This week was definitely an interesting one. It's been good though. And General Conference was amazing!! (I mean, how could it be anything but amazing?) It was way too short, but I received a lot of revelation and have lots of ideas about how to move forward. I can't wait for the talks to come out online so I can reread them, but it definitely has given me a lot to think about.
We got to spend a lot of time with the Sheppards. We have been working with them for the whole time we've been here, and they absolutely love us by now. There were some sisters in the past who really pushed them, and they pulled away, but we've really just been trying to help them feel the Spirit and strengthen the parents. So this week, Sister Sheppard had a huge fundraiser she was helping with, so we went over for a couple hours and helped her bake and wrap raffle items. Another member saw her later that week and said that she'd said that we helped her so much, and so that was cool! Then we watched the Sunday morning session of General Conference with them, and we brought Conference Bingo, so that was a big hit. It was amazing! We are so hoping that they will initiate their kids being baptized. The 2 hour church will help them though, because they might actually stay both hours!
Sister Howard's birthday was this past Wednesday, which was super fun. I put up orange and black streamers (because she always has a Halloween party), and I had fun making a cake (I had the idea for the design about a month ago, and have been gradually getting stuff since then), and we had dinner with our ward mission leader, which was awesome. She is so enthusiastic about everything, and it's infectious.
So it was a good week.
Love you bye!
