Back in ysa baby !😎🥳

 HOWDY YALLL! Our pdays got swapped to Wednesday's so we can go to the temple when it opens((: I'm SOO STOKED to go to the temple!!

Wednesday: PDAYYYY! we got transfer calls and I found out I'm leaving st rob and going to Rogers YSA! I'm so sad to leave my St rob peeps but I'm way stoked to be in ysa again! 

Thursday: GOODBYES ARE THE WORST! I said goodbye to everyone, it was brutal😪 pro's and cons to being in an area for 7 1/2 months lol. 

Friday: TRANSFERS! I accumulated a lot of crap in st rob so poor Sis Ellsworth who had to help me get all my suitcases up 2 flights of stairs😬 we cover lots of Rogers and Bentonville and lemme tell you it's fancy here... people have teeth, and nice dogs, it doesn't smell like weed everywhere you go!

Saturday: BENTONVILLE IS SOOOOOOO NICE! we went around the square to try to find ppl, we had lots of awesome conversations! We also went to a farmers market that they have on the square, so many ysa were there it was awesome! They have so many cool things to do here. There are a lot of fancy business ppl that work for Walmart so it's kinda intimidating but oh well! 

Sunday: STAKE CONFERENCE! We had stake conference and it was so good! The members here are on fire for missionary work, it's so cool to see! I meet our branch president and the first thing he said was "welcome, this is a baptizing branch" I was floored! 😆

Monday: THE LORD LOVES EFFORT!

We went finding pretty much all day Monday, had no success haha. We even had a member with us! We ended up getting rejected lots and getting kicked off an apt complex. But ya know what we kept trying, we were able to have some good conversations with ppl. We didn't find anyone but we tried to plant a lot of seeds.

Tuesday: MLC IN PERSON!

It was so nice because when I was in st rob it was an 8 hr trip to get to mlc and back, now it's 3 minutes! Mlc was awesome and it was super fun to see all my friends. I was so tired after tho! We had soo much to do on Tuesday it was insane, honestly a party! Idk why but I LOVE when we have a super busy day!

Spiritual thought: 

2 Nephi 25:26

"And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."

A member of the seventy spoke at our stake conference this week and he talked about keeping christ the center, having everything focused in him. He talked about how too often we go whole sacrament meetings without saying Christ's name. We use words like atonement, temple, gospel, sacrament and leave Christ's name out of the title. All these things would mean nothing without christ, so we need to not leave Christ's name out of his church. The atonement of JESUS CHRIST, the temple THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, the sacrament of JESUS CHRIST, the gospel of JESUS CHRIST. As we keep christ the center of our lives and try to keep his name in mind more it will bring the spirit more into our lives and others lives.
