San Francisco Pday!

 Hey everyone! Sorry this is gonna be short, Elder and Sister Brunt (the VC directors) are taking the VC sisters to San Fran today for p day and we leave in like 10 minutes!! 

This week was really great, except we had a lot of lessons fall through cause of fall break:/ but we still saw so many miracles!!especially at the VC! This week I handed out BOMs in Pharsee, Tagolog, Fijian?, Arabic, and English of course! It's so cool. 

Tatiana, Ivin, and Caitlynn are doing well, all of them really love the Book of Mormon which is great, so right now we spend a lot of time just reading the scriptures with them🤗

Tatiana ran into some anti material this week which was sad because she was pretty confused:( the internet is so frustrating man. But we helped answer her questions and get back on her feet and she's still going forward!!

Oh bezerekly. It's a wild time here! But we're working hard to get members to like the missionaries and find people to teach. It's interesting being in an area where 90% of people are atheist....and suuuuper intellectual. But I'm like, you guys know so much, except the greatest thing ever!! Which is Jesus Christ!! 

Which actually brings me to an experience this week. Tuesday nights we go to institute cause we're over the Berkeley YSA ward as well as the family ward. At institute this last week, a discussion about the character of Christ. You'd think it would be fire!! But things quickly took a turn, in classic bezerekly style, and I don't think I've ever sat in a dedicated church building for so long where some of the most disrespectful things are being said about our Savior. 

Guys for the first time on my mission, I wanted to cry !!! Because I was so shooketh I didn't share my own testimony and who I know Christ to be so I'm gonna share it with you all now because I regret not sharing it then. :)

I KNOW CHRIST LIVES. He is so real. He came to this earth, with a REAL body of flesh and bone and HE DIED for all of us! He suffered every pain, every sorrow, every sin, every temptation, every heart break, and he did it for all of us, all of us individually. He already paid the price, simply because he loves us. And He knows us so personally. He loves us. So much. No matter what we may say about him, no matter how much we forget about him, no matter what we've done to push him away. He is just waiting for us to come to him, he is waiting to forgive us!! Let him into your life so that He can change it and let you feel more loved than you ever have in your life. And so much more. 

But now we're leaving so here's a bunch of ridonculous pics with no caption:) have a great week everybody hope everything is going well!

  Heyyy guys!  Still here in bezerekely just trudging, this week we finally found the great and spacious building! So many interesting things happen every single day  I've seen wayyy to many naked people, and heard wayyy to many gun shots. Oh and last night I got chased by a homeless man!  - my eyes are constantly   and now Halloween is already in full swing here on frat row so some prayers would be nice hahaha  But!! I've really gained a testimony of how much the temple is a refuge!! Hahaha but seriously, it's a relief to able to go to the temple and be at the VC and feel that spirit that is really hard to feel in Berkeley.  My favorite thing from this week was yesterday, we brought our friend ivin up to the temple to teach him about what happens inside! Ivin is on date, but because of some probation stuff, he originally had to wait. But because of some policy changes... he can get baptized asap now!! Ivin is a huge family guy, so when I showed h...

  Heyy! This week was wild, but a lot of fun! I just love doing this everyday more and more. Twas a bit of a melancholy week cause tuesday morning we got some really sad and sudden news. Sister Montgomery has to go home early to receive surgery for some complications that happened from her wisdom teeth a few years ago, and she leaves pretty early tomorrow morning so today is our last day together   not how we expected this transfer to end, we're all pretty sad cause we've gotten so close and we didn't expect to have to say goodbye so soon!! But I'm so grateful I got to meet her because she has been such an example to me and I look up to her so much!!! Which also means I have to drive now which also means I will have to parallel park which I FAILED on my driver's test and am only extremely nervous about.... hahahaha  The visitors center has been really really great!! Because its been so busy, we created this system for the vc to combat all the crowds and languages an...

Take me to Tonga

Hey heyy Oh my goodness!! What a week!! I think I've decided it's time for me to learn Tongan. Or Chinese. I've done a lot of interacting with both cultures this week maybe both!!  So, Tuesday morning we dropped off sister Montgomery at the airport, just me and sister Christopherson now. Idk if I've mentioned this before, but me and sister christopherson took over the social media page for the VC. So go check it out. Our skills are improving slowly but surely . We also were over a "sharing testimonies through music" event this week!! At the VC. So we've been crazy busy, but it's so fun!! So!! Have you ever seen the other side of heaven?? Well the real Elder Groberg came to our event!! What??? I was stressed. But it was really special because we asked him if he would share his testimony at the end of our event, and it was incredible. After he shared his testimony, some of the Tongan Elders got up and sang the First Noel and bore their testimonies as wel...
