I love miracles

hey everyone !

we had transfers last week and I am staying in social media. I'm super excited for it because we get to do a lot with it !! I run the instagram pages and my other 2 comps get to take care of Facebook pages so all of us have our own area to be creative and I love it !! We send out so many referrals every day and it's just great to see a lot of people interested in the gospel especially during covid & christmas!! 


sooo manyyy miracles have happened this last week in our area. We started teaching Kartier again (I am soooo happy about it. I begged the elders last transfer to give her back to us since she was in our area but they wouldn't hahah maybe that's why God kicked them outta Atherton this transfer😆 just kidding) but last Wednesday we had a lesson with her and she had to postpone her baptism because of a few things she needs to pay off first. So we extended another baptismal date in 4 weeks, and she declined :(( She wanted to push it to the end of February instead because she doesn't think she will be able to pay off some things by the end of 4 weeks. However, we really, truly felt that she needs to be baptized much sooner so we tried to convince her but nada!! So we asked what would need to happen for her to accept an earlier date and she said: "A miracle. I need a 2nd job but I just don't know how realistic that will be." 

well, after many prayers that night, we received a call from Kartier the NEXT morning of her smiling, laughing, and just happy as can be. It turns out, she received a call from a store that she applied to EIGHT weeks ago. She got the job and started 2 days later. 

I LOVE MIRACLES !!! 


but I have learned a lot. I have really come to know that any trials we go through AND any joys we feel that God is alongside of us always. When I look back on the experiences I have had in life, I can truly envision angels round about me. Whether it was on my knees pleading to God or laughing on the couch with family, I can see angels ministering. God always keeps them near to protect us and show His care. I have felt God's love for me in so many ways !! I wish I had more time to explain, however I hope you all have a great week & love you all !!


ps im about to hit 5 months tomorrow, that's whack.

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...
