Never Forgotten

One thing I wanted to share with you all was my experience of God testifying to me that He does know me, my worries, needs, everything. Its such a simple, short story but before I flew out here, I journaled on August 1 (I flew out August 3) about how I was only nervous that I'd be at the airport alone and no one would be there to pick me up (🤣) It might seem silly to most of you but to me it was a genuine concern because at that moment it felt like God had forgotten about me already. Everything that was going on really made me question whether He remembered me let alone knew about my existence. I obviously told no one this silly little thing that worried me. I prayed that night that at least one other missionary would be flying with me in case I was forgotten, but when I got there, not. a. single. other. missionary. was. there. So here I am thinking, I am alone. I am forgotten. God must hate me. Oh my gosh why did I come. All of these silly little thoughts🤣🤣 But this past Thursday we had mission president interviews. As I was waiting to go in, I got to talk to his wife, Sister Platt. She looks at me and says "can I tell you something...like truly?" And I was not expecting it but she goes, "President Platt and I honestly forgot about you." Haha I heard this and was just like wowww I feel so loved -_- ??🤣 she then said, "We didn't know you were coming until the spirit told us." Haha now thats supposed to make me feel better, right?🤣 But she starts explaining to me that Sister Davis (a senior missionary apart of the office staff) had thought I was flying in August 4th PLUS the day I flew in was SO. SO. SO. BUSY. for all of the office staff. In addition, they were never told that I was flying in until 4 days earlier. And when its only A missionary (just ONE) it can be so easy to forget so cant blame them a whole lot. (I think she was making up excuses 😉 Just kidding !! Haha I love them) 

Butttt as they were running around the office, helping other missionaries, Sister Platt says the spirit urged them to look at the calendar and they kept ignoring it because they were too busy. But then finally the Spirit said to them, "You have a missionary coming, get to the airport NOW." She followed up saying that they dropped everything they had that day (quite literally haha papers flying around, purses left behind, etc) and sped all the way to the airport thanking the Lord they didnt have a TiWi in their car 🤣🤣 (TiWi is basically a snitch to the church headquarters/mission office on how well you drive🙄🤣) 

Anyways!! Sister Platt told me this and I actually couldve broken down in tears because honestly it showed me that God cares for what I care for. He knows about the smallest little worries that we may have no matter how insignificant they may sound. I know that God answers our prayers and worries specifically to how we will recognize and notice them as well. Sister Platt didnt need to tell me this, but that day was a day I was struggling most and hearing the reassurance that God knows me individually and loves me has strengthened my testimony so much on His love for ALL of us, ALL of His children. So this week, no matter how insignificant your worries may sound or be, let God know them and let Him help you !!! 


And lastly, I SWEAR california is infested with ants at a much higher rate than anywhere else. Its highkey disgusting hahah. I don't mean to complain to God about these nasty creatures He created...but just why🤣 I set down my water bottle for .2 seconds and it immediately has lil ants all over it. So anytime we go to the park and I sit on the bench for our lessons I get SO ITCHY. From head to toe, and I was trying not to be paranoid about bugs being over me at first but then this past week we came home from a lesson at the park & I was studying at my desk then I felt something on my arm and when I looked it was like 100000 ants on me and I look on my desk and my books just had ants all over it too. We will just say that I take a shower everytime after I step in the outdoors now haha...I am not satisfied after showering still because my hair is just dying...my scalp has scratch marks all over so that has been NO fun at all because it hurts to brush my hair/do it haha so if you see me looking nasty in the pictures below, blame it on the ants!! ;) 

I have sooo many. Idk why they keep getting mixed up but I'm sure it'll be easy to match the picture to its caption :)

Blessed week !! Too many funny quotes that I could include in this week's email but my favorite was probably my companion & I walking down the street and a complete stranger yelling, "yall be looking foreign walking down that street" hahah, weird way to hit on someone but very complimentary sir. We were extremely busy . . . As usual !! we never get lunch time, or dinner time. or even breakfast because we are constantly on the go. so we feel extremely blessed that our members will shop for us, feed us, and LOVE us !! never met more giving & loving people. last week I commented on a ladys Tongan dress & yesterday at church she handed me a bag and it was that dress she was wearing !!   But, we have a couple of our friends on date. Athena, May 8th. Deon & Kiana for April 28. And we are working with Lawrence & Lulu right now :) They are all so SWEET ! They're all young too which makes it better because they get to begin the covenant path at a young age ...

Change and Hope!!

hello everyone !!!  I hope you have had an amazing week. There are some big big changes coming this week, I'm sad and happy! I will be transferring to a YSA Ward with 2 new companions...that's 8 companions total for me now...in 6 months hahaha! Crazy. I was released from social media & I am SO SAD. I got a new assignment though and it should be fun. This week has been full of so many laughs and cries. We have a toilet paper problem I think. We have to go to the church OFTEN to go get some toilet paper. We got caught by our AP's (assistants to the president) and they died laughing. I will spare you the details but man, such good times! There are so many ups and downs of serving a mission. Honestly, I question why anyone, including myself, ever wanted to serve a mission hahah. But even through the difficulties, I can find those daily evidences of Heavenly Father in my life. He is in the VERY details of my life. I know that in the end it will be worth it. It doesn't ma...
