Whoaaa

 It hit me like a ton of bricks that I love the mission life. Now I understand why people return from their missions "weird." You better believe I am about to do the same.


Updates:
1 Therapy! Wow we are focussing on Mindfulness and it is changing my life straight up. Everything has changed because my perspective has changed. It can be slightly overwhelming because change is difficult, but it feels good at the same time, too:)
2 Someone we are teaching accepted the invitation to be baptized.🌊🔥!! We then had a lesson going over the baptismal interview questions and when he didn't understand something, his wife (who is a member) would explain it to him. It was precious❤. Families are ordained of God!
3 General Conference was litttt. I felt the spirit, enjoyed a pumpkin pie with my friends, and took a good nap. Those are the three pillars of a good general conference weekend. My district also had territorial contention with another district, so dinner and a show right?
4 I learn so much every day that I have started to dread writing in my journal cause I have so much to say!!!! And that is really saying something because I am a die hard fan of journalling. But don't worry, I am still doing it😄
5 I would say one of my biggest blessings is the opportunity I have been given to serve a 'mission in corona.' I absolutely love it. Seriously.
6 We have transfers tomorrow! Sister Hopkins and I are staying togther and we are SO EXCITED🔥🤩🎉🥳and our new district is going to be amazing!!! 

My favorite quote I heard this week is from my wonderful companion (well, at least I think it is a 'Sister Hopkins Original,' but I don't have access to the internet, so I can't prove otherwise): "There is more to life than living." If you are wondering if you deserve a more rich life, or if you are wondering if the effort to relieve your suffering is a worthy cause, YES!! IT IS!! God and Jesus love you❣❣❣❣❣

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...
