Saying "goodbye" to my awesome companions!
Wowza another amazing week as a missionary in the Arizona Tempe Mission! I had to sadly say goodbye to Yuma and my amazing companions. I would've stayed there if it weren't so far away from the mission home. BUT now I am in Chandler in the Pleasant 3rd Ward, and I love it here already so much! I do miss Yuma a lot. I learned so much there about my testimony and my Savior. I am grateful for the life long friends I made there, including my wonderful companions: Sister Martin and Sister Hartley. They are the BEST!
Chandler is fun! It's a lot of big houses, and a lot of people live around here. So I am in a trio again for the 10 days I am here, Sister Risk who was originally assigned to Australia Mandarin speaking! She is super awesome and outgoing! My other companion is Sister Curry and this is her original mission. She is more on the quiet side, but is also super fun and amazing! But here's some craziness that happened with our trio... Sister Risk got exposed to covid, so she was in her area up until this last Saturday night, when transfers are usually on Wednesday. She had to wait until she got her negative covid test result, and then she got it. Then she started showing symptoms so she had to get another negative test result... she FINALLY got that and then made it here! And right in time for the best miracle...
A BAPTISM! I only met them a couple days ago, but April and her 2 sons, Xzavier and Ethan, all got baptized on Sunday! It was so awesome, and I loved being able to participate. I got here right when we needed to plan the whole thing, so that's what I spent most of my time here in this area doing so far! But they were so happy to make that covenant with our Savior and Father in Heaven. It was an amazing miracle. And Sister Risk got here right in time!!
Another miracle that happened this week was at the baptism, another one of April's sons who hasn't ever been interested in learning more from the missionaries, came up to us telling us he was interested!! So we got his phone number and we are going to start teaching him! Yay!!
One of my favorite scriptures from this week is Mosiah 16:9 - "He is the light and the life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened." Look for Christ as that light in your life. He is there!! ☆
