SUPER CRAZY🎉

Hello team!! First off I want to say I LOVE YOU!!! ALSO I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY OF JESUS CHRIST!!


There's this youth song we listen to and it says "what is this joy" and that line just gets stuck in my head because even though it can be so hard the joy is SO real and I LOVE IT!! But it seriously all comes from Jesus Christ!! 


This week I left my home and family in Tainan and came back home to TAIZHONG 台中, 太平！！！As soon as President told me I was going to Taiping I seriously felt a rush of happiness and I know its God's plan and I'm so excited to see all the miracles!!! I have been told though that Taiping is famous for being mean and being the headquarters of weird... haha but no worries we got to keep it interesting🩷 Oh another cool thing is that I'm ward sharing with my friend Elder Ayden Christensen! He's dying along with my companion Sister Lonergan so it will be a miracle filled transfer!!!


This week the lord taught me about families!! In Yongkang 永康 there was a family we would visit a lot because they love missionaries! They also have all recently joined the church and they came and visited us on saturday! Jesus Christ changed this families life and you can tell! 


I also got the chance to meet a family that just got baptized here in Taiping and they are so cool!!!! We went to their family home evening and played games and then they sang I am a child of God and the spirit was so strong and man families are seriously one of God's greatest gifts to us!! But most of all I know that the gospel changes lives and really does bless families. 


Speaking of families it is my eternal companion, best friend, pizza making buddy, 妹妹, and literally the person that made me who I am and look up to every day 's birthday this week!! So do me a favor and send @Calianne Skinner a birthday message!!! 


I love you alll!!!! Don't forget how much God loves you!!!

  Happy Tuesday morning!! ☀️☀️ it’s a lovely day so far:) Ok! So here’s an experience I have been feeling like I want to share with you all: Maybe a week ago? Ish? I was in the temple for to do initiatories. I can’t remember if I had an appointment or I was just walking in… I think I was just walking in.  The PCC temple has a really good system for helping people who walk in w/out an appointment be able to do initiatories. However after they got my name and all that jazz they asked me to sit in the front area where the desk is instead of in the back near the booths bc the benches back there were full. This was sorta upsetting to me, I had gone that day really hoping to be able to feel the spirit. But being up there near the desk meant I had to try and tune out all the happenings and chatting there. Recently I’ve discovered that when I’m anxious I can get pretty sound sensitive. So if there’s any noise going on it can completely overwhelm me with anxious thoughts.  I start...
