Hello everyone!
Wow, this week has been amazing. We had TRC lessons (basically real lesson with a real investigator) with this super sweet lady named Hely and ah! I love her so much! Sadly Hna. Carreon is leaving tomorrow and I'm moving on to visitors center training so we have to pass her on to some other elders, but I know they'll do a good job of keeping her progressing!
So I'm going to have two P-days this week. One is today which is my normal P-day, but when I switch to visitors center training it will be on Friday. Then I leave Tuesday, so you probably won't hear from me until my first Monday in the mission field. So it's great for this week, but next week not. I love all you guys though and know I'll be thinking of you!
This week in the MTC Elder Bednar came and gave a worldwide devotional to all the MTC's. Wow, there is nothing more powerful than seeing an apostle in the flesh, and actually speak words in the place where you can hear words being spoken. Anyway, he talked more about how to read more thoroughly into general conference talks. He listed out that he writes out three columns, one for Doctrine, one for the Promised blessings of that Doctrine, and then the Invitation to act. I invite you all to look through this past conference and use this method when analyzing, so we all can be more receptive of the actions we need to take. I loved how he described it, "These general conference talks should be your walk and your talk for the next six months, until the next round of conference talks."
Hna. Noyes and I were part of choir, so we got to sing "Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer" before the devotional (thank you Mother, for making me do choir). Really and honestly it was so beautiful and I'm so grateful we had the chance to do that. Even if I didn't sing in conference, I got to sing for an apostle, so that's worth something.
We also got to host for the new missionaries and I hosted two girls. One of them had a van full of family members, all crying and loving each other. When they said goodbye they all huddled together and chanted "family hug, Family Hug, FAMILY HUG!" which was was fun to witness.
Also, Hna. Noyea and I performed this week for the new missionaries. That was great, loads of missionaries with red dots on their nametags (that's how you know they're new), kept recognizing us, so we're basically famous. Just kidding! Also, Sister Bates (Kiana) came the day I sang, so I got to say hi to her and I see her a lot in the cafeteria which is awesome! Unfortunately, she has the picture of us. See if you can hook up with her mom and get that picture!
We went to the temple again which was really amazing. It is such a blessing to have the temple so close by and go weekly. Also, we had infield orientation, which is where they basically took all the missionaries leaving and explained how to do technical things in the field, but ah, I am soooo excited to go to the field. But, I still have one more week. All my district is leaving, so I'll be transferred to another one and be a solo missionary, which will be super sad, but wish me luck in all my visitors center learnings!
I love you all and hope you have a good week! I'll email again on Friday!

| Funny story with this picture. I was trying to be fancy and take a cool photo of my nametag on the water fountain, but the water was pushing it and I caught a picture of it just before it fell in the fountain. There were bars underneath, so thank goodness it fell flat. Never again will I try to do fancy things with my nametag. |
