Happy Halloween

Today marks 2 months being set apart as a missionary! It's crazy, time just doesn't even feel real. How can this be the slowest yet fastest 2 months of my life? 



We didn't have much of a Halloween over here. President Bassett asked all of us to be home by 7 on Monday so all the girls that I live with decided to have a party. It wasn't much, most of it was us just watching the mission zoom call together but nonetheless it was fun to all be together.



I know most of you won't believe me when I say this but I have become quite a chef here in Hawaii. I can now proudly say I know how to make rice in a rice cooker, eggs 3 different ways, I can cook chicken on the stove top and I can cook veggies in the oven. I also have a FIRE cookie dough recipe that I can make. You might as well put me on master chef cause I'm that amazing!! Actually tho, if anyone has any recipes that are fast to make and have few ingredients that are healthy send them my way because I am going to get sick of eating bland chicken and rice every day. 



While I was reading President Nelson's talk "The Everlasting Covenant" a part that really stuck out to me was, "Those who keep their covenants will have the strength to resist the constant influence of the world." I have noticed in my life that when I stay strong in the gospel and close to Christ's teaches it is so much easier to resist temptation. I want to invite all of you to read this talk this week and tell me what you liked about it:)



I love your emails even if I don't have time to respond to all of them know that they really do make my day and I read all of them...multiple times haha

First Week Of The Last Transfer

Image
This is the first week of my last transfer. I can't believe it! Where did the time go? Sister Drury and I are staying together as Visitors Center Trainers and I could not be more excited. It's going to be a great last 6 weeks. Highs/Lows of the week: ☆We had our first lesson with Kennedy this week and it went so so well. She is such a faithful person. Her boyfriend, who is a member, was telling us that she is always encouraging him to go to church. Kennedy was so cute and took notes throughout the whole lesson so she wouldn't forget anything ☆There was THE BIGGEST SPIDER I have ever seen at the Visitors Center. I am sure it could have eaten me if it was hungry enough. One of the senior Elders was so brave and killed it for us. He is a true life saver ☆We got a shipment in of the Book of Mormon in Navajo. 1st edition! I remember when I was about 9 months into my mission talking to a man who was helping them translate it while he was serving his mission. At that point they we...

Yummiest Taco Soup Ever!

Image
Highs/Lows from the week: ☆I had interviews with President Bassett yesterday and it was great ☆we saw a spider tie up a fly then kill it. Kinda cool but it was inside our house so then we vacuumed them both up. RIP the fly ☆lots of exchanges ☆One of our members girlfriend wants to take the lessons so we are excited to start teaching her ☆everytime we cook we get a million flies in our house. I think there might be a hole in the window screen. ☆we gave a tour to a lady named Elizabeth at the visitors center and at the end of the tour she says "so is there a place I can go to learn more?" Why yes Elizabeth, there is a place you can go to learn more.:) She wasn't interested in staying in contact with us but we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and showed her the church's website. She was so interested in learning more! ☆my cousins had me and my companion over for dinner and they made the YUMMIEST taco soup. On Facebook I have been posting a series about different Chr...
