W13: We have the most new friends..?

Ahhh!! It's almost the end of the 2nd transfer.. (also sorry this is coming later pday was a bit crazy however good things come to those that wait ;) It's been a struggle as of late in our finding efforts however this week we have so many potentials and a lot of friends we can work with FINALLY!! https://photos.app.goo.gl/btkDY6hNfKPBTj3Y6 Highlights: - We got our cute 9 yr old friend baptized she and her family are so cute!! So incredible to watch their family come together for this exciting time - Did some service for a fellow in our neighborhood with the most amazing view and weather - Went on exchanges this week with Sister Jones who is going home next week..😢 (** pictures of kittens we found below) - Had a beach day in Opo for pday and played 4 square volleyball - Ran into some kind members that gave us a ride to Macca's and then proceeded to pay for our dinner (we were walking since we can't give rides to people). Had a good last send off for our newer member friend Shamiah that just moved to Aussie - OUR DISTRICT WON FOR THE MOST NEW FRIENDS (34) out of the whole Auckland mission this month so celerations ahead..? ) Lol lights: - Tried and failed.. to set up a tent that had a million poles and no instructions for service.. but had an INCREDIBLE lesson afterwards on the plan of salvaation with one of our friends Jen. - Was able to use our computer tech skills to help our EQ member get some ministering going.. he's hilarious - Joining in on institute and our YM activity hahaha it was a bit stressful we played a dot game where if you messed up you got a dot on your forehead there were a few close calls... - Going shopping with Elders last pday - We are getting district matching tshirts that a sister designed!! Lowlights: - Did like a full day of driving in the downpouring rain legit couldn't see the road in front of me.. crazy times. - Ups and downs with our friend didn't know if we could actually pull off the baptism this week.. - One of our branches is really struggling atm and it's hard to know what we can do for them. - CARRIED this Sunday. Spoke at church, played the piano, did the lesson after and then headed straight to our baptism and then proceded to sing, talk, and run that as well (hopefully those assigned to speak come next week hahaha) Spiritual Thought: This week as we were trying help some of our friends we last minute had to figure out what to share with them and we had the distinct impression to make sure they know who they are as a Child of God! This week how can you better remember who you are? Promise that you're week will go better if you do!! "Revelation and testimony do not always come with overwhelming force. For many, a testimony comes slowly—a piece at a time. Sometimes it comes so gradually that it is hard to recall the exact moment we actually knew the gospel was true. The Lord gives us “line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little” - Uchtdorf Love you all so much!!! xoxoxo Sister Talbot 1) Sunday Baptism :) 2) Sea Urchin (Kenna.. think I spelled that right?) 3) Kittens on exchanges!!!
