October 3, 2016 "October General Conference"

Hello everyone! It's been such a crazy week that just flew by!! I feel like It was just Monday.. 

Last Monday was actually way fun. We played pickle ball with the Elders. We told everyone to pose like this.

These wannabe sister missionaries were spotted in Stanwood, Washington on September 30, 2016 at 3:19 pm. If you hear of any suspicious activity or havoc running a muck please contact your local stake president. They must be stopped. 

Exciting news! We found some new investigators named Juan and Maria Corona! They are the cutest couple! Just look at them!

But really, we did find some cool new investigators this week. I love our investigators so much. Friends forever with all of them. I know I'm definitely here to meet these people. One of our favorites got us these car decals at the Christian book store in Everett because we told her how much we loved hers. Best gift I think I've gotten so far.

Ahhh General Conference was this week and I cannot tell you how excited I get every time. I used to not listen too much during conference and it was kinda like nap time before my mission but now I feel so terrible because I'm pretty sure I missed out on a lot of amazing stuff. Luckily most of what the talks were about repentance this time around. Ya live and ya learn I guess. One of my favorite talks was President Uchtdorf who talked about how we often take what we have and what we know in the gospel for granted. We aren't excited about it enough sometimes. I've had some time to reflect on that and how I can be more enthusiastic about everything we share. I used that in a lesson we had with one of our new investigators on Sunday night. His name is Greg. I think I talked about him before. He's golden. We were teaching him about the Book of Mormon (also a lot of good talks about that as well) and I tried to express to him my excitement about the Book of Mormon. We told him how amazing it is and took him through it, showing him some of my favorite stories, testifying of its truthfulness and how it can be one of his greatest treasures. Before we even invited him to read it for himself he said "oh man, I will definitely start reading this. I'm really excited!" It made me so happy to hear that. President Uchtdorf's talk gave me a good slap in the face that I should be more excited about everything that I take for granted in the Gospel. I have so much to be excited about!

 Here's the only pic we got at the stake center when we watched conference with the zone. Not sure what happened

We do service at the thrift store in town and they exiled us to the storage unit outside where there are just heaps of junk and they let us loose in there to sort through it all. 

It's officially October and Halloween is in full effect over here in Stanhood. There's a woman in the ward who has these creepy (and slightly inappropriate) mannequins..

and this demon baby.  Happy Halloween, ya'll!

I almost forgot! This week I had my first mission food poisoning!! I woke up at 2 in the morning and just threw up everything. I was honestly just kind of stoked to be able to say that I have a food poisoning story from my mission. Good times. 

I love you all!! Transfers are next week so I will let you know what happens! I doubt they will let Sister Moody and I stay together because you can't keep a dream team together for too long. The whole state might be baptized if you do that! We wouldn't want that to happen. Okay have a gr8 week!!

Love,

Sister Krummenacher
