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 mission, I can see very purely how true this statement is. Knowing our identities as a son/daughter of God is a shield that allows protection against the words of Satan. 


Another thing I learned this week from a sister is, "Satan tempts you to sacrifice the joy in the future so that you can have it easy right now." As each of us know, the law of sacrifice is something no one can escape. Satan tries to tell us that we can have it easy forever which will exempt us from the blessings of sacrifice in the future. Stay true, my friends !! 


There was a lot more that went on in the week but I'll let the pics explain :) 


have the best week ever, 'ofa atu !!

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 ...
