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 !

SO my soa & I (comp & I) were walking around temple grounds in Newport Beach which is covered by a different mission. (Yes we have permission to go there). We saw a lot of missionaries & we took our tags off because we didn't feel like talking with any of them (it was a ROUGH week for us to say the least) & yet somehow some elders managed to talk to my soa while I was looking at the temple. She walks away with them & I was like ?!...

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...

YAY for August. our wards are going super hard for this month on missionary mindedness.  ☆ anaheim 8th samoan ward camp !! finally it is over. we only dropped in at night but boy am I exhausted from it so I can't imagine all the members who stayed 24/7 lol ! every night there was a big event, movie night, talent night, and a fiafia dance night. it made me so thankful to be in this ward so that I could experience their culture but also see some REAL love between everyone !! they said, tasi alofa. one love. & they were so right.  ☆ we had a 2 hour testimony meeting on Sunday :)) it was very very very long. but 6 of our friends showed up. true miracle. however 2 hours. poor souls hahaha.  they didn't mean to do that but one lady talked forrrever so our bishop just let all those who were already in line go up... which happened to be an extra 20 people. however ...
