NEPHI MISSION

August 10, 2020

 

hello hello!! it has been a wild day but SO SO fun!!! i got to see some dear friends this week and it has been so good!

• we had in-person exchanges!!! it was SO stinkin' fun to be with the sisters in person. i got to be with sister tate, a sister who was my sister training leader for 4 transfers when i was in sturgis! she goes home tomorrow and it was so sweet to be able to talk about how much we both have grown. i love her!! i also had an exchange with sister daniels, a new missionary! she is the stinkin’ cutest and it was so much fun. she taught me so much and we partied!!

my first exchange with sister tate back in october

exchange with sister tate this past week♡♡

exchanges

• we met with christina again! she is SO cute and i love her. she has been talking about how she wants to really come closer to God so she committed herself to studying the scriptures every day!! we had a pass off lesson with the missionaries in holt and i know they are really going to help her! 

• i got to see sister nuttall and sister jacobs!!!! sister nuttall goes home tomorrow and so does sister jacob’s companion so they were both in lansing today!! we of course got cfa.

sister nuttall video called which was so fun!

and the first day i met sister nuttall♡♡♡

• it was sister olson’s birthday this week! we celebrated with walnut and date brownies (they are so good i promise haha). we also got panda and just had a dang good day.

• hannah pimentel got married on friday and i got permission to call!! i love that woman and it was so sweet to see her.

calling my favorite people- hannah and emily♡♡

• we also have been asked to make a video as a district about a gospel topic and ours is HILARIOUS. i will have to include it in a link next week- stay tuned.

ABOUT THE SUBJECT- we had a zone meeting and an elder talked about how we need to be "nephi missionaries." and having just had an exchange with sister tate, i realized i dont have a ton of time left! i want to dedicate EVERY second of my time to the Lord and serve like nephi! i have been studying the attributes of nephi and how i can apply those to my work and hopefully in turn, become more like the Savior, because nephi was very Christ-like. gotta make the sacrifices worth what i may be missing elsewhere.  

LOVE YOU ALL
