week 11

This week was so fast, as always. I also found out that this transfer is only a 5 week transfer. That means less time with Sister Christensen 😥 it's sad, but we are making it fun! 
This week consisted of teaching, visiting people, doing Facebook ads, and ysa activities. Nothing super eventful, but I like it. 
Last pday we went to the mall across the street and it is so nice! We went with 2 other sisters and we looked around and I may or may not have got some stuff... 
My comp and I had dinner with President and Sister Graham and that was fun! The food was so good and they stuffed us full of dessert. 
The coolest part of my week was getting to teach Chris. He has a date to be baptized, and he even agree to move it up to next month! So I'll get to be here for that! I'm really excited for him. 
Something that I have been working on this week is making my studies meaningful. I have struggled with this, but I made so much progress. I read from the book of mormon every morning and I take notes on it. This has made such a huge difference, and to anyone who isn't reading the Book of mormon everyday, try it!! I promise you won't regret it. It's pretty cool getting an hour every morning to just study. Highly recommend doing it!
This week wasn't too eventful, but I'm loving being a missionary. Getting to know both wards is fun too!

Week 40

Not a lot happened this week, but it was supposed to be transfers, except for that I'm staying!! Side note, Sister Garbett's new companion (named sister Phillips) is SO awesome!! We actually have a lot in common and we have mutual friends from BYU and high school! Our little sisters are also so similar which is crazy, we both pulled up a picture and their outfits were almost the same hahaha.  But anyways, here are some cool things that I learned this week: --> Always always always follow promptings (if it's a good prompting, cuz if it's good, it's from God). Promptings are gateways for God to work miracles in our lives, but we have to act first. I'm still working on that, but I've seen it give me so much more confidence in the work I'm doing cuz I know that I'm not doing it alone:) --> Make friends and don't be afraid to share the gospel. When friendship comes first, sharing the gospel is a lot easier. That's one downfall with missionar...

Week 66

Hello everyone!! Happy late Easter! I hope everyone had an amazing Sunday, cuz I sure did!! Holidays on the mission are a little hard (for me at least), but this one was actually pretty good! The church service was amazing and it was PACKED. I felt like I was back in a Utah ward because there were so many people! Here are some reasons it was a great easter: Some friends we are teaching came to church! Donna who is a somewhat lonely older lady came and wore one of sister chan's dresses and she cried during the service and even sang one of the songs, which was huge. Donna is going through a lot right now, but I think she felt a moment of peace when she was at church.  Afterwards we went to the Gildays (a member that I'm close with ) to have lunch and a little scripture study. Isabel was there and that was fun hehe her and I are crazy. I don't know if I've "introduced" Isabel, but she is 19 and was just baptized in January. She moved here and almost i...

Week 74

Alrighty, here I am again. This was MIRACLE filled week. It had its ups and downs, but I'm going to focus on the ups! So first of all, the big miracle is James!!! This has got to be the most prepared person I have ever met on my entire mission! Not an exaggeration! I can't remember exactly what I've said about him in the past, so here's a little summary. We were walking around a neighborhood last Sunday after church and we decided to knock his door. He was really nice, so we came back on Tuesday to do a Bible study. Then we lost contact with him for the rest of the week. BUT he showed up to church on Sunday!!! We were so shocked!! Then he came to church AGAIN and he had read all the way up to Jacob, and he knew everything about the saints leaving to Utah, their history, everything about Joseph Smith and Emma Smith, and a bunch of other random facts! He said he knew Joseph Smith was called of God and he never wanted to stop coming to our church because he said it feels ...
