Happy Halloween!!

Image
Hello everyone!!  We had lots of Halloween festivities this week! We went to a party at our church and a Trunk or Treat at our apartment complex. We felt so bad they were expecting 75 kids and about 10 came but we were there to support! It was really cool to meet some of our neighbors. We had to get creative with our costumes because we had no time or money to put into it haha. That is why I was a snowman! We got to help in primary this week! It was so adorable. All the little kids sang I hope they call me on a mission and then we taught them how to introduce themselves.  We had MLC this week and it was so good! Something that our president said that really stuck with me is that "we are saving the world from total destruction because of our righteousness". And that goes for everyone who is trying to do good in the world! It was so powerful and I've never thought of it that way before! We no longer get to do CDC either in our zone because we've learned that we can'...

A Prayer Circle In Nature At 11:11

Happy Monday!! A couple days ago we got a text from some elders saying to meet at a park at 11:11 the next day because people in our area wanted to do a prayer circle at that time. It seemed like a little sketch but it went so well!! We met the elders and 5 other people who were spiritual and were open to learning more!! We taught them the plan of salvation and they thought it was so cool! They then started playing instruments to feel good vibrations! It was a really cool experience!  I chased a mail guy down to give him a Book of Mormon because we are trying to give one out everyday. I scared him a bit but he was so nice and took the Book of Mormon!  We went on exchanges with the Elkhorn sisters which was fun! We street contacted a lot and got rejected a lot but I felt joy because it means that we are talking to more people about what has brought us joy!! We had stake conference this week and it was so good! All the speakers said exactly what I needed to hear! One of our memb...

Hello everyone!  My sister had her baby!! His name is Rafael Roger Vazquez! He came 2 months early and is so small! He is so adorable! Last week we had zone conference and exchanges with the Elkhorn Hermanas! It is a cute little town and we got to work at a horse show which was so fun! Our friend Joe who was going to get baptized sadly decided to go to another church but said he might come back next year. It was heartbreaking to hear that but he will come around someday! We also cleaned out someone's fish tank and had to catch her algae eaters because they kept having babies. They were so fast and we made it a game of who could catch the most! Apparently the turn red when irritated We also had some of the most spiritual lessons that I've ever had on my mission! Theresa joined our lesson with Sister Lukens and we ended up switching what we were going to do. We taught her the plan of salvation and helped her who she is and that she belongs! She took another Book of Mormon to read...

General Conference!

Hello everyone! I don't have a ton of time but this week was so good!  We had lots of mission conferences and got to see our zone for the first time in person! It's about 40 missionaries now! It was a little scary to speak in front of but I am so thankful for the spirit that gives me the words to say!  General conference was so good! It is always amazing to go to members houses and to watch it with them! We were even able to watch a couple sessions with the friends we are teaching! They all loved it and said they had questions answered and were able to feel peace!  Sorry this is so short but I love you all and hope you have the best weekend!  ♡Sister McGary  Pictures: 1.
