Staying....for a 4th again

 Hey y'all! General Conference was legendary. Spot on:)

We had transfer news, and I'm staying for a 4th in downtown San Antonio. My companion, Elder Kendall left our area after one transfer and I stayed. I guess God still needs me to find someone....or like 10. Which means I better keep grinding and finding!!

Elder Cotter, who is my homi, is leaving to his ordinal assignment in Mexico and I'm going to MISS HIM. He left his LUXURIOUS weighted blanket. #blessed

A lot of our General Conference plans fell through:( EXCEPT!! We had a 15 year old get dropped off and WOAH, he was very attentive for TWO HOURS to the broadcast. He paid better attention than me!! Said he liked it! We asked how his BoM reading has been and he literally said "It's been fruitful" Like HUH?!?! KING. 

Spiritual Thought
I loved the talk about Spiritual Rays. I've truly had so many experiences where I saw and felt God in my life. It was something you could physically FEEL. But I can't dadgum REMEMBER so many of them. The little miracles when we set goals and they came to pass, or the priesthood blessings, the sacrament meetings, the baptisms, the lessons, and when God HEARD MY PRAYERS when I felt I was working all alone. I HAVE LOST OR WILL LOSE THESE MOMENTS if they are not recorded. So!!! I am now making a list of Spiritual Rays so together they can become like that Pillar of Light that Joseph Smith saw. I then will be able to bear my testimony alongside his that, "I knew it, and I knew God knew it, and I could not deny it." 

This Church is true, the Book of Mormon is the word of God, families can be together forever, President Nelson is a prophet, and I can become who God needs me to be by using the greatest gift of all time and eternity. The Atonement of my personal Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. And I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen. 

-Elder Higginson

Fractured my foot?

  It's been solid. I might have fractured my foot last pday playing soccer. I swung so hard at the ball but hit Sister Vaughn's foot instead and smoked myself. It got all swollen and red and purple for a few days. But it was doing better! Enough for us to play spike ball as a district every morning for exercise lol. I've got no time. Photo dump

My dad got hit by a car?!?

Image
Phew!! What a week.  It was crazy. I got a text on Wednesday that my Dad got hit by a car while riding his bike to work. I was like GASP. He fractured a bunch of bones on the right side of his face and sinus, but he's okay thanks to the miracles of God. Like seriously, God was watching over him. Me and my comp immediately started pouring out our hearts in prayer for my dad. And he's okay! Thank you Heavenly Father that I can still see him during my life on Earth:) God is such a legend for that, haha! Spiritual thought: My mind took an eternal perspective this week because of what happened with my dad. It's crazy how fast something can happen, and it really made me realize how much I cherish my family. Family is EVERYTHING. It's literally what makes Heaven, home. Truly makes a person "think Celestial" when an accident happens. We are truly blessed having the knowledge of God's plan--don't take advantage of it!! Miracle lady: Found a really cool lady who

  WOAH.  LIKE WOAH.  I MEAN WOOOOOOAAAAAH. This week has been crazy! So much has happened. First was coining on the military base. The sun was out and it was HOT! Someone passed out and fell straight on their face on cement and got reallyyyyy injured so they totally changed the coining ceremony. People were dropping like flies. We went to the graduates under one of the training facilities, and there was a HUGE FLAG.  CAR CRASH?!?!?! Yup, I went to Heritage, which is a biking area, and we were flying down a hill on the ride side and a HUMONGOUS RED.... Prius...SLAMMED INTO MY COMP.  Jkjk that was over exaggerated. But my companion is fine, just got sideswiped by it. We got all the information from them, and I pressured them into meeting with us at least once because they ran into my companion, lol. I'm all about finding those Nations, haha. The person driving was a kid who just had his permit and he didn't even signal. ELECT DUDE: Put a super cool man on date! First lesson was t
