What a week! So much has been happening lately on my mission! Hitting a year out on the mission everything again has changed and again my focus and how I think has changed! It’s amazing to see how missions change and sculpt us! I’m so grateful for it and now sadly everything will start being my last so I’ve really been taking everything in and now more than ever before giving my all and have an energy that really came from the General Conference of truly helping everyone know that the Second Coming is coming and that we must prepare now and there’s no better time now then to come to Him and partake of His endless Joy and forgiveness!
Now for some Highlights from this week:
– Started the week with a split (unexpected) and was with two greenies Elder Durham with me and then Elder Larson who is normally with DZ mā(our Zone Leaders)! It was crazy! But miracle we invited someone to be baptized and she said yes so MIRACLES!!!
– Had one day where all our lessons canceled and so we just did a whole bunch of visits and it was crazy but it went great and many of them were so grateful we had stopped by! Even with HURRICANE RAIN AND WIND! It was pretty scary our power went out and our service but we are doing good now!
– Interviews with President went WONDERFUL! I love meeting with him and having that time with him! He’s amazing and he came in person for the islands because of our zone conference and yeah it was a wonderful time seeing him and just talking with him!
– ZONE CONFERENCE!!!! So much fun and wow so powerful! I came with many questions and all of them were answered! It was very special! Then we played a little game and I was going crazy on all the conference talk questions and got them all right! So that was fun! Then got everyone to sing happy birthday to me because of all the birthdays in October! Then got to see SŒUR HARRYMAN!! It had been so long and sadly it was her last conference but we got to be together and we literally predicted it! So yeah and got to see Sœur Snow and Elder Granger and with Elder Granger now that he’s DZ(Zone Leader) he did the training and he did great!
– BAPTISM WITH CONRAD! Our ami Conrad got baptized this week and it was the first baptism all year so it was amazing and so many people came to support him and he was so happy! Such a special day! It was also his birthday so even more special!
That’s about it for this week but yeah it went great and truly again flew by! Time really is speeding up and it’s crazy! From my studies this week I received a direct answer to my question of how I can still have strength this last year of my mission and as I was reading President Emily Belle Freeman’s talk she said, “Learn how priesthood ordinances and covenant promises will allow God’s power to flow into your life with greater efficacy, working in and through you, empowering and equipping you to reach your full purpose and potential.” Once I read that it was amazing to see that each of us has this power so readily there to take upon us but we must search for it and see that it’s there for us to reach our full potentials! He is there to endow us with power and give us a force an eternal force or celestial force that helps us through all of our moments of difficulty! Turn to Him always! He’s there to give us this power! I love you all SO MUCH!!!! And miss you all like crazy!!! Till next week! Beaucoup d’amour! Ua here au ia outou! Faaitoito!💙
