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 in Bothell and she was my STL there! Its been so fun thus far! 


WE GOT FLASHED: 
My first night in Renton, right after transfers, we had a bomb dinner with some members. While we were sharing a message with them, their 3 year old WALKED OUT BUTT NAKED! Tbh not that big of a deal but pretty funny on like no sleep and after a long day.


I LOVE FRONT PORCH LESSONS!!! 
When we can't enter a home, sometimes we will get to teach a lesson outside. My first full day in renton we stopped by an old contact and met our new bff RICK. Rick is from Hawaii and is super sweet. He wants to feel less stressed and knew that talking to missionaries before had helped him. We taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ on the steps to his apartment! He came to church on sunday and he wants to meet with us again!!!! YAY 4 RICK + YAY 4 MIRACLES! 


Not going to lie... im a bit pooped, and i miss my old area. I LOVED Sammamish, the members, the friends and the companions that i served with there. I said some hard goodbyes this week. Which is probably the most difficult part of my mission so far. I love making so many awesome friends but leaving them is SO hard!! 


I'll definitely be trying to focus more on trusting in the Savior and in his plan for me. I am pumped to get to know this area more and meet new friends here 


Proverbs 3:5-6
5 ¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths


Love you all so much!! Praying for you 


Peace out

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...
