Maayong aga everyone!

[Halfway point: October 24, 2018]

Yes I'm officially halfway through my mission:

[MANGO FLOAT FOR MY 9 MONTHS]

Sorry but this'll be just a quick update!

Trio update:

BEST COMPANIONSHIP EVER. I love Sister Quinton and Sister Salan! I feel like we are all different but all complete each other (opa, haha)! We work hard and we help each other out and I just love them so much. We are obedient and sensitive to each others needs. We also have been doing better teaching wise because it's kind of awkward as it is to teach with one companion, but teaching with 2 other people is just interesting. But we've been doing great! Also we have a lot of fun together. We laugh alot, haha!

Investigator update:

So we visited one of our investigators on Monday in the evening time and we decided now that she knows Joseph Smith is a true prophet, we decided to teach one of the commandments he restored... the Word of Wisdom. dun dun dun! Joke lang but we thought she might have a problem with it but it turns out that she doesn't AT ALL. This is the first time I've met someone like this and I'm sort of shocked but also it's such a blessing to have met her. Her faith has truly grown and I know as we testify to her she feels edified because she opens her heart to what we're saying. Just like it says in D&C 50: 21-22 -

21 Therefore, why is it that ye cannot understand and know, that he that receiveth the word by the Spirit of truth receiveth it as it is preached by the Spirit of truth?

22 Wherefore, he that preacheth and he that receiveth, understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together.

I love those verses because that's how I feel when we teach her 😊

Also we have another investigator who has been waiting to be baptized since August but a lot of things came up and she hasn't been able to be baptized yet... BUT things have been going great with her and she's scheduled to be baptized on Saturday! Next week I'll write more in depth about her conversion story 😊
