It feels SO good to be writing these again!!!! Here are just a few updates!
I'm serving the in Florida Tampa mission, I am in a trio and my comps are just the best, I am serving in an area called Ocala and I am a Spanish speaking sister!! I have been here since Wednesday (the 17th) and I have just absolutely loved it!
I won't do a highlight reel of everyday because a lot of the days we just sit inside and that could get prettyyyyyy repetitive so I just wanna share some highlights from this week!
Okay so like I said I flew in last Wednesday and the moment I knew I was in the right place was when 1. When I got to my gate and there was 7 OTHER MISSIONARIES there hahaha! If you know what happened when I first left, you'll know how relieving it was to fly with other people!! 2. We got Chick fil a in the Dallas airport during our layover and 3. When we got Chick fil a AGAIN with President and Sister Hollingsworth at the Tampa airport haha!
I was the only sister who flew in and so I got to ride with President and his wife haha! The first night I stayed with the YSA sisters, Sisters Hyde and Wilson. They are the media specialists so it was way fun to get to know them!!
On Thursday we got to have a little meeting with all the reassigned missionaries that I flew in with and we met our comps!! Im in a trio with Hermana Molver and Hermana Marler!
Okay some funny highlights!!
We like to take bike rides at night sometimes and on Friday night when we were leaving we noticed a snake right outside our door! We watched it for awhile and it went by our neighbors front door and just went back and forth for a bit...then somehow crawled THROUGH the TINY GAP on the bottom of the door (the door was locked, no one was home)! Okay yeah WHAT! So we wrote what happened on a sticky note after knocking a few times on the door with no answer haha! FUNNIEST sticky note I've ever written. ANYWAYS the next day we got a knock on our door and it was our neighbor! He had read our note and because we left our apt number on it he came over! We talked for a bit and ended up explaining that we were missionaries and he's interested in learning more! HAHA WHAT! We'll see what happens but we had a good laugh.
We have been teaching through videochats! It's been different but fun! We have also been teaching in english too so its been way nice! On Sunday we were able to go to the church and have the elders give the sisters the sacrament! It was WAY cool to have the sacrament in the church building again! It was only about 10 of us but it was so special!! The members here are UNREAL! They have brought us groceries. From fruit, cereal, granola and milk (lots and lots of milk) to Chinese takeout and pizza! We are taken care of!!! We are so so grateful!!!
My thought for the day is this :)
"We are going to be OK; the Lord will protect us." Elder Alvarado
Nephi talks about how this gospel is plain and simple. Something I love and appreciate about quotes like these are just how plain and simple they are. Guys!! We are going to be OK! Not only OK, but just think of who we have protecting us, our Father in Heaven who is God and our brother Jesus Christ!! What hope that promise brings!!!
My challenge for the week is this :)
As missionaries we have been putting focus in Facebook and sharing the gospel through it! This week i challenge all of you to either SHARE a gospel or spiritual message on Facebook or type one up yourself.
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY AND I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!! Thank you a million times over for your support and prayers!!
Hermana King :))
