RIP little bunny, Go to church, I'm Hangry


Hello

This week I participated in a bunny massacre.

I didn't mean to.... it was dark and the poor bunny thought it would
be a good idea to run right in front of my car.... and, well you
obviously know the rest. It was a tragic day.

These past few weeks have been fun! We had interviews with president
Griffin, those are always fun. I love my mission president and all of
his many stories.

Yesterday I was just hangry all during church. And the wonderful part
about that is we went way over in both sacrament meetings. Some people
just have too much knowledge in their brains!! I wish I had that
problem...

We found a new investigator this week. And we have potential to get a
couple more next week. The work has been picking up in this area!! And
it's fun to be apart of it. Teaching is so fun, and I love the spirit
that I feel when I'm in a lesson.

I'll tell you a quick story-
Once upon a time, little sister Arnold had just came out on her
mission, it was her first transfer, her first area, well it was her
first day. ANYWAYS. She was able to teach the most amazing family that
night with her very very amazing companion. Long story short, they all
got baptized a few weeks later..... fast forward a year and this
family was sealed in the TEMPLE!!!!! I love love love that I was able
to teach this family and hear about their wonderful experience in the
temple. I love the temple, knowing that families can be together
forever makes me excited to have my own eternal family some day.

Anyways! Have a good week. Do service and love one another.

Share the gospel not because you have to, but because you love it.



Heeeeeelllllllo!

These past two weeks have been busy! With MLC, Zone meeting, and Zone
conference I've been able to learn so much from my mission president
and the leaders of the mission.

I don't have much to report on this week, but I just wanted to bear my
testimony of the pure simplicity of the gospel. I have exactly 3
months left on my mission, it's been the hardest thing I've ever had
to do but the most rewarding so far. For those of you who are
struggling, doubting, going through trials, and wondering if god is
even there for you..... he is. And he loves you more than you can ever
comprehend. I've seen small glimpses of heavenly father's love for
those that I teach, and come in contact with.  I love my mission, and
wouldn't trade these experiences for the world, but that doesn't mean
that it hasn't been hard. In those hard times I've been able to lean
on my savior, and feel his unconditional love. It's something that
nobody can truly explain until it's been experienced. And that's what
I have been able to teach on my mission. I teach about God's love for
his children, about Joseph smith and how he restored the gospel of
Jesus Christ, about how families can be together forever, where we go
after this life and why we are even here, and many many more things.

I wouldn't be out on my mission if I didn't know it was true. I share
the gospel not because I have to, but because I love it with every
fiber of my being. I know that the gospel can bring everyone
happiness, I've seen it for myself. The Book of Mormon is another
testament of our savior. These past 15 months have been so worth while
and I am forever thankful for this experience.

Anyways, I love you all. Have a great week!!!!

Samoan music speaks to me



Hey,

This week was pretty cray with transfers and such. So my little
Filipina friend went home. *tear* she made me go stay with some other
sisters in the mission.... basically she ditched me.... but it's fine.
She's back with her family so that's all that matters:)

My new companion is sister McKenzie. She's a ball of fire, and a fun
lass. She has introduced me to this Mormon group that sings (in
Samoan??? I apologize if I got that wrong) Samoan.... anyways I love
it, and it's just the best. Beautiful voices.

I gave a talk in church (2nd one. I'm in a roll ;) ) and it was about
service through missionary work. I decided to talk more about christ's
life and what he did. In the end I talked about the atonement and how
that was the ultimate service because he loves us. I thought it went
pretty good.

We had a miracle happen, a lady came into one of our wards (non
member) and said that she just moved here and that she's been
investigating for a bit. So now we have a lesson with her tomorrow and
I'm excited!!

This week should be a good one... we have lots planned :)

I love you all! Have a great week!!
