9 Months

I hit my 9 months on monday:) Crazy that it has been that long! It feels like it has only been a couple months but it also feels like it has been years since I have seen my family.


Something that is super unique about the Laie Hawaii Mission is that all the Sisters that serve here get to serve together at the Visitors Center their whole mission so we all get really close. Last week they announced that they are taking 8 of the sisters and sending them to the Hawaii Honolulu Mission permanently. Everyone is so sad they are leaving but we are also very excited for them and the people they get to help. One of the Sisters leaving is Sister Ko, my companion right now:(


It was Ben's and my Dad's birthdays this week so I got to call them twice which was so fun!


Really nothing happened this week besides that


Oh we did go bowling today and I crushed it! Marie you would be so proud of me:)) 


A scripture I have been loving this week is 3 Nephi 18:24 "Therefore, hold up your light that it may shine unto the world. Behold I am the light which ye shall hold up". A big thing that we have been pushing with our members is to Love, Share, and Invite. Every single person has the light of Christ in them and as we share that with others we are able to help them and ourselves come closer to Christ. I invite you all to pray for ways you can "hold up your light" this week:)


Love ya,
Emma:)

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...
