Probably Goodbye

Hi everyone! I had an awesome week!!!

Last week before transfers and we had so many fun things! 

Saturday was probably the highlight of my week. We had a lesson with my bff Sarith and served at the welcome tables in the morning. After, we got to do baptisms at the temple with Viola for her first visit. She felt nervous about it so she just watched but after she told us how much she loved it. Baptisms are one of my fav things to do at the temple! I'm getting excited to go to the temple all the time when I get home!!!!

After, we had a lesson with Danielle. She has lowkey been ghosting us for like a month. We put her on date a while back and things got busy in her life so she wasnt progressing. BUT we finally met with her! She still wants to be baptized but she needs to get hitched first. HALF WAY THROUGH OUR LESSON.... shes like oh ya.. i invited my friend to come but i didnt think she would actually come. Her friend was quite alarmed that she was meeting with "mormons" so we cleared up some MAD misconceptions and by the end of the lesson she was like "im totally going to read the Book of Mormon. I'll read a couple chapters tonight." I couldnt stop thinking about it after we left. I was shook. It was so good!! 

I am thankful for answers to my prayers. I don't know everything and there are parts of my faith that are weaker. However, I keep learning and trusting that eventually the Lord will answer my questions. I can see that little by little he has. Reading the scriptures and understanding the gospel more for myself has brought so much peace to my mind. 

On a more unfortunate note, things are wrapping up in Burien for me. My mission President told me I will be leaving this transfer so I have been saying my goodbyes and it is so sad. I'll be heading to my new unknown last area on Thursday! How crazy is that?! December is coming fast and slow and fast and way super slow but also fall is fun. I am excited for the good things that are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Ok bye, love you

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!
