Hallelujah, praise the lord

Well good afternoon yall. What a week it has been. Just kidding it wasn't that interesting. Saturday was super fun tho. Email me tho I love hearing from you guys.


Didn't really do much this week except for regular mission work. Although, we did have zone conference which was nice being able to see the zone. Also, it was nice to just relax for a couple hours and listen to people give talks and stuff. So that was good. It was also nice to be able to talk to the president about stuff. President Barr is the man. This is the last week of the transfers so I'm kinda just riding it out.

Got some good news this week tho. A bunch of people have been getting their visas to New Zealand. Still haven't gotten mine tho. I'm like the last one to get it lol. But, it sounds like it might be coming soon so that's exciting!

Funnest day of the week was definitely Saturday. Started off the day with a very long conversation with a 7th day Adventist. We were just going around doing visits and we went and visited this guy named Larry. He was super nice. But then he just randomly started bashing us and wouldn't ever let us talk. We had to interrupt him if we wanted to say anything. The conversation went on for a little over an hour and a half on his front porch. Safe to say that he is not interested. But we did make a deal, if he reads the Book of Mormon, we would read his book haha. So we got some new literature that day. We had to like start walking away to end the conversation. 

We had to get out of there because we had to get to another church service. We went to another church called Newspring church, it's a non denominational and we went to support a couple of our friends that go there. We walk in and there was security guards that guided us to our seat. They looked at us like we were aliens I'm not even kidding. Never felt weirder in my life. We walk in and there was legit a concert going on. People were like dancing and stuff. Then, once the concert was over they had some random pastor guy speak. After every single word that guy said, somebody would yell "hallelujah" "amen" "praise the lord". So fun honestly. Weirdest and most uncomfortable thing ever. They would pass around buckets for people to put cash in like every 5 minutes. Never felt so judged in my life lol. It was a good experience tho. Very weird and uncomfortable for sure.

But ya, other than that, not much has happened. Had a trunk or treat with the ward and a chili challenge so that was fun. 

Anyways, hope yall are doing good and are staying safe. Have a good week yall. I love yall. 

Happy Halloween!

Malo e lelei everybody! I hope that you have all had a wonderful week. I hope that each of you wished your mothers a happy mothers day. If you haven't, make sure to go do that now. I would also like to apologize for being terrible at writing emails every week, especially to my mother. It's been a busy few weeks, but they have been awesome. We got to go to the temple again last week. So that meant packing up and driving a van 7 hours up to Hamilton with a bunch of other missionaries. It was super fun, I love a good road trip. I'm so blessed to have gone on a couple temple trips while I've been serving here. It is not to easy to get up there, and it definitely isn't cheap. Each time I go I am reminded of God's Plan of Salvation. One of the things that really stood out to me this time is that when we sacrifice things in our life, it is a similitude to the Savior's sacrifice. Obviously, we can never compare our sacrifices to His ultimate sacrifice, but sacrifice...

Miracles!!

Malo e lelei everybody!! This week was a pretty solid week. We kept super busy and had some success in our area. This week was transfers so we spent Monday to Thursday having meetings and planning for this next transfer. It is always a pretty stressful time, but we've made it and I won't have to do that again so I'm happy. We had a great MLC meeting on Wednesday. The spirit was super strong the whole time. It was definitely my favorite one that I have had. We had a lot of success with one of our friends that we found last week. Her name is Lili, I think I mentioned her last week. Anyways, this week we caught up with her and had a lesson. We set a date for baptism with her on the 27th of this month. She also came to church the next day and loved every minute of it. We have multiple members that are fellowshipping her. They have invited her to institute and other activities. It has been awesome to see. She is progressing so fast that I can't even keep up. Never in my miss...

Last month, last transfer

Kia ora whanau!! I hope you have all had a great week. This week was pretty solid. We had some miracles which was awesome. We were able to focus on our area a lot this week. We found some new people to teach and had some great lessons. I would like to share a miracle that happened this week. Last Wednesday in daily planning I felt inspired to continue knocking a street that we had knocked the week before. So, we planned for that. But, our schedule ended up getting pushed back because we got busy, and we had to decide whether we wanted to knock that street or do the things that got pushed back. I felt again that we should go and knock that street. So, we did. The very first door we knocked on was a girl named Lili. God had definitely been preparing her for us. She told us that she had just recently started to look for another church to attend. She also said that she was looking for people that could teach her about their church. We said "well here we are". We gave her a Book o...
