Sister Taelor Florek: Bismark temple and Newtown Reservation

So this week was pretty sickk! we had alot of fun this week thats for sure!

Tuesday we had ZTM(Zone training meeting) and got trained on some sweet stuff from our ZLs and STL. we talked about repentance and the sacrament. its so important that each week we attend sacrament meeting and partake of it was worthy members. There was an awesome video we watched that i suggest you all watch. its https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2016-03-0021-the-savior-understands-me?lang=eng Its easily my favorite. we then emailed today and got frozen yogurt with Sister Will and Ewing because they were getting ET(emergency transfered) this week. We drove to MAFB and checked out a memorial they had for Sister Ewings Uncle. we talked with alot of the Airmen. it was so cool! Im so thankful for the sacrifice they all make for our country. we then had dinner on base with the Bakers family. It was sweet! the wife is from Japan and she cooked us some yummy Japanese food. They also have the cutest kids every! they have the funnest FHE! we acted out Enos and played Red light green light.

Wednesday we had a lesson this morning with a new 'gator named Israel. turns out he wasnt home and he dropped us yesterday(sunday) so that sucks. We then got into our comfy clothes and drove down to Newtown to help Sister Will and Ewing down there.. im so sad that S. Will left. I love her to pieces! Ok so Newtown is an Indian Res, so that was fun to see one. DEF was not what i was expecting it to be. But nonetheless cool and scary. we moved them in, met the Elders that are in their district. There is an Elder Madsen who went to lehi. He graduated a year before me! it was fun to talk to him and talk about our mutual friends. we came back and went to mutual to help out.. we went on splits with the Laurels and Priests. I took a laurel and a greenie out to a neighborhood(so i was basically the older senior comp. which was sweet!) and handed out BOMS and got 2 Potentials!!

Thursday we went and had a media hour. read and listened to some talks and vids. we Then had lunch with our recent convert Camie. had a good chat, We then went and the ZLs and S Greene planned for our Zone Conf.(which is tomorrow) we aare going to Bismark for that. we then taught and had dinner with a recent convert. we taught their daughter. We then went to institute on Base. I LOVE GOING!! we talked about the Atonement and also read in Hebrews.

Friday our car was supposed to be done, but its not and wont be for a while! soooo dumbb! but ohwell. We then had exchanges and i went to the first ward with Sister Wright(MY HOMIE) so that was fun. We had a lesson canceled with their 'Gator on date.. which was sad cause Hes a sweet guy! we went back to the apartment and basically did nothing.. for like and hour. The Elders in First ward(elder Gines and Baird) asked if we could go with them to lunch/dinner at applebees cause they had gift cards. that was yummy! we had dinner at a members on base. im so jealous of them cause they are moving to KOREA!!! We drove home, got ice cream and watched the Emma Smith Movie and fell right asleep!

Saturday was an awesome day!! WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE! Camie, our recent convert, was going to do baptisms for the dead for her first time. us missionaries wernt allowed to do it without family names so we watched her. The temple workers let us do Confirmations tho.. probs to pitty us! but none the less it was a great experience!! The Bismark temple is super small.. like really really SMALL!! we had lunch in Bismark aswell. we ate at this really Getto/old diner/Bar called Space Aliens. Just picture Toy Storys Pizza Plant but with a wholle bunch of aliens.!! soo sick!!! We drove back, went and saw Jen Nork. We talked about God love and enduring to the end. She such a strong women. She is going through so much but is continuing to have so much Faith!!

Sunday we started weekly planning.. didnt get it done. went to ward council. This time Elder Daley and I stayed out. we played games with a ward members kids. they are crazy. We had church. alot of youth spoke on using social media to help share the gospel and to be a example. i guess you could say it like that. I encourage you to do what you can to share and help others come unto Christ. We Had 2 Dinners tonight...#FAT The first one was at Elder and Sister Crocketts. we were gonna have a gator come but he ended up not being able to. But Brother Lawrence, a member of their ward. Hes a pretty sick dude! and some one else that they new. i cant remember his name cause it was weird. We watched that video that i suggested that yall should watch. had a good discussion, but we had to leave to get to our next dinner. we ate at the Christensons again. I guess the just love to feed us😏 i aint mad about it tho. hes a culinary chef! Theuy are a hoot aswell! i think i say that every time. we talked to their kids about not being dissapointed when their friends dont want to learn about the church or get baptized. We had a grand'ole time!
