Week 42: faith to sit through the rain

Image
Hi everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter/Conference weekend! This week was good. God blessed me with another polynesian companion:) Honestly by now, I can say I'm polynesian at HEART. Sister Tia is amazing & we're excited for a transfer of miracles!! Transfer weeks are always a bit crazy but as soon as my comp got here, we got to work! On Friday we were out contacting formers and we went to go see a girl named Zarah. I type in the address and pull up to the apartment that is tells me on the maps, #129. We say a prayer & knock that door. A lady steps out and we ask if her name is Zarah. She said no and that she doesn't know anyone with that name. SO we took this "accidental tracting" opportunity to teach her! We opened up the Book of Mormon & read with her. She loved it and wanted to meet again!! As we got back in the car I double-checked the address on my phone and realized Zarah's apartment was actually #128! WHAT? I know for a fact tha...

Week 41: Love Him because He love you first!

What is up everyone! Hope y'all are having an awesome spring break & enjoying the beach for me:) It's crazy to think that this time last year, everyone's spring break plans were cancelled, we were all stuck inside & life was crazy, scary and unknown. Looking back, to how scared and worried I was last year compared to how I feel now is a world of a difference! And I know that is because of this gospel that brings a lasting peace & comfort we can't find through anything else! Bring it on world, I'm not scared anymore 😎 ANYWAYS transfers came this week and yeah you guessed it. My sweet Soa Aiono is being booted to Wyoming:/ We all knew it was coming but I'm still sitting here in denial hahahah. I love that girl. If God sent me to Colorado for one reason it might just be her. The impact she has made on my life is unmatched. The biggest thing she taught we was that, "If you just do everything out of LOVE you can never go wrong." She loves every...

Week 40: long live elder pitt!

HEY FAM! It's been such a great week! Flew by. Each transfer I've been here keeps getting faster & faster! Lowkey makes me sad because I wanna be a missionary forever hahaha:) We saw many miracles this week & many prayers were answered. More than anything, my testimony of prayer has grown the most this transfer! This area has been pretty difficult to find new people to teach, but for the past 3 weeks we have found 1-2 new people each week! Our goal this week was to find 2 new people. We had been praying hard to reach our goal & had faith that we would. It was already Thursday and we were still at 0. So we went to meet this guy that the Elders had passed off to us and come to find out he has 2 teenage daughters that joined us for the lesson:) So God pretty much dropped a miracle into our laps. We felt so grateful & blessed! So hyped to teach this family because y'all know I love teaching families!! This week I was also praying hard to see some success on Face...

Week 39: snowpocalypse

Image
Heyyyyy this is gonna be short & sweet cuz I've been slacking on my weeklys lately! But this was an awesome week! Our zone hit / exceeded all of our goals! Everyone seems to be super motivated and uplifted after an amazing Zone Conference:) This week we got to go on 2 full exchanges with some of our amazing sisters! It was so fun to be with them & learn so much from them. I think one of my favorite things about the mission is getting to know other missionaries, learning from their testimonies & watching them find joy in the work! The missionaries here in the FOCO mission are incredible and God definitely knew I needed to meet them.  Some of you might have heard, but Colorado got dumped on with snow this last weekend. We were stuck inside all day Sunday because it was coming down so hard. Then, the next morning we woke up to 3 feet of snow on the ground & a text from president declaring a "mission-wide service day!" So we went out & helped people all da...

CIAO! Wow whatta week it has been here in Longmont. Lots of meetings, miracles & MEALS. Got the news we can eat in members homes now:) wahoooo I never thought this day would come!  Highlights: - had MLC & it was awesome! We crushed all of our mission goals, so we are stretching for higher ones this month. It's so amazing because we are finding, teaching & baptizing more people than the mission was in 2019, BEFORE covid! - had such a spiritual zone meeting about "the worth of souls" & got the zone excited about finding those lost souls! I made 50 oreo truffles to eat afterward and everyone loved it. hahah I swear I am becoming my mother😂 - showed up to a lesson with our 15-year old friend Anai & she brought her cousin who wants to be taught too!! - had 6 lessons back-to-back HA it was so awesome and we were zonked by the end of the night -got an email about my visa for ITALY!  I was starting to think Italy would never happen so I was literally shocked ...

Week 37: all pics, few words;)

CIAO! I have 0 time but here are some  pics  and my favorite verses from this week: 2 Nephi 4:19-21 "And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted.  My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep.  He hath filled me with his love, even unto the consuming of my flesh." KNOW IN WHO YOU TRUST! Trust in God. He is there to support us, lift us, and walk with us. Open your heart and let His love fill your whole soul! Your life will be changed:) I love my Savior and I love the mission!! Sorry this is a lame email hahaha I promise a better one next week! XO, sis pitt
