God is TOO good










I am just pretty happy and grateful! I can't believe that God loves me enough to put me here in Utah with my best friends❤ My district calls itself a celestial family district, because we want to be together forever:)

My district spent Saturday doing service for ward members! We raked leaves, painted, and cleaned a pond. It was so fun! 

Sister Hopkins and I had many lessons with English members and we were blessed to feel the spirit strongly. I love strengthing the ward and stake! It is one of my favorite jobs that we have as missionaries.

The govener of Utah state mandated masks, social distancing, and made it so social gatherings (events not put on by an organization) are not allowed. Our mission likes to stay on the cautious side, so all of our pday activities were cancelled. That is a bummer because we were going to celebrate our the birthday of some of our fellow missionary friends. We were super excited, but we have still had fun driving around to boutiques! We are waiting to hear if we are allowed to have meetings in person. But if you want to send some extra prayers this way because some of my missionary friends really need some extra strength and support during this time😇❤

It snowed! I have been in the Christmas spirit and I am loving it! I am loving Utah😄

The brain should be INside the head, right?

  It was a great week! Here are the notable things 1. General Conference. Eight hours of tv?! Yes please. I loved so many of the talks and just having time to remember what is truly important: Jesus Christ 2. A member gave us an Easter dinner and for dessert she gave us each one pound chocolate bunnies . We left them on a random doorstep down the street and ran .  3. We were watching general conference as a district, all happy and in la-la land, AND THEN suddenly they call Alvin F Meredith "Tripp" to be a general authority??? That is my mission president. Ah no! So we had a mission wide zoon call and we all cried and went through the 7 stages of grief. He is leaving in June. Never forget Tripp . He is an amazing person. I have never met someone who cares so much about my true conversion to Christ. 4. We saw a dog with its brains coming out of its skull. We saw the literal brain and blood. Everyone acted like it was nothing as the three legged dog was walking around, begging t...

Candy Necklace review

  Hello I bought a candy necklace  I was so excited to wear it but when I tried to put it on, my HEAD WAS TOO BIG. I couldn't fit it over this big noggin. Genetics are working against me I am training again! My companion's name is Sister Westbrook and she is from California. She is the second of five. My favorite things about her are that she is an amazing story-teller, decisive, outgoing, and iconic. Overall she is super cool and I am blessed to be able to welcome her into the mission! Also, she said she doesn't like food with taste. We eat every meal together, but rarely the same meal We spent some time knocking doors this week. The usual way this goes down is we message a neighbor who lives next to a person who has not yet accepted the message of Christ's restored gospel. We ask the neighbor if they would accompany us to knock in the door. Usually they say yes, unless they have good information for why we shouldn't. Then we knock on the door and introduce ourselv...

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...
