants me to read the Book of Mormon before this transfer is over! I don't know that I have ever read the Book of Mormon this fast. I usually like to take my time with it but who knows! God told me to and so we will see how it goes! I love the Book of Mormon and I'm excited for it!</div>

The zone leaders are the BEST and the Dayton ZLs left a Brownie Mix for us and the Middletown ZLs left a 12 pack of Baja Blast Mtn Dew (for me) and a pineapple (for Sister Keim). They are the best ever! </div>

So we got the calls today and Sister Jones and I are BOTH leaving Anderson. Elder Wells is going home and so Elder McDade will be the only one staying here. That is kind of exciting but kind of nerve racking at the same time. This will be my last transfer and so I am excited to see where Heavenly Father wants me to be!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So here are some exciting things that have happened this week in Anderson!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So we went to "The Bank" for dinner one day. It was an old bank in Pendleton that has been renovated into a restaurant and everyone here raves about their "breaded tenderloin". Sister Jones and I enjoyed it but didn't rave about it and ultimately decided that it was just a glorified chicken sandwich.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We also helped to hold our first zone meeting as Sister Training Leaders and it went really well! Elder McDade and I trained on Bishop's Reports and it went smoothly. So that was great. Obviously Sister Jones and I were still learning but everyone said that our training was their favorite! So that was nice to hear.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Sister Jones and I have literally been jamming out to music (<a href="http://lds.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">lds.org</a> music...) every day in our Jeep. Yes we drive a Jeep and yes I probably already talked about it but I just love our Jeep. We drove a Jeep in the office too and so it's the best.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Church was literally the weirdest thing of my whole life. This little 4 year old Emma and her teenager sister sat by us and to help her sister out so that she could pay attention we played with Emma. And she had stickers and she proceeded to put stickers all over Sister Jones and my arms. So we had tats for the day. And then we started drawing and she would tell me what to draw.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So we drew a princess. And then a castle. And then a dragon breathing fire with three legs and a flag coming out of its head. She was very specific. Love her.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Love you all! Have a great week and I'll let you know where I am at next week!</div>

So the open house ended <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_893805737" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> and pretty much I feel like my life is over.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
I would end my email there but then Uncle Scott would tell me that my letters are getting short (: haha</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Seriously though. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_893805738" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> was so sad! The Indy missionaries have their transfer meeting <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_893805739" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> and so that was the talk of the day for them and we were just sad we wouldn't be coming back! It has been so great to be on the temple grounds and to see hearts change!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Just this morning we were at Walgreens printing out photos and there was a lady there getting her photos printed from the temple and she knew some members around! Literally it is the best thing ever and so many people are wanting to talk about it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Miracles come from the temple and everyone should go this week!</div>

And sorry for the super late in the day emails... we were at the temple this morning with a part member family and it was so great! And then our district went bowling and Sister Jones creamed everyone! It was so much fun and sometimes I forget how competitive I get. And then we went and got delicious snow cones afterwards. I have not had a snow cone in forever! Last Monday Sister Jones and I went down to Richmond to play soccer with the Elders and their youth and it was really fun.</span><br />

There have been so many miracles with the Indy Temple Open house though! We took our friends the Reber family from the ward and Jacob Reber brought his girlfriend who is not a member but she LOVED the tour and wants to learn more! She is the best! And lots of the people that have been coming through have been so prepared by Heavenly Father to feel the Spirit in His house.</div>

We also had a special meeting with Elder SinClair of the Seventy this week who is over the Indy Temple Open House and we talked about how with a Marvelous Work comes a Mischievous Work.... and that there are protesters and some of them are not even allowed on the church property anymore because of some crazy things. They are helping us to be prepared though and they make sure that we have help in case they come and take a tour and get in our faces or anything. We all just felt super calm about it all though because... news flash!!! God wins!! Heavenly Father wins. We know that! In the end He is the winner and those that fight against Him will have to deal with Him and we all just felt a lot of peace knowing that we are doing His work.</div>

We also had zone conference this week and it was amazing all the revelation that we received! President Porter is so inspired. And it is just fun to be with missionaries for a whole day (: And it was super fun to get to drive through Muncie again and to be at the Muncie building (:</div>

We had a 24th of July PROGRAM. Not a ward activity. A PROGRAM. There was an outline and at first there were ancestor stories shared. And then the kids went on a huge trek out west. They crossed a kiddie pool to be a river. They played a "buffalo chip" toss game (and the pieces they used to play with looked as nasty as buffalo chips are!). They played stick pull and I was really upset to be in a skirt otherwise I would have challenged Sister Jones. And then the whole ward square danced. It was awesome. Plus there was dinner before and ice cream after. It was awesome! </div>

And as we were thinking about our pioneer ancestors this week we heard about the website <a href="http://realitivefinder.org/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">realitivefinder.org</a> and it seriously is the coolest! You can go on there and see how you are related to famous people and also link to other people's accounts and see how you are related to them! It was fun to do with the missionaries.</div>

Welp! I hope that everyone has a great week! And find some time to spend in the temple! It is well worth the sacrifice of your time and even just being on the grounds will change hearts!</div>

Seriously all this transfer consists of is the TEMPLE! It is awesome! This week alone we were at the temple all the time! We were there <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1722024349" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> for a missionary tour and then we got to go last Monday for a special tour with Elder Richards of the Seventy just for the sister missionaries that were going to be working the open house. That was the coolest tour of a temple I have ever been on! He talked about so many amazing things!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
And then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1722024350" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(100, 100, 100); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: pointer; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Friday</span></span> I was able to go to the Columbus Ohio temple because Sister Bonnie Krupa was ENDOWED! It was so special to be there and to see her make those covenants. She was so happy! And we got to sit in while the temple matron talked to her and that was really special too.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
And then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1722024351" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Saturday</span></span> we got to serve at the Indy temple open house and it was so amazing! We saw so many miracles from it and it was a lot of fun too! Seeing so many people and I saw people from Ohio that I knew and I also saw Elder Diaz from high school so it was just a lot of happy reunions and meeting all of their friends that they brought! We also met people who traveled from West Virginia, Florida, Virginia and Chicago to come and to see the temple! It was amazing!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So Elder McDade who is serving in the same ward as us is a piano master. And our ward mission leader asked us to play at the fireside that we had <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1722024352" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> and so I found a violin and we played "Did You Think To Pray?" and it was awesome! And Elder McDade is awesome and accompanying even though he hadn't done it for violin before. (Hillary and Bex you know how that is...) But Sister Jones recorded it for me and so yall can watch that in Utah sometime.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
This week has just been so amazing! We are serving again in the temple and we also have our investigators going with us earlier in the week and we have zone conference <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1722024353" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Wednesday</span></span> and so it is just going to be a super busy spirit filled week!</div>

That was the theme of our zone miracles that we text out this week. And I was transferred into the Anderson Indiana ward with Sister Jones and we had so many old people adventures this week! It was awesome! So Sister Jones and I are both new here in Anderson (this is my 3rd time being doubled in) and we are BOTH new Sister Training Leaders. Basically that means that we have no idea what we are doing 100% of the time. Sister Jones is AMAZING though and helps me out so that I am not overwhelmed and that things go great!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We are serving with Elder McDade and Elder Wells as Zone Leaders and also in our ward and they are awesome! Elder Wells has been a Spanish Elder his whole mission. It's pretty awesome and they are great Elders to work with! So things are going great here in Anderson and the ward is awesome and we were not left much of a teaching pool so we are just going out and talking to everyone!</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We also saw this kid who was riding his bike and drinking Kool-aid and then as we waved while we drove by he spit out his Kool-aid and almost crashed his bike. It was super comical. So many weird things have been happening and we meet so many interesting people. One of our recent converts called us after he got bit by a dog... and then went to the ER. And our apartment had a Pooh Bear shower curtain, rug, TOILET SEAT COVER, and trash can. Sister Jones and I couldn't handle it so we are remodeling our bathroom. It has just been quite the adventure this week! Oh and we got to make candy leis with a member for the girls that are at girls camp this week! It reminded me of graduation week mom!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
BUT HERE IS THE BEST NEWS EVER! WE GET TO HELP WITH THE INDY TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE! We got to take a preliminary tour yesterday as missionaries and it is my favorite temple! I love it so much! It is so beautiful and unique and we are just going to get everyone there to see it! Plus since we are sisters living close to the temple we get to help with the tours and everything! We are so excited and only 6 sets of sisters in our WHOLE mission get to help with it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Also I have been studying Doctrine and Covenants section 109 where it is the dedicatory prayer on the Kirtland temple and in verse 13 it talks about how anyone who enters onto the threshold of the temple will be able to feel the spirit and know that it is the house of the Lord. HEARTS ARE GOING TO CHANGE! People and families will not be the same because of this event and I know that I am one of them. Even just going through that one time changed and helped to lift my spirits. I love the temple so much and I am so excited to help people to see how it can change their lives!</div>

Sister Jones and I seriously feel SO blessed to be in this area. It is so supportive and of all the sister missionaries in the mission Heavenly Father kept us in the Muncie Stake so that we can be involved the most with this temple!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It was so much fun and the work is on FIRE here as we prepare for the Indinapolis temple open house and dedication! It is so exciting!</span><br />

It is to become the greatest harmonizer who ever lived! Jokes. But I really am trying to figure out how to harmonize to add some fun to our hymns in the morning. This should be an adventure!</span><br />

Anywho things have been going well here in Indiana. Just walking around in the rain talking to everyone about Jesus. It's pretty entertaining. This week we met a guy with about 4 teeth and he was telling us about how scary movies unleash Satan into your home. (hmm... that's a nice though sir, it's good to meet you too!) So then we talked to him about happy things and how the Holy Ghost makes us feel good inside instead of unleashing Satan.... he said he was going to return the movies to his friend... (alright there! haha) oh the people you meet as a missionary. It's awesome!</div>

This week we also helped pack up one of our favorite families. Their girls are literally my favorites and Sister Hills is one of the Six Sisters (they have a cute blog and cookbooks and stuff) and I just love their family! It was hard to say goodbye to them and let them move to Texas... </div>

Oh man okay so I am not going to be "that" missionary that writes this big ol' long letter and makes you wait for a long time without telling you that <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>I AM BEING TRANSFERRED AND I AM TRAINING!!!</b></span> Yes, that does mean that I will be being doubled into my next area and President told me that I am also opening up an area. And I felt SO good as we talked. Not freaked out at all. Sure a little nervous, training a new missionary is a big deal. But I know that this is right. And I know that Heavenly Father is going to help me. This is going to be such an adventure!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1110962181" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Monday</span></span> I cooked an Asian Invasion meal at the Porter's and it was delicious. It satisfied my craving I have had for a year for dad's cabbage and chicken Thai food. So my tummy was really really happy. And all the Elders in the ward liked it too. President Porter loves international food and he was thrilled with everything.</div>

This week was also Floral <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1110962182" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> and there were these rockin' tights at Target on sale and so I had to get them. I have a love for them. And also this week I got a fun package from my dear family in Malad! So thanks for the cutest sweater ever Cobabe fam!! Love it!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
And my district leader Elder Seegmiller is literally the coolest person ever and I was feeling inadequate about my finding so I asked him if we could have a training during district meeting about finding. He said only if we would agree to do whatever he asked us to do. I agreed but my companions said they weren't sure (aka no). But then we haven't have district meeting for the past two weeks because of specialized training and zone meeting and so Elder Seegmiller arranged for us to go on exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders and we had a finding adventure! I was with Sister Christensen and we literally just were talking to everyone on the streets of the ghetto and trying new finding techniques. I learned SO much. It was a great training and I know that it will help me with my training adventures!</div>

The assistants pranked me on April Fools day. Which was also my year mark of being in the field. So many memories of my first day in Muncie Indiana. My trainer had dyed the milk green to try and freak me out but I was so out of it anyways I didn't even notice! haha (: And that I taught my first lesson that day. Or more like sat in on my first lesson seeing as I was too scared to open my mouth. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Also on that April first day the assistants called me while we were out to lunch after a lesson and said that they had left a green sticky note on my desk with some information that an Elder needed pronto. I said we would be back from lunch in 45 minutes and then would get it before we went to our next lesson. They called 10 minutes later saying that they needed it RIGHT THEN. So we packed up our lunches and ran to the office. As we were pulling up they sent me a text saying "It's on a GREEN sticky note" and that was when I started getting suspicious. I walk into the office and my desk is covered in green sticky notes.... oh Elders...</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
And then Elder Beckman comes out and they were FILMING the whole thing and my dumb reaction on their go pro! We watched it back and it was super funny because I am kind of a dramatic fool. But it was really embarrassing in the moment. So funny though (: haha those Elders make life so much fun!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So this week we also had specialized training. And it was really great and we talked about studies and teaching and how we can refine to become better. But halfway through the assistants tell us they have an activity they are going to have us do and they will explain the meaning and application behind it later in the training. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So they have us all stand up and they tell us to put our hands in the air and move our tables and chairs around to face the other side of the gym without our hands as fast as we can. So we do it and then we sit down. And the tell us to do it again! To move our chairs and tables back how they originally were without our hands. And then once that is all done they just move right along with the training.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
After the meeting as we were driving home I sat there pondering about the training and what I can change to be a better missionary when I realize that they never told us the reason why we did that. So I called them and realized that they just wanted us to look like fools. Sister Porter was taking photos the whole time and I realized after the fact as we were doing it that they kept saying "keep your hands up!!". Our mission is ready for any challenge. Let's just say that. I laughed SO hard at that. The assistants are so funny to me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
It has been a great week and I hope that you all felt the love of our Savior this weekend! I know that He Lives! And Because He Lives we will live again. Because He lives we can overcome the person that we are today and become someone new. I have seen that on my mission. I am not the same frustrated person I was 4 months ago. I no longer want to go home. I want to stay and help those around me. I want to be the Lord's hands here in Ohio. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
There is such joy in life and so much to laugh at! Even if it is just the four year old sitting next to you at family prayer after a lesson growling and saying he wants his legos. That literally happened. Yes Kai you have a Caucasian twin (:</div>

<br />
So we didn't get to write yesterday because we had a lot of things to get together for specialized training that is going on today for the Muncie and Fort Wayne stakes. Ours will be on Thursday. But yesterday for Pday we also had a zone fun day and went to the park and played Ultimate Frisbee and Sand Volleyball. It was super fun! And I also got a little tan so that was fun.<br />
<br />
We also went to Jungle Jim's with Sister Porter to buy some ingredients because Sister Low cooked a Scottish feast last night for the missionaries in the ward at the Porter's house. Jungle Jim's is pretty much an international food store. You can literally buy anything there. It is HUGE! It was really fun to spend some time with Sister Porter. She is the best. And Sister Low made this delicious soup that I could probably eat for the rest of my life. And President Porter was super happy because he went on his mission to Scotland and so he kept making comments about how he felt at "home" eating the Scottish food (:<br />
<br />
This week has been fun. The women's session of conference was AMAZING and I learned tons from it! I hope that everyone is pumped for General Conference this week because it is going to be amazing! Email me with your favorite part!<br />
<br />
The work is going well here and missionary life is awesome!<br />
<br />

Last Monday it was GORGEOUS weather. The warmest it has been in a while. And so we got permission to go downtown and go to the top of Carew tower which is the tallest tower in Cincinnati (: And it was so amazing! Seeing everything and it had just been raining buckets and so the river is overflowing. Like there were streets that we could see across the river in Newport Kentucky that were just going off into the river!</div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
We also had an emergency call this week that a missionary was having to go home for a little bit while our companion Sister Low was on exchanges and so Sister Porter and I ran down to the Kentucky Airport. We had to deliver her renewed license to her that had been sent to me at the office and we were just going to do it at interviews, but then she needed it that day and so we took a road trip. Traffic was AWFUL and I got bored and so I started putting skittles in my mouth and seeing how many I could hold in there and still be able to whistle (: It was super weird being in an airport but I complimented a girl who was on a layover and we talked to her for a time. Airports are the best place to catch people because they literally have nothing else to do but sit there. Abby was super nice!</div>

<span style="color: black;">I also got this really awesome package from my daddio that had only TONS of Oreos in it. Let's just say that my tummy has been really happy and that we had to buy another gallon of milk (: AND a package from my mamma with a super cute Ohio shirt and a hula girl key chain! AND a package from the Boyle family!! AND a letter from Hillary with emoji songs to figure out! I have the best family ever!!!! (:</span></div>

OH! And we went and helped a less active member clean out her old house because they have moved and are selling it and so we helped her scrub down the floors and walls and kitchen. But in her son's room there were glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. But all the furniture was gone... So we put our heads and bodies together and I climbed upon Sister Porter's shoulders (imagine at this moment Matt Meese being the shoulder devil) it was awesome. And OF COURSE we captured it in selfie mode.</div>

So the theme of the week has been "Do it for the Journal Entry" which is half a joke because none of us write in our journals... I should do better at that... #repentance</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Journal Entry #1<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806384" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> we go over to President's house for the conference call (perks of serving in Western Hills) and before it starts I was telling Sister Porter about this rash that I have had (long story short I'm fine) so then Elder Seegmiller tells me that he knows the home remedy for rashes as he walks to the spice rack. At this point all I can think of is Googles putting cayenne pepper into your eyes to help with your sinus infections...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So he pulls out the cinnamon and tells me that a spoonful of cinnamon will cure any rash. And I know that he is just kidding and trying to do the cinnamon challenge... so he talks me into it a little bit and I agree so we load up our spoons and Sister Porter grabs her camera to record it and we do the cinnamon challenge! Dang. It BURNS! I couldn't taste anything for a solid 12 hours. It all tasted like cinnamon and BURNED! My ears killed and I was involuntarily crying. It was awesome. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Journal Entry #2</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806385" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Tuesday</span></span> the Elders come into the office with a bottle of doterra peppermint essential oils and Elder Beckman says that we should all put it under our eyes on our cheek bones to see what it feels like. So we all put it on there and it BURNS! I literally could not open up my eyes from how much it hurt and my eyes were watering like crazy! We tried having a staring contest and it was the most painful thing I have done! haha (: It made for another great video though! And while we were doing Elder Beckman throws out there that the bottle specifically says NOT to put it near your eyes...</div>

Journal Entry #3</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806386" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> we had ZONE MEETING and my zone is so much fun right now! So we played this super fun game during zone meeting as part of our training on finding and talking to everyone. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So one person in the companionship is an investigator and one is the missionary. And the missionaries go and walk the halls while the gators decide which missionary is going to be "theirs". And the point of the game is for the missionary to find and get a return appointment with "their" gator. And the gators are supposed to reject everyone who is not their missionary.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So we start playing and all the gators are running around in costumes and playing really funny parts. One elder grabbed the cub scout flag and book from a classroom and is pretending to be a boy scout. Two Elders got the wheel chair and some funny hats and were being old war veterans. The sisters were more tame and just texting or reading books. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
So I start talking to everyone and Elder Gibb is one of the old war veterans and he was pretty grouchy. So I try talking to the sisters and they "reject" me and so after I have talked to everyone I feel like everyone rejected me! So then I just decide to try everyone again. But by this time a lot of people already have found "their" person. And the only people that are left are the war veteran grandpas. And they were kind of intimidating! Even as missionaries. And so I go to talk to the grouchy men and one of them ends up being "my" gator but I am such an awkward human being that I am so glad it was a missionary and not a real old man. </div>

But this is the journal entry for <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806388" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span>. And our ride fell through. No ride for us. We call and text EVERYONE in the ward and NOTHING. Nada. Zilch. We had no idea how we were going to get to the temple. So then our awesome STL's call and say that they are catching a ride with the Fairfield sisters and that they have two extra seats. And the assistants were going with our Bishop's wife since there are three of them and so then I called President and we got it approved that I could go with Bishop's wife and Sister Porter and Sister Low would go with the other sisters. It was a crazy night of arranging rides at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806389" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10pm</span></span> at night and then getting up early the next morning so that we could make it to the Louisville temple for the <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_88806390" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">10am</span></span> session!</div>

It was so amazing and it was dumping buckets that day and so I was so grateful that nobody got in an accident and that everyone was safe while driving. And it was such a great experience! The feeling in the temple is like none other. I was just so happy! And excited to be a part of this and to have the restored gospel in my life! It feels so good! I have a testimony of modern and personal revelation too because of the things that I have been learning lately in my scripture study and from the Temple today!</div>

Plus we went over to a member's hosue to teach them this member lesson that our stake president and President Porter have put together and they gave us a sack lunch at the end (: They are so cute.</div>

But this time all the missionaries in the ward (all 8 of us) went and there were like 5 other people from the nursing home there and it was really awesome! Plus I got to go out on splits with my good friend Lauren to teach some lessons and it was awesome to get to talk to her. haha plus she told me that all the girls in the stake have a crush on one of the elders... haha that made me laugh so hard.</div>
