Kia Ora from Auckland

This week in the chaotic life of mine.. You will always feel something missing from your life—always—if you’re not helping to gather Israel. And you will find—I promise you—your most profound and purest joys when you are fully engaged in this work with those you love. Why? Because deep down your spirit knows why you are here. Work - Met more of our members .. their suport and strentghting is key before they can fully be onboard the missioanry work - went to a police event that our lit friend invited us to so that was interesting.. but honestly really neat met some amazing people!! - grocery family.. we were visiting someone nearby and they were carrying groceries but by the time we we asked to help they were like already inside.. however we talked to their upstairs neighbor and it led to refferal for the philipino missionaries who we are doing service for tommorrow! Super neat experience to get to share the book of mormon with this younger mom and offering to help with some of thei...

Romans 12 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. One of our amazing new members Dayzl.. gave me these scriptures 💕 Quote of the week: We need to make sure that everything we say and everything we do involves having that person come closer to christ, repent and want to make the covenant of baptism. And if it's not doing that, we're not doing our job. You can't be serious every second of every day. No one is that way its a delicate balance in just knowing...

I actually can't this week.. I haven't laughed this much since the MTC. 😂 #CHOOSELAUGHTERchoosecharity :) A milaysian librarian once told me.. "YOU CAN SURVVE ANYWHERE” beecause YOU ARE KIND. THOSE THAT CAN GET ALONG WELL WITH OTHERS WILL HAVE HUMAN CONNECTION AND THATS WHAT YOU NEED TO SURVIVE" 📚 This week on what makes missions hard... Someone not being ready for the gospel is not a reflection of your ability as a missionary. Even Jesus Christ Himself was rejected, and He was the perfect missionary. If you keep trying to contact people regardless of the possibility that you might be rejected, you’ll be given power to find those people who are ready for the gospel. Don’t give up or fear rejection, “for God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” things have gotten ..001% better each day is different but progress is progress! WORK * More interesting people.. some potential some not and occasionally some normal ones ...

Howdy!! 🤠 “Joy isn’t about the absence of hardship. It’s about the presence of Christ through it.” 🫶 ______ enables us to see hardships in their earthly context and humility are twin characteristics of happiness.. answer below hmm this area is an interesting one.. there truly is so much potential but it feels as though we are getting tugged in so many directions and between seeing our refferals which are to and fro we just are making the most of it! "Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Man was that relatable this week.. Highs / Work -> getting to see one of our friends.. she's a single mom of a few kids and we happened to bike by at the right time!! lol see the video -> CHEER SQUAD for volleyball haha ok so we pull up and I don't play.. so I benched myself only to be with a samaon lady and a cute little girl it was divinely orchestrated and I may or may not have had some casualties while serving 🏐🤣 -...

You may feel inadequate but the work you do is enough :) So.. I didn't get transfered.. and the party flat is still together letts gooo tender mercy for real what would I do without these ones..? Lately I've been learning that our life can't both be faith-filled and stress-free.. so I can so easily get way to stresed about things not neccarisly in my control which has been hard but I love what HOLLAND has to say.. "Lord, give me all thy choicest virtues, but be certain not to give me grief, nor sorrow, nor pain, nor opposition. Please do not let anyone dislike me or betray me, and above all, do not ever let me feel forsaken by Thee or those I love. In fact, Lord, be careful to keep me from all the experiences that made Thee divine. And then, when the rough sledding by everyone else is over, please let me come and dwell with Thee, where I can boast about how similar our strengths and our characters are as I float along on my cloud of comfortable Christianity."
