Hello my lovely people! This week was crazy, but super good!
Monday: We went to Capernaum Studios where the Chosen was filmed and that was a party! That night we went to a restaurant in Azle. Its called Reds and Azle is known for it. It was so good! Kinda sad because it was our last time going out as a district before transfers :(
Tuesday: We went to do service, went to ice cream with one of my fav YSA sisters (Mazey), then we went to dinner with the Ishihara's to say goodbye:(
Wednesday: It was transfers! We woke up super early to go pick up the sisters in Stephenville so that we could drive them to transfers. Once we got to transfers I saw most of my past comps which was soo fun, and then I met my new comp Sister Swinson! She is super super cool! That night we went to dinner with Sini who is a YSA member. Her cousins came and they were freaking out because they think I look like Jennifer Garner haha! Every time I see them now they yell "Heyyy Jennifer!!" So funny! We also had like 3 member lessons that day, so wahoo!
Thursday: We had MLC (Mission Leader Conference). I got to meet some of the other missionaries in my zone, so that was a lot of fun! We then volunteered at a thrift store. I decided that is dangerous for me! I ended up buying like 3 things, but hey they were cheap so... yeah! That night we had dinner with the YSA bishop. His son lives with him, along with his son's wife who is from Fiji, and they have literally the most beautiful children I have ever seen!
Friday: We had lunch with the Bedford Sisters. For dinner we had this food from these people in our wards business! Its called Poka and its really good Tongan food! That evening we went to a YSA activity. It was so much fun because we got to go bowling with them. I forgot how bad I was though! After that we had a lesson with this guy named Massi who is actually on date for baptism so thats exciting!
Saturday: That morning we went to a relief society activity. We were playing games and everyone was just screaming. It was so funny! I was dead! That afternoon we were supposed to go to a barbecue for all the local missionaries, but when we showed up they said it was canceled. This lady ran out and gave every car a 20 dollar bill. We tried to say no, but she wouldn't take it haha! That night we went to dinner with another YSA member. Her name is Ame and she is super cool!
Sunday: Okay, so I think I forgot to mention I'm in a Tongan ward lol! So, we went to church and it was so much fun! The way they sing the hymns is AMAZING! Also, Tongan is like the prettiest language ever so it was fun to listen to it! A funny thing that happened at church! This lady comes up to us and says "Hi" and put out her hand to hold mine and as she does, she slips a 5 dollar bill into my hand. Then takes Sister Swinson’s hand and does the same thing and then walks away! They are so kind!!
Spiritual Thought: This week as we were driving to transfers, one of the sisters in our car was going home the next day. It was her 18 month mark so we told her to tell us 18 things she had learned. One thing she said really stuck out to me. She said, "When it comes to being right or being kind, always choose kind". So after that I decided to make my goal for this transfer to "Choose Kind". Too often I care about being right and thats something I want to change! So if any of you want to join me, feel free!
Also, Im pretty sure I've already eaten half my body weight in food this week! They love to feed us in this ward! So, pray for me hahaha!
Well I love Y'all! Have the best week!
Sister Poulson
