Perfect love and willing sacrifice

-

​Transfered happened again.. and now I'm in Northshore Aeorview ward serving as a sister training leader with sister Walker who goes home this transfer!! This weeks theme:


“God does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another mortal that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other.”

Some really cool things happened this week.. a lady we met for the first time Michelle broke into tears giving her heartwrenching story of how she and her kids had recently been left desitute by her husband.. but how GOD WORKS miracles and multiple people strangers and family included reached out to support them with groceries and with thousands of dollars.. all they said was God told me to do it. God works with willing hands.  

The Work:
MLC for the first time figuring out this whole leadership thing! 
-basically we are coming in with no real friends meaning they don't have adresses, or aren't progressing, or aren't in our area.. so we are primarily going to be working with our members to visit part members etc. 
- lots of refferals to contact 
- moved into our new flat (and we got to make it homey and decorate to make it out own!)
- geting the ball rolling againn

The Wild:
- meeting a refferal.. a man like none other who believes in aliens has tatoos and bracelets.. earrings/rings you name it quite the experience only for the police to later show up. 
- relearning to drive and hitting lots of curbs lol

The Wins:
- getting to celebrate my companions birthday one day early!! It was full of balloons and had a scavenger hunt hehe. 
- awesome dinner with a show concert included by our ward mission leaders family!! 
- waking up to our dance party ringtone haha 

Day by day, God’s gracious love surrounds me
      As a balm to soothe my troubled heart.
      Countless cares and worries that confound me
      Fade away or quietly depart,
      For His heart is kind beyond all measure,
      And He comforts us as He knows best.
      Ev’ry day, with all its pain and pleasure,
      Mingles tears with peace and rest.

Love you ALL SO MUCH!

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...
