Well everyone, this week we got the news that I'm being transferred to the one place I always said I didn't want to go....RIVERTON WYOMING! yeehaw. God definitely has a sense of humor! But in all seriousness, I am super excited to start a new and wonderful adventure in Wyoming! I know it's where the Lord wants me to be. I'm gonna be finishing up training a cute Sister from Idaho! It will be a blast. I just keep telling myself that haha. Another funny thing--because of Covid cases rising we aren't having a transfer bus...so I will be driving the whole 6 hours to Riverton by myself!! Send me all your fav conference talks please It was so bittersweet to say goodbye to the family I've made here in Bella Rosa. I could not have dreamed up a better ward! I will never forget all the amazing members that fed us everynight and were always looking out for us. I also feel SO blessed to have been apart of the Teaupa and Dunagan familes' journey into the gospel. Their tes...

Ciao!! What's up everyone? Hope you all are doing good and staying safe cuz Corona is getting crazyy lately! I'm just happy for every day I get to still go out and see people...praying we don't have to be locked in our apartment anytime soon🙏 These past 2 weeks have flown by. Here's some highs and lows: - The two people we were teaching completely ghosted us so we've been working our tails off to find new people -Been doing a TON of raking leaves...I woke up one morning & thought I had broken my wrist in my sleep lol turns out it was just sore from raking for hours - Taught some AMAZING member lessons! We have been doing this thing where we teach lessons to members in our ward who were converts to the church and they act like their "old selves". This way, we get to practice teaching and they can give us feedback. Plus the spirit in these lessons has been sooo strong and the members love it. -Found a new person! José. Missionaries have taught him befor...

Ciao:) It's been such a great week and I am so grateful to be a missionary! Prima, happy birthday yesterday to the cutest and coolest 7 year old in the world--I love and miss u Chasers❤ This week both Raiden and Henry got baptized! Double dunked baby. It was the happiest day ever. Seeing how the gospel has changed this family just makes my heart so full. When I first met Henry, he wasn't interested in the church, had a beer fridge in his garage and thought "mormons" were polygamists who rode around on horses and buggies. BUT if I wouldn't have known any better, I would have thought he was a member! He is constantly serving everyone around him, always making others feel so good about themselves and is a wonderful father to his kids. He truly personifies the attribute of charity and he will do amazing things as a member of the church! I can't wait to see where his decision takes his family and I'm so excited for them to be sealed in the temple next year.  I ...

What's up everyone, I hope y'all had a good week and are staying warmer than I am over here in Colorado! It snowed about 10 inches on Sunday and the temp dropped to 0 degrees. Non mi piace🙃  We biked to church wearing sweatpants under our dresses and dodging all the snow plows as they came up behind us. I was singing "Jesus take the wheel" in my head the whole way there. After church we had a couple lessons in the area that we just walked to cuz the snow would not stop dumping. Since there was no way for us to bike home in the powder and members aren't allowed to give rides anymore, we walked the 3.5 miles back to our apartment! It was an adventure to say the least. We played 20 questions but it turned into 150 questions before we got home lol good times!  Some cool stuff: • We went on exchanges and I got to be with my trainer Sister Aiono for the day! SUCH A BLESSING. I was losing the polynesian in me but I quickly got it back;) • While on exchanges, we were at ...

Ciao a tutti! I'm alive and well, just absolutely freezing:) I think living in Hawaii made my blood pretty thin and I am definitely NOT ready for winter on a bike! Send warm thoughts my way lol. It was a bit of a slower week this week 'cause our people were super busy...or maybe they are just avoiding us?¿ Who knows hahah! Here are some highlights: - We did some service for a cute old lady in our ward named Frances. She wanted to feed us some lunch after so she made  grilled cheese, tomato soup and jello salad. I am absolutely terrified of jello salad and wasn't gonna eat some until she looked at me, with TEARS in her eyes and said, "you're not gonna try my jello salad?" Of course I had to try it so I scarfed it down and held in my gagging until we left. Worst thing I've eaten on the mish so far😂 #stateside - Great news! We are now allowed to go inside homes to have lessons! So we set up a million members lessons and it's been so fun getting to know e...

Ciao mi amici e famiglia! Well I've officially made it through 2 transfers in the mission field and we got the news last night that my comp and I are staying in Frederick! WAHOOOO! Such a blessing because I was not ready to leave the promised land. Also, another huge blessing it that my trainer, Sis Aiono, is coming back to the zone to be the new STL! It's gonna be a great transfer, I'm pumped. Besides the fact that winter is coming and we still aren't allowed to go inside andddd we are still on bikes:) But the Lord will provide! Highlights: - Henry is back on track and progressing towards baptism! He is willing to give up everything to follow the word of wisdom and we are helping him keep his commitments. *Send me your best coffee substitutes!* - Went on mini exchanges with the STLs and taught Kevin a lesson! We read 3 Nephi 11 with him and talked about baptism. He loved every word and it was such a blessing to have Sister Ripley there because she shared some things he...
