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.

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...

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...
