How is everyone!?! How is fall in UTAH.
I had an awesome week!!! I love my new companion. She is seriously the nicest person I have ever met. She totally lets me be me and so that makes me SO happy. (You know how with certain people you feel like you can't totally be yourself?) Well Sister Wilkes is awesome and I can be myself around her. I love it. We are teaching lots of people and having a great time.
1st of allllll. Today is P day. And guess who I saw while in the city. (You will never believe me)
ALTA'S DANCE COMPANY!!!!!! Like what!?! Did that really just happen??? IT DID. I loved it sooooo so so much I can't even explain. That was for sure the highlight of my week. My companion and I were just standing in Columbus Circle and all of the sudden I see all these beautiful girls that look super familiar. And then boom. I'm surrounded by my lovely dance sistas. (I kinda felt like a famous person) HAHA. I am SO grateful that I got to be a part of that team in high school. I owe a lot of who I am to that team. Alta's dance company is so awesome. Traci and Diana know what's up. I'm still sitting here like wait am I dreaming? Am I really on a mission in New York? Did I really just see my old dance girls in NYC!?! I'm SO GRATEFUL for where I am in life right now. I feel so so so blessed. #dreaming
Monday night we carved pumpkins for FHE and that was soooo fun. Me and another sister in my zone are obsessed with pumpkin.
Pumpkin everything. I LOVE pumpkin. I carved a cat in my pumpkin and it is so cute. I also decorated our apartment with the Halloween decorations that momma Kendra sent me :)
yay Halloween!!
OH we FINALLY got our car back!!!! SO HAPPY. Cars are good.
So updates on some people..
Rick and Maria are progressing. Slowly. Which is FINE!! Progress is
progress. They are super serious about this which I LOVE. They are
going to be amazing members. Rick and Maria are great.
Christian!
He is 9 years old! I don't think I have talked about him much.. but he is one of our investigators and he is getting baptized on October
25th. He's so cute. I really enjoy teaching him. His mom is a less
active. And we reallllly want his mom to start coming to church more.
Tia-
She is amazing. She will be baptized soon I can feel it. She feels the spirit so strong. I just don't think she realizes that she is feeling the spirit.
I would share something about everyone we are teaching but I don't
feel like typing it. If only you could just get inside my head for a
second. I have so much to share but I'm not quite sure how to get it
all out :)
Thoughts-
Growing up I never liked service. Straight up honest. I hated doingit. And I never understood why people would say things like you're the happiest when you serve others. But guess what...
I NOW understand. And I LOVE serving others. It just feels good. No other feeling but pure goodness. I love service. I can't believe the happiness that comes from serving others. I find myself asking everyone what I can do to help serve them and I'm like WOAH who am I. Haha.missions are magic. I cannot imagine what my life would be like without this experience.
Something I've been thinking about THIS week-
house. Your clothes. Your car. Your job. Your calling. Your money.
Take away EVERYTHING. And what is left? Who is it. WHO is there. Are you kind? Giving? Faithful? Honest? Humble? Patient? Loving Charitable? Trustworthy? Comfortable? Confident? Etc. This is
something I have been asking myself as I've been studying the
Christlike attributes. I want to be just like Christ!!! I am SO
grateful to have Christ as my example. Yes there are other people I
want to be like (Selena Gomez, Tay swift, etc etc) haha. But Jesus Christ is WHO I want to be like. I love him and I am so grateful for what he has done for ALL of us. He is the perfect example. This church IS TRUE.
I love you ALL. I promise if you just keep choosing the right and keep following Christ's example, EVERYTHING will be okay in the end. I'm so happy. Okay? Happy happy.
Love,
Abba
