Hello friends!!! Quick little update:
☆ I got transferred to North Las Vegas and have been loving meeting so many new incredible people! It was sad to leave the area and people I love so much but I'm happy to give everything I've got to this new area!
☆ I'M IN A SAMOAN WARD! IT'S SO FUN! The entire sacrament meeting is in Samoan and I just sit there not having a clue what they're saying. It's awesome.
☆ We found out last night that our Palangi ward (as the Samoans call white people) is getting dissolved so that's a RIP. We have no idea what our area is now or what will happen to our friends so keep them in your prayers!
☆ There's a lady in our Samoan ward named Mama Tolu and she is the cutest. She made us FISH HEADS this week for dinner. Needless to say, it was very interesting. She also gave me a cucuey nut necklace to wear every week to church. She is the sweetest!!
☆ We put our friend Stephanie on date! She is a cute 10 year old girl from Africa. It was seriously a miracle because she hasn't taken any of the missionary lessons but her dad is a member. We had stopped by their house one day this week and the dad let us in. We talked to him about his experience getting baptized and then I turned over to her and asked her if she would be interested in doing that and she said yes!! We read 2 Nephi 31 with her and it was amazing. We were so happy she has decided to follow Christ's example by being baptized! So keep cute Stephanie in your prayers too so she'll be able to make her date, July 15th!!
There's a little summary of our week! So many more amazing things happened. The Lord is good! I feel so happy!
Here's a quick verse that I love from my scripture study this morning. Alma 20:4 "...I know, in the strength of the Lord thou canst do all things..." Don't forget it;)
