It sounds like everyone is doing great! I love hearing from all of you each week :) Mom- I finally got my coat! Thank you so much- I love it!
Well... it's been a great week! We started off the week by getting our hair trimmed at a members (5 months is quite a while to go without a haircut! Yikes!) Then we met a cute little old guy named Roy at Walmart when we went shopping. He was the greeter and he pulled us aside to figure out what our name tags said. Once he figured out that we were missionaries for the mormon church, he pulled the "I'm a baptist preacher" card haha! Anyways, when we left the store, he told us how impressed he was with how modestly we were dressed and gave us free tickets to WT's homecoming football game! Too bad we couldn't use them.. but hey, it's the thought that counts! On Tuesdaywe had a special zone conference.... President and Sister Heap got a copy of the new movie "Meet the Mormons" and let us watch it! It is SO GOOD and will come out in theaters this Friday, the 10th! GO WATCH IT! The highlight of the week for me was definitely General Conference! Oh My Gosh! It was SO good... I thought Harrison was joking last year when he said conference is literally like the Super Bowl for missionaries! Nope.. real life!! I loved all of it, but here are my favorites/ thoughts:
-Before we came to earth, we accepted the plan and knew that we would face trials and hardships... but we are here to be tried, tested, and stretched! We can overcome all of the rough spots with our Savior's help!
- EVERYONE needs their own personal testimony!
-I loved Elder Andersen's talk about the Restoration (Saturday Afternoon Session)
-Parenthood was really emphasized this conference and I LOVED Elder Perry's talk!
and yes... Elder Bednar's talk at the end was exactly what needed to be said!
It was so powerful and we had an investigator, K sitting right there beside us listening to it! It touched her heart so much that she was crying through it! ...she never cries! Talk about a miracle!
We are so fortunate to have a living prophet today to lead and guide us safely home! I loved every minute of it! I hope all of you tuned in as well! If not, get on it!
I love y'all! Have a great week :)
Love, Sister Evans
Check out these random street signs! Apparently some guy paid people to put these signs with off-the-wall sayings in their yards! We see strange things everyday in Amarillo!
