NOVEMBER 4, 2021 -- I met Elder Gong an hour ago!

Not clickbait! Sister Munns and I were walking back from Temple Square and saw Elder Gong wearing a trench coat and mask. . . we almost didn't recognize him! But we stopped and said Hi! and he was just so sweet. An apostle of the Lord right before my very eyes!!!

Other highlights include:

I met my niece Alice Mae Tracy! My brother Jon and his wife, Erin, live literally a block away from me and I ran into them about a week after Erin had little Miss Alice! I'm so grateful for the newest member of our family 

We had a devotional from Brad Wilcox! On Halloween, because Temple Square was closed, Brother Wilcox came and spoke to our mission. It was so amazing and I voice recorded it so if any of you wanna listen I'll attach the link!

Served at the Humanitarian Center. It's so cool because this building used to be a Remington Arm's Ammunition factory but was repurposed as this outreach facility! We give tours there but in free time we got to quilt :)

There was a rainbow! Enough said I guess lol.

I made Sister Munns dress up as Princess and the Pauper with me for Halloween hence the blue and pink dresses. My pink coat FINALLY got to see the light of day because it was finally cold enough! The weather has been too nice for coats!

Sister Munns and I gave a Relief Society lesson to about 180 people. Kinda intimidating but also an awesome experience! It was based on Doctrine and Covenants 127:2,4. We talked a lot about trials and rejoicing in Christ through them. A little portion of verse two says:

"But nevertheless, deep water is what I am wont to swim in. It all has become a second nature to me; and I feel, like Paul, to glory in tribulation; for to this day has the God of my fathers delivered me out of them all, and will deliver me from henceforth; for behold, and lo, I shall triumph over all my enemies, for the Lord God hath spoken it. "

I'm grateful for deep water. For tribulation and a knowledge of the Lord! Who always delivers us out of it in His timing.

I love y'all! Have a beautiful week! Also transfers are this week so I'll have a different p-day next week! And a new companion! Exciting, but also sad because I love Sis Munns
