INSERT SOMETHING WITTY HERE

Pageant is over!!! Ah! 
 
Things are finally going to start slowing down, but it definitely is bittersweet. 
 
 
 This week my aunt and uncle came with there family and I was able to give them a tour of Carthage Jail! It was kind of a crazy tour, but it was amazing to be able to show them what I've been doing here on my mission! I just LOVE seeing family!!!! :)

Cousins!




















And then today Sister Perkins from my home ward found me and brought me a TON of stuff! SOOO NICE! Literally all of my favorite things: lip stick, oreos, snickers etc....SO PERFECT!!!



 
Just like every week, I don't have a ton of time!
 
One of the best things that happened this week was with some youth, of course! We had a Young Women's group come, and I was able to give them a tour of the jail. I don't know why, but during my testimony at the end I just kind of started rambling...Talking about how the one thing that got me through High School was thinking about my future family, and how my choices would affect them and I don't know what else. It went well, and they left.
 
Then the next day, a girl stopped me at Pageant and said, "You're sister Pugmire!!!!" And she began to tell me how she was in that group and that all the girls couldn't stop talking about me, and how crazy it was that everything I said in my testimony was something they needed to hear, and was even something they had been talking about THE NIGHT BEFORE. Isn't the spirit the craziest thing EVER? It was so cool to talk to her, and I was so grateful that she told me all of that.
 
 
I also received an email this week about a girl who heard my farewell talk that was used in a lesson. Like...what??? You literally NEVER KNOW how and when the things you do will affect people. It's amazing. I know that there is nothing better that I could be doing with my life than being here on this mission. It's so obvious to me that this is where I am supposed to be! 😍
 
I also gave a tour to a group of seminary teachers this! talk about intimidating! But they were SO NICE and I loved being able to talk to them. :)
What else even happened this week....
 
Last night we went to the YPM sociable and oh my lanta it was AMAZING! There is nothing in this world that's more powerful than music. Nothing. They leave next week and I am going to miss them! 
 
Today Sister Butler and I had a "photoshoot" and it was a lot of fun! I love her! I honestly love everyone I've met here, and I can't imagine life without them.
 
 
 
 
Not a ton happened this week, but I hope all of you are enjoying life, and listening to a lot of good music.
OH THAT REMINDS ME
 
Song of the week:
My Life is Like A Chase Dream- Moving Mountains
 
I haven't been able to get it out of my head. Someone listen to it for me :) ♥
 
I love you all so much!
