Yorba Linda...Long beach

helloooooo from the wonderful ocean breeze, long beach !!! ☆ after just a few short 5 weeks in yorba linda I have already been transferred to long beach e !! I just wanna say I have never been more thankful to move out of mountains and be by the ocean than now because BOY it has been scorching hot. This past weekend in YL it reached 112° and I wasn't having it haha !! but an fyi we had transfers yesterday so thats why my p day is today !  my new comp is Hermana French and she is also reassigned from Cancun, MX !! sweetest thanggg ever !! we already eat breathe sleep together honestly I just adore her. Mainly because she cooks for me...just kidding haha but she is a really good cook so I'm not even mad. But another amazing thing about transfers yesterday was that I got to see the one and only beautiful Hermana Siepert !!! I. Have. Never. Been. More. Excited. Yall. Hahah a piece of home is THE BEST ♡


However!!! To the good stuff !! This transfer I found out a lot about my relationship with God. I have become way way way more understanding of His plan for each of His children. I have not fully given my life to Him, and it has made things very inconsistent and difficult in my life !! I switched around my goals and priorities and now I am just a happy happy gal !! One of God's greatest gifts to us is time. The reason being is.. where you put your time is where your heart is !! But I know yall got some busy lives so I'l rephrase and say, where you put your **free time** is where your heart is. In my "free time" (due to covid), I just want to kick back and relax and do nothing but scroll through Facebook. However, Gods asked us to feast upon His word and if we are doing that in our free time can you just imagine how much more meaningful time can be used !! I get so stressed when it comes to becoming better because I expect myself to be perfect by 7:05pm tonight. Which is just not realistic. But with priorities we can manage that stress !! I have so much free time that I am even picking up Maori. Haha!! I love learning the Maori language and can feel God really helping me with it. Who knew !? This is something I've always wanted to do but "didn't have the time" but really I just didn't have my priorities straight. So spend your time wisely folks !!! Another thing I wanted to say is that God cares for what you care for !! Enough said :) 


But not a whole lot this week besides transfers and CHARLES BAPTISM !! That was so spiritual and amazing. I love him and his kids oh so much !! I also had to say goodbye to my favorite members, the Pugmires from Soda🥺 It was such a sad night for me honestly hahaha...I just have met so many amazing people in the last 5 weeks...I never wanna leave!! Yorba was great to me but I'm excited to see what's in Long Beach/Atherton !! But gotta blast !! 🚀 (Jimmy Neutron reference in which I pray that every one of you understood that besides my family hahah)


Have a great week!!

I loved this week

This week was one for the books !! It was a crazy busy week & the days just flew by. I realized I don't share too much about my week or anything too spiritual lol but that can change !! So to start off, Monday night our entire mission got chastised by the president lol. Then Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday we had exchanges & Sunday we had a baptism with David !!   It was a week of A LOT of self reflection & seeing the areas I can improve . . . plus a lot of fun !!   This weeks exchanges I got to be with Sister Ratcliff, Sister Mattice, and Sister Ware !! I learned a lot from each sister & since it was a self reflecting week...I asked each sister & every return missionary member what they learned from their missions && believe it or not, every single one of them said they learned their identity as a daughter of God. It was tender to hear because I do forget my identity as Heavenly Fathers daughter, very often. Seeing the past experiences of my miss...

Thanks Pickles!!

Kia ora family&friends !!  I have heard rumors that our world is still crap. That has to be rough out there. I feel so protected and safe here. But it was a great week, we were able to invite David to be baptized...if you dont remember, he was* Atheist about 1.5 weeks ago! Except he just barely sent us a YouTube link to why mormonism is false and asked us to give it a thought . . . so keep him in your prayers :))  Another amazing person we have met is already a member, but she got out of a psych ward 3 weeks ago. When I saw her, you could tell she was not in the right mindset and just overall her vibe was depressing. She struggled a lot feeling God's love, but she wanted so desperately to feel it. We taught her about the Atonement of Christ and left her with a few tasks to fulfill. This last Saturday we saw her, and I have never seen the Atonement of Christ comfort, care, and heal someone as much as I did that day. I have such a strong testimony of the reality of Christ's ...

Choose to Stay ...

hello my family and friends♡ I miss each one of you so much !! I love each of you as well. I have been searching every reason as to why I'm here. Why am I apart of this church? Why am I a member? Why do I decide to go to church every Sunday? Why did I decide to make covenant(s) with God? **Why do I choose to stay?** For me Ive noticed the gospel has given me structure. It is something that allows me to recognize there is greater potential in myself as well as in others. I feel like I have been stripped to the core by trials and its only been 2 months in my mission waaa hahah. Every aspect of my testimony is being tested and every detail of it is being questioned and tried by God to strengthen me and my testimony further. IT. IS. HARD. Despite these challenges and trials, I choose to stay because of the feelings I have received from God testifying of this gospel. No matter the experiences, no matter the trials, no matter the hurt, anger, shame, hatred, envy, and sorrow that we can e...
