Labour of love ♡♡

-

"The Savior’s divine nature and sublime character were the wellsprings of perfect compassion during His mortal ministry. The Redeemer of the world turned outward in love and service when He faced spiritual adversity or physical pain—in contrast to the natural man in each of us that turns inward in self-interest, self-centeredness, and selfishness. As we live as He invites us to live and with His help, our nature and character over time increasingly become more like His."


Guess what I learned from general conference??? ..if we desire to bless other people’s lives, God will help us take the opportunities all around... pray to have the eyes to see the missionary opportunities that are in front of us.... :)

The work this week: oh my oh my soo much went down :)
- KIRK GOT BAPTIZED!!! 
- got to go on 2 exchanges.. and got to talk with people as kids were getting out of school goods times as well as a community event which was super fun!! 
- MET a man from Japan who's really cool and it was so divinely appointed since we were going back to see a refferal who already closed the curtains on us lol but we were like lets go backk and guess who we bump into..? 
- MET THE sweetest cambodian family oooh myyyy worrrddd I LOVE IT HERE we meet people from all over the world anyways also from a refferal.
- got back in touch with JARMAIN she is this lovely lady from Shri Lanka and we got to teach 1/2 the lesson in Sinhalan via google translate and the book of mormon app :)
- as we were inviting people to the baptism our refferal HINERANGI was like how do we get baptized..? TBD
- FINALLY thiss cool guy named COOPER has been comming to church with a friend interesting logistics but turns out he also wants to start being taught to be baptized..?
- we had an actual missionary meeting with our ward and THEY plotted together how to help the gonzales families dad be baptized haha
- got to teach our friend CAMERON via technology and read with his 3yr old daughter MAYMAY from the picture scripture stories it was precious  

It’s burned into the fabric of my soul.
Though I know it’s not an easy road,
The One who made the world has made me free.
And I already know my destiny,
With every beat that’s left inside my heart.
I will serve the Lord

I found this the other day and it really resonated..
To serve the Lord as a missionary is a sacred privilege. It brings eternal blessings to the person and those he or she serves 

Hebrews 6
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints,and do minister.

I know that I am truly serving the Lord and that he recognizes and accepts my effots. As my time as a missionary quickly runs out I am truly just so incredibly grateful for the opportunity I've had so far to speak of Christ and bring others His restored gospel. JESUS LOVES YOU.

I LOVE YOU ALL

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.

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...
