Week 76

Kia Ora Whanau.... Sike I'm still here!  This week has been the most dramatic week of my mission and it happened all from inside my flat. So last Monday morning I got a call from the office telling me that I would be going home in about two days and then I sent my super dramatic last email. I received some really heartfelt responses that really lifted my spirits so thank you all so much.  Monday night I received a call from President Soloai. I assumed that it was going to be about me going home but then next minute he tells me that I need to be in Palmerston North by  12:30pm  the next day to pick up another trainee! They evacuated the MTC and our mission took in 7 missionaries. I was like what the heck! Am I going home or am I training?  Anyways, the next day I had so much anxiety because Monday was such an emotional roller coaster. The zone leaders dropped by in the morning to drop off an extra bed and I just felt really prompted to get a blessing and it spoke...

Kia Ora Whanau Being a non samoan speaking missionary in a samaon ward is interesting. Your success as a missionary is measured in a totally different way. It's no longer measured by how well you teach or how well you invite people or the fruits that you see, its measured in your diligence in being obedient and focused even though you are participating as obviously in conversations and lessons.

Kia Ora everyone! First things first, today is my Mom's BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA I LOVE YOU!!! I have been here for 2 weeks and doing great. Not playing rugby in highschool has really put me at a disadvantage during outdoor physical activity because everyone plays it. On Saturday I decided to try it out and it was super fun but then right at the end I twitsed my ankle and it got pretty swollen lol. Sister Howes was super worried but I'm all good, it wasn't serious. This is my last email from the MTC! I leave for Wellingtion on Tuesday at 6:00 am. I'm sooo excited to get out to the field. The MTC is great but I am ready to leave. This week it was good, my lessons were all good but Sister Kipp complained about everything and it was so annoying and I let her attitude affect mine. I am trying hard to not let other people's attitude and work ethic affect mine but it's hard.  This week I learned how to recognize and follow the promptings of the spiri...
