Week 8

Wow what a flipping rough week honestly! I feel like I have been challenged every second of this week and man... there were so many times I thought to myself- Well I could just go home and wait until Canadas borders open. Hahaha. But nopeee. I was never told or promised that a mission would be easy, in fact I was always told otherwise!! Haha! So don't worry, I'm staying tough out here !! We are put through so many challenges in our lives, but thats to test, strengthen, and refine our faith. Everything we go through is for our own good and all of it allows us to reach our potential and who God sees/wants/needs us to be. Unfortuneately, people (whether it be our own friends, family, companions, strangers, etc) can get in our path, scrape it up, leave a few rocks, maybe boulders ;) , create a ditch or two here and there which can cause our path to seem more difficult. But God has never sent us blindly on this path, He has given us Christ as an example and the Holy Ghost as a guide. Trust in Him, trust in His power, and walk boldy on the path He's laid out for you. Remember you are never alone! Just like Elder Holland said, "because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so." ☆

other than that, not much to say... had some good lessons and I got some yummy dinners and lunches from our friends so God is taking care of me and providing my means when I need it most. To end more excitedly, Charles baptism is tomorrow !!


love you all, have a good week :)

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 ...

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 Thursd...

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...
