I asked myself this question way too many times this last week.
**Fair warning it will be a long email...sorry.
CATALINA. CHURCH. COMPTON.
For a video, we got to go to catalina with our president & his wife, the APs, & the missionaries who are actually on Catalina Island. It was so sick. Even though they booted me out of social media, I still got to go thanks to my amazing ex-companeras. Apparently all my great friends, APs & comps, pulled me a good one during the Catalina meeting so I got to leave my duties & head out to the island for the day !! Bless their lil hearts !! On the ferry boat we saw a bunch of dolphins & we played some uno. I got wrecked but maybe if elder taggart & spendlove were there I couldve won hahaha jk. But we rented some golf carts and traveled on the island to 2 look out points. It was so beautiful there. It felt like a mixture of Greece && South America honestly hahaha. After going there, idk if I'd go back though bc there are some major steep hills...my legs are still dying 2 days later lol. I have slept amazing the last few days though bc of it so I should consider adding stairs to my workouts !! But basically everywhere you walk is just uphill which is why everybody & their dog have golf carts to travel !!
Since I was transferred to a YSA ward I finally got to go to in-person church !!!! this isnt a flex to my fellow idahoans but hey. I havent been to church since I left for my mission so I have to mark this day as a GREAT one :')
When I first got here I was told that no sisters would ever serve in Compton...well I proved them wrong. Compton is in my YSA area since its big !! Its honestly really sketchy there. When we went I could definitely tell I was in the ghettooo (ratatata)
Yep. Those are all I truly wanted to say this week. It was a really great one. I was truly spoiled . . . Besides the fact I got the 3C's, I even got to move twice this week. It was wild. We spent all of Tuesday & Wednesday moving. We were in the big ghetto & I am super broke to pay for laundry since they give us $85 to live off of for 2 weeks so I asked my amazing friends, the APs, if we could move to an apartment with laundry and voila. Here I am living the lavish life with my laundry done on a Friday morning. Hahaha but as for the more important things, I wasn't much of a participant with the true missionary work this week since I was gone for Catalina, however, I did get to finally teach a few lessons for the first time in 12+ weeks !!!! My heart is far too happy. I never realized how much I missed teaching !!! && lastly, this week made me much more appreciative of my mission. I have honestly lived it real good when I look back. I have been given more opportunities than most to smile && be happy. But this email has gone on long enough, I love & miss you all ! Have the best week ever.
