Almost 4 days down!!

 What's up guys! I don't have much to report today since it's only been a few days but I decided I would test this blog out while I'm still home! 

Every week I am going to try to list some miracles or tender mercies I had throughout the week so here are this weeks:
  1. Being able to feel rested after feeling so tired
  2. My pday being on Thursday!
  3. My companion being so awesome


My farewell was on Sunday and I loved seeing all of the people that I love one last time! I am so lucky and blessed with the amazing friends and family in my life. The pic is the first night after getting set a part and I was vibing. 


This week for most days I went on walks with my mom for 30 minutes. She likes to actually walk fast and get the heart rate moving but I wasn't always a fan when it was 6:30. Working on fixing my sleep schedule so we will see how that goes🙏


First day at home-mtc was good but so tiring. Meetings all day on zoom are not my favorite but I have gotten used to them more every day! I was actually dying because I could not fall asleep the night before so the second class from 1:30-4:30 was hard. Don't worry I swear I was listening to that class I just took a quick bereal.

We also went to Texas roadhouse and you can tell how happy I was about that in this pic. The food was gas and thankfully Alabama has Texas roadhouse there because I'll miss that place.


Day 2 was a really fun day! The district is getting closer and we had a devotional we watched with just us and no teachers and it was so fun to see everyone's personality more. I think I laughed for the first time really hard that day in that meeting. As you can tell by that second picture my room is super clean and I am completely packed and ready to leave. I also have a red blanket I keep on the floor for when I get cold but I'm trying to figure out if it's a good thing or if it makes me feel more tired in the afternoon haha. I also took a 20 minute nap in my lunch break and that was so lit. Yesterday after another 20 minute nap like the day before I was so tired during my second class and I was not feeling it. I prayed to be able to feel more rested and be more awake and motivated. In probably five minutes I was less tired and was talking in the breakout rooms and almost forgot how tired I was in the beginning.


Two more be reals because you know I'm gonna keep posting those til I leave. I deleted tik tok so I think its okay if I keep bereal right? A good trade I would say. 

Me and my companion also did our first practice appointment and it went much better then I thought it would. We still have lots to work on but I was so anxious about it and it went okay! Me and my comp work really well together and we hit a lot of points that lessons should have. For day 3 I would say it wasn't too bad.

Now we are at today which is Thursday. The day I was dreading having to see my parents leave.



I'm not gonna lie it was horrible. It was the hardest thing to have to see them leave and know that I couldn't give them another hug or talk to them in person for 18 months. It didn't even feel real. And now I have to say goodbye in a few days to the rest of my people haha. But it will be okay!!


On a happy note though I originally didn't think i would see them leave and I would just have to spend time with them on Wednesday night and they would come in during a meeting on Thursday to give me one last hug. But then I found out my pday is Thursday!!! This meant that I could drop them off and have one final goodbye that actually felt like a goodbye! I know that God knows me and knew that this would be one thing that would make things a little easier for me.


My grandma then got me Cafe Rio which makes everything better. I then did some personal revelation and got to read some scriptures that were so so good! I also listened to I Know My Redeemer Lives by the tabernacle choir and if you need a little bit of peace in your life I recommend listening to that. I also took a nap after and that was soooo good. Thank goodness for pdays! 

Anyways, overall this week has been so much better than I thought. I joked with my mom that it was going almost too good. And she said that is what missions are. Lots of ups and downs. Lets hope the down doesn't come too quickly hahah. I really feel so lucky to have my companion that I do. She is so sweet and we get along so well so that is another blessing right now. I feel so excited to go to the MTC to see my people which is so good to have that to look forward to even though leaving will be sad. 

I feel like a lot of those pictures were sad but I know that there are going to be hard times but that Christ helps us through those times. "He lives to comfort me when faint... he lives to wipe away my tears". He is there for us always and God is willing to help us through our struggles we just need to ask him for help. I know that he can bless you with comfort and peace through your trials as you pray often to him. Love you guys! Email whenever I want to know what goes on in your life!

Well, my bad I didn't write last week. I really didn't have much to report and had no pictures. I also was sick on Monday so I was not feeling it hahah.  This is all I have to report from last week. Had an awesome lunch with a member Sister Champagne. It was so fun and delicious. We also filmed for our social media page and then got Chic-fil-a! Then we also got Zaxby's Chicken Bacon Ranch Loaded Fries. That was spectacular! I had been talking about it my whole mish and so finally having it was wonderful. So thankful for Lucie introducing that one to me. Wow pretty much looks like all we do here is eat. Lastly, we played some fun games on p-day. But that night I started to really feel like I was getting real sick.  So this was me Tuesday at the end of the day. I was perishing. Probably my hardest day so far. We had district council and then we got Panda and Boba. We were rushing all day to get where we needed to and to all our lessons. We visited some members and then Sister...

We're back

Okay it's been a while since I've written one of these. My bad. Lots has happened tho! We had zone conference and got a new mission president!! Oh my I love them so much. They are an answer to all of my prayers with the revelation they have for this mission already. They are SO FUN!!! We had a meet and greet with them and it was awesome. They are young and so cool. So that's pretty exciting. Zone conference was good. We said bye to the Chibota's which was sad. We will miss them too!  Lowkey these past weeks have been pretty hard but I've learned to rely on Heavenly Father more than I ever have. I had only Him to pray and talk to and sometimes I would just sit there with Him and I could feel that I was loved. Some days I didn't know how I could get through the long day but I prayed in my head and I know He gives us strength. I also appreciate every one of you who sends prayers to missionaries. It is felt!!  This week we had an all day service on Monday and we hel...

Exchanges!!

This week was pretty good. We had 5 of our Haitian friends come to church!! They drove 40 minutes to get there!! We put 2 people on baptismal date and we had a lot of good lessons. We have been finding a lot and that has been helpful! Our new mission president is changing a lot of things and it is so good! We now can use our apartment gyms and we are all going on a 3 week social media fast. This next week is transfers and I'm so scared haha. I am curious to see what he will do and if he switches things up.  We had exchanges this week and I got to see my best friend Sister Ady!! ❤️👯🏼‍♀️ Yayayayay!! I love her and it brought me so much joy. I am so lucky with the friends God has blessed me with from serving a mission. I've met some lifelong friends. Sister Ady is leaving so it was our last exchange ever. Next time we are together we will be partying it up in good ole Utah. I hadn't laughed as much as I did with her in a whileee.  We had the funniest member meal too. They we...
