Week 67: the pluto of the mission

Scout Benson

hello hello from the gulf!! this week has been SUMMER and we're loving it. high 70s low 80s. been a little toasty and humid, but not fatal yet. its only february after all. cant wait for april! (just kidding it will be too hot) 


this week was a good one. we had awesome lessons with sherry and dave, who are continuing to work towards their baptisms. both of them came to stake conference which was amazing. the work is progressing!! 


we also had a lesson with selvin this week. we asked him if hed prayed about baptism at all and he goes yeah how about this saturday? well we were shook number one, and number two that wasnt possible so we put him on date for the 25th of march!! how awesome is that. we're stoked. 


this week we also had a sisters conference! so every sister from the mission came to live oak florida. we personally got up at 5 am, and didnt get to live oak till 11:30 their time, then didnt get HOME until 8:30 our time. Yes. theres a time difference. panama city is the pluto of our mission. but it was so good! i got to see my trio which was so much fun. we had good doctrinal discussions and the Spirit was felt. it was really a cool gathering. 


the mission is amazing. its the best thing ive ever done. hardest thing ive ever done for sure, but the best. i love you all and thank you for your continued prayers. :))

However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive.
