The One Where the Mom Life is Killing Me

-

 Hey ya'll! It was a great week in Foothills with Sister Hanes! I was kinda freaking out this week, because I have no idea how to be a missionary, but its all good, because as I told Sister Hanes, e are learning together! That probably made her feel good lol. Let's get into it.....

Some happy things and what I learned from them:
• I am very grateful for the friends we are teaching right now. They are just amazing and very inspiring. Khan is on date for baptism for the 23rd and we had an awesome lesson about the plan of salvation. He was just in awe. He was so happy to know that people who had died before they could know Christ are able to be saved. And then we cleared up whether or not he was still wanting to be baptized and he said "Yes! Lets move forward with that!" He's the coolest. So we are just so excited.
• Ty is doing well and starting to develop a faith in Christ. What she said was this, "What is so bad about believing in Christ?" Lollll seriously, it is just the best, most rewarding, most peaceful ting on the planet. She is doing well.
• Sister Hanes is my new companion! She has been here for 4 days now and I feel like I have only been here for 4 days. She is on the older side of most missionaries, so honestly I feel like I am being trained tehe. It's been fun to help her to get to know our friends and members. She is just so lucky that she gets to start her mission in the best ward ever!!
• I got to talk to Sister Gariety on the phone on Monday night at our FHE. One of the members called her and had me talk to her!! Ahhhh I miss her so much. I love you so much Sister Garietttttt (in goggle kid voice)

Some hard things and what I learned from them:
• Training a new missionary is so hard. I feel like I am roller skating on a barrel, on ice, with glass plates in my hands, and I am blind. Like literally balancing all the things by myself and trying to keep myself sane and help Sister Hanes to feel loved ad supported and our friends. It's just a lot. She is still working on getting over anxiety of talking to everyone we see, but she is doing so good. Like a lot better than I was when I came in. Sorry Sister Seibold (my trainer) if I was the worst trainee ever!! Just keep praying for me and Sister Hanes. It's going good though!! I am being stretched and growing a lot.
• I feel like I am such a bad trainer. I feel like I am just failing her all the time. It feels like I am a mother and I just don't want to mess up my child. So I am trying to check on her all the time. I just don't really know. I am trying lolll.

Some funny things that made me laugh:
• Can I just say that we have the funniest, most awkward, most best ward ever. A recent convert, Darren, gave a talk on Sunday. He went on for about 30 minutes about how much he loves the golden knights (the hockey team in Vegas), how great he is at puzzles, and how he is looking for an eternal companion. Great. lol. I was just grinning so big and trying not to giggle the entire time.
• I got to hold a giant crab and visit the recent convert that breeds tilapia fish for money! It was epic. And the crab peed on me. It actually gave me flash backs to when I was pinched by a humongous crab in Hawaii (my fam will remember!)
• I drew out the plan of salvation on a chalkboard for Khan's lesson. I kinda felt like a teacher the entire lesson lol. But at the end he asked if he could take a picture of it because it was so good and it spelled out love lolll. Thank for flattering me Khan.
• I have been getting too many check your speeds for driving and I got a text to slow down from my vehicle coordinator. Ooops. Repenting...

Drum roll please🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 Sister Rose time!!
I am just so grateful for the gospel. I took it for granted so so much when I was growing up. I have never had to question where I was going to be after I die. I never had to question what the purpose of my life was. I never had to question if I was loved by God. I never had to feel like I wasn't good enough, because of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. I am just so grateful for the gospel! I want to invite you to look at your life and analyze what you know and have because of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I can promise that as you do this, you will feel more gratitude for your Savior and will be able to have the spirit confirm to you that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the restored gospel and only true gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth.

I love ya'll!
Sister Rose

Hey yall!! Its been a good past couple weeks!! We are just workin hard and loving every second! Its been a good time. Let's get into it..... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend went from nervous to excited when she learned of her new best friend: the Holy Ghost! You don't realize, or maybe you just take for granted the incredible gift you have until a child opens your eyes. "Why are you so excited to be baptized Maite?" She replies: "Because then I won't be alone anymore." #precious • Our friend Alejandra is literally so precious! She is so ready to be baptized!! She's getting baptized this Saturday!! Yay!

  Hey yall! Another great work in Kingman. Sometimes I feel like I am not in America and this was one of those weeks. I love it! Let's get into it.... Some happy things and what I learned from them: • Our friend Linda is just THE best ever. She is so short, the top of her head literally comes to the bottom of my ribs. But she is just like our little grandma. I love her. Guess what!?! Her baptism day is upon us! Long awaited, but it is this Saturday and she is so so so excited!! She told us yesterday that she just feels so ready! She feels like she has done the work(which she for sure has) and she feels ready to make this covenant with God. That is what the Atonement of Jesus Christ does for you people!! It brings you confidence. Confidence in the Lord and confidence in your abilities through Jesus Christ!! • We had a lesson with a returning member and his fiancé, Shi. Shi said that she wants to learn more about baptism and work towards it!! Such a miracle! They have gone through a ...
