Hello!
 
It is conference week!!! I am SOOO excited!!! :) I hope you can all watch it and take really good notes! It is going to be sooo good!
 
Well this week I ate cow tongue for the first time! Eww!!! But it actually tasted pretty good.... Just weird to think about....... So don't think about it much. It looks like normal meat, so you wouldn't even know unless someone told you what it was... Try it! They say it is really fancy and expensive.
 
BEST WEEK EVER! I got to stay the night in the hospital and we had a baptism all in the same week! :) Hahah It felt like home in the hospital. I did not really like the nurses coming in every 15 minutes to check on the recently operated on Hermana, but it was still fun. She had a simple knee surgery. Neither of us slept well. But all is well now. :) And our new convert is already wanting to go to the temple and we might get to go with her next week! She is doing great! She loves the Young Womens in this ward and is starting to read from the Book of Mormon every day! Oh and I also got a package from my mommy this week! Triple awesome week! Oh oh and Womens Conference was this week too! Super great week. A member took us out for Taco Bell after the conference and we watched it in English for Hermana Gividen so we are all happy.
 
Today we had the 'One Month Check-up' for Hermana Gividen. :) It was great! President Hayes grilled us hamburgers and hotdogs and we learned lot of cool stuff. He knows everything about everything. He's been an institute teacher for a long time... Asweome. :)
 
In my studies this week I really like a scripture in Alma. And then they talked about it again in the Womans Conference... So it is fate. Alma 13:28 (27-29). It talks about how we need to pray continually to be able to handle the temptations given to us. I hear people say all the time that 'God does not give trials too big for you to handle' or 'Satan can not tempt you more that you can handle' But that is not ture... A lot of trials are too hard for us to bear and a lot of temptations are too strong for us to bear. Alone. If we are alone, we will almost always fall. We will fall into sin, saddness, depression, mistakes, darkness. But if we look to God, pray always, and use the Atonement of Christ, THEN there will be no trials too big or temptations too strong to bear. With Christ, all is possible. By ourselves, life is too hard. Pray continually for protection, for help, for knowledge, for love, for guidence and direction, for the Spirit. And you will be able to bear all things. :) And you can be happy through your trails with Faith, Hope, and Charity. :)
 
Have a great conference weekend! I love you all! 
 
Love,
 
Hermana Markle. :)
