GUESS WHAT EVERYONE!! I'm getting transferred! Really sad to leave all our friends we're teaching, my comps, the ward, and my besties that work at Walmart (lol) but I am STOKED for this new area! I'll be over a Polynesian ward and another one in North Las Vegas and I've heard it's THE BEST. They are known for feeding the missionaries A LOT so wish me luck haha.

This week was SO good. SO many miracles and SO many laughs. I just feel overwhelmed with joy and so grateful to be a missionary. This is the best.

Yesterday, we got out of a lesson and decided to walk around the neighborhood. I felt prompted to knock on this door so we went up and a sweet old Hispanic lady opened the door. She was so happy to see us and welcomed us in right away. We sat down on her couch and got to know her a bit. She shared with us how her husband had recently passed away and started to cry. I'm so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation. We were able to share a little of it with her and bring her some comfort. It was amazing. And then we asked if we can help her with anything and she needed her fernace filters changed so we went to work and it was so fun!

After that, we went to the neighborhood next door and I felt like we should knock on another door. These 2 cute little girls answered. A few seconds later, their mom who looked pretty worldly, came to the door. Again, they welcomed us in and we had a lesson about the Plan of Salvation.

This family has been through a lot. A year ago, their house caught on fire and her 3 year old son and husband weren't able to get out and ended up dying. Sitting there as she was telling us this story was devastating. She was crying and I was getting tiery eyed. She continued to tell us how right before we came to the door, she was sitting on her phone looking for a movie trailer she saw a while back about God, trying to find something to bring her hope and peace. Right at that moment, she got a knock on her door and it was us! She said she knew God sent us.

It was incredible to see how God directed us to those two homes. He knew what they were going through and we were able to be instruments in his hands. The Lord really is guiding this work. His timing is perfect and we need to put our trust in Him, our whole heart, might, mind, and strength. He knows what your going through. When we do rely on Him, we will receive the strength that is available from the Atonement of Jesus Christ. "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 

Love you!

Fun fact: our district has been doing random challenges and it is so fun!

1. #coonchallenge- They found out that sometimes I brush my teeth laying on my bed (because why not?) So they started the #coonchallenge where all the companions in my district send a video of them trying to brush their teeth laying down. So funny.

2. #gunnellchallenge- Elder Gunnell, our district leader, has caught about 5 pigeons within the last few weeks and then will let them go. So we've been trying to catch a pigeon when we're walking around and no one is outside. It has brought some good entertainment haha. I haven't had any luck yet so pray that I'll can catch one
