Week 19: The One Where a Cow Sucks on My Hair

 Week 19: The One Where a Cow Sucks on my Hair

"Are you from China? Because I'm chrina getcha number."


Thought I would start with a pickup line I heard over the week. I love telling people I'm half Chinese they think it's so interesting. Okay that was way random but I've just had alot of people ask me what I am this week. 

Let meeee just tell ya straight up never ever take your ankle and roll it, it's like pizza dough, there's just no point to rolling it because pizza isn't even that good. But thankfully the swelling has gone down by now there's just a bruise and I feel like a babbbyyyy but it hurts and I can only use it so much. I feel like it's God telling and showing me how I just need to be thankful for the 30 minutes I had to exercise was good enough. 

What issssss good tho is funeral food, this old lady died and we helped with the funeral last minute, it was so nice working and getting to know all the relief society ladys the whole time. They are just the sweetest and I love them. They also gave us ALOTT of sweets (rip to our weight and stomachs) and funeral potatoes (not much better then the sweets) but I thought of Kiera Gale ofc the whole time I was eating funeral potatoes and how it is (potatoes) one of her favorite foods hehe. SHOUT OUT TO HER AND HOW AMAZING SHE IS!! miss you cuz.

We have so many people we are blessed to get to know here and many are progressing towards baptism. Sister Dickie decided not to die this transfer so we are finishing off stong for the next ten weeks and have several baptisms lined up and hopefully more to come! There is so much work here and it's amazing. The members are amazing and find us so many referrals also. And my favorite thing about them is they aren't in it for the amount or numbers or anything but they legitimately care and want what's best for the people we meet and come to teach and love and become lifelong friends with.

We had tons of service this week and it was nice but at the same time exhausting, we spent like two hours cutting down this one tree with the Elders. And spent lots of hours at funerals, pulling weeds, and ect. 

I miss my home lots and am waiting for the homesickness to slow down but putting my head down and just being in the now seems to work the best... I am so thankful for a home to miss, friends to miss and a family to miss. Especially and always thankful for my parents. I got to talk to my moms kiddos at class this week, and my dad a little extra and I am just so so thankful for them my heart is full 💛 Love you all so much! Keep it real for me :))

Week 50: The One Where Stelann Gets Baptized ♡

  This GORGEOUS girl we met at target took us out for lunch and it was literally the BEST!! she seriously was a light to our day.  "and as the Lord liveth he will remember the covenant which he hath made with them. And he knoweth the prayers... and he knoweth their faith, for in his name could they remove mountains" -Mormom 8:23-24  I think often we think of mountains being moved by literally having them disappear. But as I learn and teach more about the gospel of Jesus Christ I come to understand that mountains don't move, the Lord just gives us the strength we need to climb up them. To stand there and see the beauty at the top, feel the strength and feel the hurt from the climb.   DESIRE IS MORE THAN WORDS ITS ACTION.       NAEA made me wear this lipstick for an hour while finding and I hated it hahahahaha.             "Jack with many talents" -Me "Repeat that saying one ...
