Have You Ever Seen A Cat... You Probably Have

This week mainly consisted of 2 things, general conference and cleaning checks.


General Conference was amazing! I love being able to hear uplifting messages and guidance from our living prophet and apostles. It brings me so much joy! One thing that does not bring me joy is that here in Hawaii Conference starts at 6am which means we are waking up at 5:15am to get to the Visitor Center on time to watch with everyone. I'm over it though, anything for Jesus!


Once a transfer(every 6 weeks) we have a competition to see who can have the cleanest apartment. For those who don't know I am a very competitive person. Here on the mission there not very many opportunities for me to be competitive so when we have these cleaning competitions I go ALL OUT! It is actually really bad. It keeps me up at night thinking about what I am going to clean the next day and no matter how much cleaning I do I never think it's clean. We were one of the last apartments to be checked this week so my poor companion had to put up with my OCD craziness all week! Needless to say we got a "WOW" on our cleaning report Stay tuned for next week and I will let you know if we won


Some fun things that happened this week is I got to talk to some of my favorite students on campus, we went to Target, I hit 1 year in Hawaii and 13 months on the mission:)


I was going to talk about my favorite talk from General Conference for my spiritual thought but all of them were so amazing I can't choose. There is a quote that I have been thinking about alot this week, and its from Jan E. Newmans talk when he said, "Jesus is not a Sunday-only topic." Here on the mission its not something that I have to worry about too much. My whole purpose as a missionary is to invite people to come unto Christ so I talk about Him A LOT! But I have been thinking about things I can do when I get home to keep Christ at the center of my life everyday! Obviously we should be doing the basics(scriptures, prayer, church) but on top of that what can I do to continue to grow my testimony and relationship with Him. I don't have any specific answer yet but its something we can all think about. Is Jesus a Sundy-only topic for you? How can you make Him a bigger part of your life starting today?


I hope you enjoyed conference as much as I did! I would love to hear some of your thoughts you had while listening:) And its not too late to watch if you haven't already! Here is the link to all the talks:




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...
