148

So much happened this week! 

We met Analee this week! Her husband, who's a member of the church reached out to us and told us how Analee was interested in learning more! Since having a kid their desire to have Christ in their life and attend church grew so much! We taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ and she told us that she'll be baptized when she's knows the Book of Mormon is true! We're excited for Analee!

Went on a pros exchanges with sister V. We spent the night biking around trying to find people but sadly no one opened their door. We were able to have a lesson with their recent convert, Beth, who was so sweet! 

I also went on 24hr exchanges with Sister Earl this week and that was a lot of fun! She covers ASL so we did a bunch of video calls to contact people. We knocked doors the majority of the day and we were able to meet Melanie who's not a member of the church! She was super open to learning and had lots of questions about the temple! She's super busy as she's still transitioning to the US from Venezuela but we can see her progressing really well in the future! 

We had MLC this past week and it was so much fun, we got exciting news that in the month of September we hit 148 baptisms as a mission which is our mission record! Previously it was 141. We were able to go to the temple for a session to celebrate! 

Rosemary got baptized this week! Rosemary got excommunicated a while back but still had the desire to be a member of the church! The missionaries have been visiting her every week and she invited us to her baptism! 

We called all our friends and recent converts this week to remind them about general conference. We called Aeto and Alica and got the great news that Aeto stopped smoking and he said "I feel so good!" It was so sweet! 

General conference was this weekend and it was SO GOOD!!! I was able to attend the Sunday afternoon session in person and that was a great experience. 

Also, temple in El Paso TX?! YAYYY

 I'm so gratefull for the time that we have twice a year to hear from our living prophet and apostles! Every talk that was given was so good and I definitely received some guidance on how I can continue to come unto Christ and what I can do to be a better disciple of Christ. Here are some of my favorite takeaways (I really had to narrow it down haha)

As we strengthen our faith in Jesus christ were able to see beyond the struggles.

Hey y'all! Happy late Thanksgiving!

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 ...
