Fragility!

Sorry today is going to be short. We have interviews at our apartments this week, so it's deep clean day hahahaha #somanyspiders

This week has been wonderful! We had a way cool lesson with Lauren. She came to dinner at a members with us and then we talked about priesthood and the temple. It was so cool! We watched a clip from last conference from Bonnie Oscarson where she gets super bold and just lays it out that if this church is true it IS the way to Christ. And all the blessings that come with that. And Lauren LOvED it! She will be out of town for her baptism date.... but she said it in a way like she is totally planning on getting baptized not just think in about it and she is praying about a date in November :) 

Lewis' Lesson was so cool too! We talked about the doctrine of Christ. He has learned so much from his children's Book of Mormon! And his prayer at the end was wonderful. He couldn't make it to conference this week and we were so sad but he texted us and said "I will pray for forgiving and protection from the God" haha he's so cute I can't handle it. 

We dropped Gracie :/ she's still coming to church and all, and she watched conference, but she told us she just isn't ready to jump all in. And she recognized that her answer hasn't come because realized that this whole time she has just had in the back of her head that she won't get baptized. Some day, I know it will happen!!

Conference was AWESOME! Some themes I found: 1) Jesus is the greatest ever 2) Gods plan is literally perfect 3) that plan is made to bring us joy 4) we will all make mistakes along the way 5) those mistakes don't have to hold us up anymore, because REPENTANCE IS THE MOST GLORIOUS THING IN THE WORLD. I've learned a lot about repentance on my mission and I think conference just summed it right up! It's perfect and lovely and hard and joyful. And everyone needs it :) so tell people about it!!

I love you all so much! Have a great week!
