Salut! I don't have much to report this week. It's funny because I'm so busy as a missionary and we're always doing things...but they are mostly the same things! So I'm not going to bore you with the day-to-day...this email is going to be mostly about a message I want to share with all of you!
I'll start with sharing a picture with you that definitely wins "Graffiti of the Week." And it's actually in English! Haha. (See attachment, now) It says, "Dreams can damage your mediocrity." What a great reminder it was! We were not sent to this Earth in the latter-days to be mediocre. Heavenly Father sent us here during the Restoration of His gospel! He wouldn't send the ones who were half-hearted in Heaven to be on this Earth during the hastening of His gospel. He knows how incredible you are. He wants you to have hopes and dreams....and to go after them!
Later that week I attended my first Zone Conference in Arad! It was so lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed the spiritual upliftment from our mission leaders and especially President and Sora Hill. The point that stuck out to me from that day was actually written on another sora's planner.....but it struck my heart with great force... It said, "Why are you trying to fit in when you were set apart to stand out? I love this... With this little black tag on my chest I was set apart to stand out in the crowd and proclaim this gospel! Not all of you have missionary tags on at the moment...but you were set apart in Heaven to be sent to this Earth in the last days to be witnesses of how amazing our Father in Heaven is. What a blessing!
To top it all off, I read this scripture that goes along with this theme perfectly! In 3 Nephi 12:15-16 it says, "Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick and it giveth light to all who are in the house; therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." AHHHH. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE INCREDIBLE?! You are here to be amazing! And you are! Man.... I love this gospel.
That's all for now... But I just wanted to remind you all how loved you are....how FANTASTIC you are. Our Heavenly Father loves you. I love you! Have a great week.
PROFITE DE ZILE.

| My companion, Sora Tanner and I with president and Sora Hill. It was the last time we would see them before they go home. So strange! |
 |
| Sora Tobler (my mission grandmother), Sora Tanner (my mission mother) and me! This was the last time we saw Sora Tobler because she is going home next week! So we took a "three-generation" photo. |

| Just a quick shot we got at Zone Conference of my district. |
