Mission scripture

"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever." Alma 26:12

Ready for the weekkkk?

Okay Familyy....

This has been quite an interesting week...where should I begin?!
So Sister Taylor and I had the best time ever as companions. I was so sad to see her leave me. Sister Vave came wednesday and I was excited! Sister Vave on the other hand wasnt. She and I got along so well together in the MTC and she's even naming one of her 16 kids that she's going to have Leina'ala Shayla Marie ----(last name) haha but she doesn't like change at all. She hated walking all day -she had a car in her last area- and hated the heat. When we got home she became anti social and would go upstairs and sit on the bed and I realized she was texting. I confronted her and we talked for awhile and she just needed to to get through this change. The next day we went on exchange with the Hermana's and she got sick. We went to the urgent care and found out she had a raging urinary infection. We came home and she slept and slept. It was really weird cuz all I was doing was sitting on my couch and reading. Jesus the Christ is an awesome book btw..you should all read it! It's huge though! She text president Ames-my MP- and told him she had to go home. She ended up packing all her things even after President Ames told her that he'd let her know this coming friday but for the time being it was a no. SOOOO she told me she was going to leave, passed out in the shower, hit her head on the toilet paper holder, broke that off, and slit her ear. So she went to bed. I called President Ames all I knew about everything and he drove all the way from Ueless. So he came with the ZL's and the ZL's and I went in the garage while the two talked. The zone leaders were pretty excited to finally say they've been in a Sister's apartment haha and with that, you should be happy to know, we finally put my bike together. Yay! Haha
Sad to say that Sister Vave went home today and I am currently companionless. But I'm staying with the sisters in my area for now till I get a new one. I'm sad but I guess I cant do anything about it. But Sister Vave is now scared cuz coming from a Tongan family, she doesn't know what her fathers going to do to her so please keep her in your prayers. She needs them. 
Well going on, I'm fine. No worries, I've got a baptism tonight so hopefully I can actually make it :p But I'm so excited! Emily -who will be getting baptized- is golden. After 3 weeks of meeting with her, she has read the BOM and loved it!!! She got her full answer reading Alma 5 -last two verses. Pretty great! I was so excited! 
I finally got to go on an exchange with Hermana Snow and that was great!! It was so fun and I learned a couple words in espanol but not completely fluent yet ;) or at all...not even close actually! But hey! It'll happen! 
Other than all that crazy stuff, it's going...going! 

Totally forgot to say, we played this terrible joke on this greenie elder. His comp was being transfered and we all told him that he was going on an exchange with me since my comp was being transfered too. He did everything in his power to prove that it was wrong but our white handbook never said anything about exchanging with the opposite sex on transfer day. So everyone played it and I even called him the night before to make sure we were still on for the exchange. The next day I could tell he was freaking out..ohh elder Peterson!! hahaha we are so mean to himmm...but a fun mean. When he found out he was furious!! It was pretty hilarious! ohh man! We sure have some greaatttt times! :)
Well I will let you know who my new comp is next week and hopefully she's stay with me for at least a week :p jk
 
Love you all!
