all things good here in williamston. this week felt so fast but also so long idek. time is just flying!! here are some highlights
• we have done a ton of service and it has been SO SO GOOD. they encourage us to have 10 hours a week, and we haven't been able to do much at all until this week. we help out at a thrift shop with another set of missionaries, and we did some cleaning at the habitat for humanity restore. service just really heals the soul.
• we had our district pday which was a ton of fun! we mini golfed and got bdubs which is always a good time.

• we had exchanges with the jackson sisters and jonesville sisters!!! it was so fun. i got to be with sister pulsipher and she just got here two weeks ago. she is so sweet and so excited to work. i also got to be with sister paulsen and she is amazing. we got to teach one of their friends named john and it was one of the most spirit filled and spirit led lessons i’ve had in a while.

• we taught our good pal ozibo this week! he is seriously the busiest person i know. he is getting a phd in african history. we had an appointment and he was 40 minutes late, but it was still so good and i glad it worked out the way it did. he knows the gospel is true and wants to be a member but just has a hard time committing.
• also i’ve been messaging a cool guy named zach for the past few weeks. he has so many good questions and struggles with the idea of a loving God. he said he'd want to meet up so i am excited for that!
• also general conference is this week and i am SO excited and hope you are too! it is such a good opportunity to hear what the Lord has been wanting us to know. check out churchofjesuschrist.org on saturday and sunday to see!
a quote that i’ve thought about a lot and studied is from this
last conference. elder holland said, "we all need to believe that what we
desire in righteousness can someday, someway, somehow yet be ours." God
knows our righteous desires and we can hope that they will be ours in His way
and timing.
have a blessed week:)
