Oh my goodness gracious!! It feels like just yesterday that I was emailing y'all!! ....it was only 3 day ago...so that might be why! This short proselyting week has really built my testimony on urgency. We only had 3 days (today is pday, tomorrow zone conference, and then Sunday) to really work in our areas and find people to teach. 3 days less than we are used to and each moment suddenly became so precious to us to find these children of God! In Prince George, it is hard to find people to teach. Last transfer we found (sadly) 2. In 6 weeks. In the last three days, because of our focus, urgency and faith....we were blessed to find 4 new people to teach!! :D In many ways I am so so grateful for this experience. It really pointed out to me that every moment is so precious and that God will place people in our paths when we are diligently seeking and prepared!! Isn't He so good?!
Today we had our zone p-day for the transfer!! Oh golly gee whiz it was so fun! Another testimony to me of prioritizing time and getting things done was planning it! I spent every spare minute the past week planning this activity with Sister Killick! Every moment was precious!! We started the activity with a huge pancake breakfast with "all the fixin's" and played a couple games of werewolf. (it's an interactive role play game similar to mafia) IT WAS SO FUN to play as a zone!!! Then we got down to business for family feud! We split everyone up into 3 teams (made a cute scrabble board of our names to tell them who was on each team), got name tags, and proceeded to go through a series of competitions representing our teams!! It was a blast! We had a plank challenge, 3 legged race, riddles, balloons, moving M&M's with a straw, most jump ropes in a minute, hellfire sauce, coke chugging, yoyo tricks, getting fruit snacks out of a bowl of flour, an easter egg hunt in the church, egg/spoon race, trust falls, fluffy bunny, juggling, toilet paper mummies, charades/pictionary speed challenge.....man it was so fun!! Everyone was out of breath and smiling! :D Best part? We spent $10 on everything...minus breakfast. Who says you can't have fun on a budget? ;)
Oh my goodness I just CAN'T WAIT for GENERAL CONFERENCE and EASTER SUNDAY!!! Oh wait!! It's the same day!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Is anyone else as pumped?! I know that Heavenly Father blesses His Apostles to speak through the Spirit. Any questions you have, whether you know you have them or not, can and will be answered as you prepare yourself spiritually and watch General Conference. :)
I love you all!! Have an absolutely amazing week and a half! Talk to you in April!! :*
