Week 13?: We have a pineapple coming our way

 Helllooooo everyboddayyy

Update for this week:
So regarding the subject line: a pineapple is a river in the sky, so basically we're gonna get rained on A TON for a long time πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚ (I'm low-key kind of excited, it's gonna be so much fun πŸ˜)

We also had exchanges this week so I got to be on an island, which was so fun :) we met a lady who converted to Judaism and talked about our temples and sealings and stuff and that was SO cool!

Sister Manning and Sister Briggs both turned 20 this week!!! πŸ₯³ we had a mini party for each of them, I woke up early both days to blow up balloons and stuff (I set my alarm to vibrate and put it on my bed for Sister Manning's birthday so she wouldn't wake up XD) it was very fun :)

ALSO my Ward Mission Leader's wife is one of the people who was in charge of helping to organize/plan the LLC (on campus housing at USU) and she voted to have the thermostats in each room! I was super excited about that cuz having a thermostat was nice, ngl.

Scripture of the week:
Alma 29:9
"I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy."

I just relate to that :)

Quotes this week:
•"427 times. The amount of time Sister Manning and Sister Briggs said they were old" -Sister Briggs upon hearing that I had no quotes for my email XD

Fun Fact:
If you have a fridge in Antarctica it keeps your food warm


***pineapple express (not a plain pineapple) πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Blowing up balloons at 6am for Sister Manning XD

 Happy Birthday :)

Happy Easter :)) Update for this week: A lot of fun stuff happened this week! On Wednesday we were at the church waiting for Teresa and her family because we had a lesson set up, but they ended up being late... so one of the counselors in the Bishopric recruited us to talk to the 14-15 yo boys about missionary work   it was awesome, and they had really good questions! Missionary work is a good time :) On Thursday, we took a member of the Samoan ward tracting with us because she's in the MTC! It was super fun, and she gave us a ton of tips for finding Polynesian people  Friday was Zone Conference and it was AMAZING. I learned a lot, especially from the discussion we had about General Conference. I LOVE Elder Uchtdorf's talk, President Nelson's talk, Elder Eyring's talk, and Elder KlebingΓΆt's talk. It was super amazing because it helped me learn how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. What's something you all learned from General Conference? I also had to bea...

Finn Hill is awesome and also odd XD Update for this week: Holy cow I LOVE my new companions!!!! They are both so cool and such good missionaries :) Sister Misi is an AMAZING teacher and so good at asking questions and also very artistic. Sister Beckstead is such a good example and is just so sweet and I'm sad she's gonna leave to her original assignment on the 21st because this trio life is just the best ever :( but she will do amazing things in Brazil too! This week we've been SUPER busy, I've been getting to know members and learning names and stuff, and we've had some lessons, tried to find people to teach, and also met a member who has a sword collection, and also antique/replica firearms, and bows and arrows (longbow and a recurve, none of them modern). I held one of his swords  Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 2:28 "And now... I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and cho...
