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 missionary work it you don't get a lot of time to develop friendships with everyone. But y'all have it easy.... You already have close friends and people who you know well. That is were missionary work is needed! Share by example and take every oppritunity to share something God wants them to know. Cuz guess what, God knows you know these people, and he knows they need the gospel. But most importantly, lead with love.
--> There is always something to learn from someone, even if you are more experienced than them. Pride gets in the way of this a LOT, especially in today's world when people never admit when they are wrong. But it's better to live life looking for things to learn from others instead of comparing yourself to others. Whether it's a crappy companion, basil marceaux, a brand new Greenie, or a baptist preacher, I can always take the opportunity to learn something. This makes every interaction worth it! Cuz everytime I am adding something to my knowledge, whether I like the person or not.
Those are some of the things I have learned, but still have a long ways to go!
This week we had exchanges which was MUCH needed, it was so fun. I went with Sister asay and it turns out we live like 6 blocks from each other in mapleton!! She moved there about 5 months ago which is why I didn't know her before, but I was friends with her cousins in high school! It was a fun day and the highlight of the day was getting a burrito at this place called DosBros and it's basically the closest to Cafe Rio that I got🥲 it was actually way good tho!! Chipotle, salsaritas, and DosBros are gonna have to get me thru until I can be reunited with cafe Rio and Costa Vida😂
But yeah!! Uneventful week, but lots of learning! The thousands (millions? Idk) of trees are starting to turn colors and it is really pretty! It's cooling off a ton which is a dreammmm. But fall time is making me really homesick cuz this is right around the time all fun things happen at home, including my birthday:) Fall is my favorite season and it's hard not being home for it🥺 but I hope all is well with everyone else on the other end! I love you all!!
