Did this week even happen?

(Sister Slade)

That is a legitimate question. I can't really remember this week. It seemed to go by so fast and also, it still feels like last Tuesday. I am convinced that this last week was a dream.

We had zone conference on Friday. It was super good! We talked about what it means to believe what you believe in. It's similar to the idea of believing in Christ and Believing Christ. We have to believe that Christ can do what he says he can do for us and we have to believe that the gospel works. If you want a really good talk to listen to or read, I would highly recommend Believing Christ by Elder Robinson.

The Arkansas Bentonville mission is one of 10 missions in the world that is part of a service experiment that Elder Ballard asked us to do. Each companionship is required to do 10 hours of service a week. It's been an amazing experience to do so much service. We serve at a senior center, an assisted living, a food pantry, and a literacy council. Since we started this experiment last month, we have found 2 new people to teach! Service softens people's hearts.

I love you!
