GENERAL CONFERENCE

Dear friends and family,

I don't believe I can express to you well or fully enough how much I LOVE the church. And also our dear, sweet prophet. I know that Russell M. Nelson is called of Heavenly Father and that he is the only one able and capable to guide this church and this world! My heart was overflowing with happiness as I listened to the words of our Prophet and apostles and other church leaders. 

One theme that I noticed throughout the sessions of General Conference was enduring with joy! Life can be extremely difficult. We all have experienced many trials and afflictions in our lives and truthfully, we have a lot to look forward to. And that's just it, if we can learn to look at our trials with a Heavenly perspective, we will see that true happiness and joy comes from not having trials, but learning from them and learning how to have a better attitude through them. Sometimes it can seem hard to smile when you only recognize the negative things in your life. But the Savior has taught us throughout His life to walk by grace and to love one another. The reason I'm so dang happy and joyful is because I know that everything is going to work out for our good! And this is because we have a Savior, Jesus Christ to rely on and turn to and have more peace in! What a huge, massive, fat blessing! There is no need to be afraid or be sad when you have someone like the Savior on your side!

So funny stories from the week!

I made cinnamon rolls for Conference. Obviously, if you've ever seen my mom's cinnamon rolls or tasted them, you know that bigger is better and if it doesn't have cream cheese frosting, you might as well give up. Well, I made my cinnamon rolls a normal massive size, and as I was dishing them out, every single person who walked by said: "these things are ginormous!" Yes. Yes, they are. So this little girl and her mom join us at the church with her friend and the girl came up and asked for a cinnamon roll. Of course, it was getting later and she probably shouldn't be eating sugar at that hour, but she wanted one and I couldn't refuse. So I take one out of the pan and give it to her and I kid you not, that thing was bigger than her entire head and she ate it so fast, if you blinked, you would've thought the cinnamon roll was just in your imagination. Sufficed to say, when that sugar hit her system, we were all done for. It was too much for her little body to handle. Her poor mother! 

Also, we went to help one of our friends move this past week! It was really fun and we were laughing the whole time. It's his first apartment and his mom was frantically dusting and sanitizing everything in the apartment. She was a sweet lady. I moved a small table in and everyone kept asking, "You got it? Are you okay? Do you need help?" It was hilarious that they thought I needed help with just a small table. The trickiest part was the drawer that kept sliding out. It really wasn't terribly heavy but everyone stopped and just watched me to make sure I didn't drop it or hurt myself. It was adorable how worried his mom was! By far, my favorite part of the morning was the baggie that was outside of the back door stoop, nailed to the frame. It was a bag of 6 pennies and 1 dime and the word "hell" written on the inside. The guy we were helping said he threw it away and I told him he probably should have burned it  Scary and spooky stuff for this Spooky month. 

As for transfers coming up this Wednesday, Sister Baroldy is being transferred out! I'm staying for a third transfer here and leading out this area a second time. It's not so scary. I'm excited to get new ideas and a new set of eyes on the place so I can work with a little extra effectiveness! I am sad to see her go, but she's gonna do great and I'm 

excited to meet my new companion! 

Have a fantastic week everyone! If you haven't gotten a chance to watch General Conference, I strongly encourage you all to do so. It is a revelatory experience, because it is the words and messages which your Father in Heaven wants you to hear! 

I love you all! Thanks for joining us on this episode of Jiggy and Wigglepops. Don't ask questions (My companion dared me to end the email like this. Boom baby!)

Love, Sister Morrison 

Onwards and Upwards!
