Sister McKay Dickson: Week 49: "It's not about the bunny, it's about the Lamb"

What's poppin everyone, this was a great week! Hope you all enjoyed Easter and felt the love of the Savior, because I sure did.

Things to know:

- Zone Conference this week! Got to see all my favorite people and talked to almost everyone I wanted to... Probably one of the best zone conferences I've ever experienced tho, we got so many good trainings and I felt so hyped to apply them!

- Our friends keep canceling on us. So we didn't teach a ton of lessons this week sadly. We had 5 people at church (may or may not have only been teaching half of them haha) because of Easter tho!

- Had exchanges with Sister Woolston and I absolutely adore her. Had a tender experience with a member that showed me that God is always in the details :,)

- Also got to see my twin TALI this week! (formerly known as Sister Pardo). Her and Sam (formerly known as Elder Wiberg) came to visit and got invited by our members to the same dinner. So weird but so fun to see them haha. I love my friends

- Hit 11 months... what. Sister Bird and I celebrated by getting chicken fil a with everyone. Random side note, we also play mancala every night and its gangster.

Stories of the week:

- One of our friends that came to church was... JANICE! Anyway most of you won't know who that is, but anyone who has served in North knows my lady Janice Swagerty. She said she really enjoyed it, she took 2 pages of notes and shared her testimony in 2nd hour?! #blessingsfromthemissionariesdoingserviceforherforoverhalfayear

- Yesterday while contacting, someone opened the door and purred at me. No kizzy. Haha I said hello and asked how they were doing and this lady goes "Purrrrrfect" and 3 cats run out from behind her. Nice.

- President was talking about high love and high expectations at zone conference; and he related high expectations but no love to Scout camp, and high love but no expectations to girls camp... lol.

Spiritual thought:

- With Easter this week I was thinking a lot about the sacrifice of my Savior Jesus Christ and truly how much He did for me. I know that I will never ever be able to pay him back for what He did, but after lots of thought & prayer I decided I wanted to sacrifice a little more for Him this week. This is not a flex at all haha but I just have to explain some background: I was having a hard time coming up with something to sacrifice because there really aren't many things I haven't already given to Him. What I ended up sacrificing was something that would probably be considered silly in most people's eyes haha, but it was still a sacrifice nonetheless. I won't compare my sacrifice to anything near what the Savior went through, but it felt rewarding to give up something that I cared about for Him (especially after Satan tried to make me doubt what I did lol). I know that no matter what God is proud of me for giving up something for Him, and He knows where my heart was. I am so grateful He gave up something that meant a lot to Him; His Son; for me. And I am eternally grateful for Jesus Christ sacrificing His life so that I can live with Him again.

Also go watch the churches new video #goodnews if you haven't, it's pretty bomb. I have yet to watch it with dry eyes.

I hope you all enjoy this next week, and think about what more you can give to the Savior :))

Love ya!
