Hey everyone!! We have had a busy week over here at the Mormon Battalion - busy but good!
The coolest thing I have to say is that we get to work inside the temple now!! It's a rule that proselyting missionaries can't work in the temple, but since we're not proselyting missionaries, we got it set up to help where they need us a couple times a week. So far we've gotten to help in the laundry and in administration! So we helped fold temple clothing (I folded over 100 pairs of men's socks 
) and I got to help record name cards for different ordinances that have been done for our ancestors who have passed on! I feel like it's been so cool to see how systematic and orderly and neat everything is in the temple. The Lord's house is a house of order! I'm kind of sad that this is all happening at the end of my time here haha but still so grateful for chance I get to be involved in it at all! Historic site missions are the GOAT

Historic site missions are the GOAT We had 50+ mandarin speakers come in for tours on Saturday morning (luckily they gave us a heads up) but we don't have any mandarin sisters here yet so we had some mandarin elders come and help us talk to them and we had translators in all the tours. So we played the videos in mandarin and gave the tour to the best of our abilities in English and waited for the translation after every part. It was interesting haha but I'm so glad all those people could come in and take the tour still
My bestie Caitlin stopped by the Battalion the other day and I got to see her:) she's about to leave for her mission in Chile and she's gonna kill it!
Because it's my last transfer, I get to go to preach my gospel bootcamp! (Basically an MTC refresher getting us ready to teach again) President Top was a dean of religion at BYU for many years so he knows a LOT about the gospel. Role-playing and teaching him about the gospel is intimidating to say the least haha but he makes it fun and it's been super helpful so far
Missionary work is awesome, any form it comes in! Have a good week everyone. Jesus loves you
