Snoozin & Schmoozin

What a crazy AND awesome week! 


WE FOUND A FRIEND!! We got a referral and had been playing phone tag with her for a week or two. BUT ALAS... we finally got ahold of eachother. Paulina is the cutest lady!! We gave her a Book of Mormon on Thursday, a church tour on Saturday and she came to church with her 3 freakin cute kiddos on Sunday! Sister Wallis and I are really looking forward to teaching her more this transfer.


When our lunch hour hits, I normally eat something at lightning speed then race for my bed to get in the most time for a nap. Lately, I haven't gotten to my naps and its really taking a toll. We have some sweet older ladies that we visited this week and it did me so dirty. Picture the sweetest, kind old lady speaking to you with a calming little voice while you're sinking into her freaking comfy couch.... it really be takin everything in me not to be caught snoozin this week.


Festive decor update: WE GOT A TREE! The members be loadin us up fr! Basically every week our apartment gets more and more festive. Truly a Christmas miracle ️
PLUS my rockstar mom (kstew) came in clutch She sent us some Lindt advent calendars so we've been starting our mornings off with a little chocolate. It's safe to say our schmoozing as missionaries is paying off, phew 


It's been really awesome to see all the good that the holiday season is ALREADY bringing!! I love how its centered on Jesus Christ. His birth is significant because of what He did in His early ministry: healing the sick, feeding the hungry and comforting the lonely. He is my greatest friend and example! May each of us strive to bring more GOOD into the world, not just at Christmas but everytime of the year


Hope you all are doing swell! Hit my line with some updates and let me know your crazy holiday plans!! P.s. didn't think I'd miss having snow, but I do be havin fomo fr
Anywho love you so much!!! 


Peace


google photos link as always but this time not many updates because my app is ️broken️ SCORE! Prayin the church gets that fixed real quick

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...
