ECOLI, EXCHANGES, Cyclones.. 🌀 🌇🦠the week I founda cowboy

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 (trying to be more bold in talking with people -> work in progress) * extra studies during pathway time #personalconversion * Had exchanges in the city again! Man the spirit was so strong.. we had x4 amazing sister missionaries all together for our dinner and we shared scar stories and testified of Christ and it was truly something else. Also got to participate in their english classes which was neat! Had a beautiful lesson with one of their friends where I also just felt like the words came to me on what to say and were flowing even though I wasn't sure what was happening.. * General Conference learned HEAPS spiritual feed * finding out our PMF famliy father does want to come to church they just need to not slelep in haha * beautiful FHE where the mom shared her tearful testimomy -> this family is peak when it comes to loving the missionary, the gospel, and being ALL IN! * Members... met a few more.. * New Members.. tried to meet em no luck * Lots of TALKING :) AWKWARD * Lol so forgot to mention that a guy kept asking for His girlfriend ooff so that's Amor. 🙈 We are actually breaking heart's around here.. Adam, Alphin, Alvin, I just can't there is a posterity curse right now (between my mission mom) with the men these days.. she had a nuien practically propose to her so that's our life around here * when people cross the street to not talk to us * tried to talk to this dude but he only spoke chinese so instead we showed him our english class flyer and then just prayed in our heart. :) * having some members like low key bantering with their kids over who is going to take us home *sometimes we feel like a burden fr* I was this close to being like no really we can walk.. 😅 * trying to entertain like a family of 10 + extended fam for a message sheesh * a guy we thought was cool (name starts with an A so that should have been a red flag) turns out he twas not and the elders all pulled up at his place and basically was like hey you shouldn't call the sisters sweetheart etc. via text but 10/10 for having the best elders and them actually being SO BOLD TO CALL HIM OUT sheeshh * fumbling some teachings * Cold member experience.. miscommunication 💔 * REALIZING THIS ward needs a lot of member suport and strengthening before they can fully support missioanry work..

And remember!! FOR ALL YOU PEEPS OUT THERE BE MISSIONARY MINDED... "You are surrounded by people. You pass them on the street and travel among them. They are all children of God—your brothers and sisters. God loves them just as He loves you. Many of these people are searching for purpose in life. They are concerned for their future and their families. They need the sense of belonging that comes from knowing they are children of God and members of His eternal family. They want to feel secure in a world of changing values. They desire “peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come” Many are “only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it” BE THE WAY THAT THEY FIND IT PLEASE =) Love you all so so so much, Sister Talbot Sorry none of my pictures decided to load so.. next time
