W10: Stood up x3 🤪

Howdy folks, (you can take a girl out of Texas but not Texas out of the girl 🤠) Another week in the NZAM! This time around our zone has a goal to invite people to be baptized every single day so that has been interesting... we are still on the hunt for some new friends to teach 🫡 (maybe we have some potentials..?) Highlights: - Singing at the Rawene hospital!! We had like barely any time to put it together but we printed some music and I "played" the piano and the residents enjoyed lol. 🎹 - Got sunburnt on pday due to hiking dukes nose (which was gorgeous..!) but I'm LOVING the sunshine ☀️. - DCM (district council meeting) blind folded fizzy drink testing + haka practice for zone conference! 🇳🇿 💃 - Saw the most AMAZING sunset. Legit don't think I'll ever see one quite as stunning. Pictures don't do it justice. 🌅 - Had a really good "returning" member visit with a less active family who we got to know and shared a message about charity with! Ministering assignments tbd.. - Started teaching Jaz's family again to get them ready for their baptism next week!! Super excited and happy for them :) - This week we did some public TWEing (talking with everyone) and it was really awkward but went decent I guess? We kinda don't know what we are doing However the good thing was that we ran into people and members we knew! - Sports night on Saturday!! No one came cuz it happened to be the same time as a 1x a year event we didn't know about.. 🙈 fundraiser was cool though met some cute kids at the skate park! - helped the sisters get nerfed (lost their car so we had to drive em to drop it off) - Made bread for peeps! (we have a crud ton of flour in our flat so I've been baking like nobodys business!!!) 🍞 - Got stood up again at a member dinner lol good times dejavu good times This week I've seen time and time again how God's timing is the BEST TIMING. It's so so true! We will feel the need to visit someone who isn't home only for them to show up after we arrive.. Or talking to some peeps at a bonfire and having them intentionally listen to the things you have to say.. we may not understand why things are happening but it's for a reason and it's apart of the plan of happiness that our Heavenly Father has for you :) pics -> https://photos.app.goo.gl/btkDY6hNfKPBTj3Y6 Spiritual Thought: David O Mckay has said that.. “Every man and every person who lives in this world wields an influence, whether for good or for evil. It is not what he says alone; it is not alone what he does. It is what he is. Every man, every person radiates what he or she really is. … It is what we are and what we radiate that affects the people around us." I just think that this is truly inspirational and really resonates with me. We all can be an influence but it's up to us to become who we really should be. Invitation: How can you let your light shine this week? Is there anything that you could do to use your gifts to bless others? 3 Nephi 12 14-15 "Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house; 16 Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Love you all so much! ❤️❤️ Sister Talbot
