🙋♀️🙋♀️me! It was me!!
Why was it so awesome? Well let me tell you.
First of all, as you may have heard, general conference was this week!!! It's like second Christmas!! Two days packed full of goodness. What did you like the most? I think my favorite part about conference was how it made me feel: peaceful, happy, hopeful, inspired to improve, motivated to give more, a super strong desire to be in the temple. All these amazing feelings that recharged my spirit.
Second of all, and best of all, I got to go to the temple🤪🥳😆😁 it was the crowning moment of my week, of the transfer. We all caravaned up to the temple (which is out of our mission by about 30 minutes) to the temple as a zone. All 23 of us missionaries got to be in the temple together. We met a lady outside who, after brief conversation asked us if we would do some of her family names! And so a lot of our zone got to help this lady and her ancestors by doing their work:)) special! Sister Nilson and I walked around the temple for a minute and found a cute bench to sit on. Then I saw this man with a wheelbarrow full of branches. He walked in front of us and we asked him how he was doing. He smiled shyly and said "muy bien" and my heart exploded for joy!! I whipped out my dusty spanish and spoke to him briefly about what he was doing and how beautiful the temple is. A simple miracle, but one so beautiful to me😊
Ironically, I loved being in the temple but it made me feel more homesick than ever. I felt so strongly that I wished my family was with me. But how beautiful is that? It's a bittersweet feeling but I'm grateful that the temple stirs those feelings in us; those feelings that we want our families together.
Well I hope you all feel loved and hopeful. If not, go listen to conference;)
Love
