It's been a good weekend and two days. Thanksgiving dinner was delish. Friday was a zone wide exchange so I spent the day with Sister Adams which was really fun. As part of the exchange there was a competition of which companionship could get the most challenges done out of 25 things. So sister Adams and I had to leave a caroling voicemail to one of our members but everytime we tried to sing we just started laughing. We eventually gave up and just told her merry Christmas and apologized. Luckily the member we called is super cool so she didn't mind.
Sunday I had to lead the music in sacrament meeting which was a little embarrassing bc I had to lead some song I'd never heard before and so I had to pull the old 'write your name in cursive because no one is actually looking'
Also the big news today is that I'm actually transferring and so is Sister Toone. Our area is closing so the elders in our branch are taking over the whole branch. So I'm going up north and getting another trainer to finish training me. So that's exciting.
I was reading about integrity this week and really enjoyed it. In Elder Christoffersons talk called Reflections on a Consecrated Life he says 'Hypocrisy is terribly destructive, not only to the hypocrite but also to those who observe or know of his or her conduct, especially children. It is faith destroying, whereas honor is the rich soil in which the seed of faith thrives.'
And and elder was talking about how he often gives advice but rarely lives what he tells people. So I encourage you all to join with me in looking at your lives and thinking about if you practice what you preach. Because people know when you are someone who lives by what you believe. And I know that we are most content with ourselves when we are an example and know we are doing the right thing! I love you all and hope everyone is well!
Love,
Sister Seibert
