Hey Everybody!
  
This week has been strange. But I guess in a way they all are. The last year and a half of my life has just been strange. But a totally good strange.
 
Sites has been awesome. Ohhhh I love sites! We had an awesome training meeting in the Kirtland Temple. Our sites theme for the transfer is "Stand in Holy Places" and so Elder Jones talked about all of the miraculous things that happened in the Kirtland Temple surrounding the dedication which happened in April 1836. Then Elder Sorensen got up and talked to us about how we serve in all of these sacred places but it's us as sisters that bring the spirit to places and how we get to serve in such sacred spots.. It was great. I love the temple.
 
We took a lot of tours this past weekend and I had a connection with almost everybody we took. It was so cool! Some of them knew Mads' family. Some were from Simi. 2 of them had served in the Ventura Mission and knew a lot of our elders.. It was really neat. I can't wait for everybody to come to Kirtland! I love it so much.
 
Conference was amazing!!!!!! I can't even explain how much I loved it. I have been thinking a lot about my potential as a daughter of God and what that really means. Of course in my mind they ALL talked about that. It was really cool. I'm really starting to understand that I am a daughter of God and that I have a divine role and plan here on earth and I have unlimited potential. I guess the next step is to figure out how to tap into that.. But we have all been given gifts and talents to help us build the kingdom of God on earth. It's an amazing plan God has for us.
 
I don't know what else! So I guess have a great week full of missionary opportunities!
