There is a poster next to me right now that says,
"Missing Downton Abbey?" YES! Yes, yes, yes, I am missing Downton
Abbey! You have no idea how much I miss Downton Abbey! Ha. Some things never
change, even after sixteen months.
Anyway, we had a good week here.
Things that I learned:
Hermana Belnap taught me something really profound on
exchanges. We were teaching someone the Plan of Salvation and she said,
"The purpose of this life is to prepare, and just like any kind of
preparation, it has to come in steps. Just think of getting ready in the
morning. Even though you do the same thing every day, you can't get ready all
at once. You have to do things one step at a time. It's the same with this
life. We can't prepare all at once. God has given us certain steps to follow to
prepare to meet Him." Wow! I always teach people about preparing to meet
God, but I had never thought of using the analogy of preparing for something
else. In steps. Maybe it's a duh moment for everyone else, but I loved it.
We had another great exchange with the Newport News 1st
sisters, who live in my first apartment on the mission. It was so fun to go
back there and remember what it felt like to be a new little baby missionary
and have no idea what I was doing.
Other than that, things are basically the same. Going well.
SO EXCITED FOR GENERAL CONFERENCE!!!
