Zone Conference And Buzz Cuts

Hello hello everyone! It's been another quick but crazy week and I'm so grateful for it and the spirit that was felt! 


Highlights of the week have definitely been all the packages I've got from my people for my birthday! Thanks for all of the birthday love and messages! I love you all so much!! This week we had zone conference which was awesome and so so spiritual. The topic was the first vision and we were able to study the different accounts. Let me tell ya the magnificent spirit that was felt and the truth of the message of the restoration that was testified was powerful! It Made me really grow my testimony and know for myself for it all to be true! 


Another amazing thing I've been growing a testimony of was just seeing everyone through the eyes of christ and showing everyone the purest love of christ! It's so hard to be like christ I'm nowhere near where he was but I'm striving everyday. I've really reflected on what our prophet testifies of about becoming a peacemaker because peacemakers are needed in this world! I'm learning and growing so much out here but man it's hard! This work is hard and being away from you guys is really hard! But there's no other place I could imagine myself being other than the mission field and serving and preaching this gospel I love so much! 


Testifying of all these truths everyday have really helped my testimony grow! I've been lowk sad lately about hearing news of Elder Holland and how his wife just passed and how he's been in and out of the hospital:( I don't get any news updates except from members but it's not sounding good. If yall know me yall know how much I love Holland and my sister knows how legit sad I was that he had covid last conference and couldn't speak. But I've been listening to his talks a lot this week and want to invite yall to listen to one. The talk 'Be ye therefore perfect - eventually' by elder Holland is a top 10 for me and it would mean the WORLD TO ME if you guys listen and text me your thoughts bc I love Holland and love that message! 


I love yall so much and until next week! 


PS. I'll send the talk link in an email or listen on gospel library.

Hey Everyone! Just checking back in after an amazing weekend of REVELATION! I love General Conference and the inspiring messages! I hope you were all able to tune in at some point and if you couldn't watch it watch it rn! The prophets voice is so powerful! After hearing his address there was a little bit of a sense that the second coming of christ is coming A LOT sooner than we may think! But also big news! A NEW TEMPLE IN QUEEN CREEK! I literally called it! Great to see the old hometown getting a house of the lord!  Besides conference this week was a good one! We had zone conference and it was focused on using the scriptures while teaching the doctrine of christ! So many scriptures that I wrote down!! Also this week in Oakland has been HOTTT. it's been getting up to 100 degrees in the bay which is unusual here. Usually I wouldn't complain. Bc I'm an AZ kid but when you live in the top apartment with no AC it's a bummer!  Anyways a crazy miracle is our new friend Co...

New Year New Elder

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!  This week was so fast but it was a good one lots of miracles! A cool miracle was we met an innactive member earlier this week and we just had dinner with her tonight and gave her a blessing and she's coming to church this week! It was a miracle because we were tracting and happened to knock on her door she was so happy to see us and almost started crying! Just goes to show the lord truly guides us missionaries!  Our friend Christopher didn't end up getting baptized this weekend. Everything is OK though he is still going to get baptized just needs more time understanding things and we are having daily contacts with him to help him! He's just come so far from where he used to be and he's going to continue to grow because that's one of the blessings that comes from the atonement and something that can truly change us when we use it. Only the purest joys can come through sincere repentance! I just love Christopher let's all pray I don't...
