Watermelon days

This week was wayyyyy better. Of course there were some downs but overall it was a good one.

This week i really wanted to feel like i belong with my group of sisters. So this week i prayed really hard to be a baller. I prayed for the desire to play basketball. And it changed the dynamic of my group so much! The sister that i did not get along with is now a real homie all because i started to participate in the basketball games. I did not see that coming.

I also showed my comps that i am interested in their culture. I lesrned a lot. Then S Mariner asked, "is it bad to call someome fat here? I told my trainor that she looked pregnant and i told my mtc comp that she got fat and now they both don't like me." 

Major achievement🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑I ate a huge watermellon by myself over the course of this week😤🍉 dont let your dreams just be dreams.

We are not supposed to have members drop food off, but apparently saying no to food for Samoans is the equivalent of "screaming in their face" as one sister in my group says. So we accepted it and oh my gosh they brought so much that we did not have to grocery shop! Big W for the missionary life.

This week was also better than last week because instead of trying to boss around my comps i made a list of things i can do by myself! It works for about eight hours each day and then I start getting a little lonely. Not going to lie, the most difficult thing is definitely my inner dialogue. I try to stay busy but embarrassingly i find that I start talking to myself in my head. So i started writing lots of letters. It helps me feel like I am talking to someone. If you wanna send me one back and include a stamp well then i would not protest😉😉

The fourth of July was extremely fun because I got to talk to and see people! I always thought, "a mission will be perfect for me since I love to talk!" Nope. My comps speak samoan 90% of the time and i hardly see anyone every day. Anyways, our district got together and had a picnic and played volleyball. Man i love my district.

I am going to put a ton of effort into sharing the gospel through FaceBook. I have spent the last three years hating social media, and now I see it is one of my only options if I want to truly work hard and share the gosepl. Please follow my facebook page! I am not allowed to follow other people back (idk how to put it in FaceBook terms), but I would greatly appreciate it if you would be my partner in sharing the gosepl. 

Send me a letter!

Miracles

  We had miracles on Sunday  People that we are teaching went to church like CRAZY. The most amazing instance was when a girl who is at her dad's house in another city 50% of the time went to the ward over there. Big win because her dad doesn't like the church. She is 13 and making these decisions on HER OWN!  On Friday, we drove to a guy's house that told us we could stop by anytime. But when we stopped by he wasn't home. But as we were driving away we saw him in the far off distance in his backyard. SO we yelled his name from the other side of the yard and climbed down the retaining wall and started teaching him  Less than 10 days. I am going to soak this all up. Love you Sister Hall

Hello, Well I was sitting on the plane just relishing in my last moments of no expectations. I thought to myself, "enjoy this while you can, because it is going to be non-stop work, obedience and strict schedules for the next fifteen months." Hahaaaa what a joke. Expectations met reality and it hurt a little. I'm in a trio with two Samoan sisters serving in the Samoan area. We are stationed in West jordan and the area we cover is bigger than my actual mission! Sister Tofaeono is my trainer and my other comp's name is Sister Mariner. Sister T is very understanding, chill and extremely genuine. I love that about her. She is so chill in fact that when i ask for guidance or about the rules, she says, "do what ever you want." And sister mariner is beautiful and mellow. They are both from Samoa and they speak Samoan as their first language. They speak it to each other a lot so i am kinda in my own world A lot of the time. One thing that is weird for me is that the...
