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 :)

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...

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 ...

Choose to Stay ...

hello my family and friends♡ I miss each one of you so much !! I love each of you as well. I have been searching every reason as to why I'm here. Why am I apart of this church? Why am I a member? Why do I decide to go to church every Sunday? Why did I decide to make covenant(s) with God? **Why do I choose to stay?** For me Ive noticed the gospel has given me structure. It is something that allows me to recognize there is greater potential in myself as well as in others. I feel like I have been stripped to the core by trials and its only been 2 months in my mission waaa hahah. Every aspect of my testimony is being tested and every detail of it is being questioned and tried by God to strengthen me and my testimony further. IT. IS. HARD. Despite these challenges and trials, I choose to stay because of the feelings I have received from God testifying of this gospel. No matter the experiences, no matter the trials, no matter the hurt, anger, shame, hatred, envy, and sorrow that we can e...
