IAKWE :)

Hello Iakwe! Here's this past week! Enjoy :))

Monday♡
We went shopping in the morning and prosed throughout the day since we would have a all day pday on Wednesday. We weekly planned in the afternoon and then headed to some lessons. We have a friend named Arjen in the Marshallese ward and we decided to go visit him since we haven't been able to get in contact with him. We knocked his door and he answered! We taught him a little lesson on the doorstep and in the process of us inviting him to be baptized his wife (I think) opened the door and screamed at us telling us we aren't allowed to be there and to never come back. She slammed the door but we continued to teach him since he wasn't phased at all and neither were we for the most part haha. She did it again so Arjen decided to get in his car since he was on his way to work anyway and we left. Sad, because he actually really wants to meet with us and be baptized! But all things are possible through Christ! We also met with Sage for her last lesson before her baptism interview! 

Tuesday♡
CHRISTMAS EVE YAY still had to pros tho. We spent the morning calling all the sisters and their district leaders to check up on them and then since we had all the sisters christmas presents we became SANTA CLAUSE for a few hours and went out delivering their gifts. We had a mini pday in the evening with the zone and did a white elephant gift exchange and a devotional. 

Wednesday♡
CRISTMAS DAY YAY we just hung out with our zone, called the fam and opened presents! Lots of fun! 

Thursday♡
Went out to find and met Quanita. She's a cute little marshallese lady who's down to meet with us. Sage also passed her baptism interview! Yay! 

Friday♡
We had district council! Did a bunch of planning and then in the evening we met Darlene! Darlene's husband is a member but she's not, when we first started talking to her she said she wasn't interested but she started opening up to us. We shared a scripture with her and invited her to church and she said we could come back! We also met Sabrina! The missionaries met with her in the past and when they invited her to be baptized, she said no. But a few months later when we invited her to be baptized on January 18th she said yes! We're excited for her! 

Saturday♡
Sage got baptized! She's amazing! We didn't find her to long ago but has followed through with everything! We also met with our friend Vanessa who got baptized a few weeks ago! We talked about her baptism and she said it was the best thing ever and that she had an amazing feeling when she got confirmed! 

Sunday♡ 
We went to church and spoke in one of the wards! We had a bunch of meetings and then went to visit our friend, Lyla. Lyla's ready to be baptized the only hold up was getting permission from her mom. We went and put her on date for this weekend since we got permission! Yay! We also went to go visit a marshallese referall names makayla that some other missionaries found. She was sleeping when we went by but we met lilly, who's 9 and wants to be baptized! Yay lilly! 

spiritual moment: 
Moroni 10:18 And I would exhort you, my beloved brethren, that ye remember that every good gift cometh of Christ! :)

Have a great week!

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 ...
