Sis Alio and I at transfers (make up gone from bawling).
Sister Clayton and I at missionary leadership training (we go home together).
Working on the temple
Heyyyyyyy!
I
know everyone is so excited to hear about my knew companion! ( I think
after 17 months I've got the routine down. ha.) Sister Aloi is from
Samoa. She is 24 and she finishes her mission a transfer (six weeks)
after I do. I have been her sister training leader before and have gone
on many exchanges with her! On my way to transfer meeting I got a
feeling and I knew she was going to be my companion! We are having a lot
of fun here in Wellington!
Last p-day (Tues) I got to go do work in the temple in Fort Lauderdale. I hung individual crystals on a chandelier. We were there for 4 hours and
didn't even get close to finishing it. I will never look at that
chandelier or any other in any temple the same way again. There is such
great detail that goes into the Lords house. It was a great experience
for me! I felt the spirit and received a lot of peace. I also got to say
good bye to Sis Tuai because she worked the shift before me. It's weird
to think that she is at home now. That night was crazy busy because a
lot of the members wanted to say good bye to Sis Dougal so we were doing
a lot of running around p-day night. It turned out well though.
Transfer meeting was amazing. I was asked to say the opening
prayer. It was the last transfer meeting I will attend here in the
Florida Fort Lauderdale mission. It was a very emotional experience for
me. At the end of every transfer meeting we sing "We'll Bring the World His Truth". With tears of gratitude streaming down my face I was unable
to finish singing the song. My heart was full of so much love for the
missionaries here and the people that I have met. It was a very tender
transfer meeting for me.
We found a Haitian family of 7 that we have been teaching! They are great! I pray that they will continue to make the time to hear
and receive the lessons! We also went to Young Women in Excellence this week because Lovely got her integrity ribbon! We were so proud of her! It reminded me of my days in YW. I loved young
women's! I hope I get to serve with them someday! I also got to see an
otter this week-it was huge! It was on a river bank and as soon as it
saw us it slipped into the water. I was happy to receive the conference Ensign this week! I love studying from them and receiving additional
revelation from servants of the Lord!
It looks like Jared had a fun
birthday dinner/dessert! Every time I see a picture of Jordan it freaks me
out. He doesn't even look the same! He's changed the most since I have been gone! Thank you for the e-mails and updates! It's so nice to
hear from all of you! I hope that you are able to feel of my love and
the love that the Lord has for you as well! I'm excited for Brandon to
join the missionaries and to serve in Paris! It will bring great blessings for
their family! I hope that you all have a great week and I will talk to
you soon! I LOVE YOU!
