5 MONTHS

We had transfers this week...


Drum roll please.....Sister Wallis and I are STAYING in Sammamish. That was very anticlimactic my apologies!!! BUT this is her last 6 weeks as a missionary so im going to be SAD when she leaves me!! Along with like all my other missionary friends in January! RIP.


The festivities have continued and we have been crazy busy with all types of Christmas extravaganzas! Lots of members have given us christmas presents.... but Sister Wallis won't let me open mine early. Don't fret... I still get away with shakin those thangs to guess whats in em.


Hit my 5 MONTHS mark yesterday. Crazy how time on the mission legit goes so slow and super fast all at once! Grateful to be in Sammamish Valley with Sister Wallis for Christmas! We have a lot of fun together. Plus, we have found a couple new friends that are progressing and both of the wards I serve in are so awesome!! 


With the Christmas season, we have been focusing a lot on what gift we can give to the Savior. I think what Jesus Christ wants from us most is to have our heart. To have our hearts focused on giving, loving and forgiving those around us and doing it more frequently. Definitely trying to put in more effort in those areas this Christmas 


I don't have much more of an update from this week but there will sure be something more entertaining to share next week!!! AGAIN I love you all so much. Don't forget it ;) 


P.S. incase you were wondering... we were at the church from 9-5 yesterday. I am living on a prayer. 


Peace brothas

Greetings From RENTON

Heyyy bffs! This week was absolutely nuts, I swear the weeks keep getting more chaotic everytime.  My BESTIE KAILEY SANNAR left me, then I was in a LIT trio with Sister Johnson and Sister Debloois! They are so fun. We went on a GOOD dab spree for those couple days. However during our time together we each got white wash calls (which means they take all the missionaries out of the area and replace them with new ones). Moral of the story, all together we whitewashed 4 areas. So that was interesting, kinda stressful but we survived. TRANSFERS: I love going to transfers and seeing so many friends!! I got transferred to good ole R-Town. Renton is more south in the mission than I'm used to so I'm excited for a change. South= a more humble crowd and it's already been very cool to see how willing/open people are to learning more about Jesus Christ.  My new companion is Sister Melton, she is a sweetie cutie petite little dumpling sugar plum! I served with her i...

Not So Funny

This week was awesome!!  We did lots of service and got to help out with all the kiddos in church yesterday! PRIMARY PROGRAM GOES CRAZY, we've been helping them prepare for their performance for a couple weeks now so it was really fun to see it put all together! Also a miracle that I got some of my bffs to sing #blessup  FUNNY (not so funny) moment of the week: we had to drop our friend. Sadly one of our friends.... was tryna be a lil more than friends with Sister Wallis. He had me straight up third wheeling so that was amusing but not for Sister Wallis. Rip Gary. Officially been a missionary for 4 months!! Even though I have a lot more time left, I've been reflecting on what I've experienced so far! Quite sure I say this every week, but I have been SO blessed! It is WILD to see how what I believe has changed and grown. It is a miracle in itself that I am here serving but even more so how many good things I have been given while doing so! My mission has shown me how ...

HAPPY MONDAY!!!  Got to go to the temple on Friday with friends and it was SO fun! We grubbed at cafe rio after and this dude was tryna get our church address but it was a little sus how bad he wanted it so we are gonna send the Elders his way Funny story from this week! I was on an exchange with the stls and a car of boys asked for our numbers. It was a pretty funny interaction telling them how we are on missions and we don't date for a couple years Anyway enough with the weird things that happened... this week so awesome! Sister Hatt and I are bffs!!! We get cracked up about stuff all the time and I feel so grateful that she is my companion, the transfer is flying by so im gettin a wee bit nervous that change could be coming my way. However, I know that whatever happens will be for a reason and it will help me learn and grow!!!  As I have been more immersed in the scriptures on my mission, I have found so much joy through reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon! I...
