Hello my friends. Here is a run down of my week!
12-28-2021
Tuesday was good! In the morning we had studies and District council! Afterwards we went to BJs for pazookie Tuesday and that was the best part of the day! We went tracting and it was so much fun! Everyone that answered was so friendly or the complete opposite ahaha! There was this guy named Glen! He was awesome. I hope I've grown a lot spiritually on the mission, but I guess I still look the same physically because he would not believe that I was older than 17 ahahah! I felt Christ’s light through the short times I was able to testify to each of those people that God and Jesus Christ are truly there for us.

Wednesday was my 17 months which is crazy. I still feel like a little greenie. My fav thing that day was my studies! I really payed attention to the words of "Where Can I Turn For Peace" and wanted to share the last verse with you
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching
In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend.
Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.
Constant he is and kind,
Love without end.
We also taught Ruth that day! Love that lady!

Thursday we had a fun thing happen! We were being the kindest souls ever and we were making some of the Elders who live by us soup. They got covid and so we thought we would be little angels! Mainly Sister Andersen made it. Point is, we realized we didn't have one of the ingredients so we had to run to the store. While we were there we ran into some people from my last area in the Tongan ward! They also happened to be the mom of sister Andersons district leader in the MTC. Anyways, they ended up paying for our groceries and we set up to eat dinner with them on Saturday!

Friday we helped Sister Brunken and her mom, Joan, with some service! We helped them make this fancy dog food that Sister Brunken sells! It was nasty with all this liver and stomach stuff. For the pups I guess. Anyways, it was a good time and then after they took us out to lunch. That night we partied hard ahahah jkjk….we watched the movie Love, Kennedy. This movie is so good, but so sad and it hit a little close to home for me. It's a good show though. It's a true story about a girl with special needs. In the end she is *SPOILER ALERT* she is dying and the girls from her school ask her if she can see Jesus. She tells them yes. She was so close to the spirit and so close to crossing through the veil she could literally see Jesus Christ. Reminded me of my big Sister Shayla! If you haven't met her you need to because she holds the spirit like no other person I've ever met!

Saturday we had lunch with Gail! For those of you who don’t remember, Gail is someone from my very first area in the mission that I used to do service with! I love her so much and I'm so happy I got to see her. I also got to talk to my Grandpa for his birthday! He told me the story of how him and my grandma met and it was the best story ever! Then the temperature here dropped like 120000 degrees in like 1 second and it was so cold. We had to go help Brother Beck with fixing his fence. We were so cold, but I learned a lot about fixing a fence. That night we went to dinner with the people we had run into at the store. Their kids were there and I knew them from the YSA ward, so it was so fun to see them!

Sunday we had 3 churches wahoo! We started studying the Come Follow Me for this year and I'm actually so excited to study the Old Testament! We also got transfer news and I will be staying with my trainee Sister Andersen. Sister Adkison will be staring a service mission this Wednesday. Super proud of her and everything she's gone through with her Rock solid attitude!
Spiritual Thought: 1 John 4:19 "We love him, because he first loved us."
Remember to love Him and the people around you!
Something else I've realized this week is we need to be loving and forgiving ourselves! Sometimes I find myself beating myself up. That's not Christlike. I teach everyday to the people around me that they can be forgiven of their sins. Then I'm a hypocrite when I get home and think about all the things I've done wrong. So, remember to forgive yourself! Because that's what Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father have asked of you!
Love Y'all more than you know!
