Hey!!
Another week has come and gone!! It is crazy to me to see how some weeks can fly by so so fast!! This week was pretty fun because we had a super spiritual devotional with the General Relief Society president Sister Jean B. Bingham and the General Young Women's president Sister Bonnie H. Cordon as well as we got to hear from someone from the Seventy, Elder Nash! So, the devotional was super awesome and they all spoke with such power and authority and I could really feel that each of them have been called of God. This devotional happened on Saturday but we had to travel on Friday because we live so far away so we did not get any teaching time on Friday or Saturday because of the travel, but the devotional was super nice. Transfer news also came on Saturday night and me and my companion are staying together which I am super excited about. I think that we will be able to have some good success this transfer!
I also just want to give a shoutout to Sugar Salem Basketball on a great State Basketball Championship!! I am super Stoked for them!! I miss Coach Free a lot and it is true, I would have given everything to be there playing but it is not my time anymore. I cannot believe that there are double state champions!! (referring to the fact that both Sugar and North Fremont won state boys basketball championships this past weekend) That is flipping sweet!! Wow!! That is something I would have never predicted but I am super excited and happy for both teams!! Garrett (Hawkes) sounds like he played amazing!! Those stat lines are incredible!! It makes miss ball quite a bit, to hear exciting news like that!! Thanks for sending details about each game though, that sounds like it was a really exciting and fun time to be there!!
I cannot believe that it is March and that my birthday is coming!! I am super excited to have my first birthday on mission just because it will feel like a stepping stone! I think I am allowed to call on my birthday but not sure what will happen yet. It is the thought that matters! It is not about the gifts while I am on this mission it is just about the prayers and the miracles, those are the gifts that make everything better! Anyways I love you so much mom and I hope your week is amazing!
Anyways nothing else too exciting but I love you all and I hope your week is amazing!!

Questions and Answers
Q. How is your health? Are you still feeling week or sick? Did you go see the mission president’s wife?
A. My health has increased so much and I am feeling a lot better!! I never saw anyone but through prayers and a blessing I was able to recover, which is a miracle of course!
Q. How has the teaching been this week?
A. The teaching this week was not super good but we were only able to teach 4 days this week because of a big mission devotional that we had with the General Young Women's President, General Relief Society President and Elder Nash from the Seventy.
Q. What interesting food did you eat this week?
A. I did not eat anything interesting this week, unless you want to count fufu! haha but that food is super nice.
Q. When times get tough, who or what do you lean on for your inspiration to keep going?
A. I lean a lot on prayer. There really is not anything or anyone to rely on that can help me more than my heavenly father through a heartfelt prayer. I just pour out my feelings and through that I get peace and comfort.
Q. Any upcoming baptisms scheduled?
A. No baptisms right now, but maybe some by the end of this month.
Q. What are you planning to do for your birthday?
A. I have not decided what I will do for my birthday yet, any ideas?? There is a pizza place in a closeby area, but we will not be able to travel and get it because that is against mission rules, but I want to get it somehow. Some missionaries stay there and they will be coming to our area on Wednesday for district meeting but if they brought the pizza they would have to bring enough for the whole district which would be about 60 US Dollars. We can talk about it today when I call!
