MIDNIGHT MEMORIES (week 3)

 Hey hey people! I just had another great week here in Seattle. Being in the city is nice because there's so many people to teach and we're finding and talking to people left and right. The work is going well and I'm loving it here. 


First off the title of this email has a funny story to go with it. Last night I was sleeping and I heard my companion in the kitchen, so I thought I had somehow missed the alarm. I got up and thought it was morning... only to find out it was 12:30 at night and my comp just couldn't sleep so she was awake getting some milk haha. She saw me on my knees saying my morning prayer and was literally so confused. When my prayer ended and she was just starring at me and I'm still half asleep so I was just so confused. And then I was like "wait what time is it" and she goes "sister it's literally the middle of the night what are you doing" and it was sooo funny we couldn't stop laughing. Then we both couldn't fall back asleep because our apartment is so hot right now and we don't have AC so we just sat and talked right in front of the fan for awhile. Great memory hahah
Another highlight that deserves it's own paragraph is that we went to the temple with our friend Kito this week!!!! He is the one who was baptized my first day in the mission field. He has been so excited to be in the temple and being with him for his first time there was a really special moment for me. He said he felt like a "fat kid in a candy shop" because of the amount of joy he felt. The spirit in the baptistry was so strong and his eyes kept watering as we just sat and watched people be baptized for the dead. That time in the temple was the 5th time I have attended the temple on my mission... and I have only been out for just over a month. Not many missionaries can say that and I am SO grateful that I've been able to be in the temple so much. Happiest place on earth for real. Sorry disneyland hahaha. I LOVE THE TEMPLE

  You're gonna wanna read this email😭 This was probably the best week of my mission. And this next week is gonna be even better.  Sooo the sisters that were here before us taught these amazing people... justin and kachie. Justin got baptized in july and his wife Kachie got baptized in september. They have the cutest 3 girls, Gabriella, Eula, and Taima. They are ages 9, 12, & 13. They remind me of me and my sisters and i love them. We started teaching them recently and this last week we had an amazing lesson about baptism with them. What it is, why we do it, and the covenants we make. That day we put their youngest daughter, Taima on-date to be baptized. The spirit was so strong. When I tell you I cried, I actually did. Tears of joy holy I am SO excited. She wanted to be baptized THIS FRIDAY THE 24TH. AHH 😆so we've been busy planning a baptism for this week and finishing teaching her the lessons and i don't even know what i'm doing and im stressed but i'm just ...

Hey hey everyone welcome back!! This week was our mission tour with a member of the 70. Elder McConkie came and spoke to us and it was amazinggg!! I'm so grateful for Him and the direction he gave to our mission! Buttt the subject line... on Wednesday we had a meeting with him and in the middle of his talk the fire alarm went off. THENNN church was about to start on Sunday and the fire alarm went off there too. We all just had to go stand outside for like 20 minutes!! No fires don't worry, not sure why it went off but it was crazy. That's never happened to me at a church before and then it went off twice in one week at 2 different buildings! 🔥 the spirit must've been so strong this week lol !!!
