One word. 4 letters. WILD. This week was wild.

2. The wild events of this week
3. Spiritual thought
But first, for kicks and giggles:
But first, a cute quote from my dear cousin, Ella (I love you Ella, be good). My aunt told me that she asked her, "Mom, what does companion mean on a mission?" And my aunt replied, "it's someone you have to be with all the time." And my cousin went all "it's like your BFF." 😂😂 Sis. Hoe, I know you're reading this, so in answer to that, yes. Yes it is. Sis. Hoe, you rock, you stone, you pebble (phrase as a courtousy of Sis. Hoe and Sis. Cummings).
1. Pictures
-Elder Williams' birthday so the sisters in the district piled our snacks together for him
-Elder Williams (the one in the middle holding the pumpkin) wanted us to dress as pumpkins for his birthday so we all wore orange and green
-Sis. Leng in the middle
-we blame Elder Marion and his what he calls "seminary candy" for our blue tongues
-for the ni haos that never end (hope you all are having fun in Taiwan!)
-it snowed. We found a snowman. Sis. Johnson whoever you are, if you're looking for your nametag, frosty the snowman took it.
-Me and Sis. Leng at the temple!
2. The wild events of this week
This week me and Sis. Hoe welcomed a new Sister into our companionship!!! Sis. Leng!! Sis. Leng is from Taiwan and she is going to be serving in Taipei. She's a solo sister (basically she is the only sister in her district) and is in a different branch than me and Sis. Hoe. We're not with her 100% of the time because we have different schedules, but we love her so much and me and Sis. Hoe really feel like God sent her just for us.
This week me and Sis. Hoe also hosted all the early arrival international sisters. That was way fun but crazy! They came in on Tuesday and we took them to dinner (we met Sis. Leng Tuesday too!) Then we took their luggage to their temporary rooms and also devotional and devotional review. It was so fun to have so many sisters at our devotional review! In the morning we took them all with their luggage to breakfast. But then we found a sister's luggage, but we couldn't find her, BUT NO WORRIES turns out she was just at the front desk and there was just some miscommunication. We found her and took her to breakfast with the rest of us and not going to lie, a little stressful, but good times. She is this cute sister from Thailand! She's been serving in Thailand for 3 months and has been visa waiting, but she finally made it to the MTC! She was really tired from her travels, and she pulled up Google translate to communicate with us, but it turned out good and we got her where she needed to go!
Also this week we did video call TRCs. So me and Sis. Hoe called this cute lady and guess what?? She lives in Los Angeles and can pretty much walk to the temple!! She helps out with family history and she said when I get to LA we'll have to met in person!
3. Spiritual
Spiritual thought time. Let's go.
This week I want to talk about the power of praying for your companion when they're speaking. A friend shared with me that when you pray for your companion in your heart while they're speaking, you can both feel the Spirit burning in both of your hearts. I thought this was pretty cool (so shout out to you cool friend, you know who you are), and so what did I do? I tried it out. Word of advice, if you want to know something works, try it out. During a "teaching visit" this week (we just teach our teacher and she pretends to be an interested person) we were teaching about the Plan of Salvation, and I started praying for Sis. Hoe in my heart at the end when she was bearing her testimony. Our teacher started tearing up and so did I because Sis. Hoe's testimony was so strong. So if you're on a mission, pray for your companion while they're speaking. It's pretty awesome.
Love you all! God loves you, go fight win.
