​Kia ora! I HAVE OFFICIALLY passed one year serving as a missionary and representative of Jesus Christ.. and I just can't believe it! I can truly say that it is only by the grace of God.. which has helped me every day. It has strengthened me to do good works I could not do on our own. The Lord promised that if I humblde myself before Him and have faith in Him His grace will help me overcome all our personal weaknesses."


This weeks work:
- member refferal for a pmf to visit! THEY CAME TO CHURCH AND I'm so so happy for their family :)
- zone CONFERENCE is like missionaries "holiday" to sharpen the AXE and wow we got some new things to work on! There is a big FOCUS on always having backup plans to the point of having 2 calendars.. being as specific as possible with planning and a focus for more purposeful finding.
- met a lad named JET who maybe wants to be baptized? 
- had so many lovely folks come along to our singing at the rest home and it was a good time! 
- still getting a hang on names, faces, streets haha 

GRATEFUL:
- we had interviews this week and it was really eye opening to see some more of my leadership responsibilites and the things I will be taking on.. 
-BEAUTIFUL member dinner with this peruvean family made my little texan heart oh so happy!!! They have the sweetest little 5 year old who was speaking spanish haha
- meeting our lovely neighbors 
- got to honk at these kids that wanted to be honked at hahaha 
- amazing leadership. harder to explain but we have some spiritual giants out here :) 

Mosiah 15:23
(We will be...) "raised to dwell with God who has redeemed them; thus they have eternal life through Christ, who has broken the bands of death"

My highlight from sacrament meeting this week: The hard days when you are struggling... overstressed and stimulated and it's easy to turn inward natural man.. even while carrying our own burdens we can have our hearts for someone else.

AS you all know I LOVE regifting things... 
🤑 Invitation 🤑
Study the Christlike attribute of humility, then consider what you can do to eliminate pride in your life this week. I promise that you will experience the most precious spiritual opportunities as you act on this invitation. Heaven is cheering you on!

*"I wanted to change the world.*  
*So I tried to change the country.*  
*But the country was too big.*  
*So I tried to change my community.*  
*But the community was too big.*  
*So I tried to change my neighbors.*  
*But they were too set in their ways.*  
*So I tried to change myself.*  
*And that's when the world started to change."*

LOVE YOU ALL xxx

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...
