Trying to find cool name about Azle, I am taking suggestions, Awesome Azle is too generic

Sorry this title is long like my email today. Feel free to give me suggestions though.

Okay....why was this week so good? Why is God so good to me? Sometimes I just don't understand

Second off, please pray for us! We're trying to find people to teach right now!

ZONE CONFERENCE- Wednesday this week we had zone conference. Lemme tell ya, President John is inspired. He had a the missionaries prepare a two minute talk on obedience, then he chose two people to share their talks at conference. I learned so much from it. Luckily and didn't have to give my talk in conference, but I'll put it down below for anyone who wants to read it haha. Anyway, I was so hyped up after that conference. I wrote so many quotes down in my journal because it was just so good. I wish everyone could experience it. It was 6 hours long but it really didn't feel like it. IN a nutshell what I learned was that being obedient is being anxiously engaged. Planning helps us channel that engagement.

MY GEENIE LEFT ME FOR DOG FOOD- One day we were out visiting people, and we wanted to see if this one lady was interested in meeting with us. We stopped by her house with the intent of knocking on her door. However, when we get there we see that she has a vicious looking dog guarding her porch. We decide to be sort of smart and not knock her door, but to leave a passalong card on her car...that's right next to the porch. The dog was chained so we knew it would be okay. I walk over there and the dog stops barking and starts just staring at me which was really scary. When I get to the car though, out of no where he lurches for me and I swear on my life that he almost broke his chain off. I think he would of gotten to it if his owner didn't come out and calm him down. Anyway, I look around for my companion and she's not there. I look back a see here right by the car with the door open and one foot inside. It's every man for himself out here haha

TWO MIRACLE LADIES- This was a testimony building experience. We decided that for weekly planning, we were gonna do this prayer exercise where we pray for 10 minutes about people we can visit this week. Keep in mind that we're both new here and no probably 10 people put together, but we do it anyway. I was led in different ways to put 6 names down. We called all of them and asked to meet. 2 of these people were old ladies in our ward and I wanted to talk about them. We got to visit both of them this week. The last said that she had been crying Thursday and cursing God for making her put up with her trials...and then we called and asked to meet with her. She says we're angels. We got to meet with her and comfort her and cry with her. She hadn't been to church for years, but out of the blue her ministering person called and said she was picking her up for church that week. What a surprise it was when we found out her ministering person was the other lady on our list! We know it was for a reason that we went and visited both. We're grateful we could help welcome her to church, it was exactly what she needed.

APPARENTLY PEOPLE IN THE SOUTH PAINT THEIR PORCH CELINGS BLUE-We helped this family paint their ceiling light blue. Apparently it helps stop the wasps from making nests. It was fun. I haven't painted something since I was in Watauga so it was a pleasure.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT- why do we need organized church? I love this quote by Elder Christofferson "In the meridian of time, Jesus organized His work in such a way that the gospel could be established simultaneously in multiple nations among diverse people."

Just think about that. Logistically, Christ set His Church up in the best way to decrease the apostasy from creeping in. Here are some other reasons we need organized church, or in other words, why we need to go to church

-opportunities for spiritual growth (like callings for one example)

-to be chastened (yes, I said what I said. Think about it tho, why is that important?)

-to be united in our fight against evil

-the Sacrament

Why else do we go to church? I invite yall to ponder that and find a deeper appreciation for Sundays and for church activities.

Pics-

last pday's crazy attire. There's just a bunch of crazy dresses in our closet. I've decided that pdays are my days to wear those. Just something fun to do to switch it up every so often. Today I'm wearing a red flower dress. Pics will be provided next week.
