I ate horse

happy week !!

time means nothing apparently bc its going so fast. this week was so good. we found 4 new families to teach & im so excited for all of them bc they're definitely solid !! one of the people was found bc we hecka broke his ankles. he challenged us to a game of bball with his nephew Esaia & even though Sister Satini & I were in dresses, we still won .... 3x bahaha. The deal was he had to come to church & let us teach him 2 lessons so it was worth it. God was on our side for sure 🙏🏼 

Also, I got to eat horse this week for the first time and it was delicious but made me super sad lol. Poor horsey. Anyways, I am doing great & miss you all so much !! I have learned so much about God's love for me. God helped me get thru some hard trials in the last few months and I am so thankful to know that He delivers us in all things. Alofa atu !!

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...
