Tasi Alofa

good morning !! 

what a very blessed week it was. as usual :)

here's the rundown:

☆ its missionary month !! 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 they ended it with a huge meal to break the fast !! yummy!! 


☆ migooo | I've been talking with him for awhile now and something has always told me he had questions about the gospel but I never really got the opportunity to talk to him, until this Saturday !!! we had a really awesome talk on the plan of salvation while playing basketball & honestly I sat there in awe because I knew Gods hand was directing the entire situation. 


I feel like there's so much to say about this week but such little space. But my testimony was really strengthened this week. I realize that God is literally my LOVING Heavenly Father. Christ is my Savior, Redeemer, and Brother. The companionship of the Holy Ghost is a necessity. Whatever it may be holding you back, DON'T postpone the companionship of the Holy Ghost. You need Him & all 3 the are willing to hold you again. I love you all. This gospel truly creates tasi alofa. 

Manuia le vaiaso :)

Pushin Through!

TALOFFFAAA!  it was a pretty alright week. I was really ran down into the ground aka exhausted from the week prior. My body really gave out on me & I got sick for a few days so I was out of the work for a second. But I'm back, lively as ever lol! This week was really hard honestly. On top of being sick, I found out one of the families I am close with from Long Beach, the dad is on his death bed. I struggled knowing this but God really pulled me thru. It was everything to me to be reminded of His wonderful plan of salvation. I feel so blessed to be in this gospel !  Some things that happened this week ☆ i got called up last minute to speak in stake conference . . . it went well lol ! I am a fan of public speaking so :) but I was very stressed. The spirit was telling me to go thru my study journal the entire meeting & I just KNEW I was going up to bear testimony but it wasn't until last minute the stake president had announced my name lol.  ☆ we had a talent night w...

Miraclllllles

Such an amazing week !! as the weeks pass on I'm getting worst & worst at writing these lol. But it was such a great week that I couldn't skip it !! There were so many miracles.  ☆ One of our friends baptism, Athena, keeps having her date pushed back because her grandma was stuck in Alaska. So, we fasted on Sunday then two days later the grandma came home !! #blessed she has a solid date of next Saturday.  ☆ Our member kept texting us to visit this random household & we finally found the time to do it a few days later. We showed up & they were so sweet !! The Letele family told us our member invited them to our wards Father Day Dance which is why they gave our member their address and number . . . I'll tell you right now there is no Fathers day dance . . . Bahahah but they're very interested ☆ We have a group of kids we are trying to teach from the same family (Schuster & Faletoi) & they randomly hit us up bc their mom invited us to their family gath...

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...
