Full Mission Conference and other rare occurances

 (Sister Putnam)

Monday we got together as a district and did volleyball at a park and that was fun.

 Tuesday was interviews with president.  They were in person this time! That's never happened before during my mission, so it was something new to me.

 Wednesday we had district council and then we had a lesson with Reba and Shae.  We taught them about the Book of Mormon and that they can feel nearer to God by abiding by its precepts than by any other book.  Afterwards Reba texted us and said thank you for the lesson, and that the lesson made her feel better than she had in a long time. It was really awesome, and we hope to help her see the impact that the gospel can have in her life.

On Thursday we had a full mission conference. You've gotta understand that President Auna almost never does things like that. Usually the biggest mission conference we'd have was a half mission conference twice a year, and the biggest mission conference I'd ever been to in my mission wasnt even a Zone Conference but a Half Zone conference due to covid restrictions. So this full mission conference was a huge deal! I got to see all the people I'd met, minus those who had gone back to their original assignments or gone home, and it was way cool! I didnt realize how many people I hadn't met. We talked about growing our faith and that was awesome. Afterwards we went to the tulip festival.  The flowers were so pretty.

 On Friday we had a lesson with a family in the ward that lasted like 3 hours, and the whole time they didn't shove politics down our throats! You have to understand, we've had several member lessons where they only. talk. politics. to. us. So the fact that we had a lesson that lasted THREE HOURS and there was no mention of politics was incredible! And so relieving!!

Oh and on Sunday the elders decided to prank us and harmlessly vandalize our car before they were at church so I'll include pictures!

Okay love you all!!!
