Dressed in White

hi everyone !! it has been such a GREAT week :) 
2 of our friends were dressed in white this weekend as they were baptized & confirmed members on Saturday !! 
- Damian was first & he was so sweet when he got to bear his testimony. only 10 years old but he had so much to offer to the Lord that day. I had the wonderful opportunity to be with him every step of the way in this baptism, I love little kids & how much they love Jesus Christ !!! 
- Cilla was next !! she is so amazing. she is expecting a baby boy in a few weeks so she really wanted to push for Saturdays date so that they could eventually be sealed in the temple. I am so so proud of her !! she enveloped everything so easily & to hear the things she was doing without nagging or pushing was truly special. I'm grateful for her example she set to me by her determination !! 

we also got to top the week off by visiting the Newport Beach Temple. my soa went inside but I stayed outside with our friend, Ahzira. this girl is fr my best friend !! if you ever wanna know what she's like...just imagine a California version of me lol🤣 there's honestly nothing I love more than to watch people feel the spirit...and seeing one of my close friends do so, is such an underrated blessing !!
I invited her to do a 2 week detox from all things that God would disapprove of && she IS doing it so effortlessly !! we talk every single day, she participates in a church related activity everyday, studies & prays each day.....and I've already witnessed such a change in her & it only started 4 days ago !! So, I'm very proud of her <33 and plus, we got to go play mini golf with her & her family so that was also fun !! 

I hope you're doing wonderful at home ! the weeks are getting closer to the day. Some days I'm sad & other days I'm excited lol !! Love you all, have a blessed week!

Blessed week !! Too many funny quotes that I could include in this week's email but my favorite was probably my companion & I walking down the street and a complete stranger yelling, "yall be looking foreign walking down that street" hahah, weird way to hit on someone but very complimentary sir. We were extremely busy . . . As usual !! we never get lunch time, or dinner time. or even breakfast because we are constantly on the go. so we feel extremely blessed that our members will shop for us, feed us, and LOVE us !! never met more giving & loving people. last week I commented on a ladys Tongan dress & yesterday at church she handed me a bag and it was that dress she was wearing !!   But, we have a couple of our friends on date. Athena, May 8th. Deon & Kiana for April 28. And we are working with Lawrence & Lulu right now :) They are all so SWEET ! They're all young too which makes it better because they get to begin the covenant path at a young age ...

Never Forgotten

One thing I wanted to share with you all was my experience of God testifying to me that He does know me, my worries, needs, everything. Its such a simple, short story but before I flew out here, I journaled on August 1 (I flew out August 3) about how I was only nervous that I'd be at the airport alone and no one would be there to pick me up (🤣) It might seem silly to most of you but to me it was a genuine concern because at that moment it felt like God had forgotten about me already. Everything that was going on really made me question whether He remembered me let alone knew about my existence. I obviously told no one this silly little thing that worried me. I prayed that night that at least one other missionary would be flying with me in case I was forgotten, but when I got there, not. a. single. other. missionary. was. there. So here I am thinking, I am alone. I am forgotten. God must hate me. Oh my gosh why did I come. All of these silly little thoughts🤣🤣 But this past Thursd...

Change and Hope!!

hello everyone !!!  I hope you have had an amazing week. There are some big big changes coming this week, I'm sad and happy! I will be transferring to a YSA Ward with 2 new companions...that's 8 companions total for me now...in 6 months hahaha! Crazy. I was released from social media & I am SO SAD. I got a new assignment though and it should be fun. This week has been full of so many laughs and cries. We have a toilet paper problem I think. We have to go to the church OFTEN to go get some toilet paper. We got caught by our AP's (assistants to the president) and they died laughing. I will spare you the details but man, such good times! There are so many ups and downs of serving a mission. Honestly, I question why anyone, including myself, ever wanted to serve a mission hahah. But even through the difficulties, I can find those daily evidences of Heavenly Father in my life. He is in the VERY details of my life. I know that in the end it will be worth it. It doesn't ma...
