"Today's the Day to Save Souls"


Dear everyone,

I hope you are all doing well! This week Sister Brothers and I tried so many times to visit people, but they were never home. It was kind of frustrating, but that's okay! This week will be better I hope! This week we got a referral from the Elders and have a new investigator. Her name is Donna and Sister Brothers and I feel like she is looking for a church. She goes to like 3 in Gisborne (they all have free food haha). I'm really excited to get to know her better. 

This week during study time I've really been focusing on reading my Book of Mormon. Before my mission I only read it one time and that was so I could finish Young Womens. But as I've read it now I've noticed how it really does answer questions of the soul. Every day I learn something that will help me during that day. If you haven't been reading the BoM, I challenge you to start reading it. 

Thank you all for the support! It's not easy being so far away, but It's worth it. On our door there is a sign that says "Today's the day to save souls". I love looking at it before we leave the house because it reminds me what I'm here to do. I'm here to invite others to come unto Christ so they can know the happiness that I have! I love this gospel and what it can bring to our lives if we are obedient. I love you all so much and I have put my address at the bottom! 

Love you all!!

    Kia Ora All,
    Randomly just thought I'd post a video of a Young Womens Activity tonight at the Mangapapa Ward. Sister Grant and Sister Brothers were both there and had a ton of fun. It was awesome to have them there. She's diving into the work (as you can see) and enjoying herself in Gisborne. You can trust that the Lord is looking after her while she is in His service :)

I'm Out in the Field!

Sister Brothers and Sister Grant (they are in a driving area) Hi everyone!  How are you?  I'm sorry I forgot to tell you when I was leaving the MTC. I left  on Wednesday  morning after everyone else had left so my heart was pretty numb at that point from saying goodbyes! I cried so much when I had to say goodbye to my district. It was really hard, and sometimes still is.  All the Wellington missionaries (Elder Smedly, Elder Harrigfeld, Elder Bishoff, Elder Tonumipea, and Sister Ontiveros) left  Tuesday  morning at  6:30 . So I had to say goodbye to them that night and it was so hard. Then Sister Olive and Elder Biranipwepwe left for Sydney  Wednesday  morning at like 4 so that was so hard. And then Elder Holt was supposed to leave at 7 but didnt end up leaving until like  7:30  so I got to say goodbye to him and that was so hard!  On Wednesday  morning I left the MTC and headed to Hamilton. I had to drive on a bus for 7 hours from Hamilton to get here.  I am serving in the

So Many Changes!!!

Kia Ora!  This week was transfers week. On Tuesday we had to wait ALL DAY LONG for the call but we finally got it at  10:30 ! I am staying in Gizzy and my new comp is sister Baylosis. She is from the Philippines. She is so cute! Sister Brothers went to Tauranga (so I'll see her at zone conference yaa!) Our whole zone changed though! Everyone changed comps! Elder Ellsworth is now zone leader with an elder from Australia named Elder Alovili. Elder Benson is getting follow up trained by Elder Ete from Australia. Sister Mavae is training a sister from Australia! Our district has been taken over by Australians!  I've been working  to introduce her to everyone but its been hard meeting with people. I'm now a District leader. I don't think I like it. All the changes have been so hard and stressful. SO MANY CHANGES!!! What hasn't changed is the work lately. So,  I don't want to talk about our investigators this week because they are never ever home when we try to

Welcome to the West Side!

Hello everyone!  This week was transfers! So I am now serving in the Hawera Branch in Taranaki. I went from one side of the island to the other!  I had to ride a bus about 6 hours to Hamilton and then I went like 4 hours to New Plymouth and then we had to drive like 45 minutes to Hawera. M y comp is Sister Schrere (she's from Scranton, PA!!) She is really sweet! She goes home in April. My area is huge! It covers from Normanby down to Waverly (the bottom of the Hamilton mission). So its really different from Gizzy! But its good. And, we don't do any singing. Yesterday, because it was Testimony Meeting, a little boy got up (he's American and I love their family). He gets up and says, "Today I'm going to talk about looking for the good things in life." Then he goes on to say when he grows up he wants to be a miner and he says, "And one day I was just thinking about mining and I thought 'you just gotta mine for the good things in life'".
