Hey everyone! The Last few weeks have been crazzzzzyyy! Wahoo!
We had transfers this week and I am staying with Sister Kratz. Our amazing trio got split! Sister Blanco is still in the zone though, so that's a blessing! I'm really grateful I get to be with Kratz still!!
Monday: Was p-day and the last one of the transfers. So I was trying to spend as much time as possible with the missionaries who were leaving. Sad times!
Tuesday: We basically were just moving all of Sister Blanco’s stuff back to her apartment in Bedford. The reason she had been with us is because her comp went home on medical release and so she was with us for a month. Now she's back in her old ward, so we had to move her bed and desk and everything back to her old apartment. That night we had dinner with the Piatau’s! One of my favorite families for sure!
Wednesday: We had transfers! I got to see all my friends which made me so so happy! I also had to say goodbye to a lot of missionaries which is so sad! Okay, so for those of you in my home ward! Ya know the Mailau’s? Ya, so Sisi (the oldest) is in the YSA ward I serve in! She's down here for summer sales and she had us over for dinner along with her sister, Elizabeth! Small small world! That night we went to Boba with all the sisters in the zone so we could get to know each other! So, that was really good!
Thursday: This was the first full day of the transfer and I would say it went really well! We stayed busy all day! We did service for a big portion of the day at Second Glance which is the thrift store we volunteer at. I found out the funds go toward helping women who have been victims of sex trafficking. So, that is a really cool cause! That evening we had dinner with Kafoa and his friend and it was a partyyy! We went to Texas Road house and as always Kafoa roasted me every other second lol!
Friday: It was a good day Friday! This was a good day! We went to in person Mission Leadership Conference and I once again got to see a lot of my friends! One of the trainings was on having empathy for our companions and the missionaries in our zone. It was really powerful and enjoyable. For an object lesson I had to saran wrap two sisters together infront of everyone! It was so funny! Plus I am just an awkward human being so I am like awkwardly running around these to sisters with Saran wrap while awkwardly laughing and making awkward comments. It was a great time! Im pretty sure my face was bright red! That afternoon we went tracting and it was sooooo hot! I literally thought I was going to die! But we found a new person so it was all worth it! Her name is Dana and she is super cool! She is obsessed with motorcycles and told us about her bike for a good 15 minutes straight! We are planning on going back tomorrow to help with service and teach a simple lesson!
Saturday: We helped a family move that morning for a couple hours and again it was so hot but it was a fun time! After we had ZLC and then we helped clean the church a little bit! We also went tracting again! This time with no success but I can finally say I have had doors shut in my face! So thats kind of a fun thing! yee!
Sunday: This was a good day! We had a miracle! So remember Sisi from the dinner Wednesday? yeah so she gave a talk in sacrament and she invited a couple of her co workers who she is doing summer sales with. On of thems name is Gerry and we ended up giving him a Book of Mormon and we now have 2 lessons set up with him! One tonight and one on Friday! He is super eager to learn and we literally cannot wait to teach him! The crazy thing is during sacrament meeting I was praying to God and telling him i was frustrated because I feel like I work so hard and sometimes its hard to see the fruits of my labors. I asked if he could just put one person on our path that we could talk to and right after we met Gerry! God is good!
Spiritual Thought: At MLC we had a time where we discussed in a group with just the Sisters. While talking one of the Sisters brought up that we need to make sure every relationship we have in life no matter what it is, it needs to be centered around Jesus Christ. As I have been thinking about that I hve realized that if we follow that truth we can be friends with and love anyone. So as you think of those relationships that are kind of rocky in your life. Try and figure out a way you can better ceter them around Jesus Christ and I can promise the relationship will improve. If you dont think you have any rocky relationships then do it with someone close to you and it will get even better than it is now!
I hope you all know how much I truly love and appreciate each of you! If you ever need anything PLEASE reach out! Im here to help however I can. I love you and Jesus Christ loves you! Dont forget it!
