Sister McKay Dickson: Week 61: Lights Out

Hey y'all! This week was awesome!!! Hope everyone is doing good. My fam is in cabo but jokes on them because I dont miss them at all.

Things to know:

- A couple weeks ago Dawnjeana asked us to move her baptism back to August 6th. This week we had an awesome lesson with her and we invited her to pray about when the Lord needed her to be baptized. Then she texted us today and said she wants to move her date up to THIS SATURDAY! Such a miracle!!! We are so excited for her.

- We had zone conference and it was fun! Except for the fact that I keep realizing the longer I'm on my mission, the less missionaries I know. Don't know how to explain it but #iykyk. Wished I could have seen all my friends there before they go home soon but its fine. And I miss my apartment in North, you know who you are!

- Went on two exchanges this week and they were so fun! Went with Sister Foote who is a BEAST and Sister Bartels who came out with me and her and I just switch places a lot haha so it was fun to finally get to go on an exchange with her! She's fun :))

- Said bye to Sister Gibbs, she left for the MTC this week! She is going to be such an amazing missionary! Miss you already!!

- We chopped wood for like 4 hours this week and my whole entire body is sore but now I'm hopefully shredded too.

- We had p-day at Presidents house today and it was super fun!!! We have been in the car for 4 hours tho haha. Also kinda funny tho because they said they were switching up the groups to get missionaries together that don't get to see each other at the usual zone conference groups, and we went with Moscow and we always go together.

- I spoke in Sacrament in my family ward and it was great, until our branch president texts and asks me to speak in the YSA next week. Good thing I love the Lord!

Stories of the week:

- HAHA this is so embarrassing. Sister Lundell and I talked to some friends after Sacrament and so we had to go late to relief society. As I go to open the door I accidentally hit the light switch with my elbow. I thought at first it was the hallway light, but as soon as it happened I knew what I had done. I stood there in horror knowing what I had done, and someone opened the door to come turn the light on and saw Sister Lundell and I standing there like dirty culprits! Haha we laughed for like 5 minutes and then went inside and I apologized, I was mortified.

Spiritual thought:

I shared my testimony on prophets this week and all I have been thinking about is what my life would be like without the Restoration. I am so grateful for modern-day prophets and the power of the priest to give us modern-day revelation and guidance! We truly would be lost without a prophet. If you don't know He is the true and living prophet, do what Joseph Smith did. Pray to God and ask!!

I love you all and hope you have a great week!
