Fire alarm drill practice x 5k with the Mackies

Guess what..? It's been another week or two haha.. and also it's OCTOBER? Also went on some more  exchanges this week good times. And we have just been so incredibly busy I didn't get a chance to press send so this will be a long one so sorryy. 


SO MANY GOOD THINGS HAPPENED. AEROVIEW IS STARTING TO REALLY GROW ON ME.. 

- got to troll my companion haha for her birthday I mean spoil her good.. yipeee!!

- met some more members that in our messed up records showed they moved lol
- carrying the zone on our call with the mission president ahhhh sayyy whattt the other leaders just didn't show up
- got to make cookies and share messages to help our ward more activley live the gospel that's a W
- Jeff we will be there for you on the good and bad days.. glad we could be there when it was needed 
- WE decided to get out and just walk and talk to people BUS and guess what we met this AWSOME chinese guy who we invited to english class and church and not only did he give us oranges and chocolate cake and try to book a time to golf with us but also CAME TO CHURCH!!! MIRACLES
- we got to make stress pies at burger fuel with some of our sisters for companion study it was iconic :)
- OUR MISSIONARY MEAL CALENDAR is filling up OH AND A FAMILY FROM MEXICO MOVED INTO OUR WARD 
- Gave out every marked copy of the book of mormon we made this week it's been hard to keep up haha 
- HAD GENUINELY SOME OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS ON MY MISSION SO FAR: long story short met the sweetest family at this park and truly just made my whole day and then the part of town that is LOW KEY HUMBLING to seee so that was really cool
- ALSO got to tell this mom who had just lost her son in the ukraine war that she was going to be able to see him again.. met her at the graveyard and wow I HOPE SHE REMEMBERS 
- GOT ramen with sister TAMUERA and were the only non japenese people there haha and then proceded to meet the sweetest indian family 
- we get to teach EMMANUEL he's this man from africa with heaps of questions and his sweet 2 yr old always "cooks" us dinner it's soo precious we also had a miracle while looking for another family we ended up meeting another family from africa which was INCREDIBLE because we got to refer them to the missionaries he was instantly keen 

Random stuff that happened:
- umm a member visit turned into her yapping for a solid hr to which we wanteed to share a scripture about what she talked about and then she was like why are you preaching to the converted rip
- found out why one of our friends doesn't want to be baptized.. and it's purely doctirnal

This week in the scriptures these are the verses that hit deep! It's been an exhausting past 2 weeks and so I'm just fighting to give my all and do my best each day. 
 
33 Preach unto them repentance, and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ; teach them to humble themselves and to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.

34 Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find rest to their souls

That’s the real battle in life: not me against Satan, but the Saint in me against the natural man inside me.

LOVE YOU ALL
SISTER TALBOT

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...
