Hey ya'll this week was great and i can't wait to tell you about it. So here ya go...my Top 5 from this week:)

1. CONFERENCE: Oh my lanta wasn't General Conference amazing! All about getting back to the basics and bettering ourselves. I loved it! And fun fact. Elder Renlund is coming here to Iowa! I am so excited to hear him and his wife speak. He sounds like a really neat guy. Ahh i just love Conference!!

2.ZTM: This week we had Zone Training Meeting and it was super great! It totally got us re pumped up to be the best missionaries that we can be! I just love meetings like that! Its so good to take some time every once in a while and evaluate life. Identify what you are doing well, what you could be doing better, and what direction you want your life to go and then make those necessary changes one step at a time and life just gets better. Then after the meeting we went to Pizza Hut and man do they have good wings!

3. KNOCKING: So we have absolutely no investigators and we have spent every day this week knocking and trying to find people to teach. We have met a whole ton of people and  most of them were pretty interesting...We met one guy who said he read the Book of Mormon and he said it scared him as much as the New Testament. Haha I think the Old Testament is the scariest but hey, whatever floats his boat! 

4. PUMPKINS: This week at our service at the Y we got to help the kids carve pumpkins! It was super fun but a bunch of 5th graders with knives is also frightening! Most of them didn't know what they were doing but they're pumpkins all turned out super adorable! I love kids! K, family I miss playing with kids/babies soooo much so your guys' job is to make sure that there is a baby at the airport when i get home that i can hold and squish and love ok? 

5. MOSES: So Hermana Moses is in a tri with the STL's and they have a big meeting with the other leaders each month that she cannot go to so this week she came and spend the day with me and Hermana Clark! It was so fun to be with Moses again and oh my lanta she kept us laughing all day! She even bought us lunch and ice cream! It was kind of a party day but don't worry we still worked hard and did all those missionary things we do!

Well thats all for now. Stay tuned for pictures!! As always, LOVE AND MISS YOU TONS!!!! xoxoxoxo, Hermana Rice

Taking notes at Conference ( Apparently Hna. Clark thought it was a big deal)

Zone Training Meeting! This is called the "hard pose". You have no idea how hard is was for me to not smile!
