My companions in Chandler for the past two weeks
My last week in America... that sounds crazy doesn't it? But it is true. I am leaving in 3 days (Feb. 11th) to BRAZIL! But holy cow I have learned so much while being here in Arizona. I have learned that my Savior Jesus Christ is my best friend, and that when people know that Jesus Christ is their best friend, it is eternal happiness. But here are some highlights from the week:
Sometimes bathroom selfies at the church are the only way to get a picture!
Service Exercise Day with these fun ladies!
This area us definitely a little slower now since the Lugos go baptized, so we were thinking of some things we could do, especially during our modified quarantine. So, we made cookies from scratch! 😋🍪They didn't end up the greatest... but we still delivered them haha. We didnt know who exactly to give them to though. We thought about our bishop, the family that just got baptized, and a less active that lived closed to them. And then we had one more thing of cookies left, and we thought of this random family (the Knauers) to give it to. So we went and doorbell ditched the cookies. And the next day, Sister Knauers gave us a call and told us that yesterday she was really sad, because her dad had passed away the week before... which we didnt even know!! She went on to say that throughout the day, she was craving chocolate chip cookies, but didnt have anything to make the cookies. So she just prayed that somehow, she would be able to get some cookies... WAHBANG she got the cookies!! That right there, is a testimony of following the spirit, now matter how simple or easy it may seem. ALWAYS. FOLLOW. THE. SPIRIT.
I also went on exchanges with beautiful Sister Packer this last week. We had to wear masks the whole day, so that made it a little difficult haha. But it was so much fun. We spent 6 hours outside, and it was a blast! We actually met a lot of fun people. At one point, we were at a park doing some language study and this little 10 year old girl came up to us and started talking with us saying how she's a member as well. She told us that she wanted to serve a mission, and then ran away haha. It was adorable. We also were walking back from a lesson in an apartment complex, and this guy stopped us asking who we are. We told him that we are missionaries, and then he asked if he could come to church with us! We said DUH of course. I don't know if he ever did end up going, but he was super down to go. It was a super cool day! We also ate some yummy acai!
Honestly, the time I've spent here in Arizona for the past 9 months have been amazing. I love it here and might even move here one day because its warm 24/7 haha. I am sad to say goodbye to all my friends and my mission president and his wife, but I'm pumped for my new adventure I will have in BRAZIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷 thank you for all the prayers!! Next week, I'll start adding some more portugues to these!!
