Friends!!!! Hope you're doing good and that no one is insane during this quarantine. Just know that I love all of you!!!!
So some news. We be receiving about 50 new missionaries in June and then about 50 more in July! In June as far as we know, there will be quite a bit of transferring....haha pray for everyone involved in transfer planning, I'm sure they would greatly appreciate it. So far, none of anyone I know is getting reassigned to LA, BUT. If any of you have friends or relatives coming than let them know we are SO EXCITED to have them come and we are ready to receive them with so much love!!!! Most will be speaking spanish, but ah I'm so excited to have these missionaries!! No doubt they've all been through a lot, but ahaha I just want to hug all of them buuuut that would be super good for corona so don't worry I won't do that.
Other news is that Sister shay will be leaving end of this transfer))): BUT we are throwing a birthday twin party because we won't be together for our birthdays lol. So any clever twinning ideas, send them this way.
And how is the work going you ask? One emoji: 🔥🔥🔥🔥(well, one emoji repeated a lot of times) not every day is like "WOW THAT WAS AMAZING!!!" but me and Sister shay are still making goals for dances so you know we're in a good place. Here's some good experiences for you all
-this past week me and Sister Shay did exchanges. We only have 2 other sets of sisters, but it's fun because we all party together!!! There's a sister that's newer in our zone and it was her first real exchange, and I got to bring her to me and Sister Shay's area. I told her that one of the first things I heard about exchanges was that miracles just happen. And she was like, wow really!?!?! And I was like, yeah, a lot of times, they just happen. And miracles always happen, but like a crazy ton of miracles happened that day. We made a new friend, and all of our lessons except for one didn't cancel, and we just worked so hard that day, and she's actually a Chinese missionary too so she taught so powerfully in chinese, and at the end of the day, she was like, you were so right!! There were so many miracles today!! And it was just so cute. Ah amazing.
-we threw a nacho party because one of our sisters is going back to her original mission (historic site at Nauvoo, not kidding you guys this place literally sounds happier than Disneyland, got book a tour with Sister John if you ever get the chance)
-and then we has another breakfast party because we had a sister's women's conference via zoom, but our sisters in our zone could all gather together!
-we committed on of our friends to baptism!! That was amazing so we are preparing her for baptism!!! It won't be for a while though
And ending with a spiritual thought!! In Alma 53:2 it talks about how Moroni and Lehi (not the very first one) came back together and they were so happy because they were each safe, and it says that they were beloved by each other. Well, first, I wrote on a sticky note, "don't forget that you are beloved by me" and stuck it in Sister Shay's scriptures on that verse so hahaha she'll find it one day, but the second thing is, it made me think, what if were all beloved by each other?? And really just truly loved every single person? I don't know, that sounds pretty amazing to me. We are all beloved sons and daughters of God. He loves us so much. I have yet to understand why beloved truly means, but this week, I just kept thinking about it, and how I want everyone to know that they are a beloved son or daughter of God when I come in contact with them.
Anyways!! I love you all!!!!
-they're like all the same picture so enjoy
