The
rest of the week we've just been sprinting and this weekend was our
first trial weekend of our display boards!!! Back to back to back events
- friday, sat, and sunday.
We are booked the rest of the transfer. We have 2 official large
displays done, 2 more done by next week, and by the end of the transfer
we will have 5 smaller boards on the auxiliaries and programs of the
church.
We were getting people to look at it and asking for their feedback
as there's some bugs we have to fix and such. My two favorite
responses:
1. "Well, they say it's testing, but Salt Lake never sends things out without them testing if first."......
"Lady, Salt Lake didn't make this" (ok I said it a lil bit nicer :) )
2. "Have you had the chance to check out any of the displays yet? We would love your feedback!"
"No, I was just at Washington DC Visitors Center and we saw the exact same thing."
"really? the EXACT same thing?"
"Yeah, the videos and everything, pretty sure its the same."
"Thats interesting...because these have never been made before"
(ok i probably said that a little bit nicer too)
We
are really happy with how they turned out and actually got some great
feedback and new ideas we want to try. We can't take any credit for the
beautiful graphics which is what MAKES it - we have the best designer
ever. It's so wonderful to say "This is what we want - place this here
and that there...and make the rest look pretty". We have a really
spiritual experience of how we found and chose her - and man are we glad
we did.
I feel like the luckiest human being on the planet - I get to go to
the most amazing musical events and spiritual firesides at least twice
every weekend. I get to travel anywhere in the mission. This also means I
also don't get any sleep but man it's so worth it. I feel like i'm on
an adrenaline high every day. This thursday
President Packard is attending a mission presidency seminar and we are
creating videos and pictures for him of the displays and how easy it is
to set up to give to salt lake. They are very curious at what we're
mixing up over here. No pressure.
Didn't you love conference! We spent one session at
the church, one at a senior missionary's home and one with our sweet
surround sound we set up in the office. I can definitely agree with
Elder Bednar's talk. I feel like i've experienced some of the greatest
loads in my life...the other day when we were driving in the car i was
thinking about his talk and the words were going over in my mind and I
felt so empowered, so excited. Our physical bodies can only handle a
certain capacity...but our spiritual bodies have endless capacity.
Endless. We can do, be, and conquer anything. We were designed with the
capacity to do so and have been blessed with the gift of the Savior's
atonement so that we can fill that capacity. What a loving
Heavenly Father to give us loads to provide traction to bring us home,
to prepare us to help other's loads, and trust us enough handle and
respond to the loads in a way that draws us closer to him and not away.
Happy Easter! What a great reminder to ponder and study what the atonement really means and what it can do for us.
Love you!
Enjoy a flood of pictures!
