Howdy Howdy!! We are BACK.. 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. MAGICAL ✨️ + the youth taught us our first tik tok dance.. 💃 - splits with MATRIARCH of our Branch #WELOVETRACI and met the smartest most hilarious 4yr old who is obsessed with 6 / 7 - white elephant gifts as a district (I gave ramen and got dino oatmeal not a bad deal) 🐘 - OUR MISSION HIT OUR BAPTISM GOAL!!!! - some of our less active members came to church!! 👏 - little improvements in our branch slowly but surely getting there.. :) Lowlights - dying baby bird was thrown at us #traumatizing **elders be elders** ☠️ - our miracle refferal friend needs prayers sent his way.. his girlfriend is apparently crazy..? 🙏 - we visited one of our beautiful members who's a cancer patient and it was somewhat devastating 🎗 Lollights: - roleplaying our friends at DCM 🤣 - our car got stuck on a hill and my comp pushed and then had to back me all the way down..🚗 - cow wrangling.. yes it was my first rodeo 🤠🐄 - played games with our mission presidents on accident.. 🃏 - got asked to speak in church hehe and sang a sweet member in the branch happy birthday.. but she had dementia so she kept forgetting lol 🥳 Spiritual Food for Thought.. Something I've noticed as I've been reading the Book Of Mormon is how relatable it's been to EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED IN THE VERY MORNING. You simply can't spiritually live without it. I invite you all to ponder on your current scripture study and how it could maybe imrpove here are some helpful questions..How do you feel about the scriptures? Why? If you were to continue with your current scripture study habits for the next several years, how do you think it would affect you? If you do not currently have a habit of studying the scriptures, what would you need to understand or feel to start studying them? Jacob 2:3 "come up hither to hear the pleasing word of God, yea, the word which healeth the wounded soul." 🏥 In regards to our Heavenly Father.. "He loves us. He is watching us. He wants us to succeed. We will know some day that He has not left one thing undone for the eternal welfare of each of us. … This is our day to show what we can do—what life and sacrifice we can daily, hourly, instantly make for God. If we GIVE our all, we will GET His all from the greatest of all” Love you all hope you had the Merriest Christmas, Sister Talbot xx oo 😘 ❤️ 💕

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.. I promise I didn't miss an email.. kinda.. we got permission to move last Monday (our day off) to last Friday (confusing I know) but it was for New Zealands holiday Waitangi which was a BLAST!! 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...
