Hey guys!
This week was full of the Spirit and growth!
On Thursday, we did laundry first thing in the morning. Then we were able to do an endowment session in the temple. I felt a lot of peace about leaving next week and that the Lord will support me in my struggles.
On Friday, we had to get up super early to get to a sealing session at the temple at 7am. At dinner, an elder in our district heard a worker say it was messier than usual so our district quickly decided to clean up. At first, I was a little angry that we were cleaning up others messes, but we ended up joking and having a good time. I left feeling happy that we were able to help. All the workers were super grateful. We ended up going to the field after that and I finally won a game of spike ball, with only a little bit of help from Elder Jensen.
We watched General Conference all of Saturday and Sunday. Conference was so good! I'll definitely be taking the prophets invite to think celestial. I know it'll help me on my mission!
On Monday, we had class and one of the elders in my district called my shirt the color of fry sauce. I wasn't very impressed with that comparison. We played a lot of volleyball this week. When we played on Tuesday, an elder in my district hit the ball right into my face. He seemed so appalled but I was laughing so hard as no damage was done. We've also been playing hacky sack and I'm getting semi decent at it!
I leave for the field tomorrow! A few missions, including mine, are implementing a new mentor program for new missionaries. I'll be doing it for the first 12 weeks in the field.
Nothing too exciting today, just laundry and packing. I can't wait to finally be in the field and start fulfulling my missionary purpose!
Love,
Sister O'Barr
