6 Months!

Hey guys ! 

This week wasn't very eventful compared to last week but here's a little run down 

On Tuesday we visited a inactive lady names Patsy and were able to share a message with her. Her great (great?) granddaughter also lives with her and is obsessedddddd with snakes so I got to hold not one, not two, but THREE different types of snakes + a gecko 

During weekly planning we decided to call some of our friends about meeting for lessons since they never answered our texts (the audacity). We're teaching these two girls, elementary age, so we called their mom asking for a time to meet and she said they're busy the whole week except for right now. So we didn't end up finishing weekly planning and ended up having a pretty fire lesson 

That same day we also had Dallin's last after baptism lesson! Such an awesome family we will miss meeting with them every week. 

We also had the Holmes girls last required lesson in order to be baptized which was super exciting ! They're super ready we're just trying to help their dad do everything he needs to to be able to receive the priesthood so he can baptize them :). Pray for brother Holmes please! 

Wednesday was my 6th months as a missionary! SUPER CRAZYY it's gone by so fast ! Celebrated with brownies + a upside down 9 candle hehe 

On Thursday we went a visited a sweet old couple who spend a lot of their time with their 3D printer. It was very cool actually and they gave us lots of cool toys on the way out (+ a mtn dew) 

On Friday we had our last zone council of the transfer and went to chickfila for lunch. I also got an amazing box of sunshine from my auntie + some other family members ! It was so creative and I love it soooo much, especially on that very rainy day, literally! Thank you SO much! :)))

We also had a amazing lesson with our friend Fernando. We originally planned on teaching the plan of salvation but instead I felt prompted to completely change it up and we taught something completely different. The spirit was so strong and I think it's exactly what he needed. We also invited him to be baptized!! He said he'll think about it but we really think and hope  we'll be able to put him on date soon. His wife was also super supportive about it !

On Saturday I was able to watch my grandma's funeral service over zoom. Super grateful for technology. We were also blessed to be fed by some amazing members that day and got fed curry for lunch and chicken alfredo for dinner. Yumm 

Sunday we went to church and went to a few sacrament meetings and then we had our stake correlation missionary meeting. We had another awesome meal and got fed lasagnaaa. Super good! We knocked on lots of doors for pros with not much luck but we're able to meet with some awesome members! 

Spiritual moment:
This last week was still a bit rough for me but I really loved this verse I read in one of my personal studies 

Alma 38:5 And now my son, Shiblon, I would that ye should remember, that as much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day.
 
I lovvve this scripture. It gives us a promise. As we trust God during our trials we will be delivered and lifted up! How amazing! 

Love y'all lots! 

Sis laws :)

Hey y'all! Happy late Thanksgiving! I started a email last week but never got the time to finish it so this week's email will cover the last 2 weeks.  Anyway, Im SO grateful for all of you and your support and im SO grateful to be a missionary and represent our Savior Jesus Christ everyday! Its truly been such a blessing!  Thanksgiving was a blast and something you should know is that my mission president, president Watson is very competitive and very athletic. He's done 5 iron man's. He crazy. SO on thanksgiving morning all the missionaries ran a 5k with President and his family. It was so cold, I've never ran in colder weather, but it was so fun! After that we went to a members home to have thankgiving with them! Super grateful for them!  Here's some amazing miracles that happened the last 2 weeks --->  Joshua and carson got baptized!

A Week Of Many Lasts ♡

HELLLLOOO FRIENDS! on a scale of 1-10 on how crazy this past week was I would say a 5. so that's pretty good. No car accidents this week. Hallelujah Ahhh but this week so many bittersweet things happened so let's begin!  So first. We went on pros exchanges! Keep in mind that Sister Reidhead was still recovering from her surgery and wasn't with us for a few days but even though Sister Faimanu is only in her first transfer she was totally willing to split for a bit to do exchanges. She's awesome! I went with Sister Howton in my area, we had a bunch of no answers but met a cool guy names Ray from Fiji. Even though his wife is a member and he had kids that went on missions AND has read the book of mormon he's still not a member. We testified of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost and eternal families but man is stubborn and just refuses to progress even though he admitted to feeling the spirit multiple times as we were speaking so idk but he was nice though I had my ...
