This week went by SUPER fast.
We had to take another
super long bus ride to Mendoza for a Leadership Conference. In it, our
Mission President gave us a new rule based off inspiration.
He told us that he wants the ENTIRE mission dedicating 8 to 8:30 to prayer alone EVERY DAY.
So
the next day, I woke up, wrote a little and at 8, I started to start my
personal prayer. It was super spiritual and I am so excited to do it
more.
After I finished, I was filled with the
spirit, and shortly after we got a phone call informing us that the
Prophet had passed away.

This
week I listened to a talk I absolutely loved from a Professor at BYU
who studies children. She did a few studies on Disney Princesses and
what they were doing to little girls. What she found is wonderful and I
love how she learned a few gospel truths in her study.
read about it here:
She mentions in a tiny part something very important
In our princess study we asked preschool girls who their favorite princess was and why. The vast majority chose Rapunzel, likely because the movie Tangled had just come out. The number one reason why they liked Rapunzel was because of the way she looked, with the two most common answers being because she was pretty or because she was blonde. There was only one girl in the entire study who chose Mulan as her favorite princess. When asked why, she answered boldly, “Because she saves China.”
So I guess my new favorite princess is Mulan. Not because of looks at all. Because she saves China. That´s hardcore.
I
care very little about what people look like any more. I think the
world would change if you all cared less about your appearance or about
others.
I LOVE YOU ALL
