January 18, 2021: Hay hAy HAY

 Hay there!

Me and Sister Staheli moved 50+ cubes of hay into Judy's goat barn this week! It was so fun!! 

We are teaching two new friends one is named Rick & one is named Bobbi. So yeah basically I'm teaching Rick & Bobbi haha! Shake n' Bake!

Sister Wilhites 21st birthday was this week and I made her have the BEST birthday ever! Photoshoots, waffle breakfasts, sunrise studies, manicures... etc! Last week, I made sure to tell everyone we saw that it was her birthday and HOLY GUACAMOLE. We literally got cake at least twice, Every. Single. Day.  This. Week. I've never had so many sugar crashes in my life! One of the members who invited us over wanted to give us a full makeover and I've never felt so painted before. While she did my makeup, she shaved off HALF of my left eyebrow. LOVE THAT... oh well it will grow back:)

I drove us to Anchorage for an appointment and while we were at the Doc's office, FOUR!! JUSTIN!! BIEBER!! SONGS!! Came on!!!! #tendermercy #tears

On Sunday night, we visited with 4 families in our ward who we have never seen before within our 4+ months of being here. What we have noticed with all of these families is that they need friends! Someone to talk to! The answer? Simply love others. Love one another. 

Jesus Christ beautifies us through our challenges. 

I taught a ballet class for a couple of little girls this week! I told them of what I like to do and the girls jumped for joy as they exclaimed, "I've never known a missionary-dinosaur-ballerina before!" 

My favorite-Sister Wilhite is getting transferred to Anchorage this week:,( 

Be a LIGHT,

Choose JOY,

Love BIG,

Sister Rex

P.S. Reflect and think/talk about what brought you joy this week.
