Hey Y'all!

Hello! It sounds like everyone is doing great! I'm sad I had to miss the DSDS dance shows 2 years in a row, but am so happy to hear that Macey danced so good!! Keep working hard, Sister!!

This week went by so quickly! I feel like I say that every week haha but the weeks really do fly by! We have been experiencing some crazy weather lately- lots of rain and wind... tornado warnings! Fun stuff :) 

We had Zone Conference this week and it was great! President Heap and his assistants were so bold with us, but they are inspired- so it's what we needed to hear! We learned a lot about the Savior's model and about planning, goal setting, and having a vision for the work and working towards it. I was able to see Sister Udall there and she updated me on all of my peeps in Canyon! ...everyone is doing great :) Allison sent Sister Udall to our meetings with a b-day present for me-the cutest necklace and earrings! She's always keeping me up to date with the latest styles found on Pinterest haha! I love her!

We were able to teach a lot this week, more and more frequently in Spanish! I gave my first prayer in Español this week in a lesson.. it was scary haha!

We had the opportunity to do some service at the Senior Center! They wanted us to serve the elderly peeps coffee and tea, but we avoided the situation and were able to do the dishes instead! We also had a really cool unforeseen service opportunity with a guy named M... we were walking around the park and saw him standing by his truck and looked stressed to the max! We found out that he locked his keys in the car and so we went knocking door to door to find a hanger! We ended up getting a member to come and help him- church members to the rescue! It was so neat to see how close-minded he was when we first talked to him compared to how appreciative he was after we helped serve him. We taught G this week- I love how humble and teachable children are! The scriptures teach us over and over to be like a child- I now know why. I love this work! Being a missionary isn't always easy, but it is so rewarding! I hope that y'all have a great week! Keep sharing the gospel with those around you each day and study the scriptures daily!! The church is true.

Love,

Sister Evans
