After Another Wonderful Week... :)


Family! I love you all! And I heard Yellowstone was this week! I hope it was a great, fun, spiritual, uplifting experience as always!! I miss you all!!
This week we did something called, "mini missionaries" So I was pretty much training!! We had Sister Niuila, who just graduated high school, and is going on her mission pretty soon. She was SO FUNNY!!! Hahah never laughed harder. I miss laughing so hard with Abby- so it was nice to do that again!:) She's a big Tongan, and she taught me how to eat, sleep, act, and dance like a Tongan. I was like- dangg girl.
It was fun being able to train. I was so freaked out at first about having to be on my own, but everything turned out great!:) I know a lot more then I thought I did! Its just like how dad taught us to swim by throwing us in the water... I'm learning how to be a better missionary by training after two weeks!!
Mom- Thanks so so so much for the clarks. I wear them every single day (the brown ones we ended up getting last minute)
Hahaha Lahaina just got a round about put in the other day, and everyones has SUCH a fascination about it. Its the big talk around here.. so funny.
So one of my favorite things is missionary correlation. OHH my heck. haha we have it at Uncle Joes house (the one that speaks pigeon) and he lives on the beach. Like literally one the beach!! His house is on the sand.. I was like... this is the coolest thing I have seen in my life. His kitchen, bathroom.. outside on the sand. So we have our meetings with him on the beach and watch the sun set. Yeah... missionary correlation is always a good time.
A MIRACLE that has happened this week... We have been trying to reach this family of 5 every. single. day. But since its summer- they're never home (no one is ever home in the summer) So FINALLY we went to their house after a longgg hard day... and I was just praying so hard that they'd be home... Turns out.. the mom was home. Turns out- she has been searching for a church her whole life, and she is confused why all the churches are so different. Yep. We were pretty pumped. We set a return appointment, and when we came, she was outside with her book of Mormon siting on her chair ready to hear our message. WOW. It was so incredible. I've never been so excited!! I cant wait to go back and teach her:) 
I love being a missionary. I love teaching! I love all these people and love seeing them progress and strengthen their relationship with their heavenly Father. I'm doing it as well! I love you Mom and Dad! Thanks for being amazing parents:)
