"Do not pray for tasks equal to your abilities, but pray for abilities equal to your tasks. Then the performance of your tasks will be no miracle, but you will be the miracle. Miracles are everywhere to be found when … callings are magnified. When faith replaces doubt, when selfless service eliminates selfish striving, the power of God brings to pass His purposes." <3 - Thomas S. Monson 🐐#TrainingOutOfTraining I'd like to invite you all to pray for abilites equal to the tasks you need to achieve this week!! YOU WILL FIND MIRACLES :) I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell. 2 Nephi 33:6 #NewFavScripture https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/33?lang=eng&id=p6#p6 Love you all so so much!! 💖 Sister Talbot

Maori of the week: hine kai hine wai whenua (food, water, land) Maori chant for the basic things we need.. I'd like to add Ihu Karaiti (Jesus Christ) 🥝 Ok so just to explain..

Basically you're gonna have to look it up too much to explain here but essentially it's a big cultural celebration for their treaty and theres lots of performances, food, and shopping.. 🇳🇿 ** so.. sorry this is a 2 for one special ** Highlights: - getting to feel like I was .000001% Jesus when some kids flocked to us and showed us such TENDERNESS KINDNESS LOVE AND were ADORABLE.. #MAORI KIDS ARE THE CUTEST legit lifechanging. For example we met thisi girl named AJ on member splits after church and she legit is the sweetest being ever. After being awkwardly outside peeking in after our member waltzed r...

So much has happened oh my goodness where to begin? Umm.. so I'm in a trio now. and it's with the mission presidents daughter and it's a PARTY :). So basically we got a call out of the blue.. and he was like yup she's visa waiting and coming today for you guys to train her. And yes we totally freaked out at first lol but what a beautiful experience it's been so far. The theme of this week: “Do your very best to bring souls to Christ, and seek earnestly to learn and improve.” so although we've had the privledge of witnessing 2 baptisms here (spoiler) we now have the need for more people to teach.. and so we are doing our best to be spirit led and creative when it comes to finding.. and we set a goal for 3 new friends this week.. "If I were going out to serve today, I would do my part, but I would also expect the Lord to do His part in my work as His servant. He specializes in miracles, which we might define as things He can do for us that we can’t do for...
