A Million Saturdays at the Temple! - Jun 4

Hey Mom!
Sorry for the super crazy week last week! That was a disaster haha. Don't worry, this week I have lots of materials and a decent amount of time! I sent you a couple things already including a voice recording and a recording of the song we performed in sacrament meeting! It's really fun to play!

Surprising that has gotten me into playing the piano a bit more! I can sight read (pretty slowly) a fair amount of hymns now! I remember some kind of deal with a dollar per song 😉

Yes, I do read through your emails and try to respond to everything. I guess different things about what you say pop out to me than what they do to you, I always try to respond to the biggest things! Emailing is stressful though haha I gotta write a novel in barely any time! I love it though and I love getting to feel close to you for a little bit. Thank you for all the effort you put into what you say and send me, I really appreciate it :)

I had a very distinct impression when President Uchtdorf came actually. He was telling the members to stay where they are and build up the church in Germany. He said we don't need more Mormons in Utah haha! But that struck me as well. I really want to live in an area where I can help build up the church. That may be Minnesota or that region or something. It just kinda hit me like, right! I'm not supposed to live in Utah. I made in through my teenage years not surrounded by Mormons, I know how it feels, I want to support those people! Maybe we could convince the boys to come do the same. Maybe we'll have an Ingalls branch or something hehehe

President Uchtdorf in Germany and there's me on the left! Such a great day!

That's cute you get to hang out with Sara more often! When does she go back to work? Are you excited to start watching the baby?

I think we should do some online shopping together. I can't order stuff but you can send me screenshots? 😂 I just need some summer dresses, all my clothes are so hot!! I just can't find anything reasonably priced and modest! The shoes are impossible too. Everything is a sandal! It's taking up too much of our precious time so I think I'll just look like a hobo this summer..

I put the nametag in the package for you :) it should be getting there this week! Remember, bigger one for you, smaller one for Rachel, I sent her a message about it!

Yeah, I miss you and would rather send voice messages I'm not good at emailing and I feel like I'm writing for a blog or something haha

I had an interesting week too! At  the hospital! Poor sister N (Sister H comp that came from Turkey with Sister B) she's been struggling with migraines. Except its definitely more than that. She suddenly got a migraine, collapsed and went in and out of consciousness. It was super scary. We got a member to take us to the hospital and then we ended up hanging out in the emergency room the majority of the day. We had district meeting there, it was pretty funny!

She spent 3 days in the hospital. Sister H couldn't stay there overnight so we'd go pick her up and have a sleepover in the living room with us 3! It was so fun!! We slept with the balcony door open, it was greeeat. It's so hot here.

Sister Baldock got a call Thursday morning saying shes invited to MLC! That was a good surprise! So she's going to be my new STL comp! That'll be so nice. It was hard to have 2 half companions this transfer, one for the area and one as stls. Very confusing who my comp was haha! It taught me lots of good communication!

MLC was so good and inspiring. It's arguably my favorite meeting besides interviews. I received so many ideas with how to help our sisters, the Spirit was inspiring me over and over again! We are going to have fun this transfer.

Saturday was AMAZING. Having Sabrina at the temple was a remarkable experience. She felt the spirit strongly. The temple tour was super good, I kinda wish I got to do temple tours! I learned as well! The temple is evidence of the restoration, because God always revealed to His prophets during the dispensations how to build and run temples!

Sunday was good too. I stayed home with Sister N because she'd been released from the hospital, but got sick from it or something and could not stop throwing up. That poor thing. We had church together (it was pretty funny and tooooootally spiritual. Kinda) and let her rest. I studied German again, that was nice. I love that language. Later in the afternoon, President and Sister Fingerle came over to visit! It was so sweet. They talked and laughed and it felt so good to be around them. They even brought us canned peaches and snickers 😂 I love them. He gave her a blessing and comforted all of us as well. They are super special to me, I love and sustain them whole heartedly!

Your calling sounds exciting! That bulletin board is going to look so good, keep me updated with how it looks! And achievers! Are there a lot of them? I can't believe Jillian is going to be 8 that's insane.

I love you a million Saturdays at the temple!
