This week has been good, we had a few service projects, which were great. 

Tuesday was Zone Meeting, which was really good, but I am excited for Zone Conference tomorrow. Wednesday we went to the park and met a Sister in the ward who had invited her friend. We were able to talk to her a little and introduce ourselves. We also decorated sugar cookies with a member and took them around to her neighbors. That was a great way for us to get to be seen and also help the member. We shared this idea with other members and on Sunday we made cookies with another member and gave them to her landlord. Also on Saturday we taught the Activity day girls in the stake. We got to teach about Light and how to be a light. These girls are so smart and they know exactly how to be that light for others. We were so amazed at them. I learned alot from teaching them, they taught us. We also helped a member do some yard work. we pulled some weeds and then we dug out a rose bush. That was fun! I found out this week that Emily is getting baptized on Saturday and that Josh and Diana are also getting baptized in March! I am excited for them. I am glad that I was able to teach them and to be a part of that.

I have learned a lot about obedience this last week. That was the focus of our Zone meeting and I found some scriptures this week as I was reading in Alma. So Alma 50:20 and 22 talk about how the Nephites were happy and they were victorious because they were obedient to the commandments. That is what they are here for. Commandments bless our lives so much! I have seen little blessings each day from being obedient to the little things. I know that I have the spirit with me even more when I choose to be obedient to the rules, the ones that seem silly. 

I hope everyone had a great Valentines day! and that Ethan and Emily had good Birthdays! I love you all Have a fantastic week!
