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!!

Pushin Through!

TALOFFFAAA!  it was a pretty alright week. I was really ran down into the ground aka exhausted from the week prior. My body really gave out on me & I got sick for a few days so I was out of the work for a second. But I'm back, lively as ever lol! This week was really hard honestly. On top of being sick, I found out one of the families I am close with from Long Beach, the dad is on his death bed. I struggled knowing this but God really pulled me thru. It was everything to me to be reminded of His wonderful plan of salvation. I feel so blessed to be in this gospel !  Some things that happened this week ☆ i got called up last minute to speak in stake conference . . . it went well lol ! I am a fan of public speaking so :) but I was very stressed. The spirit was telling me to go thru my study journal the entire meeting & I just KNEW I was going up to bear testimony but it wasn't until last minute the stake president had announced my name lol.  ☆ we had a talent night w...

Absence

The clock strikes 12:47am. My companions rush hurriedly to the door. I make my way down the stairs, trying not to fall asleep. As I felt the cool air brush against my face, I pull my blanket to me, angrily mumbling. I stare at the asphalt covered in droplets of rain but when I eyes revert to whats ahead of me, I deeply longed to go back in time 20 seconds prior. My heart sunk deep in my stomach as if it was the titanic. I look to my phone and the word 'absence' appeared as my daily common word from the Word Web app. I chuckled at how ironic this vocabulary applied to my very situation in the moment.   Our car was absent.   We won't go into detail but we actually found our car hahah after like 20 mins, we are just dumb ! I actually laughed so hard when I saw the word absence though because I truly felt called out by my own phone haha. But it was a wild adventure... I got to spend the night at some sisters apartment on the hardwood floor. Got 3 hours of sleep with a 6 hour me...

Saviors light

Hi everyone ! This is such a late email, but I just wanted to send a quick letter home !!  This week was, as always, full of miracles. I witnessed God's hand & promises unfold as this week we really dedicated ourselves to His work. Well, we had no choice BUT to do His work this week lol. I am in the best ward ever !! They are all so missionary minded && keep us very, very accountable. I am stressed, anxious, exhausted, but never has time felt so fast & joyful. Every night I'd get about 4 hours ( IF I WAS LUCKY ) of sleep. One day I was up for 21 hours just doing work & it was the most energized I felt all week. I look back on this week truly shocked. Because no way could I have done what we did without the Lord strengthening & enabling me !! Our Samoan ward has 522 members plus our Tongan ward has 200 - 300 ish members. SO, we made it a goal to meet everybody in both wards. In addition to that, the stake president asked if we could invite members on ever...
