Allah'u'abha. Means God is glorious
Hello hello it's been another week can you believe it? So much has happened but here are a few things I've been learning and coming to realize..
Learns:
- The harvest is plenty laborers are few.. Turns out there is actually so much work we could be doing but only so much time.. and only the 2 of us.. however when plans fall through and things happen I'm learning to better trust the Lord in His plans and His will.
- “Four things a man must learn to do,
If he would make a record true,
To think without confusion clearly,
To love his fellowmen sincerely,
To act from honest motives purely,
To trust in God and heaven securely.”
- Sometimes it just helps to talk about things. Those who share their concerns with another person often find their concerns diminished. On the other hand, missionaries who kept concerns bottled up usually felt that their concerns seemed larger and more difficult to manage. I can ATTEST that it works and it makes you realize that your problems are actually gonna be ok try it out :)
Laughs:
- While talking to this guy waiting for the bus I think he took our friendliness the wrong way and said "you are going to be my girlfriend soon" ๐
๐คฃ oh boy
- ZUMBA NIGHT..!!!! MAY HAVE BEEN LIKE MY NEW FAVORITE THING EVER. I had wayyy too much fun dancing hehe or trying to dance along and we met this super cool girl there named Esther.. we thought she was a member.. turns out she's not we will see what we can do about that.. Stay tuned!! ๐๐๐
- FINDING A TACO PLACE and feeling transported HOME it was amazing :) ๐ฎ

- GOING TO A BBQ Texas restaurant.. ayye the Nands are the best
- getting to work on some math for my comps pathway class hehe
- running into some of my nowo favorite members who just were delighted to meet us said we came from disneyland and that I need to be president of Texas lol ๐ค
- playing netball with the SAMOANS
- WE GOT 4 hrs to clean our FLAT legit answer to prayers :) she's beautiful ๐งผ
Lows:
- ahhh being asked last minute to play piano for church eeeek (at least she bribed us with food lol) and then them saying the wrong numbers.. let's just say the members enjoyed this little light of mine but my heart was POUNDING ๐ฑ ๐น only then to get asked to play at a baptism as well oh boy..
- Finding more red dots and bites noooooo ๐ฉน
- having an angel of the lord preven a car from hitting me ๐ oops look right people..
- biking like 20ks roundtrip to get to and fro our dinner and trying to keep up with the elders lol only to almost run over a dude who was passed out in the streets, go down like 4 dead ends and proceed to get lost ๐
- getting no sleep the other night because my sheets didn't dry and it was freeezzinggg ๐ฅถ
- Even with all of our refferals and everything we've been doing we still don't have anyone we are teaching or who are currently progressing so our work has looked different.. and honestly I miss getting to teach but I know that there's a time and a reason for everthing and I'm excited to see what the weeks bring. ** more on this below..
Spiritual Upliftment: In reading from the story of Ammon from the Book of Mormon..
"Isn’t that odd? He was called to teach the doctrines of salvation, but he was in the stables. Don’t you think he should have been praying and fasting and polishing his teaching plan? No, he was in the stables. …
… Never, never underestimate the spiritual value of doing temporal things well for those whom you serve.
… Be their servants, and you will love them. And they will feel your love. And more important, they will feel God’s love."
Also found this one... "God’s greatest reward goes to those who serve without expectation of reward. It goes to those who serve without fanfare; those who quietly go about seeking ways to help others; those who minister to others simply because they love God and God’s children."
This has been a huge one these last couple weeks but I found a really good video WATCH IT!!! :) Sometimes, the most important things you do each day are never even on your “to-do” list. You might worry about the things you never get done, but President Gordon B. Hinckley reminds us, “You never know how much good you do.”

Here is my invitation this week:
"The most important decision you will make is if you are going to dedicate your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and trust He’ll take you into the eternities."
Decide TODAY what decision you will make :)
