Well this week has been crazy. I don't think I've been so busy my whole mission..


There was a sister that went home last Tuesday, so we picked up a new companion (sister hone) AND a new area! Were working Hyde Park YSA and Morgan Park right now, and we do an incredible amount of teaching and driving. Saturday in itself was one huge big miracle with inspiration after inspiration to visit people and it was so successful. Awesome. I love it. And we all laugh our way through it. Which is the best. 

We only had one exchange this past week... But this week, I have three exchanges, and I'll be outside of my area all three times! :P but it's fun. I can't even explain how much I've learned. 

There are so many people with so many NEEDS. desperate, heavy needs. Guilt, abuse, divorce, cheating, lies, self-worth, confidence, addiction, the list goes on. 
People kind of just vomit their lives onto the ground in front of us, and I just look at this big mess and think, "ohhhh my goodness.... I don't even know where to start or what to say!". But as I give it just a second, the spirit comes in, and with simplicity and love, helps me know what to say. I'm grateful that it's not just Hermana Walton trying to fix their problems- I would never be able to do that. But instead, it's a loving Heavenly Father, and a savior with an infinite atonement. I'm glad that the atonement really is infinite. It's awesome.

I got to see the CES Broadcast last night! It was awesome

There is a family in Indiana, in the Valpo zone of our mission, who's dad came up to the university hospital right next to our apartment for throat cancer treatment. We got a TON of missionaries to come with us to the hospital and sing to him. We must've sung like fifteen hymns. It was the best though. The spirit was so thick in the room and we loved it :) it was a very tender experience.

Well that's it for me, have an awesome week!!
