4 months!!

Hey everyone! it has been a week full of miracles (as always, ha!) but i don't know if i explained that we work *all* day with social media so they took our area away... then they gave it back to us but we have had no time to work in it whatsoever (which is okay because we share it with 5 other missionaries) but none of us wanted to lose our teaching skills so we had this 2.5 hour meeting with our president last Sunday about our schedule, social media news, and etc. so after being told we could work in teaching whenever we wanted, we decided to make goals to find people instead of just goals for social media. before i say the miraculous news i just want to emphasize that we literally have not touched any work in our area for 2-3 weeks !! but when we finally made PLANS to work in our area, God blessed us with 4 referrals the NEXT 2 days. when we make plans and God sees our intent behind them, He truly provides. Its like the story of the brother of Jared. God did not tell him to go get a rock so he can make it light or tell him the exact things to do in order to breathe on the boat... but what He did was let the brother of Jared make plans and then God supported him. One thing I admire is the brother of Jared's complete humility and faith. I cant imagine myself ever bringing God a rock...but I realize that I do that every day. The effort I give can be as simple as a rock...can be as incompetent as a rock. Yet God never laughed. He was actually pleased with the brother of Jareds plans, and so He is with our efforts. Though our ideas and efforts may be perceived as "just a rock", God makes up the difference !! oh also I just hit my 4 months yesterday so thats crazy. 

well have a good week, love yall !

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...

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 ...
