No way I'd rather spend my 20th birthday!! It's so bizarre to me that I turn 20 today and that I hit 7 months as a missionary this week. Mind: blown.
The past couple weeks have been so good! It's definitely very different from my last mission, and I find myself getting exhausted pretty frequently hahaha BUT it's such a fulfilling work so it's worth it! We have the coolest ward ever. Everyone is so stoked to have us and we've been focusing a lot on visiting members and inviting them to share the gospel in normal and natural ways! We even gave talks in church last week about missionary work I'm excited to see some miracles from everyone's hard work and faith! We have had so many activities this week, all with insane amounts of food lol. Our fridge is stocked full of leftovers, because they literally just give us all the food at the end of all the events they have. They definitely take care of us
We finally have a friend!! We're teaching Jessica, which has been so awesome. She has already been coming to church in both the MSA and family wards, and all the members just adore her. She reads the book of mormon in between all the other studying she has right now, and she's so interested in learning more. I'm so excited to be teaching her!!
This mission is very focused right now on miracles, so we share the miracles we see with each other and our ward leaders, which is super awesome. Prayers for Sister Langi and I to see some miracles in our area would be appreciated! #faithpreceedsmiracles
We met one of our neighbors, this super sweet old lady named Edna, last week and decided to make her cookies. So we brought them to her and she invited us in and told us her whole life story and gave us a bunch of things she's getting rid of. She's the sweetest person - we invited her to church with us so I hope she comes sometime
Our ward doesn't have any kids, but another ward came and did their primary program for us which was awesome!! I love primary programs it was a nice treat
Anyway that's about it, I hope you all have a fabulous week and thank you so much for the birthday wishes!!!
