"Let what you believe translate into how you live."



This week was pretty good! 

 We had Donny Osmond come for devotional on Sunday, that was pretty interesting. Also, this weekend is the
Mission President Training. 

 I've come to really savor exercise time, because I get to play volleyball and because I get to wear pants. The
MTC has been good to me though. My district is still awesome, we've gotten to know each other really well.
My companion and I are doing great. She's still quiet but she has a really great sense of humor! I love her!  She is probably the most amazing person I have ever met at taking criticism well and applying it. She's funny and every time we go to the gym together afterwards she always says "i feel swoll" which would probably be funnier to you if you knew her but imagine this cute little sister just bragging about being buff. She's the best!

The Tuesday devotional was reeeeeeaaally good. President Hallstrom came (President of the Seventy) and he and his wife spoke about the necessity of having a broken heart, and taking it to the lord to be filled. He also talked about the necessity to decide right now what kind of a missionary we will be, instead of 6 months or 12 months from
now.  If we decide now to be exact, and obedient, then we will not waste time, focus, have energy and compatibility with the spirit. Something I also really liked was when he said to "let what you believe translate into how you live." I thought it was beautifully phrased.

Love you all!!

All You Need is LOVE

yes my package came yesterday!! perfect timing in fact!  Anyway all is well here, normal missionary work, not much to report on this week. Bermos and Linda i think are going to have to wait to go to vanuatu to get married, we tried getting all their paperwork and everything together so that they could get married here but with having to translate a lot of stuff (because their papers were in english and would have to be in french) and what not it became a little too complicated and we wouldnt have enough time, so i think they are going to go back to vanuatu and get married over there and then have Bermos's baptism over there as well. Veronica is doing good, we had to reschedule our lesson for this week, but we are praying that she willl be coming to church this sunday anyway.  Something ive learned in the mission is just how to love everyone, how to accept peoples imperfections and not let their weaknesses get in the way of seeing the good in people, and seeing their di...

elloooooo bonjourrrrr saluuuut  hows it going? all is well here in new cal, workin away in same old koutio! things are going well though, i feel like i dont really have much to report. We did see Bermos this week, and hes doing great! And guess what my dream when i was younger of being a wedding planner, its come true!!! haha we are in the middle of helping Bermos and Linda get married! I dont think it will be quite as exciting as the TLC wedding planning shows pretty sure itll just be a civil marriage so our job is just to help them get the papers together but still! anyway we shall see how it goes over but wish us luck!  other than that all is well, we had a lesson with veronica yesterday that was awesome, she is this really sweet mami (grandma) from wallis, she dosent speak great french so we have been having a member who speaks wallesian come and translate for us during the lesson so that she can understand better, and she is starting to progress! love her...
