The Adventures of Sister Megan Baird: Chasing a goat, zone conference and funeral thrift store.

Hey gorgeous human beings,

Hope your week has been splendid. I would use a bigger word, but that is Sister Rowley's job. By the way, she is amazing and I still love her. She hasn't gotten sick of me yet, so that's good!

This week, I will try to remember the highlights. I'll start with the heading.

So we were going to visit someone and we suddenly see a goat on the road. Not a deer or turkey, the usual, but a goat. So naturally we start to follow it. We chased it for a while and eventually helped it find its way back home. Its name was Bernie by the way, Bernie Sanders..

Funeral thrift store. Saddest service I have ever done in my life. We show up and they have us start pulling all the blue price tagged items. It became basically a game. We would get so excited when we found one. They were seriously hidden everywhere. I loved it. We filled an entire cart thing they had so full. We were pretty proud of it, let me tell you. We also had some golden finds! We found this awesome statue of Christ, the leaning tower of Pisa and other beautiful glass bowls and things. We then start to wonder, oh where are these going. Well come to find out, they were going to their DEATH. We were collecting the items they were now throwing into the trash. Yeah, that was fun. We also temporarily misplaced our phone in the store.. no worries, we found it!! Some kind soul turned it in to the person at the counter.

Now, zone conference!! Oh my goodness. It was amazing. Elder and Sister Martinez were a hoot and gave amazing trainings.

Zone Conference with President and Sister Hymas (California Sacramento Mission President)
, and Elder and Sister Martinez (Quorum of Seventy).

The Drapers and Sister Baird

The whole conference had the theme of obedience. It is so true, the amount of blessings that come as we are as obedient as we possibly can be. Remember you think it could be PAM spray but it could turn out to be bug spray! haha, sorry if that makes no sense.

Also I got to sing with one of my most amazing families down in Folsom. The Drapers came and played for me while I sang. It was incredibly being able to see a family I love so much. We also got to go to their home for dinner as well! It felt fun to be back in Folsom for a little while.

Kristi is continuing to be amazing!! Our goal is to get her and Sam to the temple this Saturday with families. It is such a huge blessing to have a temple so close. The temple is an amazing place to be. The spirit there is so strong. Take advantage if it is close and go as often as you can!!

We are still working with Bernadine. Keep her in your prayers. We are doing what we can to help get through her concerns. She;s amazing though. She came to church this Sunday. Other exciting news, we had three less active members at church this Sunday. It is amazing to see people coming back to the fold!!

Okay, I love and miss you all!! Pictures will come in another email.

Much Love Always,

Sister MJ Baird
