Rio (0:00)

Good morning, surprise. I'm back, I'm here.

Good morning, everyone. Okay, there we go, we're on.

Megan (0:13)

Hi.

Rio (0:16)

Welcome. Surprise, it's Rio, I'm back. At least for today. I hope to maybe join a lot more next semester. I'm so excited. Good morning, everyone. Happy Thursday. This feels so good to be back here. Okay, we, there's Megan. She's just so good.

What? We get to talk to you guys about prep week and conference right around the corner.

Yay. Oh, you guys and your warm welcomes. It's so good to see you. Hi, Megan. Hello.

Megan (0:52)

This is gonna be so fun. I'm so excited.

Rio (0:54)

Fun. I know. Oh, I need to tell everyone, don't worry, we're not in the closet, except that we kind of are, because I don't have a closet. So it's just the whole of my room. But this is the best service I have in my little cabin. So here we are.

Megan (1:06)

I love it. I'm in my kitchen, and Teddy's literally in a fort on the couch for Inklings today. There was no writings. There's no time for another bunny right now. So Teddy might join. I have suckers to the side if I have to like walk over there and convince them for just a little bit longer.

Rio (1:22)

Okay, that's perfect.

Megan (1:23)

Yeah, that's what it looks like when two moms have to do Inklings, right?

Rio (1:27)

No, I know. It's so true. This is so fun, though. I am so it feels so good to be back here. It's been a minute. I told them they might see me more next semester. I hope for you.

Megan (1:37)

We were asked when I got on, my mom's like, we need Rio too. And I said, oh, come on, do both of us on Thursday.

Rio (1:43)

We'll do it. That's perfect. Yay. Okay. Well, prep week. I was telling Megan this morning, I was like, I actually have done a fair amount to prepare myself. But when that happens, then my kids don't get as much prep. So it's either one or the other, I swear every time. I get all the candy and snacks, or it's me.

So this year, it was a little more of me.

Megan (2:05)

Yes, I was getting ready this morning. I was like, I've done really good this first half, but I'm filling my to-do list of like, I didn't do their conference GMs yet. I don't have the snacks. I don't have all my activities. I'm like, okay, Thursday and Friday is gonna be a kid's prep for a second, because I just thought a little behind because I was doing my own.

Rio (2:22)

I know. And I even thought too, because if people are just joining, like, we could even just go through prep week as like six things to do to prepare for conference. Instead of like, you miss Sunday and Mondays.

Megan (2:34)

No, that's exactly what I did. Here are six ideas. And that's, I even said, I want to change the workbook to be that one.

Rio (2:41)

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Megan (2:43)

We need to look at our week, and everyone's is different. So, just know, next workbook, let me have a mindset.

Rio (2:49)

I really like that idea.

Megan (2:51)

I just want, I felt it, now I've done it. I was laughing last night with Tycee, he's like, you're going to go on Inklings again? And I was like, yeah, I'm terrified.

I didn't even do conference prep week with Inklings last time. So I like quickly scrolled back on Instagram and found like conference prep week. It was like, I better watch this. So I know like what I'm supposed to say, you know?

Rio (3:10)

No.

Megan (3:11)

So I was capable to myself that was like, it's just different. So here we are, me and Rio are going to be different today and do our best.

Rio (3:17)

It's so true. It's so true. I just realized too, I have like an Instagram limit on my phone that I forget I have. It might tell me I need it. So if I jump off and-

Megan (3:26)

And you disappear and come back.

Rio (3:28)

Well, we're just doing a quick one today. It's a quick one anyway.

Okay, well, super fun. So let's go through it. I have thoughts randomly with each day. So should we just start at the beginning and just talk about one of the first things we can do?

Megan (3:44)

Yes, I just loved, I love Sunday and I love Sunday specifically on Instagram because you ladies showed up. Like I have just loved going back to that post and like reading everything that you're asking for in prayer. So Sunday's theme is ask someone how you can pray for them specifically this week. And then we gave you some ideas.
