HEY This week was a little bit crazy, but next week is going to be even CRAZIER  We had a cool experience where we had a different activity planned, and the spirit slapped me in the face and said we needed to go home and call some phone numbers from old missionary records! So we did it and we called a few people and talked to a few people that said they want to learn more about our church! SO COOL it has been awhile for us, but my companion and I have seen many miracles since being in our area, we are so grateful!  We were asked last week to basically do our whole sacrament meeting program!! We planned to sing and give talks, and we walk in to the chapel to start and holy cow, our mission president decided to visit our ward that day! Oh my goodness we were freaking out... haha but we did it, and we matched head to toe which was awesome, and President gave us a thumbs up at the end so I think he approved!  Today for pday we are having a chiller day because there's another ...

Happy pday everybody! Okay! I'm going to start this thread for cool experiences that I'm having on the mission that I don't think I would necessarily have outside of the mission! This is exclusively for the fam (love you all) also please don't judge my English/Grammer, its getting really bad!  Okay so this one is around the passing of our cousin Dani. This was really weird for me to hear about. I knew that it was going to happen, I just never imagined it would be on my mission. It did really hit me when I found out that she was really gone from this earth... it was a really weird feeling. It kind of caused me to ponder and think of my testimony of the Plan of Salvation. Did I really know that I would see her again? Did I truly believe that her spirit is still out living somewhere else? At the time I really wasn't sure of any of it anymore. For many weeks before, I had been studying the Atonement of Jesus Christ. And after her passing, I decided to take a pause on th...

I CANT BELIEVE IM HALF WAY! It's going by way too fast!!  This week was definitely a busy one!  We had our Christmas Concert! A big group of us missionaries have been practicing hard to pull this together and we're 2/4 concerts in! It's fun and lots of people come and get into the Christmas spirit with us! Our uniforms that our mission presidents wife made us wear were a little rough, but we looked VERY festive  I had stake correlation with our stake Presidency and our mission President! I love that my mission President trusts me, but boy is that lots of pressure sometimes!  This week was transfers, so lots and lots of my mission friends left me... including sister nebeker, probably my closest mission friend ever who I came to hong Kong and was quarantined with! Her last night here, she actually stayed the night in our apartment because it's closer to where she needed to be for her covid test that morning! It was a party, we didn't have an extra bed for her so I sle...
