This week was quite the doozy. We had been trying to get up and go to the early morning exercise classes, but we soon found out why we have the scripture that tells us not to run faster than we have strength. Thursday I got so exhausted that I physically hurt. I got these monster knots in my shoulder that were giving me headaches. Luckily, one of my companions' family has that same problem so she was amazing to try and rub them out for me. She had to rub so hard that I felt like I had bruises the next day.
That day was also when we were supposed to go to the TRC and teach. I felt so discouraged and didn't have the spirit with me at all. I figured out that every Thursday is going to be difficult so that I can be humbled enough to be able to rely on the spirit when I teach. The lesson turned out pretty well and our "investigator" accepted the invitation to be baptized. Cool! We decided after that day that we are going to forego the exercise classes until we can figure out how to get to bed earlier. (Especially since all of us have been having a hard time falling asleep.)
Sorry if this was pretty short. After conference I felt more compelled to find even more time to study than what we have set apart. How about that talk by Elder Holland?! All of us were sitting there with our pens in hand, but we couldn't take notes because we were all staring, mesmerized, at the screen. What an amazing testimony! I hope all of you know that I too have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the gospel. It is so important and if you have not yet received that witness of its truthfulness, PLEASE ASK FOR IT! God answers ALL of our prayers.
I love you all! Give my congratulations to Kord and Liza. I hope all of you have a good week and enjoy the weather. I know I will! I love the fall!
