November 16, 2020: dUnKiN' dOnUtS

 This week has been ABSOLUTELY CRAZY 250%!!

To sum half of the week up, We were quarantined, then free from quarantine, then isolated for a day, then quarantined for half a day, then back to regular life, and now we are half in quarantine/half not in q-time... You confused? US TOO!!

Service this week included hiding 17 cats from a landlord. The woman was so proud of hiding ALL of her cats IN front of the Landlord during his inspection. I will never forget the moment when she asked me to scrub cat pee from the baseboards of her apartment. #bestmomentyet 

[Ronee] was baptized this week! I love her SO much! I have seen her change in every way possible and it's pretty amazing. She was 250% ready for her baptism and I know this because she was glowing with Joy and Peace. It was the first baptism for both Elder Gailey and I. Ronee is definitely a character! 

The Draytons, [Matthew, Nadine, Trinity] are SO excited for their baptism this Saturday! They are counting down the days... LITERALLY! We are best friends with Nadine and she makes us BOMB food for dinner. Due to church and in person missionary work being cancelled for 3 weeks, we can't see her in person for more than 15 minutes at a time. So we teach them every day on the phone. YAY!

I put [Lia], my first person on date to be baptized this week!!! On the first lesson too!! Me and Sister Wilhite entered the phone lesson thinking she wasn't going to be that interested... WE WERE SO WRONG. Sister Wilhite taught the lesson and ended it with an invite to continue meeting with us to learn more. I got a little frustrated because I was feeling SO prompted to ask her the BIG question but they said bye and hung up. I got all emotional and told Sis. Wilhite we needed to call her back and BOOM I asked her to be baptized on Dec. 19th! HEX YA.

Our bishop is most definitely a Alaskan bishop, he follows the Spirit and does what he does. Sometimes, we all question it but roll with it. 

S/O to Niigan for sending me the SWEETEST package!!! Love &miss you bestie 

[3 Nephi 13:32-34] Heavenly Father Knows all things! He knows what we need to live, survive, and become the people he needs us to be. Seek righteousness first, THEN God will bless you with everything else you need. As you strive, you will have enough:)

Corona stinks big time But #cantcomplain! I love representing Jesus Christ 24/7. 

Look for every opportunity, and take every opportunity that God gives ya! 

Have a good evening and a better tomorrow,
