Well it was transfers today! I'm staying in my area but sadly Sister
Dennis is now a Sister Training Leader in a different area! How crazy! But I am going to
miss her for real. She was awesome and we had so much fun together. My new companion is Sister Mitchell. She is from Boston, grew up in
Utah, hecka smart, and awesome. And guess what? She came out the same
time I did too. We are greeny-breaking each other. Cool right?! Hahaha. I
can't help but laugh. But it's going to be great.
This last transfer
was so legit for real. My district was awesome. We all grew so much and
had so many good times together. But the Bird Cage is breaking up and
it is sad. But it's okay. Blessings are in store for us once more.
Last
Monday was so. Much. FUN! We had Zone p-day and we did a corn maze! It
was so awesome. I have never done a corn maze before, but it was so much
fun. They said that the corn maze would take a minimum of 40 minutes to
complete. Our district did it in 30. Ballin'! We all were running around
like chickens with our heads cut off trying to find the checkpoints.
But we all worked together and we were the first ones done. It was so
awesome. So we took pictures while we waited and there was this board
with birds on it. You know the ones that you can put your head in and
you are a bird. Yeah we took a district picture there and it was so
awesome. I didn't get the picture but if I get it from Sister Dennis, I
will send it to you cause it was great. Then we all went back to play
games at our place. That was sweet. Oh I forgot the best part. We all
dressed up for Halloween. And by dress up I mean we all wore batman or
superman shirts. There were five people with Batman shirts. One other Elder and I wore Superman shirts. It was pretty cool. I will send a
picture. But it was a great day.
Tuesday
was a good day. We got to see Ray and took down all of his
inappropriate pictures in his garage. I felt like a weight had been
lifted. It was great. He is so awesome and willing to do whatever to
change for the Lord. It's great. We also had service and let me tell you, wrapping trees for days... so much fun. No but it was great fun. I love
serving!
Wednesday
was probably the best day ever. We got to go to the Temple and that was
awesome. Except it was raining and we didn't know about it. So we
didn't have jackets or good shoes on to protect from the rain. My shoes
were wet for 3 days. But it was still a good day. I totally forgot my
family names though. Bummer. But next time. Also I will need more names
after next time for sure. So then we had a district meeting. That was so
awesome. Like I cannot even say how awesome my district is. We were all
working on a Christlike attribute for this transfer and I picked faith.
I learned so much. Faith is everything. It truly is amazing. I have
definitely grown and learned to trust in the Lord more fully. So we all
talked about what we learned and then we went around and talked about
each others strengths. It was so great. There was so much of God's love
there. It was great. I was so spiritually lifted from that meeting that
there were so many miracles that happened after that. We talked to so
many people and we were so happy doing it, even in the rain. It was
great fun!
Thursday
was a good day. I had an epiphany about faith and it changed my life.
So many wonderful things happened. I can really see God's hand in my
life and I can't be more grateful for it. We did service together as a
district and it was super fun. Got really dirty but it was great.
Saturday
we had an amazing lesson with a new investigator. Her name is Ashley
and I just feel so much love for her. She is so awesome and wants to
learn so much more. It's great.
Sunday
was a rough day for me. Cause I found out that Sister Dennis was
leaving me and I was just so sad. And we got blessings and they were
wonderful, of course. But that was the last time our district was
together. And it was so sad. Elder To'omalaitai is home (in Long Beach
btw) and Sister Dennis is in a new area. This transfer thing is rough
business. But it's all good. We had dessert with the Jones family last
night and it was so much fun. They are just the greatest and love to
help missionaries out so much. I just love them.
I am really excited to continue to grow and apply what I learned from last transfer to this one. It's gonna be great.
I
can't really remember anything else that happened this week cause I
forgot my other planner. But this week was a good last week for us here.
I'm gonna miss Sister Dennis a ton but I know that I have the Lord on
my side. It's gonna be awesome!
I am so grateful for my family
and I know that Heavenly Father is watching over all of you. I am so
blessed to have such a wonderful family and that we all have the Gospel
in our lives. I love this Gospel and I am so grateful for it in my life.
I hope you all are well!
Much love,
