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 Atonement! He truly overcame everything that we experience. Being able to physically see the changes she was able to make *as a member* was inspiring. It shows that the Atonement is not just for those who are investigating the church or those who have sinned. It is for all who accept healing.

As for the title of my email haha. We are teaching someone named Ethan and he is such a brat !! He experiences severe depression so we have to go to his house and sit at his door until he comes out since he likes to sit in his room all day and be sad. so this last week we went over && the only thing you could hear were his dogs barking whenever we knocked. then I got a phone call from him & he said he was at the park...lies. Sister Satini got close to the phone & she went up to the door and knocked again and you could hear his dog, Pickles, barking in the background. hahah so his dog snitched on him and then he finally came downstairs and we went on a walk that was 3.4 miles !! eek. 


anyways, this has dragged on far too long already. have a good week!!

love you all,

sister fin <3

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...
