Week 36

Hi hi hi. This week went by super fast so I'm not really sure what happened. Good times and lots of laughing I'm sure.

There's a service missionary named Sister Chesley who is waiting to go to her assigned mission (Canada) but comes out with us once in a while for the time being. She's the real life Moana. She was born in Maui and has some wild stories about catching pigs and cooking them. It was fun being in trio life with her and showing her how to do the mission thing this week!!

I'd like to announce that Cricket is back on track and we've set a plan with her!! We had a few people come to church and some craziness going on with Sunday school...safe to say we should stick with the basic gospel essentials classes but good memories were made.

I love verse 16 in Joseph Smith-History which says, "But, exerting all my powers to call upon God to deliver me out of the power of this enemy which had seized upon me, and at the very moment when I was ready to sink into despair and abandon myself to destruction...just at this moment of great alarm, I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me." God will come to our aid in His divine timing and it's up to us to just keep going! We're so blessed that Joseph Smith, as a 14 yr old, understood what it meant to not give up! I'm grateful for his example to me.

I love you all and hope your week is one to remember!

Week 11

Surprise it's Wednesday. Our pday was switched because we got to go to the temple today!! I miss being able to go to the temple whenever. We're assigned a day every other transfer. This week was one of my favorites so far. The hard parts made it even better which I'll talk more about later. I went on an exchange with Sister Thomas (the new Sister in our zone) and it was awesome! Two little missionaries hanging out all day. She goes home the same transfer as me because I'm assigned 13 so we're in this thing together. We had zone conference and San Clemente had interviews with President/Sister Carter, so I got to see them a lot! Have I mentioned they're the greatest? Wow okay Sunday!! This sounds dramatic but it could've been my favorite day on the mission so far. We had a lesson with a marine named Wetterman on Saturday (which he brought his friend Williamson to) and they both showed up to church the next day! Braden, a marine we taught two weeks ago, also sh...

Hiiii everyone! I love my mission. Update on Cricket is that she's been quite unresponsive what?! Homecoming was this past week and let me tell you the high schools here go ALL OUT for everything- especially dances. So she was really living up the homecoming week, attended a few youth activites (which we didn't know about until after the fact), and therefore did not meet with us. She still wants to get baptized on the 28th which is the funny thing. We were like okay Cricket, in order for you to be prepared for your baptism we need to have at least 5 more lessons because we have so much to teach still. She got the memo but then didn't get the memo and we didn't have a single lesson. In conclusion, baptism is happening but probably getting pushed back which is still a win. Luisa is my favorite. I love her so much. She loves the gospel of Jesus Christ! She's been an amazing example to me of being eager to learn more. We send her lots of chapters/general conference talk...
