ZONE CONFERENCE
So right now me and my companion (Sis. Liggett) are covering two zones. So we had zone conference for both of those zones in which we gave two 45 minute trainings in. It was an exhausting week but seriously so much fun to see our ideas come together. For our zone we did couples yoga and for the other zone we did a science theme. Not to toot our own horn but we actually killed it.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT 
This week I had the cool opportunity to clean the chandeliers in the Edmonton Temple. Our temple has been closed for a couple weeks now for cleaning. A lady reached out to us and asked us to join her for cleaning the chandeliers. The lady that had reached out told us that her calling was to clean the temple chandeliers once a year. If you are like me I had no clue at all that that was a calling  If you are also like me you would have absolutely no clue that they clean each crystal individually. If you are also like me you would probably be thinking why do we have to clean each one individually... seems pretty tedious to me. Anyway so as I was trained how to clean the crystals she relayed that you wont be seeing dirt on your gloves simply due to the fact that the crystals and chandeliers are already clean. Our job was just to make them shine more. As I sat in the sealing room cleaning each crystal individually I thought about the resemblance those crystals had to me and you. Each and everyone of us are accounted for in God's eyes. He knows us. He knows our needs, fears, and desires. Jesus christ cleaned us all individually. He suffered the sins for each one of us individually. He also knows us perfectly. So as I sat there cleaning the crystals I realized that God accounts for everything and everyone. Every single crystal matters just as much as every single soul matters. He wants all of us to shine. He wants all of us to be made clean through his son Jesus Christ. 

I love and miss everyone!!! Thanks again for the sweet messages!!! Have an amazing week!!! 
Sis. Monson
