Life's most fulfilling experiences..

"missionary work is not easy. In fact, it is often quite difficult, but the Lord is the greatest paymaster in the world. Dedicated missionary service is one of life’s most fulfilling experiences. This is in large measure because of the divine agency which flows so richly from the Lord to His humble and obedient servants to bless the lives of others. I know this because I have seen it manifested in the lives of thousands and have felt it in my own life." How far is Heaven? It’s not very far. When you live close to God, It’s right where you are. sucesses: - We met this vietnamese family who are super sweet and whose daughter named Caroline (9yrold) loves learning the gospel. She is SO KEEN :) literally jumping up and down when she sees us coming. We talked a bit about baptism and are hoping her parents will be on board - wennt fillipino finding in our area with a rm and WOW! it was like the most effective thing ever literally had so many friends and mini lessons it was crazy! drove around with her and just had a blast :) even crashed a birthday bash where she invited heaps of people in tagalog and we got some numbers. We are now teaching this family whos mom actually was the one to issue my NZ drivers liscense crazy fun fact. Also went to another family and the dad WAS GRINNING AND actually listened to our lesson and talked more then ever he's usally really really shy. MIRACLES - went on exchanges with the Chinese sisters needless to say i didn't understand anything but got SOPPING WET SERIOUSLY RAINED THE MOST THIS WEEK ever. - we went to some community events a free kai day we heped serve food and talked to people there as well a sa singing group and heaps of people after asked us where we were from what we were doing here it wass a great way to get to know the community - did lots of TRAINING / prep for zone con - Charlotte the girl from the fijean family we have been teaching loves the gospel and also gets super excited when we come to share messages about Jesus Christ This week I was reading in the beginning chapters of the Book of Mormon Another Testament of Jesus Christ and I noticed a really cool pattern from the example of Nephi. He experiences the ministering of angels as he FAITHFULLY GOES ABOUT following GOD. And I too can testify there have been angels protecting us. This week we had a very close call as we were driving around a roundabout coming home from an exchange the other car didn't see us and almost Tboned us however there was no bump no scratch nothing. We safely arrived at home :) 😇 Jesus loves you all! Sister Talbot This weeks countries: 🇫🇯 🇻🇳 🇨🇳 🇵🇭

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...
