This week I had the best exchange ever!!!!! I was with one of my mission besties Hermana Leete!!! We rocked Ensign Ward! It was so cool! We talked to 15 people on the street, two different families let us right in (which hasn't happened all transfer), we spoke Spanish all day, and we taught a boss English class. I love Hermana Leete so so much. It was just what I needed after a hard transfer. We worked hard, and had fun all day!!! I felt like my spirit was rejuvenated. I'd say that was an effective exchange.
I went and talked with President Snow today!! It was much needed. I learned how to set my own vision of being a good missionary. I also learned "revel in your imperfectness. If God wanted you to be perfect, He would have made you that way. He knows that we will mess up, but that's the whole point of this life." He is so wise. I love that guy.
"Do you want some chocolate milk? It has vitamins in it."-Ellie "I feel like I just drank a chocolate bar..."-Me hahaha.
We went to visit a recent convert on tuesday, when we walked in I smelled mole. There is no better mole than surprise mole. It was so good! :)
I saw a cute fat pug wandering the streets on Saturday. "Sister. As soon as I'm done praying I'm going to go pet the fat pug." I said amen, and then I opened the door and fat pug was outside waiting for me! It was the best moment of my life! I totally got a picture. I named it Kiki, after my best friend pug! (Shout out to Carol and Jessie) hahaha.
I got the awesome news that Carol and Parham are going to be ward missionaries in Havasu!!! Also Kyle is coming back to church, and they're having a Why I Believe!!!I I'm so proud of my Havasu family! :) It makes me so happy to hear how well they are doing! I can't wait to come back and visit!!!
My best friend Janice is going Spanish Speaking to California!! She leaves a month before I get home! Sad life, but I'm so excited for her!!!!!!!!!!! :) #spanishbesties #asian #proudbestie
Yesterday while driving in a cul-de-sac I saw a something shiny in the road. I parked, leaned out the door, and then I picked it up! I am 5 cents richer now. haaha. Then we had a really cool RM guy come out with us. He was walking behind me, I saw a penny. I nonchalantly fell back a little, then he stopped and watched me pick up the penny. It was awkward.....
We are doing a lot of door knocking.....That makes for a lot of fun stories.... And long days. Hahaha. I talked to a cool guy named Jay, he has no legs. Also Leete and I contacted a cute pilot guy, and a really cool bartender dude that has a testimony of "fix-it" videos on YouTube. Hahaha. It was a fun week.
So yup! I'm doing better! Kickin' Satan to the curb! I've learned a lot this week. I love serving the Lord. And I'm grateful that He loves us, even when we make mistakes. It's a blessing! It's all thanks to the Atonement and Jesus Christ. He picks us up every single time Satan pushes us down!!! Jesus is the best big brother! :)
What I learned this week: Happiness is a Choice.
"There is nothing wrong with feeling a little discouraged once in a while, and you ought to know that. Otherwise you wouldn't know what it is like not to be discouraged. You don't want to persist in it because it is not of the Lard to remain so, but if you have been a little discouraged, a little worried, a little concerned, you ought to know that it is normal and natural. You're just like President Christensen is, and like I am, and like anyone else is. Just keep working on increasing your faith until it is almost impossible to make you discouraged. "-Qualifications for the Work
I hope y'all have an amazing week! I love you! I'm grateful for your continued love and support! You are amazing! <3 <3 Never forget how much our Father in Heaven loves you!
