On Tuesday, we met the Covington family! They are returning members! They are absolutely amazing! They watched General Conference and they felt the spirit so strongly. I didn't see them when sacrament meeting started, but I was pretty excited when their little girl, Reina, ran up and gave me a huge hug!
It started snowing on Wednesday! None of it stuck, but on Sunday we got about 5 inches. Winter came in with a bang! Luckily, it has warmed up a bit this week!
On Thursday we had zone conference! We had an area seventy, Elder Michael D. Jones, attend. The spirit was amazing. I was so shook, because he was teaching and then he was like "Where's Sister Gish?" I raised my hand and he said "Sister Gish, how could I forget a great name like that?" He then asked me to read a few scriptures. I felt so special and it made me contemplate a few things:
1. I was so touched that even though we only briefly met for 5 seconds, he made me feel so loved. It reminded me how our heavenly father and Jesus Christ could never forget our names.
2. That my name is a representation of my family, and I want to do everything I can to bring honor to my name!
3. Even though my name is "great", I want to wear an even greater name on my name tag everyday. Wearing the name of Christ is my highest honor in life.
One of my favorite things about zone conference was when Elder Jones was talking about sustaining a new prophet. He said that some shout to oppose during general conference, but if the saints vocally expressed how much we sustain our prophet the cheer would ring so loudly! I love President Nelson and I sustain him so deeply in my heart that I could cheer!
I went on exchanges with Sister Raine this week! She is just so great! She is a great example of becoming as a little child. She is submissive, patient, meek, and filled to the brim with love! She is the best!
We also got to go to the temple twice this week and do baptisms for those on the other side of the veil. We went with Chris on Friday night and with Cassidy on Saturday morning. I love the temple and I felt an overwhelming spirit as I watched two of the people I taught, do their own family work. Chris didn't want to leave the temple, but neither did I!
We had exchanges yesterday, and I was with Sister Chadwick! She is just awesome, and I think I could talk with her all day long! She is just so happy and it's contagious!
We had interviews yesterday. I just love any chance I have to meet with President McMurray! He is the best mission president ever!!!!
I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
