18 Months And 19 Inches Of Snow!!

Hi everyone! 

Sorry it has been a while since I have written, things have been crazy! I hit my 18 months as a missionary which is insane! Time goes by so fast!!

I can't really remember what has happened in the last couple weeks but here is what I remember!

☆District conference! President and Sister Hansen and the assistants to the president came to our district council! I learned so much and the spirit was so strong. I really learned the importance of going to church and how we can express that to the friends we are teaching! I also felt so much of my Heavenly Father's love through them!

☆ worked at the family history booth at the cultural fair. It was so cool to see the community come together for it! They had live performers who sang Irish music which was fun! We even were able to find someone to teach through it! She asked about family history and then started asking about the church and she came yesterday!!

☆ Exchanges with Sister Hlabasko! I got to go to Wausau and it was so fun! 

☆lots of member meals! This ward is amazing and all of the members are so sweet! I love Marshfield!

☆ While we were street contacting we walked up to some guy and his response to us was "uh oh Jesus people" haha he wanted to learn about family history though!

☆ We went to Catholic Mass with Mary Joy! She forgot we were coming so we ended up having to sit by ourselves and didn't know what was happening but it was a cool experience! She was happy that we came when we talked to her after though!

☆It snowed a lot. We don't know exactly how much because everyone told us something different. Haha one person told us 5 feet but the most actuate probably was 19 inches 

☆we got to help set up for a gymnastics competition and then got to go to it during lunch

☆ Gina said she wants to be baptized but doesn't want to set a day yet but she wants to be baptized!!

Haha I am thankful we have a planner that helped me remember some of these things!

The youth theme this year is Philippians 4:13 which is I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 

This past year and a half has been so hard but I have been able to learn how to rely on my savior. By myself I could not have done this but because I learned that Jesus Christ was by my side I was able to do it. I learned that I can do hard things and that we all can but we have to rely on Jesus Christ for help and strength. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and I know that He lives and has overcome all things and so can we!!

God loves you individually and knows you personally! Christ lives you individually. And they know how to help! 

This is my last full week here but I'm going to make the most of it!!

I love and miss you all! I'll see you soon!
