Hey boys

This week was awesome!!!
 We had transfers. That was not the awesome part... but I got to pick up all the new missionaries from the airport!!! Super weird being there tbh. So cool to get to meet all the new missionaries though! At transfers we lost a solider. We went from super lit trio: Sister Pack, Sister Ray and I.... to a joke cracking duo!!! Sister Ray and I are running up Burien this transfer by ourselves

Sister Pack was here for 6 months so we are adjusting to being in this area without her wisdom and knowledge. BUT I get to finish Sister Ray's training and its been so fun. She is hilarious. Plus, in the wee hours of the night she becomes a chef. She often makes me bread. Don't be surprised when I come home 200 lbs heavier

Here's a little update on a couple of the peeps we are teaching! I'm not good at sharing about them often so im trying to be better 

QUEEN VIOLA 
Viola is the cutest lil sassy lady who has been taught by missionaries since February! She had her baptism interview and is all set to go for Sept. 14th! She is SO ready!!!! We just can't wait 

SUPER COOL SARITH 
Sarith is my cambodian speaking friend. I ADORE HIM!!! One day we found him while knocking doors at a complex. Every single door we knocked was SO mean. Probably one of the worst experiences I've ever had on my mission. BUT ALAS... Sarith opens his door and was interested in learning more. Since, we have been teaching him consistently and he comes to church every week. We have to translate a lot into Cambodian so I do a lot of planning for his lessons. It is so fun to watch him learn. He is the sweetest guy

DA GIRLZ 
We are teaching a family from Angola! They speak mostly Portuguese so our lessons are ALSO mainly translated. The Elders are teaching the dad but we get to teach the 4 girls!!! SO FUN!! They are so interested but the language barrier is hard for them to learn fast. Luckily, we have members who help us with those lessons

OKAY SIDE NOTE: this week was rainy and it got me so excited for fall!!! imma bout to have everything i own become a fall aesthetic somehow 

Welp... crazy week but super solid week! I'm on my last 3 transfers so I am really cherishing everyday I get to be a missionary. I am still learning so much everyday and I feel so grateful for this sacred time God has given me!!!!! 

YOU GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! dont forget it

I'll be living my best state side missionary life at Target today! Come over. Lets hang, ok bye

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...
