SO SICK!

Literally :)

Sister Lybbert has been sick this whole week and I felt fine (which it´s always been the other way around for me on my mission until now) but then last night right as she´s feeling almost all the way better besides a cough is when I got sick. The Elders gave me a blessing so that was nice. I got my essential oils out this time though and I know I don´t feel as bad as I would have right now because of those two things. We are hoping I´ll feel 100% soon so we can get back to the plow and make our last week together AWESOME. I´d just like to bear my testimony of eternal marrige, I´m thankful I´ll get married to my best friend for time and all eternity so that it´s longer than two transfers BUAHahha.  Love you sister Lybbert. (she gets tired of me telling her that.) #awkwardlove #I´llmarryaman

Well someone had a "great" idea to watch all the general conference sessions on Sunday, So that´s what we did. We showed up at the church at like 11:30 as they were ending the priesthood session (BYU-IDAHO´S MEN´S CHOIR HOLLAAA i saw like 5 people i know hah) and then had a lunch break and then watched the Saturday sessions and then the sunday morning session live all in a row... 6.25 HOURS OF SPIRITUAL FEAST! we didn´t get permission to watch the sunday "afternoon" session here this time, (in october we did) it starts at 9pm and goes till 11pm portugal time, and that was too late for us missionaries so we still haven´t seen it. I am hoping we can watch it later today. It was in the last hour of the sunday "morning" session (that started at 5pm here live) that i started getting the hot and cold chills and body aches and a sore throat sickness. I am thankful for my DoTerra lemon oil, (for my b-day could you send me another one of those mother dear? i´m almost out .. Ü)  (with a spoonful of honey helpes the lemon oil go down) that helped my throat not hurt as much. 

Well as for spiritual experiences this week we didn´t have many outside our own house (as we were inside it most of the week) But i love personal study time. I WILL ALWAYS MAKE TIME FOR THIS FOR MY WHOLE LIFE it´s so worth it and so necessary... everyone TAKE and MAKE TIME TO READ THE SCRIPTURES and Ensigns and Liahonas and PREACH MY GOSPEL (holla Elder Ballard, you continue to be my favorite #notbiased) 

OLIVIA IS AWESOME she´s the one who got baptized on the 18th of March and she´s already being a missionary to her brother (who was actually a contact of ours before we even met her) and helping him gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon. Also an AWESOME family in our ward is helping her and her two sons integrate into the branch faster, they went over and visited them and their son João Pedro took Bruno (olivia´s son) to seminary (where it was just them two there haha but it´s probably better that way. private religion classes! haha)

I LOVED learning what the word Religion meant in General conference! DUH Knowing portuguese i should have noticed that so much earlier! Re-connecting with God. LOVE that. The word for connection in portuguese is ligação, so re-ligação--» religião. WHAT. STELLAR. I´m gonna share that with the people we meet on the street sometime. 

K WELL my time is up in this library but not for my alotted p-day time, we´ll see if we can get on again later heh heh but for now TTFN :)
