Elder Bragg Day

Hey bffs! 

Elder Bragg from the seventy toured our mission this week. It was a great conference and I learned a lot. The spirit was so strong. I took many notes. Most of which were MAD humbling. I've got lots to work on but I'm glad the Lord doesn't leave us as we are! ️Ether 12:27 ️
Plus, I got to see my friends there. It was so fun but there's never enough time to catch up!! Can't wait to hang with them for real 

Update on Sarith: If you can remember... he's slightly blind so we made him a HUGE baptism calendar and we wanted us to right down the commandments for him so he can remember them every day. I FREAKIN LOVE SARITH. 

DONT TELL MY MOTHER:
While we were driving this week we stopped at an intersection. In the time we were at the red light, we saw a car get pulled over by a few cop cars, police get out with guns and arrest the guy driving. Interesting intersection I'd say. So there's that... along with all the other crazy shenanigans on the side of the road that we witness as we drive. Welcome to Burien 

OH AND THIS REMINDS ME! A couple weeks ago we carpooled with the sisters and got into a hit n run! Guy hit the car, we signaled to pull over and the guy just kept going so we hurried and followed him and caught his license plate number hehe meany. Sister Ellis was so smooth with it. It was awesome. 

86 DAYS LEFTS!!! but who's counting pshhh.... (me im counting. dang it )

ALTHOUGH hear me out....
I've been reflecting a lot on my mission and thinking of ways that I can work hard until the end. I want to be like Alma in this scripture.

Alma 36:24 
"Yea, and from that time even until now, I have labored without ceasing, that I might bring souls unto repentance; that I might bring them to taste of the exceeding joy of which I did taste;"

There will be no other time where my day is filled with opportunities to seek miracles, share the gospel and serve others as much as it is now. I love being a missionary and I am grateful for every day I get to serve!!!!! 

It is so hard to articulate the experiences I am having. They are so real and I wish I could emphasize it more. 

Alma 26:16
"Behold, who can glory too much in the Lord? Yea, who can say too much of his great power, and of his mercy, and of his long-suffering towards the children of men? Behold, I say unto you, I cannot say the smallest part which I feel."

I love my Savior, Jesus Christ! I love my family and friends. Looking forward to chatting with all of you so soon

Love, 
Sister Stewart

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!
