Kia Ora from Auckland

Another week and maybe it was a little slower than usual with the holidays but that meant extra miracles :) Highlights - Christmas Nativity @ the Marae (everybody sung flat and it may be a top #10 mission moment).. ~ Christmas ~ - helping cook a christmas dinner at our members cafe and enjoying the cute little girls that came soo sweet... 👩‍🍳 - had some epiphanies throughout the day about where I was what I was doing and how it incredible it all was.

Kia Ora!! Merry Christmas and Happy holidays to you all 💖 https://photos.app.goo.gl/btkDY6hNfKPBTj3Y6 As the title suggests... there was some rain this week but that also means rainbows 🌈 and if I've learned anything from being out here it's that there is plenty of RAIN but because of that there are the most BEAUTIFUL RAINBOWS. You can't have rainbows without rain.. And yes I also did actually run in the rain but not on purpose haha... our mentor said the most eager missionaries get the hardest areas.. but we saw soooo many miralces!! Our friend Arthur says he wants to be baptized on his time so thats exciting and we got a member refferal 2 days ago (she called us and we were giddyy) about a man who works at her cafe who also wants to be baptized named Tres HE IS SO KEEN!! Also as far as our goals this week GOD IS HASTENING HIS week because usually we haven't met any of them by now but we've gone over some of them.. 🎊 🤯 1/0 for new friends.. 4/2 for members at...

My daughter has already taught more than what I can teach her lol.. haha I told her that where was by now was just someone who ahd been door knocking while she is KNOCKING it OUTTA THE PARK. ⚾️🧢 As of late we've finally been able to better express how we feel about our branches... this leaking bucket analogy. So as you can tell there is still A LOT OF WORK TO DO... 🤣😅 However this week we learned that "There is no chance no destiny and no fate that can hinder circumvent or control the resolve of a determined soul.." As I've learned the answer is no until you ask and that we can do hard things.. 🫡 This has been an interesting and a different week but we are taking it one day at a time.. Highlights: - planning a top secret bday cele at our missionary meeting (shouts to sister kana!!) 🥳 and getting a stake level girls activity going.. - continuing in our teaching and card games with our friend Manaki! :) - last minute FHE BANKKK!!
