God Is Good

We met the most amazing couple this week at the Visitors Center! Sofia and Diego came in have no idea what the temple was and wanted to know all about it! We spend a good 1½ hour with them teaching them about what we believe. Sofia loved learning about the sealing room and the idea that her family could be together forever and Diego loved how all the pictures of Jesus Christ in the Visitors Center were of him happy and full of hope. Sofia and Diego are both from Italy but we were able to get there contact information and give Sofia a Book of Mormon in Italian and we will continue to teach them more when they get home:) I haven't had an interaction like that at the Visitors Center in a really long time so it was such an amazing experience!


Our members took us out to the best sit down restaurant in Laie! It's also the only sit down restaurant in Laie:)


Lots of my friends that I have made at the Teaching Center have been progressing so much and I am so excited for them!


Training a new sister missionary is SOO SCARY!! I have no idea what I am doing. It's like the blind leading the blind. A scripture that I have been thinking about a lot this week is Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Sometimes I feel like God gives us hard things because he knows we won't be able to do it by ourselves and it forces us to rely on Christ. For example I can't explain or teach people how to do things for the life of me. I am SOO BAD at it! If I were to try and train someone all by myself that would be a disaster. Lucky for me I don't have to. I do my best to help my trainee and know that God will help me help her.


I feel so blessed to be serving here in Laie at this time. God is so good!

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...
