GREEN!

Hello everyone! It has only been 2 days since my last pday so not too much to report. 

We had our ward's Trunk or Treat on Saturday, and we went as characters from Wicked. It was so much fun! Kids loved our costumes, one even asked to take a picture with me, so cute. The green face paint almost didn't come off but after lots of scrubbing I managed to not show up to church green (some were sad about that, I was relieved).

We had our ward's primary program on Sunday. The spirit is never stronger then when kids are singing about Jesus. 

We got to teach a lesson with our new friend named Bana. She agreed with everything we taught her and said she wants to work towards baptism. She is so sweet and I can't wait to see how she progresses.

Today for pday we went to this Farm Market, and it was the perfect fall activity. So fun!

Spiritual thought: 

In relief society we talked about the conference talk, "Do Your Part with All Your Heart"  By Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I loved it when he said, "God knows who we truly are, who we are designed to become, and so His expectations for us are high."

Being a disciple of Christ takes constant effort, and sometimes it is hard. But it is hard because God is pushing us to be the best we can become. I love that truth! It makes every little trial of faith a little easier and much more worth it.

Thank you all for the love and support! (My email is being weird and won't allow me to respond to those who responded to my last email. Know that I read them and am grateful for them.)

Love you all!

Happy Sunday!

Cockroachess & Tire Replacements

Hello everyone! This week was pretty good. We got a temple pday this week, that's why pday is today.

We had exchanges with the stls. As usual it was good! We got to teach some lessons.

We had a family history activity on Saturday. People from the ward brought some family or cultural foods and it was yummy! We also learned how to do some family history.

One of our friends came to Why I Believe on Sunday and he said it was really good! The temple is SO pretty at night.

We had to clean everything out of our cabinets the other day so they our apartment can do this cockroach preventative treatment and let's just say it took a while to clean out.

One of our car tires has been leaking so we had to take it in to get it fixed so we had a good walk to pick it up this morning before the temple.

The temple SO good this morning! I love it there!

Spiritual thought: 

Alma 26:37

"37 Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."

Remember that God loves all of his children everywhere and that he remembers each and every one of you individually.

Thank you all for the love and support!

Transfers

Hello everyone! Transfers officially happened this week so I am now with my new comp Sister Lee. She is so awesome! I'm excited for this transfer.

This week we got to talk to some cool and nice people. So lots of seeds planted.

We got to volunteer at a blood drive. So we basically just got to check people in for a few hours but it was a good time. 

We went Chalking. Which is where we basically write scriptures, questions, or inspirational messages and our phone number and hope someone reaches out. 

We went to a relief society activity all about the Philippines. These two Filipino ladies in our ward made so much food for it and it was so yummy and lots of fun!

We saw a huge miracle Friday. We were attempting to visit this one friend we have had a hard time to get in contact with and she wasn't there. But when we were leaving her apartment building, we ran into her! She told us she just found out that her dad just died and now she had to tell her kids. We could tell she was having a really hard time so I asked if we could pray with her. The spirit was so strong, I have never felt the spirit guide my words so much. To think if we came moments earlier or later we would've missed that experience and opportunity to serve.

On Sunday I got to hold puppies!!! If you know me, you know I love dogs, so this was a dream come true. Shout out to our bishop whose dog had puppies and they had us over for dinner.

Last major miracle this week was our final former visit Sunday. It was awesome! The guy's name is Kevin and we got to answer lots of his questions about missionary work. I also got to explain some of the Restoration to him and we're having a lesson with his family tomorrow!

Spiritual thought: 

This week in our Sunday devotional we talked about the talk, "Labels" By Elder Thomas S. Monson and I want to share a scripture from the talk, 1 Samuel 16:7 “Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.”

Remember when you see others to not focus on their outward appearance but what's in their heart. We are all children of our Heavenly Father and that's what our focus needs to be on.

Love you all!

General Conference!

Hello everyone! Nothing too crazy happened this week but it was good.

We got transfer calls and I'm staying and Sister Esplin is leaving. I get my new companion tomorrow. It'll be weird not being with Sister Esplin but she'll do great wherever she ends up.

We had a lesson with our friend Isaiah. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and even with his Muslim background he agreed with everything. He then watched the first session of conference with us at the temple's visitor center, and he liked it so that was a highlight.

I had my last in field mentoring session. Which is basically extra training you get from MTC teachers while in training. But I'm officially done with it!

We actually got to play basketball at our basketball night this week which was fun.

Conference was so good! We got to watch a session at the mission home and watched Sunday's at a member's house. 

I loved Elder Holland’s talk and the emphasis on making great things out of inadequate and simple things. When he sang Amazing Grace, the spirit really testified that we are all saved through the grace of God. This is all because he loves us so much!
