GRATEFUL

This week full of "lasts" for me! 

I went to my last zone conference/ mission conference! They have all the departing missionaries bare their testimony and I sang in a musical number. I have loved all the little meetings my entire mission. We always get great trainings and its so fun to see all my bffs!!! I had to say goodbye to lots of them there too. RIP 

Then we had Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving with the Fisher's. Jenny Fisher has the best laugh and makes the best. I am VERY spoiled in Sammamish!!!

On Sunday, it was my last fast Sunday! I got to bare my testimony and of course all my gratitude for this ward came out of my eyes through tears... I have served here for about 8 months in total. They are my home away from home! 

The mission conference was basically all about gratitude! I love the quote from Elder Uchtdorf that says "we rarely find what we are not looking for." FACTS I could always use more gratitude so I've been workin on that extra since the conference! 

Here's a few things I'm grateful for: 
-we can call our families on holidays. It was a tender mercy for me this week!! 
-festivities: specifically christmas ones
-paulina robbins
-scriptures
-sister nicholson 
-exchanges!
-mission friends
-i get to drive by lake sammamish everyday 
-all the friends and family who have consistently supported me and kept in touch 
-my parents!!!!!!!! 
-jesus
-the plan of salvation 
-music
-green trees 
-members
-light

There's so much to be grateful for!!!! 

That's only a little sliver of the week I've had! Up and downs and fun and sad but I am grateful!!!!!

WOOT WOOT 16 days left until I get to slap Dave's head and hug my mom!!! 

Peace boys

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!
