Bonjour mes amis!
Another week come and gone. I can't believe that August is already half over!! Crazy how times fly, ya know?
Speaking of time, he and I aren't on speaking terms so if you see him send a dirty look. He's being rude.
Anywho. This week was actually kind of fun. First of all, we went on a hike today which was absolutely wild. Pics to show at the end of this. Turns out my entire district (who are not all featured) are a bunch of nerdy guys. They were playing video game soundtracks and talking about different games and levels. They could actually recognize what game and level and every event in the game based on one music track. They talked about Minecraft and Assassin's Creed (apparently, it's a joke??) and a few others but I have nothing to say or add soooooo.....oops. we had fun and that's all that mattered! Plus, I got to see and talk to other people!
And speaking of, we actually got to go to Zone Conference in person! We wore masks for four hours, but we survived! I was with 25 other missionaries and it was so wild. Only one other set was from my actual Zone. But it was nice to see some familiar faces. I saw a couple of Elders I had served with and they were just the same as always. And there were two Sisters I knew and that was awesome! It was awkward to "catch up" because we had to stay 6 feet apart when talking or being with one another. Interesting for sure! But we talked about patience, love, and enthusiasm which is always great. My Mission President is on a kick right now. He loves hope and enthusiasm! He's a positive and upbeat person by nature and so he loves to be with people and float around talking to everyone. He's taller than I thought he would be. He's been my Mission President since May 1st and I'm just now seeing him for the first time. Crazy crazy times!
Side note: I've made 4 loaves of banana bread this week. Needless to say, it's been a good week. Grandma Letha's recipe continues to make "the best banana bread I've ever had." And I've got a order for two more loaves. If you haven't had it, well I guess you'll have to get the recipe or something. It's literally the perfect banana bread.
You know, this week I just can't stop thinking about how perfect God is. I mean we were created by Him and we try to be more like Him, but He is perfect. More than perfect, He's also powerful. And incredibly, He is also completely loving and forgiving. We were able to do a Live for our area's Facebook page, and we talked about life before earth and life on earth. And you know what? If Heavenly Father has taken the time, energy, talent, skill, attention to details, care, and effort into not just creating us, but also a plan for us and helping us stick to that plan, there must be something pretty dang special about us. I have yet to figure it out because we are literally nothing without Him. But just remember, God is the most Supreme Being. And of all His creations, using all His power, He decided to create you. And if that doesn't help you love yourself, I don't know what will. You are amazing people. Never forget you are worthy of pure love.

《Et maintenant, mes fils, je vous dis ces choses pour votre profit et votre instruction ; car il y a un Dieu, et il a tout créé, aussi bien les cieux que la terre, et tout ce qui s’y trouve, tant les choses qui se meuvent que les choses qui sont mue.》
Câlins et bisous, Sœur Morrison
Onward and Upward
Que Dieu vous bénisse
