WOW!! I cannot believe it has been a month already!! It has gone by sooo sloow but soooo fast at the same time!! It's crazy!! But it has been fun! This last weekend was awesome! Conference was AMAZING!! I don't think i have every payed this close attention to it before, but i seriously loved it! I especially loved Uchtorfs quote about the bumper sticker, "Don't judge me b/c I sin differently than you" so funny but so true! what a good message that was i thought. But all of the talks were just awesome!! Then sunday night for our fireside Vai Sikahema spoke!! It was super fun! He talked about how you can incorporate missionary work into your carreer and talked about like mormon night at the Phillies games and Wednesday's child wanting a "forever family" and how when he pitched that to the producers they were amazed at how perfect it fit and stuff, but it was a lot of fun! It was nice to get a little touch of home as he talked about a couple other things in Philly too! But ya, overall such a great weekend! I feel like i probably lost a little bit of my thai b/c we didn't have to speak it at all during conference but other than that awesome!
This morning was interesting though, we went to the temple and did sealings as a district, but we got split up so 1/2 our district was in one room and the other half in the other and right at the beginning we hear this big thud and the room shook and stuff and we were all super confused, come to find out later that that "thud" was actually one of the elders in my district passing out in the sealing room next to us!! Crazy right?!! he's ok, but he did cut open his chin, got 7 stitches and chipped some teeth, poor kid! But he has just laughed it off and they are all just joking about it now so that's good! But that added a bit of excitement to our district for the week i think!
This week i also found out i might have either plantar fasciatus or fallen arches, not sure which but i have been going to these workout classes and my feet have started to really hurt during them, so i talked to the trainers and that's what they told me! They gave me a couple things to do to hopefully help it so we'll see! (one of the things was to roll it out on this little spikey ball thing, so if you could send me one that would be great! the have one here, but i want to have one just in case. It kind of looks like those blue ball things that you had for the dryer, you know what i'm talking about?? so if you could be on the lookout for something like that that would be awesome!!)
But other than that it was a pretty mellow week! Our "p-thais" (the district that came in before us) are starting to get ready to leave which is super weird! They leave next tuesday for Thailand!! i'm somewhat jealous, but soo excited for them! they are great and im positive they only send the best of the best to thailand ;) haha
Jason and Julia came to lunch on Friday so I got a little bit of an update on things so that was fun! But ya, good week! I love having the opportunity to listen to our prophet and other general authorities! What a great thing we have in this church to be able to recieve guidance through modern revelation!!! I know that Thomas S. Monson is our true and living prophet today and the he leads and directs this chruch with the authority of God! General conference is awesome and i can't wait for this sunday to hear another apostle speak to us!
Well, I hope everything is going well at home! Love you all!
Love, Sister Itri
