Kia Ora from Auckland

Kia Ora once again!! Highlights for the week: - 1st baptism!! Whoop whoop and the rest of the family next week :) - Found some sea glass on pday! - FHE (family home evening) -> creepy crawler coin game! It was so much fun and we got the kids to get involved :) - Our car got a flat and I knew the steps to put the spare on and that it had limited miles however some members helped us put her on.. - Our flat has also had some creepy crawlers of its own so I've been on exterminator duty 💪 - We met some people that hadn't ever heard of or seen the BOM (book of Mormon) and we got to share it with them a bit which was really neat.. - Smoothies for breakfast! - Rolling down my window at the red “light” and talking with martin the traffic dude there haha just eating his tuna and cackers (we later brought him some don't worry). Lately I''ve been wanting to do better at teaching “by the way” and not getting so caught up in our next thing to do we miss people on the ...

Howdy howdy!! This week I truly saw more cows than I could count 🤠🐄🐮 Hope "yous" are all doing well ayyeee let's get right in with the spiritual thought for the week.. So something cool here is on the food there are health stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and I had an ephinany that we can compare this to the good better best principle ( Good, Better, Besthttps://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2007/10/good-better-best?lang=eng) There will be things that are really good for us and the best to eat that have 5 stars and then there are other things that maybe only have like 1/2 a star there may be things or ways we are doing that might be this and not very nourishing spiritually (or our best efforts) and other things that are 5 stars.. Maybe it's how you've been studying your scriptures, or your observance of the Sabbath. Just some food for thought!!! **Exciting news we will be attending a wedding on Friday as the Cassidy familly has decided to get married ...

I hope I hooked you guys right into this one! I'm alive and doin' pretty good :) Gphoto link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/btkDY6hNfKPBTj3Y6 * Captions included * Guess who's outta the MTC and in the LTC? Ahhh 3 weeks have gone by so quick but here I am in my 1st transfer with my amazing trainer... Sister Jensen (1st official comp). 🥁 To be honest the MTC was much harder to leave than expected I guess I grew more attached to people than I thought but here I am! It was hard saying goodbye knowing it was closing a chapter but starting a new one..! We had a 4hr drive to Opononi (named after a Dolphin btw🐬) which is my area.. along with Oauta of course.. it's like Northern top part of NZ. Lots of rural agricultural little homes with cows and sheep but I'm in a little flat with the view of the beach 🏖. No walmart here just a tiny little store for groceries it's quite quaint. On my way here though we had quite the cutlure shock as we attended a Tangi at the Marae ...

Hey y’all! Buckle up because this one is a doozy so srry I keep thinking they are going to get shorter but they just keep getting even longer... by no means do you have to read everything but at least read the hopeful thoughts at the bottom :) and look at some pics -> https://photos.app.goo.gl/btkDY6hNfKPBTj3Y6 - You'll find some skits from reinacting scriptures lol - As well as the vid from when our DL fell asleep during study time!!! So some of us got pics hehe This is my last week at the MTC (missionary training center)! Ahhhh we only a full day of class left which is actually insane. It has gone by SO FAST. And guys I can't wait to get out into the field but I also am super sad to be leaving everyone here behind because literally everyone is going to Hamilton r.i.p. But then there are also the breakfasts outside of the MTC and the 5k's I'm going to be able to run... 😏 Highlights of the week.... - RUGBY!!! 🏉🖤👟 Long story short I kinda accidently PLAYED r...
