Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARNIE YOU ARE THE GREATEST AND I HOPE YOU HAVE THE HAPPIEST, MOST DANCE AND SMILE AND HUG-FILLED DAY! Sending little love waves across the miles; do you feel them?
Well. This week an old man tried to kiss me right on the mouth. I have not come this far just to be kissed now, UH UHHHH ☝
We also have seen some crazy things in the streets. Hermana Hawkes and I just kinda stare in awe sometimes and then we look at each other and there's nothing to do but laugh.
We had a zone conference with our zone plus one more and it just so happened that it was the zone where all my cute happy past companions are!!! So I got to see them all and give 'em some tight squeezes. This transfer as a mission we are focusing on receiving revelation in the work. There is a quote by Joseph Smith that says something like "You can not have received the Holy Ghost without receiving revelations". I thought that was so amazing! I think sometimes we see revelation as something huge or something that only the prophets can receive, but I love love love the emphasis that we have seen - especially since the last General Conference - on the need to seek personal revelation and to do it frequently. Also with this quote, we know that if we have been baptized and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in our lives, and are living worthy to have him as our companion, there is NO WAY that we are not receiving revelations. I love that and it has really made me stop and think. Looking back, there have been so many times that I have received revelation and guidance in my life, but I didn't even recognize it in the moment!!! Heavenly Father truly loves us and wants to help us and give us the answers and the guidance we need.
I love y'all and I hope you have a super duper week. I hope you hug more people than usual!!!! <3
Love, Hermana Siebach
