Quarantined

This week went by so slow haha. It started out with one of the sisters I live with testing positive for covid. Me and sister Alapa didn't need to quarantine thankfully but we did get to wear cute masks on our faces for the whole week yayayay



We finally got out into our area this week! Because we share a car it has been so hard to get into our area but because the sisters we share a car with were quarantined we got to go out almost everyday. We didn't have much success while we were out there but we did get to help an Auntie get dinner ready for her family so that was fun. She let us be her taste testers haha



One of our member meals this week the mom talked to her kids about the 3 wise men then proceeded to have all 3 of her kids give us gifts like they were the wise men. I think I would have been laughing if I wasn't so confused what was going on. The lady then started going around the house and throw a bunch of extra stuff she had into boxes for us to take. She is a bit of a horder. We are eating with them again on Friday so I will let you know what I come home with next week. Even though her kids definitely did not want to be there their family was very nice and the dinner was amazing!



Me and Sister Alapa finally got to show someone The Christ Child at the Visitors Center this week. It had been our goal for like 2 weeks now and we finally got to do it! 



I hit my 3 month mark on Monday! To celebrate we got Sweet As ice cream. Best ice cream on the north shore! 



Elder Dale G. Renlund said,



 "If we all try to look past the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season and seek to be more Christlike, I know we can feel more connected to Him in our own lives and lead others to Him as well. As I have acknowledged those who may feel unseen, listened to those who feel unheard, and served those in need—especially during this sacred time of year—I’ve come to realize that the opportunity to be more like Him is one of the greatest gifts we have received from Him. No matter what the world may say about this holiday season, we can turn our hearts to the Savior. He is the essence of the spirit of Christmas."



Something that I have been asking myself the past couple of weeks and I invite you to ask yourself is "What can I give to the Savior this Christmas?"



Love you all

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...
