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!!

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...
