BABIES, BONK, BEDNAR

I finally had my embarrassing moment on the mission . . . I was talking to a group of sisters & our mission presidents wife and I was telling them my companions favorite quote when we leave an event, "let's make like a baby and head out" but instead of saying that I said, "let's head out and make a baby" but to make it worst I didn't even catch what I said until 15 minutes later after everyone was done laughing & separated so I couldn't redeem myself . . . I regretted my existence in that moment hahah but thats totally fine !! another funny thing is that my comp & ethan were comparing arm muscles and he called her muscles "speed bumps" and idk why that was the funniest definition to me hahah & the reason why its titled bonk today is bc ethan gave me the nickname bonquiqui bc i had my hair all braided & we did role plays in zone council so they used that name but some couldn't say it so they call me bonk instead lol but more exciting news hahah -- we had Elder Bednar join us this last Saturday & boy it was nice. I told an apostle my mission has been pretty mIsErAbLe (not anymore tho just certain experiences, I promise Im all good hahah I'm super happy right now:) )  . . . but plz email back and tell me what you've accomplished in life. Ahaha. Oopsies. After I said it I was like 👁👄👁  but hey its okay he honored the honesty hahahah. But he had amazing insights to give & such wonderful advice. As he talked to me about turning to the Savior, he commented on how we tend to turn back & forth but we need to fully devote ourselves to stay facing Him. Its all sorts of different revelation I received during the time we discussed but how RELIEVING it was to just ask all of my burning questions to someone who knows the man upstairs. Dang, it felt good. Also, I just wanna say something I loved that he said -- "A prayer begins when you say amen" 🤍 But anyways, I love you all ! Have a wonderful week :)

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 ...
