This week went by SO fast, I thought yesterday was P day, but here we are again: sitting in the laundry room and emailing. I know a lot of good things happened this week, but I can't quite remember what they were. BUT the general authorities are here right now and that is pretty legit, except we aren't allowed to go into the same building they are in, and if we see them we are not allowed to approach them. Our district keeps making jokes like:

"Do not approach General Authorities"

"They are more scared of you than you are of them"

"Do not tap on glass, it will scare them"

We got 710 new missionaries on Wednesday and I knew one of them! Katie Calderwood is now right across the hall from me!! Because of the general authorities and the increase of missionaries, we now eat in the gym and outside. BUT that means the food is way better because now it is catered or grilled :)

Devotional on Tuesday was SO GOOD. Elder Nielson talked about that success is not just measured on the amount of months there, because one convert can affect generations! He told a story about a guy that he taught in the pouring rain and he didn't think it would go anywhere. But, he was wrong, his one convert, Brother Ekland, made an incredible impact. 20 yrs after his mission: Brother Ekland became a Stake President. 35 yrs after the mission: Brother Ekland helped open up a temple in Finland. Last year: He met Brother Ekland's grandson, who is serving a mission.

You canNOT measure the amount of success you have as a missionary JUST based on the amount of time you spend there.

Reason for the title of the email: My roommate, Sorella Huntzinger talks in her sleep. One night, we were all laying in bed (not talking) and she blurts out, "It's not even morning yet!" and I automatically just told her to go back to sleep cause I knew she wasn't actually awake. Then 2 minutes later, she sits up and tells us a story about her dad and then lays back down. THEN 5 minutes later, she says, "Why does everyone keep saying it's morning??" We all busted out laughing. The end.

Smile at someone today!

Love y'all,

Sorella Meager

God doesn't give up on us and His work never stops.

No one is you and that is your power
