Who are the grands? I lovedddddd GC!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's the best weekend of my whole life!! Being a missionary for General conference is my favorite!! I learned much too much! But probably should have learned more! That's ok though, line upon line. I loved how direct and bold everything was, especially about sustaining the prophets and getting your testimony solidified. Heeding their council no matter what it may be is the only things that's going to get us through and make the purpose of us even being on Earth meaningful! JESUS IS COMING!! I felt it so strongly, my companion and I both! It's so cool, and I love how the talks are no more about physical preparation or the nice uplifting message that helps you feel better or laugh at a good story, but it's like "WAKE UP! be spiritually prepared! If your testimony isn't conversion, it's not good enough anymore, let me tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to help your spirit be safe." I feel like I had to learn how to do so many things on my own to get the testimony I have, but youth and converts and others don't have time to trial and error, there's too many other dangers in the world to worry about. Studying is more important than sleep! hahaha And if you aren't sharing the Gospel it means you don't use it in your own life! or (my vice) family history! I need to do that! it would help me be a better missionary if I had all of our ancestors on my side motivating me. ....they did make me laugh and feel good about life too(: Because that's what the Gospel is. Happiness and peace. I felt that a lot and I felt so much love. My favorite thing was when Elder Eyring said he hoped we all felt love AND liked from Heavenly Father. That was cute, and made me happy. I like feeling liked and the person I want to please most is God. My second favorite thing was Elder Uchtdorf's pink tie in the first session! Also, I learned a lot in general conference about how I need to be a good mom! I went in asking how to be a better missionary and got "you're title as 'mom' is going to last eternity and your title as 'sister krueger' is only 18 months....just make yourself a better person who relies on the Spirit more."
I hope I can be a good one like you! And also do fun activities for my other callings!
We watched gc mostly at the church building, but also with one sister in our ward. Our whole missionary district came and we made breakfast! It was so fun and she was happy to have priesthood holders in her home.
The M's watch Sunday!!!! I love them, the Visitor's Center was amazing! We watched Joseph Smith, Prophet of the Restoration and YES, set a date with them for the 25th of this month!!!!!! It seems that it might be conflicting with a lot of other things that church has going on too that day, but we'll get it all figured out with them and our ward mission leader.
And then after conference we went to find a referral with a ysa girl about to go on her mission. And I don't know if I've told you about this family but the mom is my mission mom! And I literally am obsessed with every member of this family. The mom is darling and the dad is a crackhead. Best quote of the evening.
him- "KRRRRRRRRUUUUEGER!!!!!" (some quote from seinfeld he yells every time he sees me)
her- "Ok. Russell?" *evil eye* "That is almost like taking her name in vain."
him- "What,? she's not even deity!"
Me- "Hey, I represent Jesus!!"
him- "hm, that's true. ....okay, honey you're giving me the stink eye."
her- "....it's not a stink eye, but it is an eye."
lol And then they let us have family scripture study with them. There's G whose put in her papers who is so cool and fun and dedicated! And E, she's 15 I think and is literally the sweetest, cutest girl and looks like a little doll. She almost reminds me of Alex but not going through a black clothes stage. And they have a son at BYU who is the most. hilarious. ridiculous. kid. of. my. life. And there's a son on a mission that, supposedly was here while we were but I don't remember him. They tell me he's cool. and then little T is adorable. Ok sorry, S tangent. I just feel like I'm at home when I'm with them and it's bittersweet because it makes me miss home at the same time! We're so fun, and I forget because I'm so focused sometimes! Lol But there's a family that I do know loves me. A lot of them do. We have some of the best of the best in the wards who take care of us. We just had transfers a couple weeks ago though. We have interviews with President on Wednesday, and transfers happen again the 22nd. And don't worry, I have no idea anymore until I look at the calendar and they have it posted for us when transfers are.
AND HEY! My driving record is fine!! (: Sister Dunn is just the senior companion(: That makes her the driver, it's just easier to have that be the blanket rule. She's only got 3 moths left on her mission. She's 20!
I can't believe daddy's having surgery! I am praying for him lots! It'll be great! He's such a trooper!! (haha ....get it?)
LOVE YOU MAMA! MWAH (sis Dunn has been making me practice talking with an accent. it's ...interesting)
