Week 16: Thriving!

 Hey! What is up everyone! I'm loving it here in North Spokane! My new companion Sister Pardo is my twin and we have so much fun together, and the sisters in my apartment are the funniest people alive haha! And I absolutely love my new zone, we are all best friends already and it makes missionary work so fun. And I absolutely LOVE being an STL! It is so much fun. Ahh so happy.


Things to know:
We are teaching a ton of really cool people. One of our most progressing is a 10 year old girl named Adora. She really wants to get baptized, but her dad is catholic and made a deal with her to take the missionary lessons for a year and then see if she still wants to get baptized (anyone getting deja vu? it sounds just like Amy's situation... haha). Her mom is a member though, so hopefully we can convince them to push it up. Another thing, I get fed by members like every night here now, and I seriously am going to get fat haha. 

Stories of the week:
A super cool miracle happened this week! We had a really spiritual lesson with an inactive member about faith, and yesterday she came to church for the first time in 30 years! So awesome. Another miracle was a recent convert brought his nephew to church, and we taught him a lesson after church and he seriously loved church. He answered a question in young mens, was praying during the Sacrament, and is already reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon! He seriously will probably get baptized! So cool. Okay last one, we met the coolest couple street contacting and they said they have been looking for a new church to raise their daughter in, and they were super interested in what we had to share! So many miracles!

Spiritual thought: 
My spiritual thought is on being happy where you are. My cousin Kenzie gave a farewell talk that I loved and was able to listen to during my free time, and she shared how we can't just wait for things to get "better" or "happier", because we will always be waiting! Find joy in the journey, and always look for the positive and you will be amazed at how much better and happier your life will become! And don't forget to say your prayers and thank God for all the good things you've been given :)

HAVE A GOOD WEEK! LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES! 

Love you!

Week 81: How far away is that plane?

Ahhhh. It's a weird feeling writing your last weekly about your last week as a missionary. I have had so many mixed emotions this week. ...
