Wonderful

These past 2 weeks have been Wonderful!

Interfaith - Last week I got to help decorate the Nutrition Center for Christmas! It was a blast putting up the tree and hanging ornaments from the ceiling. I also went and served there on Friday. Friday was one of the 3 days that donors that Adopted a Family got to come and drop off the presents. I helped out in the process by helping unload stuff, then marking and packing the gifts in red and green bags, It was so awesome to see the generosity of so many people and organizations. This past Monday I got to organize all the gift/donations that came in that were not for a specific family, just for whoever needs them. I spent the whole day organizing, but being the crazy OCD kinda person that I am came in real handy ;)

Habitat for Humanity - Last week I helped put in headers (for framing). And this week I got to do touch up work because... 3/4 Homeowners hopefully are moving in as I speak!!! The final walk through was Wednesday so I've been crossing my fingers and praying that all went well and they get to move in (especially before the holidays)

Temple - Has been so amazing and busy! Since it is getting closer to Christmas I can definitely tell that there have been more visitors. But also the Christmas lights are beautiful and so fun to go and see at night. It is a great way to go and feel close to the Savior as we celebrate his birth this holiday season.

Family History  - I have loved working on the new project Salt Lake gave us to work on. The "Yes or No" project that helps them put more records into their system. And this week we did something a little different, we went and served! We went and visited 2 people and caroled to them!

Institute - We had an amazing class this week on the Plan of Salvation and D&C 76 I learn something new everyday in that class and am grateful for Brother Peterson and the awesome teacher he is as well as all the preparation!

Mission Conference - Camp Wildwood was on a little bit of a hold this week as we had Mission Conference! This conference was a Temple mission conference. So we met at a nearby Stake center and were taught by some of our mission leaders, we then all got assignments as to what part of the temple we would be in. I absolutely LOVED it. Being in the temple with the missionaries and feeling their love was empowering and I loved being able to worship inside the temple with them!

Setting Apart - I got to attend a new sisters setting apart, Sister Branson's. I am so excited to have her in the mission. She is such a ray of sunshine and is so fun to talk to! She loves the gospel and you can tell by her smile that she is SO excited to serve in this mission.

I am so grateful to be able to serve in this mission. I have seen so much these past 2 week how aware our Heavenly Father is of everyone of His Children. And how serving blesses so many lives!
